Ding Mingdeng wrote a preface stating: "My family has been proficient in medicine since ancient times. During the Hongwu reign, my grandfather, Elder Zhongbao, was highly regarded in the village for his seniority and virtue. He served as the acting magistrate of our county under the appointment of the Capital Prefecture for the longest period. His miraculous deeds were numerous. During the Chenghua reign, my grandfather Degang encountered frequent tiger attacks in the reed thickets by the riverbank. Grandfather Degang wrote an essay to sacrifice to them, and the tigers crossed the river and left, ending the tiger plague in the area. He once returned gold lost by others; even today, villagers still speak enthusiastically about the stories of sacrificing to tigers and returning gold. Other deeds are detailed in the biography written by Sun Ding of Luling. My great-granduncle Boyuan studied in Longdong Mountain and received secret formulas from an extraordinary person. Later, he served in Chaocheng and retired after nine years. His friends welcomed him to travel to Beijing. The senior officials in court at that time, such as Liu Daxia, Tu Yong, Zhong, Zeng Jian, Gu Zuo, and Pan Zhen, respected his character and happily exchanged poems with him. There were many poems. It seems that generations of our family excelled in the wonderful art of saving lives. Their legacy of formulas and secret manuscripts had scattered over dynastic changes. When my great-grandfather Zhuxi Xi carefully collected the remaining books and promoted them, referencing ancient formulas and adding those verified by himself, they were compiled into a book of ten volumes. The book first discusses disease origins, then physical symptoms, then pulse methods, followed by treatment methods, formulas, and therapeutic effects. Upon opening the book, the patient's condition and the rationale behind medication use are clear at a glance. He once said, 'The physician relies on intention; intention lies in appropriateness.' Hence the title *Ji Yi* (Collection of Suitability). However, these scattered chapters were hidden in chests. I feared they would be lost over time, causing the previous generation's compassionate heart to save lives to be forgotten, which I could not bear. Moreover, medical resources are scarce in Fujian, where prayer and sacrifice replace acupuncture and bian stones, and shamans act as doctors. When faced with diseases caused by cold, heat, frost, or dew, people are helpless, let alone serious illnesses. Thus, I planned to print this book to spread it widely. My great-grandfather possessed a benevolent heart as his nature, filial piety and fraternal duty by birth, and loyalty without deceit. I will not discuss other matters in detail, but only mention minor points. For poor and difficult people seeking medicine, he generously provided funds and comforted them gently until satisfied. He earnestly encouraged them to return, assuring them never to feel discouraged, responding diligently without fatigue. Alas, what kind of heart is this? If one cautiously applies this medical art, one will not neglect trivialities and will pity the orphaned and widowed. This is truly insightful commentary on the 'good minister and good doctor' theory of my great-grandfather. Therefore, I narrate this book and briefly describe its implementation to show my great-grandfather's painstaking intent to help others, not merely copying ancient theories to continue the Qi-Huang lineage.
Note: This book was originally authored by Ding Yi according to *Ming Zhi*, but Ding Yi is Degang mentioned in Ding Mingdeng's preface. It has now been revised."
*[Wang Shi (Wenlu) Yi Xian]* (Medical Primer by Wang Wenlu), one volume. Extant.
Inscription states: "The superior doctor treats disease before it arises, not after it has arisen. Treating disease before it arises is easy and leaves no trace; treating disease after it arises is laborious and often ineffective. Therefore, those who treat disease before it arises are often ignored, while those with existing diseases seek doctors. Even if the doctor is excellent, what can be done against established disease? The metaphor of Gaohuang (deep-seated disease) is regrettable. Before the Qin dynasty, classics were complete, learning was unified, and cultivating virtue and health were inseparable. After the Qin dynasty, books were burned, and fortunately, the *Suwen* survived. Scholars abandoned it, calling it a forgery, not realizing it contains profound words assisting creation, which only sages can produce. From the emperor to commoners, self-cultivation is fundamental; how can one govern the world while neglecting oneself? One must distinguish early. Thus, *Yi Xian* was written. It aims to treat disease before it arises, without using drugs, needles, or stones, helping everyone reach the realm of benevolence and longevity. Readers may understand my intent from this, which goes beyond saying 'if not a good minister, then a good doctor.' On the sixteenth day of the fifth month of the summer of Gengxu in the Jiajing era, Wang Wenlu of Haiyan, born in Yiyang."
*Haiyan County Gazetteer* states: "Wang Wenlu, courtesy name Shilian. He passed the provincial examination when young but failed multiple times in the metropolitan examinations. He lived with integrity and never asked others for private favors. When encountering injustice, he cursed and scolded without avoiding powerful nobles. Each household contributed three hundred coins for corvée labor, similar to citizens assisting the county magistrate in implementing the equal-field system. He loved books; upon hearing of rare books, he spent all his money to buy them, always proofreading them by hand. He stored tens of thousands of scrolls on a tower. Once, a fire broke out, and he cried bitterly, saying, 'Reward anyone who helps save the books, ignore everything else.' His works include *Yi Cao*, *Qiuling Xueshan*, *Yi Wenxian Zhi*, and *Wei Zhi*."

*Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: "*Xue Shi Yi An* consists of seventy-eight volumes, written by Xue Ji of the Ming Dynasty. Xue Ji, courtesy name Lizhai, was from Wu County. The book comprises sixty volumes. Those authored by Xue Ji himself include *Wai Ke Shu Yao* (Essentials of Surgery), four volumes; *Yuan Ji Qi Wei* (Opening the Mechanism and Revealing Subtleties), three volumes; *Nei Ke Yao Miao* (Essentials of Internal Medicine), two volumes; *Nü Ke Ti Yao* (Essentials of Gynecology), two volumes; *Li Yang Ji Yao* (Essentials of Leprosy and Ulcers), three volumes; *Zheng Ti Lei Yao* (Classified Essentials of Trauma), two volumes; *Bao Ying Cui Yao* (Essentials of Infant Care), one volume; *Kou Chi Lei Yao* (Essentials of Mouth and Teeth), one volume; and *Bao Ying Jin Jing Lu* (Golden Mirror Record for Infant Care), one volume. Those he revised from old texts with his own comments include Chen Ziming's *Fu Ren Liang Fang* (Good Formulas for Women), twenty-four volumes; *Wai Ke Jing Yao* (Essentials of Surgery), three volumes; Wang Lun's *Ming Yi Za Zhuo* (Miscellaneous Writings of Bright Physicians), six volumes; Qian Yi's *Xiao Er Zhi Jue* (Direct Instructions for Children), four volumes; Chen Wenzhong's *Xiao Er Dou Zhen Fang* (Formulas for Smallpox and Measles in Children), one volume; Du Ben's *Shang Han Jin Jing Lu* (Golden Mirror Record for Cold Damage), one volume; and his father Xue Kai's *Bao Ying Duo Yao* (Extracted Essentials for Infant Care), twenty volumes. First printed by the Shen family in Xiushui, the blocks were damaged. In the Dingmao year of Tianqi, Zhu Ming republished it. A preceding article *Ming Ji Shi* records that when Xue Ji was ill, he dreamed of himself teaching him formulas, which cured him. He also dreamed of requesting the printing of this book. Although strange, it reflects spiritual focus and soul reliance, so it is reasonable to preserve this account. Xue Ji was originally a surgeon but later became famous for internal medicine. In his old age, he died of a surgical disease. Critics argued that the弊端 of tonification led to self-harm. However, Xue Ji sought the root cause in treatment, using Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) and Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill) to directly tonify True Yang and True Yin, nourishing the source of transformation. This was actually initiated by Xue Ji. He mostly used ancient formulas, with modifications that were highly logical, often changing just one or two herbs, demonstrating subtle and magical variations. Later, Zhao Xianke wrote *Yi Guan*, adhering strictly to his methods, using Bawei and Liuwei to treat various diseases indiscriminately, even using Liuwei Wan for thirst in Shanghan (Cold Damage). This rigid application led to many adverse effects. Xu Dachun attributed these faults to Xue Ji, but this was not Xue Ji's original intent. One should not blame Xun Qing because of Li Si. The version circulating in the world is different, adding books like *Shi Si Jing Fa Hui* (Elaboration on the Fourteen Meridians), which were neither authored nor edited by Xue Ji. Book merchants likely added them for novelty, similar to how Dongyuan's Ten Books and Hejian's Six Books included others' works to increase numbers. This version does not contain all the original works of Xue Ji as well as this edition does."

Only for internal medicine, the collection lacks order. *Yao Miao* is good, but reading it may not provide full details. Previously, Mr. Huang Lushe selected cases from each category to form a book named *Nei Ke Yi An* (Internal Medical Cases), indeed supplementing the deficiencies of Xue Lizhai. I will spare no effort to revise and publish it." (From *Dou Zhen Si He Quan Shu*)
Note: The above are recorded in *Zhejiang Tong Zhi · Jing Ji*.
*[He Shi (Yue) Ming Yi Hui Yao]* (Essentials of Bright Medicine by He Yue), two volumes. Not seen.
Qian Qi wrote a preface: "Young He Yue studied Confucianism. When his mother suffered from wind disease, he sought many doctors, but none could cure her. He angrily declared, 'If my mother's illness cannot be healed, what use is my Confucian study?' He then bought all medical books to read. After a year, he said, 'I know how to cure my mother.' He cared for her diligently, and she enjoyed a long life. He also received transmission from Wang Weiyong, a doctor from Suzhou, and his skills improved further. Villagers sought his treatment, and he was usually effective. His door was crowded even at dusk. Soon, the entire county and prefecture, from magistrates downwards, summoned him daily. Doctors in the provincial administration always referred to him. Gentlemen traveling through the prefecture also invited him. Thus, his influence spread widely. He occasionally read ancient medical texts and, after a long time, understood them intuitively, compiling them into a volume titled *Ming Yi Hui Yao*. Magistrate Wei of the county, proficient in medicine, liked it but was promoted before he could print it. Old Magistrate Xia, stationed at the coast, ordered Commander Li Lü to print it and asked me to write a preface. I stood up and sighed: 'Illnesses of hunger and cold are often worse than political failures; weak people suffer more from bad medicine than good. Famous doctors since Xuanyuan and Qibo, such as Yin Xian, Zhang, and Liu, revived the dying and prolonged national destiny. Thus, it is said the superior doctor treats the state. Is their skill uniquely divine? No, they excel in their profession, which is why they are famous. Today, so-called doctors do not know what *Suwen*, *Nanjing*, or *Lingshu* are. Below them, they use medicine for profit; less than one in a hundred is good. Yet Mr. He practices medicine through Confucianism and has such lasting writings. People compare medicine to prime ministership, saying it benefits all things. I suspect this is an exaggeration. May his kindness last forever, like the achievements of a prime minister. Since the two magistrates governed our county, the people above and below appreciated them, happy that our people did not suffer from politics. Now, reading this book, it is like politics. I am also happy that our people do not suffer from bad medicine, hence this preface.' (From *Lin Jiang Xian Sheng Ji*)"
*[Yi Jing Da Zhi]* (Major Principles of Medical Classics), four volumes in *Yi Cang Mu Lu*. Extant.
General Rules state: "He Yue previously compiled *Ming Yi Hui Yao*, which was printed and popular. Then he compiled *Yi Jing Da Zhi*, not to repeat but due to other reasons. Lord Liu of Mengzhu visited He Yue, who was knowledgeable in medicine. Finding content from various books, he urged collection. Feeling old and dull, how dare I disobey? I reluctantly complied, carefully extracting key words from past sages, polishing them slightly to unify them. Stone, metal, strange, dry, toxic, and purgative drugs are all deleted to avoid harming people. I dare not claim correctness; the rules follow. Colleagues please correct me, do not mock my arrogance. Greatly appreciated."
*[Huangfu Shi (Zhong) Ming Yi Zhi Zhang Tu]* (Diagram of Palm-Sized Bright Medicine by Huangfu Zhong), ten volumes in *Yi Cang Mu Lu*. Extant.
Zhang Ao wrote a preface: "My student Huangfu Shan and his brother Huangfu Songdai are both famous scholars in Renhe. After ten years apart, Shan came to Jinling to pay respects, holding a book. Reading it, it was *Ming Yi Zhi Zhang Tu*. He said: 'Shan has worked on this book for three generations; Jia Zhi has also been involved for three generations. Since his grandfather Juquan practiced Xuanyuan-Qibo arts, collecting experiences and effects, Mengzhai Shi wrote *Shanghan Zhi Zhang Shu* (Palm-Sized Guide to Cold Damage), and Yunzhou Weng completed it, presumably to broaden the palm-sized guide. The diagrams integrate *Neijing*, extensively collect ancient philosophers' formulas, adapt flexibly without rigidity. It took about a year to complete. Several volumes. It begins with songs and odes to summarize hundred diseases for easy memorization. Then annotations explain causes to resolve doubts. Next, diagnosis judges life/death and root/branch for observation. Then forms and formulas verify accuracy and ensure good medicine. The craftsmanship and ingenuity are imaginable. Wulin is a place of spiritual beauty, gathering talent and literature. Without long-term dedication, how could such a book be achieved? Yunzhou Weng taught it to his son Xiugang. Shan brought it to me asking: 'This humble grandson fears failing ancestral wishes, begs for a word to preserve it forever.' Alas! Virtues like Zouyu and Linzhi are rare. Common people boasting of one good deed rarely avoid selfish motives. Hangzhou has known the Huangfu family for medicine for a long time. Father, son, grandfather, and grandson are pure, honest, and close. They help others in distress, forgetting sleep, food, cold, and heat, ignoring rewards. Yet they print this to benefit humanity, wishing all to live long through medicine and all doctors to become good and sage-like. How can gentlemen not support this?"

Autobiographical Note states: "My grandfather Fushan dedicated himself to arts and letters, renowned in Jiangzuo. Students seeking knowledge from him often became prominent. But failing imperial exams again and again, he grew old as a common scholar. My father was smart and sensitive; grandfather loved him greatly, hoping for early success. Unexpectedly, grandfather fell ill, and treatment failed. His dying wish to my father was: 'If you cannot be a good minister, be a good doctor.' Soon, my father lost his support and was hindered from taking official exams, so he changed to medicine, calling himself Nianshan. For fifty years, he was famous for his medical skills. Inside and outside Wucheng, old and young, men and women suffering from Shanghan (Cold Damage) or smallpox/measles, obtained full recovery from my father, countless in number. I am unworthy, weak and sickly, unable to complete the scholarly path. My father ordered me to abandon it and study Qi-Huang books. This lasted several winters and summers. Gaining some understanding, he showed me *Ming Yi Zhi Zhang* by Yunzhou Weng, saying: 'What you learned earlier—Zhongjing's Shanghan, Dongyuan's Neishang, Hejian's Rebing, Danxi's Zabing—is broad learning. Simplified and refined is this book. You should follow it.' I respectfully accepted, studying morning and night, finally understanding its essence. Truly uncovering secrets and profound mysteries, inheriting various schools, distinguishing roots and treatments, clarifying luck and qi suitability. Excellent. The slight regret is being constrained by diagrams and limited in discussion, explicit in symptoms but obscure in pulses, detailed in formulas but brief in methods. Flipping through, there are still detours. So I dared to explore the sources, categorizing items by doors, grouping formulas by type, adding song notes, inserting my own views, enabling learners to differentiate syndromes by pulse and apply treatments based on syndromes, crossing the bridge in a snap of fingers. I also gained much insight through this. Unfortunately, I was not born in Mr. Yunzhou's time, but fortunately, not too far removed, allowing me to privately learn from his school. May great figures of the world appreciate this. Auspicious day of September, Tianqi Year 2. Junior scholar Shao Da of Changzhou respectfully records.
*Jiangnan Tong Zhi* states: "Shao Da, from Suzhou, descendant of Northern Yu. Loved reading Sima Qian's *Shiji*, never putting down the scroll. Proficient in Shanghan, cures were immediate. A neighbor suffering from malnutrition and near death, Shao Da wrapped gold in his medicine bag to give him, resulting in a quick recovery. People called him Mr. Renshan."

Xu Chunfu stated: "Wu Xianzhong, courtesy name Yongliang, pseudonym Xuechuang, from Xiuyang. His family practiced Confucianism, but he naturally loved medicine. Using Dai Ren's sweating, vomiting, and purging methods, supplemented by mild and harmonious formulas, he fully explored the subtleties of the medical way. Named *Yi Xue Quan Heng*, it is circulated."

Autobiographical Preface states: "In ancient times, chaos was undivided, people did not die young. Later, customs opened, desires awakened, and diseases arose. The Yellow Emperor pitied them, aided by medicine and healing, and *Neijing* was created. Successive eras followed, from Qin, Han, Tang, Song downwards, lacking no individuals. Recorded on bamboo slips, filling ox-carts. All aimed to mystify their techniques and marvel at their uses, raising the world and future generations to the realm of benevolence and longevity. My family practiced Confucianism, often reading *Suwen* and other books, exploring the profundities of medicine. Hidden yet meanings were vague, precise and mixed errors, A acceptable, B rejected, knowing not where to turn. Fearful of the vastness, I gathered fragments, calling it a shortcut. Causing roots and cores to lack reference. Few avoided confusing sacred texts and harming lives. Ashamed of my ignorance, relying on personal experience treating according to *Neijing*, synthesizing various masters, searching for the intentions of sages through ages, combining books without omission, analyzing formulas without disorder, discarding wrong and keeping right, classifying and dividing, totaling one hundred volumes. Named *Gu Jin Yi Tong*. Collecting ancient methods up to历代良医 (past good doctors), summarizing today. Unifying differences, clearly distinguished, compiled into volumes, splendidly observable. Perhaps those tired of complexity find a return, those preferring simplicity lose nothing. Opening the book, medical laws, weights, measures, beginnings, and ends are clear as in the palm. Beneficial for health preservation. If claiming the whole book is not deficient, it awaits the wise. Mid-winter solstice, Bingchen year of Jiajing. Preface by Xu Chunfu of Xin'an."

Autobiographical Preface states: "If the Way has no foundation, it is boundless and directionless. If learning has no master, orientation is uncertain. Medicine as a Way, with human life depending on it, is it not heavy? My family practiced Confucianism, transmitting medical Dao, originating from... Ancestor registered in Beijing. I currently hold this position. Late Father Hengzhai Weng was a student of the county school, studying under Vice Minister Jiezhai Wang Gong, further promoting this Dao. I engaged in civil service exams in youth, unlucky and frequently ill. I investigated formula books *Suwen* and *Nanjing*, vaguely grasping the essentials. Composed *Mai Zheng Lei Ni*. My teacher Vice Minister Songxi Cheng Gong prefaced it and had it printed. Someone said to me: 'Your classification...'"
