《三消》之论，刘河间之所作也。因麻征君寓汴梁，暇日访先生后裔，或举教医学人，即
其人矣。征君规诣其家，求先生平昔所着遗害。乃出《三消论》、《气宜》、《病机》三书，
未传于世者，文多不全。止取《三消论》，于卷首增写六位、藏象二图，其余未遑润色，即
付友人穆子昭。
子昭，乃河间门人穆大黄之后也。时觅官于京师，方且告困。征君欲因是而惠之，由
是余从子昭授得一本。后置兵火，遂失其传。
偶于乡人霍司承君祥处，复见其文，然传写甚误，但根据仿而录之，以付后之学人，
详为刊正云。

The "Treatise on Sanxiao" (Three Wasting-Thirst Syndromes) was authored by Liu Hejian. Since Master Ma Zhengjun resided in Bianliang, during his leisure time he visited the descendants of Mr. Liu. Someone suggested that he seek instruction from medical practitioners, referring to the lineage of Mr. Liu. Master Ma planned to visit their home to request the遗害 (left-behind manuscripts) composed by Mr. Liu in his lifetime. Consequently, three books were presented: *Sanxiao Lun* (Treatise on Three Wasting-Thirst Syndromes), *Qi Yi* (Appropriateness of Qi), and *Bing Ji* (Pathological Mechanisms). The parts not yet circulated in the world had incomplete texts. Only *Sanxiao Lun* was selected; two diagrams, the "Six Positions Diagram" (Liù Wèi Tú) and the "Zang-Fu Image Diagram" (Zàng Xiàng Tú), were added to the beginning of the volume. The remaining parts were left unpolished due to lack of time and were handed over to his friend Mu Zizhao.
Zizhao was a descendant of Mu Dahuang, a disciple of Hejian. At that time, he was seeking an official position in the capital but was facing financial difficulties. Master Ma wished to benefit him through this opportunity, and thus I received a copy from Zizhao. Later, due to war and fire, the transmission of this text was lost.
Accidentally, while at the residence of my fellow townsman, Official Huo Sicheng Junxiang, I encountered the text again. However, the copied version contained many errors. I merely transcribed it based on the original model and delivered it to future students for detailed correction and publication.
Written on the Winter Solstice Day of the Jiachen Year by Jinxi Yelao (Old Man of Jinxi).
Empirical Prescription of Master Monk Wu of Jiu Ting Temple, Baixingdong: Treats conditions where one drinks hundreds of cups of water yet still feels unsatisfied, with urine resembling oil or the color of apricot kernels. After taking this medicine for three to five days, urine will be discharged profusely, expelling toxins to the lower jiao (Lower Burner), permanently eliminating the root cause within ten days. This prescription was examined by Zhang Hezi, who stated it is a heavy-dose formula and can be used. Master Wu has personally verified its efficacy.
