[Luo Tianyi's *Neijing Leibian*] Lost
Preface by Liu: In recent times, some physicians have shifted their allegiance to the teachings of Zhang (Zhang Zhongjing). Although I have not examined their specific texts, since the Han Dynasty, only those who recognize Zhang Ji, Wang Shuhe, Sun Simiao, and Qian Yi as having truly inherited the tradition are considered correct. Their use of medicines is based on the "Seven Formulas and Ten Categories" (Qifang Shiji), manipulating them flexibly. Their therapeutic methods hold that unless it is a sudden acute condition, one must first nourish the Stomach Qi (Wei Qi) as the foundation, rather than merely treating the disease. Those with insight consider this approach close to ancient practices. Li Dongyuan (Li Gao, courtesy name Mingzhi) was one who deeply acquired the learning of Zhang Zhongjing. His discussions and clinical cases are briefly recorded in Yuan Haowen's collected works. Luo Qianfu (Luo Tianyi) from Zhenzhou once studied under him. One day he met me and said, "My teacher once instructed me: 'Although there were formulas in ancient times, each formula had its origin. For instance, regarding jiaoxie (foot qi/beriberi), there are differences between the North and South. The South is mostly damp and low-lying; the pathology there corresponds to what the Classic says about water and dampness, where dampness enters from below. Sun Simiao understood this, so his formulas cured many patients in the South. As for the North, which is high and cold, people also suffer from this. This is what is referred to as fluid retention originating internally and dampness residing below, or excessive grain intake leading to abundant food qi but deficient healthy qi, with dampness settling in the lower body. I know the rationale behind this. Therefore, my formulas applied in the North are like Sun's formulas applied in the South. Please classify these according to meridians and syndromes, so that one may understand the origins of the formulas.' Since receiving this instruction, I completed three drafts, all of which were destroyed twice by my teacher after rigorous refinement. It took three years to finalize. I named it *Neijing Leibian*. I dare to ask you for a preface. The *Neijing* consists of eighteen volumes. The nine volumes outside the *Suwen* are no longer seen and need not be discussed. Taking the *Suwen* alone, both Master Cheng (Cheng Hao) and Master Shao (Shao Yong) considered it a book from the Warring States period. However, since the *Jiayi Jing*, it was no longer in its original Warring States form. Since the time of Zhu Xi and others, it was no longer in the form of the *Jiayi Jing*. And what is transmitted today is no longer in the Warring States form. If one does not examine the text and investigate the principles within what is claimed to be the complete work, no one can identify its true nature and comprehend it holistically. What Mr. is doing now seems merely to enable students to become familiar with this material so they may later integrate it elsewhere. If this is not the case, it would be better to advise students to engage with ancient formulas. If students cannot do this, then engaging with ancient formulas directly would be superior." Luo also agreed with this view. I heard that Master Li passed away thirty years ago, yet Luo worships him and serves him as if he were alive. In a world of declining morals, such conduct deserves a preface. (From Collected Works)
Xu Chunfu stated: Luo Tianyi, courtesy name Qianfu, was from Zhending. He was a disciple of Dongyuan (Li Gao). He devoted himself to arduous study, accumulating knowledge deeply and persistently. Living under Dongyuan's guidance for over ten years, he mastered its subtleties. He authored *Weisheng Baojian* (Precious Mirror for Health Preservation), twenty-four volumes, which circulated widely. (From *Gujin Yitong*)
[Zhu Zhenheng's *Suwen Jiolue*] One volume, extant
Xu Chunfu stated: Zhu Zhenheng, courtesy name Yanxiu, pseudonym Danxi, was from Yiwu, Zhejiang. He loved learning from childhood, memorizing a thousand characters daily. Initially studying for civil service examinations, he later pursued Daoist studies at Huashan Mountain and became a disciple of Duke Xu Wen Yi. One day, the Duke said to him, "My illness has persisted for a long time; only someone proficient in medicine can cure it. You are bright and quick-witted. Why not practice medicine to benefit others?" Thus, Danxi dedicated himself again to medical formulas. Soon he realized, "Using ancient formulas to treat contemporary diseases may preserve the form, but one must reference the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*, exercising flexible judgment, to save the world." He then traveled seeking teachers, crossing the Zhejiang River into Wu, visiting Nanxu and Jianye, but found no suitable mentor. Returning to Wuzhou, he heard of Master Taiwu and went to pay respects. After several visits without an audience, his determination grew stronger. Finally, the master received him, expounding upon the doctrines of the schools of Liu Wansu, Zhang Congzheng, and Zhu Gong. Yanxiu accepted the teaching, his medical skills becoming increasingly divine, and his fame spreading. People seeking treatment gathered in droves. He prescribed formulas according to syndromes; his recorded medical cases are verifiable. He also authored *Gezhi Yulun*, elucidating profound mysteries. (From *Gujin Yitong*)
[Slao Shou's *Du Suwen Chao*] Three volumes, extant
Yizhen County Gazetteer states: Slao Shou's family originated from Xiangcheng, Xuchang. During the Yuan Dynasty, his father and ancestors held official posts in Jiangnan, moving from Xuchang to Yizhen. Shou was alert and intelligent, studying under Mr. Han Shuo, memorizing over a thousand characters daily. He wrote essays with thoughtful expression, excelling particularly in Yuefu poetry. Wang Juzhong, a famous physician from Jingkou (Zhenjiang), resided in Yizhen. Shou visited him frequently. Wang said, "The ancestors of medicine are the Yellow Emperor and Qibo; their words are lost. What remains in the world are only the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*. You should study them." Shou finished reading the entire volume, then requested permission from Wang to categorize the content into twelve classes: Zang-Xiang (Viscera and Manifestations), Jingdu (Meridian Measurements), Maihou (Pulse Signs), Bingneng (Disease Capacities/Nature), Quesheng (Health Preservation), Lunzhi (Discussion of Treatment), SeMai (Complexion and Pulse), Zhen Ci (Acupuncture and Moxibustion), Yin Yang, Biaoben (Root and Branch), Yunqi (Six Qi Movements), and Huicui (Compilation). He copied and read these. From then on, Shou's learning advanced daily, achieving remarkable accuracy in all endeavors.
According to the *Danshengtang Catalog*, there exists Slao's *Suwen Zhujie* (Annotations on Suwen), three volumes, one fascicle. It is likely the same book, so it is not listed separately here.
[Wang Ji's *Xu Suwen Chao*] Three volumes, extant
Autobiographical Preface: I read the *Suwen Chao* compiled by Master Bo Ren (Slao Shou) and appreciated his deletion of superfluous details and extraction of key points. Furthermore, the arrangement follows categories logically and orderly, which requires deep understanding of the learning of Qi Bo and Huang Di. However, Wang Bing's annotations were largely omitted, with only one or two attached to the most difficult passages of the classic text. From Slao's perspective, annotation might indeed be unnecessary. However, later students may not possess Slao's level of insight. Without annotations, how would they begin? Therefore, I retrieved Wang Bing's annotations and supplemented them, adding the character "Xu" (Continuation) to the title page. Occasionally, I added my own opinions, distinguishing them with the phrase "Yu Wei" (I foolishly believe). The content originally compiled by Slao is not specially marked. Slao's own annotations remain as they were, distinguished by the phrase "Jin An" (Current Commentary). This way, the original and current annotations are clearly differentiated. Perhaps there are errors, allowing students to choose wisely. Although my compilation may not fully align with the scriptural intent without error, perhaps through my errors, one might deduce correctness. As the proverb goes, "Cast a brick to attract jade," it may offer some minor contribution. On the first day of the third month of the Jiyao year of Zhengde era.
Qimen County Gazetteer states: Wang Ji served as a local scholar in his youth. When his mother suffered from vomiting, he devoted himself to medical studies. He explored the essential principles of Qi Bo, Huang Di, Bian Que, and Cang Gong. For strange diseases and unusual symptoms, his diagnoses were invariably accurate. His reputation was so high that patients were cured simply by hearing his cough. He saved many lives. He authored *Shishan Yi'an* (Medical Cases from Stone Mountain), *Yixue Yuanli* (Principles of Medicine), *Bencao Huibian* (Compendium of Materia Medica), *Suwen Chao* (Excerpts from Suwen), *Majue Kanwu* (Corrections to Pulse Rhymes), *Waike Lili* (Principles of Surgery), *Douli Shibian* (Analysis of Smallpox Treatment), *Zhenjiu Wenda* (Q&A on Acupuncture and Moxibustion), *Shanghan Xuanlu* (Selections from Shanghan Lun), and *Yunqi Yilan* (Overview of Six Qi Movements).
Summary of the Siku Quanshu states: *Xu Suwen Chao*, nine volumes, written by Wang Ji of the Ming Dynasty. This work builds upon Slao Shou's *Suwen Chao*, incorporating the main points of Wang Bing's original annotations, and re-compiling them. All additions are distinguished by the character "Xu". The nine volumes are divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower sections: four volumes upper, one middle, four lower. The headings strictly follow Slao's original structure. (Catalog Entry)
[Ding Zan's *Suwen Chao Bu Zheng*] Ten volumes, extant
Brief Autobiographical Preface: Appointed as Governor of Dongjia (Wenzhou), I lived in constant reverence and fear, striving to fulfill my duties. I grieved that my people often suffered premature death due to medical errors. Thus, I constantly blamed myself. I summoned the physicians and told them, "Medicine concerns human life; you must be cautious. Lack of medicinal efficacy stems from imprecise techniques; imprecise techniques stem from a lack of foundational learning. Have you studied the *Suwen*?" They replied, "No." "Why not?" "We fear its language is obscure and profound." "Have you studied the *Suwen Chao*?" "No." "Why not?" "We fear the text contains many printing errors." Therefore, during administrative leisure, I took the manuscript and manually corrected it. I included Wang Bing's annotations where they aligned with the classic text, encouraging mutual copying and selection of children to recite and study. Fearing that the theory of Five Movements and Six Qi might be hard to understand, and pulse principles difficult to grasp, I appended diagrams of the Main and Guest phases of the Five Movements and Six Qi, along with *Zhenjia Shuyao* (Key Points for Diagnosticians), hoping students would know their direction and my people would benefit.
General Rules: Wang Bing's annotations seem somewhat verbose and general. I have selected and modified content from other books, adding my own views. Doubts and errors are left blank for experts to fill. 1. Annotations prioritize Wang Bing's detailed explanations, so Wang's notes are unattributed. Slao's are cited as "Slao says." My views are circled for distinction. 2. Easy-to-understand passages are noted. 3. Based on Slao's old text. 4. Detailed explanation of only one Zang organ, others inferred by analogy.
Xiuning County Gazetteer states: Ding Zan, courtesy name Ruqi, was from the West Gate. The Ding family practiced medicine since the Song Dynasty. In the early Jiajing era, Ding Shen was famous for his medicine. His son, Chu Zan (Note: Text implies inheritance, likely referring to Ding Zan inheriting from father/grandfather), learned the trade. Later, possessing hundreds of strings of cash, he wished to give it to his son, but Zan declined and returned home. His medical treatments were remarkably effective, and people regarded him as an immortal. He loved hosting guests, who always filled his house. He once spent fifty strings of cash to rescue someone from distress. His calligraphy and painting resembled the styles of Mi Fu and Ni Zan. He died at sixty.
Summary of the Siku Quanshu states: *Suwen Chao Bu Zheng*, twelve volumes, edited by Ding Zan of the Ming Dynasty. Zan, courtesy name Dianbai (Note: Contradicts Ruqi in gazetteer, usually Zan is Ruqi, Dianbai might be another style or error in source), was from Zhenjiang. A Jinshi degree holder in the Dingchou year of Jiajing, he served as Prefect of Wenzhou. Initially, Slao Shou wrote *Suwen Chao*, but over years, copies contained many errors. Zan used the old version to re-correct it, additionally adopting Wang Bing's original annotations to clarify meanings. It comprises twelve sections, following Slao's old examples. Diagrams of the Main and Guest phases of Five Movements and Six Qi and *Zhenjia Shuyao* are appended. (Catalog Entry)
[Lv Fu's *Neijing Huowen*] Lost
Draft History of Ming states: Lv Fu, courtesy name Zhiying, was from Yin. Orphaned and poor in youth, he studied classics and poetry with a teacher. Later, seeking a doctor for his mother's illness, he met the famous physician Zheng Lizhi from Quzhou at an inn. He respectfully served him and thereby obtained ancient secret prescriptions and books on complexion, pulse, and materia medica. He researched for a year, and his trials were consistently effective. Feeling insufficient, he purchased all ancient and modern medical books, studying day and night to exhaust their depths. Thereafter, he practiced medicine publicly, achieving miraculous results. Regarding the major classics of medicine, such as *Neijing*, *Suwen*, *Lingshu*, *Bencao*, *Nanjing*, *Shanghan Lun*, *Maijing*, *Majue*, *Bingyuan Lun*, *Taishi Tianyuan Yuce*, *Yuangao*, *Liweizhi*, *Wuchang Zheng*, *Xuanzhu Miyu*, *Zhongzang Jing*, and *Shengji Jing*, he provided critical discussions. He evaluated previous famous physicians including Bian Que, Cang Gong, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Pang Anchang, Qian Zhongyang, Chen Wuye, Xu Shumi, Zhang Yuansu (Yishui), Liu Hejian, Zhang Zihe, Li Dongyuan, Yan Zili, Wang Defu, and Zhang Gongdu. His works include *Neijing Huowen*, *Lingshu Jingmai Jian*, *Wuse Zhen Qi Gai*, *Qiemai Shuyao*, *Yunqi Tushi*, *Yangsheng Zayan*, *Maixu*, *Maixi Tu*, *Nanjing Fusuo*, *Sishi Xielifang*, *Changsha Shanghan Shi Shi*, and *Songfeng Zhai Zazhuo*. Dai Liang from Pujiang collected dozens of his most notable clinical cases into a medical record. In his later years, he styled himself Cangzhou Weng. He was appointed Instructor of Xianju and Linhai, and Professor of Taizhou, but refused all posts.
[Wang Yi's *Suwen Zhu Yinan*] Lost
Yangcheng County Gazetteer states: Wang Yi was precocious. At seven, hearing Tang poems recited, he could recite them clearly after one hearing. At eight, he excelled at writing. Growing up, he memorized a thousand characters daily. He took the imperial examination but abandoned his studies due to illness, subsequently mastering medical arts. His treatments were often remarkably effective. He had knowledge of music and calendar science and was especially skilled in poetry. His works include *Suwen Zhu Yinan*, *Shanghan Gekuo*, several volumes of arithmetic, and over five hundred poems.
