Liang Xuemeng said: Medicine worthy of emulation, since Xuanyuan and Qibo, apart from Zhang Zhongjing, Li Dongyuan, Liu Hejian, and Zhu Danxi, has never lacked people in subsequent generations. Having purchased and read all complete works, I know that *Neijing* is like the Confucian classics *Analects* and *Mencius*. Zhang, Li, Liu, and Zhu are like Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, and Zhu Xi. And these sages serve to support *Neijing*. After pondering, I observed that among diseases of the twelve meridians, fire syndromes account for the majority. Thus, people who die suddenly or prematurely all suffer from fire syndromes, yet eight or nine out of ten are misdiagnosed by mediocre physicians. Hence, I wrote *Tanhuo Zhuanmen*.

In treating diseases, he rooted his practice in the generation and restriction of the Five Elements and applied them divinely. Thousands sought medicine from him daily. Yin thoroughly understood deep-seated ailments and reported daily recoveries. In his leisure, he invited teachers and scholars to study Neo-Confucianism. He lived to eighty-eight years old.

Preface says: *Shengmo* serves as a clear mirror for students learning medicine. It follows the established methods of Mr. Jingling, Dongyuan, Danxi, and Hejian from *Neijing*, formulating prescriptions and statements. These are not private theories of one person. Medicine is a path where principles are subtle and responsibilities heavy. Saving lives depends on these three fingers [pulse taking] and within two doses of medicine. Without independent judgment, one inevitably causes death. Since beginning my studies, I have devoted day and night to careful inquiry, being cautious about subtle and critical conditions. I explain earnestly to disciples daily. Thus, I take books read throughout my life and profound truths, reciting them constantly. Sometimes theories established by predecessors lack corresponding prescriptions, or prescriptions advocated by elders lack theoretical discussion. The inconsistency makes application difficult. Therefore, I matched them one by one, ensuring tonification and purgation, ascending and descending were appropriate, and cold, heat, warm, and cool properties were accurate. Categorized by type, decoctions are prescribed according to disease. Like guiding a sailor with a compass or telling a mountaineer the winding path. I established main principles to prevent hesitation, hoping future generations aiming to save the world would follow standards, not turning the way of saving lives into tools of death. If errors exist or insights are lacking, I request friends to correct and discuss them. This would be a blessing for medicine and the medical profession. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Jia-Shen year of Wanli, the seventy-seven-year-old old man, physician Fang Yu of Qiantang, wrote.
Preface by Zhou Jing briefly states: When did this gentleman live? Born during the Longqing era, his courtesy name is lost. He wrote this book in the Jia-Shen year of Wanli. The introduction calls himself the seventy-seven-year-old old man, Renhe physician Fang Yu. He likely inherited family traditions and was skilled in the learning of Qi and Huang. At that time, in the 16th year of Kangxi, Ding-Si year, nine days after Start of Spring, Zhou Jing Yuxun of Xiangshantang wrote the preface.
[Zheng Ze] *Mobaozhai Jiyan Fang* (Collected Effective Prescriptions of Mobao Studio), □ volumes, extant.
Preface says: I, Zheng Ze, always wished everyone would be free from disease and suffering. Thus, I most enjoy collecting secret prescriptions. Whenever I heard someone possessed prescription books, if they were effective, I dared not fail to ask. Once asked, they dared not withhold anything. After receiving them completely, I would test them. If tested again and found effective, I would then entrust them to printers to gradually record. After recording for a long time, over thirty years, a volume was formed. I dared not keep them secret, so I thought to make them public. Thus, I planned to have them printed to spread their transmission. I sought a preface from Grand Secretary Jiao of Baixia. The Grand Secretary smiled, sharing a mutual understanding. He said: You have secret prescriptions, wishing to use me to verify them. I also have secret prescriptions, wishing to use you to transmit them. So we combined and printed them together, obtaining nearly a thousand entries, all verified prescriptions and excellent techniques. The world is vast; surely there are like-minded people who prefer prescription books. For any new acquisitions or incomplete parts, please add them freely. If suitable for reprinting or copying, please distribute them according to your ability, so people may avoid disease and suffering. Would this not betray my original intention? Any patient seeking through this compilation might find reliance and fearlessness. Mengpu Jushi Zheng Ze inscribed.

Preface by He Wanzha says: Gentleman Muzhai Luo is likely the grandson of my elder uncle Wenye, Grand Commandant. His family learning is profound, applied in governance. He further mastered *Suwen*, *Nanjing*, and the core teachings of famous sages. Wherever his needle and herb therapy reached, declining illnesses were pacified. He often donated his salary to build houses for charity. Within three years, the coastal region praised his revival of lives. His reputation was well-deserved. Meeting with local scholars who planned to expand his skills to benefit the people, he presented his handwritten manuscripts, titling them *Yizong Cuiyan*. It gathers the achievements of ancient sages without claiming credit. It clarifies prescriptions, first discussing origins. The gentleman said: At birth, humans receive one Qi, after which desires gradually open. Thus, distinctions between Pre-heaven and Post-heaven, Primordial Yin and Primordial Yang are established, unified under the Theory of Primordial Qi. With Qi comes vitality signs of growth, decline, fullness, emptiness, slowness, speed, smoothness, and reversal, reflected in pulses. Since Master Wang Shuhe elucidated the meaning of *Eighty-One Difficulties*, and Scholar Wu Hegao contained its essence, I have slightly added what was lacking, retaining the title at the beginning. Qi having pre- and post-heaven aspects cannot do without nourishment. Hence, superior drugs nourish nature, medium drugs nourish life. Thus, drug properties follow next. Usage is examined; using medicine is like using troops; how can one be rigid? The return is the method of treating according to symptoms, which cannot change. Next are standards for drug usage. Vital energy cycles vary, diseases differ. Without investigating epidemic trends, how can one exhaustively understand? Next are seasonal prescription discussions. Regarding men, women, young, and old, internal and external departments, although methods differ, all return to Primordial Qi, weighing pulse logic, adapting to time and symptoms, attacking pathogens. Thus, ending with four categories. How profound is the gentleman's theory! Detailed yet concise, simple yet comprehensive. Following Xuanyuan and Qibo, preparing famous sages, and enlightening future learners lies here. Benevolent arts will last forever. The gentleman suffered illness in childhood, too weak to bear clothes. He studied Confucian classics, comprehensively mastering Fuxi and Shennong, then respected life regulation and philosophical principles, appreciating the words of Wenzheng: "When successful, be a good minister; when unsuccessful, be a good doctor; both shape destiny." Thereafter, he traveled south to Wu and Chu, north across Huai and Si. Living in Liang'an for over ten years, he discussed with famous families and scholars. Assisted by wisdom, his prescriptions responded immediately. Until governing Haishang, medicine and administration were transmitted together. Some compare him to Chunyu Gong. My great-grandfather Chunxuan Gong, alarmed by Prince Xu's warning due to illness, abandoned his previous studies to learn medicine. He eventually became a famous doctor, authoring *Yijing Dazhi* and *Minghui Huiyao*, which circulated. They generally prioritized origins before formulas. Now obtaining the gentleman's collection, I feel it aligns with my heart. I write brief remarks for the front. As for official governance, I leave it to folk song collectors to record, briefly omitting it. The gentleman's name is Zhouyan, courtesy name Defu, pseudonym Chicheng, from Shexian County.
*Jiangsu General Gazetteer* records: Luo Mu'an was of Huizhou origin, moved to Taizhou. He practiced medicine without seeking profit. His theory prioritized regulation before decoctions. During epidemics, he distributed medicine to save people, saving countless lives. He authored *Yizong Cuiyan* forty volumes, which circulated.

Later abandoned civil service exams to specialize in Qi-Huang medicine. Pulse diagnosis and prescription review were judged solely by Confucian principles. Most cases resulted in survival. County Magistrate Zhou Tianjian valued his fame and frequently hired him with gifts. Zhu paid respects repeatedly without private requests. Zhou treated him with even greater respect. He was especially courageous in righteousness: protecting ancestral tombs, continuing extinct sacrifices, burying remains, establishing sacrificial fields, acting decisively. He served as a critique for later generations, not just renowned for medical skill. He was close friends with Hanlin Academician Yu Yuan, who wrote articles praising him. Fang Zhongfa of Longmian also composed poems for him. Famous figures of the time echoed. Collected works include *Yixue Yuanyao*, *Jiajian Shisan Fang*, *Shiqi Fang*, *Wenjian Lu*, *Dajia Wenhan*, etc. He taught his son Zhu Ying. Ying acquired his learning and also became famous for medicine.

Preface by Ding Yuanjian says: My late father greatly loved medicine, compiling prescriptions almost into a volume. I tried them but found them chaotic. In the Ding-Hai year, I met Miao Zhongchun. Zhongchun was bold and confident in his mastery of Qi-Huang secrets, examining Dongyuan and Zhongjing upwards, paying special attention to *Bencao*. He said: The Three Ancient Books are not transmitted; what is transmitted is this. He did not carry medicine bags while traveling, writing prescriptions by hand for people, often achieving miraculous results. His diagnoses and treatments differed from common doctors. Common doctors could not understand and slandered him. Encountering dangerous and strange cases lasting years, or when panicked and hopeless, people would bow and ask Mr. Miao. Zhongchun often revived the dead, rolling up his sleeves in satisfaction, demanding no payment. From high officials to beggars in poorhouses, he treated them equally. Thus, those seeking prescriptions increased, exchanging and testing them, all proving miraculous. Zhongchun was not stingy, saying: It depends only on how they are used. Zhongchun's unique insights were firm and unyielding, causing common doctors to retreat in awe, remaining calm. His pulse diagnosis and syndrome differentiation were meticulous, hesitant, very careful. He loved traveling, befriending monks, travelers, woodcutters, and villagers, opening his heart. Thus, he collected many secret prescriptions. However, only Zhongchun could approve them internally, saying: I test prescriptions with pulses and syndromes, not test patients with prescriptions. In the Xin-Hai year, I returned home on leave. Not daring to waste mountain days sleeping, I compiled over thirty years of accumulated prescriptions, selecting those with miraculous effects. Zhongchun also recorded preceding and succeeding medical cases, classified and printed them to spread widely. I privately attach myself to the intent of ancients hand-copying prescription books. Zhongchun's given name was Xiyong, from an old family in Haiyu, often residing elsewhere, known as a guest official. In the Gui-Chou spring, Qugong Daoren Ding Yuanjian inscribed.
*Xianxingzhai Guang Biji* (Expanded Notes from the First Awakening Studio), four volumes, extant.
Preface says: I do not serve kings or lords, preserving my humble aspirations, living in seclusion to satisfy myself, avoiding travel fatigue, to preserve natural lifespan. Yet having no merit benefiting things, is it not a flaw of Daoists? Thus, I collected medical prescriptions, carefully seeking drug ways, to preserve benevolence and relief. Whatever proved effective, patients stored it. Enthusiasts copied and passed it on, gaining more verification. Previously, Ding Changru of Changxing collected my prescriptions into one volume, naming it *Xianxingzhai Biji*, printing it for the world. Plates remained in rocky areas, inconvenient for circulation. Many friends requested this book, but I could not respond. I happened to stay in Jinsha. Literary scholar Zhuang Lianzhi often visited, requesting additions to various prescriptions, incorporating commonly used Bencao herbs, increasing to over four hundred types. Detailing processing methods. Also adding essential principles for treating Cold Damage, Warm Diseases, and Epidemics, entrusting his younger brother Zhi to carve blocks for circulation, spreading far and near. Hoping that in remote villages, inns, and boats, where bright doctors are scarce, patients can treat themselves according to prescriptions to alleviate suffering. If this book circulates, it benefits the world. Lianzhi said: Good. In the second year of Tianqi, Ren-Xu year, mid-winter fifteenth. Miao Xiyong of Dongwu self-prefaced.
*Summary of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries* states: *Xianxingzhai Biji* four volumes, written by Ming dynasty Miao Xiyong. Xiyong, courtesy name Zhongchun, from Changshu. *History of Ming* Biography of Artisans attaches him to Li Shizhen's biography. During Tianqi, Wang Shaowei created *Dianjianglu*, assigning Donglin figures to names in *Water Margin*, calling Xiyong the Divine Doctor Andaoquan because of his proficiency in medical principles. This work was originally named *Xianxingzhai Biji*, compiled by Ding Yuanjian of Changxing collecting Xiyong's prescriptions. Xiyong then added various prescriptions, incorporating commonly used Bencao herbs, increasing to over four hundred types. Also adding treatments for Cold Damage, Warm Diseases, and Epidemics, hence called *Guang Biji* (Expanded Notes). Xiyong was contemporary with Zhang Jiebin. Jiebin adhered to rules, while Xiyong allowed considerable variation. Jiebin favored warming and tonifying, while Xiyong used cooling and clearing. Like Yishui and Hejian schools, each with their own paths, yet each had strengths. Zhu Guozhen's *Yongchuang Duanju* records that in Xin-You year of Tianqi, Zhu Guozhen suffered from diaphragm disease, feeling separated top and bottom, severe middle pain unbearable. Xiyong arrived, used five qian of Su Zi [Perilla Seed], and pain stopped. This shows his skill.
*Bencao Danfang* (Single Herb Prescriptions from Bencao), nineteen volumes, extant.
Preface by Qian Qianyi says: Several years after Miao Zhongchun's death, his books mostly circulated. But his excerpted single herb prescriptions from Bencao, marked in red and yellow, A and B, lay scattered in chests. Kang Wenchu Zhuang Lianzhi searched, verified, and ordered them, exhausting years of effort, finally completing the book. He handed it to Hou Zi for printing and transmission. Thus, Miao's遗书 became brilliant. Zhongchun was famous for medicine for nearly forty years. Medical classics and formula families were vast as smoke and sea, which he discussed and penetrated, especially mastering Bencao learning. He believed the ancient Three Ancient Books, untouched by Qin fires, were only this. *Shennong Benjing* in red characters is like the Six Classics. Famous doctors' supplemented *Bielu*, with red and black mixed, is like commentaries. *Benjing* acts as warp, *Bielu* as weft. Deeply studying and extracting ultimate meanings, dissecting and understanding, divine and illuminating, observing convergence. The creation of *Bencao Jingshu* (Commentary on Bencao Classic) excavated secrets of Xuanyuan and Qibo unheard of since Dongyuan. Using spare energy, he collected single prescriptions. Refuting errors, removing weeds, it benefited the people greatly. With this book completed, the task of *Jingshu* began. Zhongchung could have no regrets underground. Was the initial intent of the three gentlemen merely a small supplement? Zhongchun had electric eyes and axe-like beard, like the immortal recluse depicted, discussing rise and fall of nations, military victories and defeats, flowing like wind and springs, loud and resonant, shaking walls. At wine, he often generously told me: Legends say the best doctor treats the state. Below the Three Dynasties, Zhuge Liang treating Shu, Wang Meng treating Qin, are chosen from this. Speaking of Song affairs: Xining laws were rigid formulas causing disease. Yuan politics held ancient formulas to treat disease. Petty officials of succession did not diagnose symptoms but forcibly administered Aconite and Wild Wolf Poison, seeing immediate death. You have talent to treat the state; what do you say now? I pondered unable to answer. Zhongchun, drunk and ears hot, shouted at heaven, drank heavily until drunk, then stopped. Alas, Zhongchun died of old age and illness, and I too faced setbacks and dismissal, emulating Zhongzhou recording prescriptions to end my remaining years. Because of this book's printing, remembering the fallen friend's words, I put down the book sighing for a long time. Zhongchun's given name was Xiyong, an ancient clan in our locality. Resided in Changxing, later moved to Jintan to grow old. Buried in Yangxian mountains. I should write an article to commemorate him someday. December, sixth year of Chongzhen. Old Man of Yushan, Qian Qianyi, prefaces.
