[Lu Shi (Zhongyuan) Qianjin Shenghui Fang] Lost.
The *Jiangsu Tongzhi* records: Lu Zhongyuan, from Qingyang. He practiced medicine without desiring profit, possessing the demeanor of a reclusive scholar. He could observe acupoints and meridians, and assess the smoothness or reversal of Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi). Carriages and shoes arriving at his door numbered hundreds daily, while in his garden ponds, bamboo groves, and rockeries, the clinking of wine cups resonated with joy. In his old age, longing for the Nine-Child Furong Mountain, he could not leave it. He daily wrote the *Qianjin Shenghui Fang*, which his descendants guarded, leading them to settle there.

[Wang Shi (Kai) Zengzhu Yijing Mi Yu] Supplementing the *Yuan History: Treatise on Literature*, 1 volume. Original text not found.
Ni Can stated: Wang Jingze's name is unknown; he was from Lanling.
According to records: Wang Jingze, named Kai, courtesy name Qiyuan, appears in the *Jinhua Prefecture Gazetteer*. His name is hereby supplemented based on this record.
[Sun Shi (Yunxian) Yifang Jicheng] Lost.
Wang Yuanfu briefly stated in the preface: The Sun family of Wenjiang collected various prescriptions, selecting those that were practical, and organized them by category, naming it *Dacheng* (Great Achievement). At the beginning of each category, they incorporated theories from the *San Yin Fang* and other schools such as Yan Shi, compiling them into a single work. This allows readers to understand the theory and seek the prescription clearly at a glance. Upon completion, a preface was requested, and woodblocks were carved for wide dissemination, enabling those who read medical formulas to grasp everything at a glance, saving the burden of collecting numerous prescriptions, and allowing travelers to carry them conveniently, perhaps serving as an aid to health preservation. In the first year of the Zhizhi era (Xinyou), Wang Yuanfu of Wenjiang wrote the preface.
[Xiong Shi (Yanming) Leibian Nanbei Jingyan Yifang Dacheng] 10 volumes. Extant.
The inscription states: The book *Yifang Jicheng* has been highly regarded for a long time. Among them, *Jisheng*, *Bacui*, *Xuanming Lun*, *Ruizhutang*, and the formulas of Sun Zi and Xu Tongzhi □ are particularly practical and cannot be omitted. Our hall has now obtained rare prescriptions selected by famous physicians, added them to Sun's formulas, and integrated them. Named *Yifang Dacheng*, it is newly printed to spread widely, gathering various streams into one source, making it convenient for readers so they need not seek other books. May enlightened physicians kindly examine this.
Xiong Jun stated: Sun Yunxian was from Wenjiang. During the Yanyou reign of Emperor Renzong of Yuan, he selected and compiled *Yifang Jicheng*. My ancestor, Lord Yanming, selected formulas from *Xuanming* and *Bacui*, adding to them. This is what is called *Yifang Dacheng*.
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Leizheng Nanbei Jingyan Yifang Dacheng*, 10 volumes, traditionally attributed to Sun Yunxian of Wenjiang, Yuan Dynasty. It is based on the famous physician's *Yifang Jicheng*. This copy was owned by Qian Zeng of Yeshi Garden and remains an old Yuan edition. The table of contents does not bear a title. Printed by Jinde Shutang on the Chrysanthemum Festival of Guiwei year of Zhengtong. There is a preface stating: "The book *Yifang Jicheng* has been highly regarded... Our hall has now obtained rare prescriptions selected by famous physicians, added them to Sun's formulas... named *Yifang Dacheng*." This indicates it was the work of booksellers, not Sun Yunxian's original work.
According to my father: The book calls itself "North and South Experience" because the climate varies between northern and southern cities. However, the formulas in the book are universally effective when applied generally, hence the name. Later, I read Ji Tian Yi'an (Zongxun)'s explanation of this book, and his interpretation of "North and South" aligns with my father's view.
[Xiong Shi (Zongli) Yishu Daquan] 24 volumes. Extant.
Self-preface states: Medicine excels in specialization, and prescriptions value experiential verification. Ancient and modern medical texts circulating in the world are numerous. Novices, like asking for directions at the sea, do not know where to start. The old publication *Yifang Jicheng* by the Sun family of Wenjiang was later supplemented by famous physicians with formulas from *Xuanming* and *Bacui*, also called *Dacheng*. These have all undergone verification and are effective without trial. Truly a shortcut for health preservation. However, the categories in these prescriptions are mixed, and dosages are unclear, causing regret among colleagues. I have been sick since childhood and love reading medical books. In my spare time, I took previous prescriptions, removed redundant symptoms, categorized them, and listed formulas under entries. I also selected famous prescriptions with unique effects not included by Sun, along with secret family transmissions, compiling them into 24 volumes, titled *Yishu Daquan*. Each volume is divided into sections, each section into categories, each category containing formulas. Formulas are ordered sequentially with numbers, consistent with the table of contents, allowing readers to grasp the outline and details clearly. When treating diseases, one can assess symptoms and have complete prescriptions ready, avoiding cumbersome checking and doubt. The book is kept in the family schoolhouse for self-treatment needs.
I dare not claim it is perfect. Booksellers insisted on printing it for public sharing. Unable to refuse, I state the general idea here. In the 11th year of Zhengtong (Bingyin), early spring, Xiong Zongli, Daoxuan, from Aofeng, wrote the preface.
Note: In Tianwen Zhong, Luo physician Ji Tian Yishou (Zonggui) copied the discussions from this book, titling it *Yifang Dacheng Lun* for beginners. Bo Weng from Yueqian also did something similar.
[Chen Shi (Zijing) Yifang Dacheng] Lost.
Wu Cheng stated in the preface: Using one herb to treat one disease is Bencao (Materia Medica). Using multiple herbs to treat a syndrome is Yifang (Medical Prescriptions). Yifang originates from Bencao. Combining multiple herbs into one formula requires assessing the Five Qi, weighing the Five Flavors, and determining the Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Courier roles. Like a musician tuning strings or a strategist arranging troops, every decision must be appropriate. This requires understanding the Great Transformation and wisdom covering small matters. This was the work of ancient sages, later augmented by famous physicians. However, ancient formulas, such as Yi Yin's Tangye Lun, are no longer visible. What remains today are mostly the formulas from *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage), followed by *Qianjin Fang*. Later scholars added to them until now. Official works like *Shenghui Fang* are too verbose, while private works like *Yijian Fang* are too brief. Daoist Chen Zijing, possessing pure qualities and diligent study, focused on medicine, specifically classifying ancient and modern formulas, selecting and discarding appropriately. Named *Yifang Dacheng*, the selected formulas are all tested and effective, comprehensive yet concise, truly the perfection of medical prescriptions, capable of assisting the sages of antiquity and later physicians in benefiting the people.
[Ai Shi (Yuanying) Ruyi Fang] 2 volumes. Not found.
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Ruyi Fang*, 2 volumes, written by Ai Yuanying of Yuan Dynasty. Ai Yuanying was from Dongping; his life details are unknown. This edition was published by Zhang Zhining of Sanshan. It contains two prefaces: one by Lin Xingzu in Yiwu year of Zhengtong, and one by Wu Dezhang in Guihai year of Zhizhi. The book begins with a general discussion on herb processing, listing only dozens of herbs, which is somewhat brief. Volume 1 discusses syndromes, from stroke to miscellaneous diseases, totaling 30 categories. Volume 2 contains over 300 prescriptions. "Ruyi" means "suitable for," indicating which decoction or pill/powder is suitable for which syndrome. The views are rigid and inflexible. Jiao Shi's *Jingji Zhi* and Gao Shi's *Baichuan Shuzhi* do not record it. However, the block style resembles Yuan dynasty Fujian publications, not a forgery.
Note: In Renyin year of Wanli, Chen Jiayou republished this book, attaching family pulse diagnosis methods and proven formulas, renaming it *Huisheng Jielu*.
[Wang Shi (?) Taiding Yangsheng Zhu Lun] *Yicang Mulu*, 16 volumes. Extant.
Self-preface states: Zhongyang established himself here, living quietly and purely for nearly twenty years. By waiting for movement with stillness, I have fully observed righteous and evil influences. Those who suffer from wrongful illness and death, or are treated blindly by ignorant doctors and moxibustionists, often do not know the cause. Thus, I clarified my mind and wrote freely. Sometimes gaining thousands of words in a day, sometimes spanning months, without forcing words. In the middle, I discussed dangers without avoiding taboo topics, and prescribed only effective formulas, not many. This June, I cut off worldly affairs and casually compiled this volume. As a personal view, it may not be perfect, so I reveal secrets of the two teachings and draw from the nine schools. My clumsy words may not convince others, but I have done my best to close my door. Thus, this book serves the world like a post station at a crossroads, pointing out paths: "This way has tigers and wolves; that way is the main road." Travelers sigh, "This is a path." Those hurrying back and forth are travelers. That is the main road, where few travel, yet I advance alone. Or if harmed, travelers say, "It is fate." How can we know if the main road truly lacks tigers and wolves? I know human nature: hearing magpies brings joy, thinking one gains something, though magpies can signal disaster; hearing crows brings disgust, thinking one loses something, though crows can ward off disaster and bring good luck. Thus, crows are purely auspicious, magpies half-inauspicious. Yet people do not hate magpies nor love crows. Alas! Is it disaster or luck? Joy or disgust? It depends on the situation, not the bird. Magpies must chirp, crows must report. Only humans decide. Although one might wish to ignore them, how can one abandon health preservation? Thus, I begin with "Original Mind" to explain the beginning, ordering marriage, conception, infancy, childhood, youth, old age, and prevention measures to guard against future illnesses. Then, discussing Qi movement, root and branch, Yin and Yang, deficiency and excess, pulse and syndrome treatment, as methods for preserving life and removing disease. Then, categorizing formulas by syndrome as rules. I detailed Phlegm Syndrome as a model for supplementing medical texts. I further categorized miscellaneous treatments and frequently verified formulas, without any negligence or fabrication. In emergencies lacking doctors, even if one cannot diagnose by pulse, the order is clear. Externally, I selected *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, several emergency sections from various families, continued copying ancient and modern wise teachings, and a self-reflection piece, as essential for guarding against evil and preserving sincerity, offered to the wise. I do not expect everyone to live in seclusion to achieve perfection, but merely to understand the heart behind using formulas. Someone said, "A virtuous person speaks little; your words are too chatty." I replied, "I heard in the *Book of Jin* that after conquering Shu, generals asked Shu scholars, 'Why are Kongming's words so trivial?' The scholar replied, 'Concise words are for sages. With sages, it is acceptable. But with armies, detailed explanation is necessary.' Thus, my repetition aims to make everyone understand." Started in the first year of Taiding. Also, *Zhuangzi* says, "When the dwelling is peaceful and stable, heavenly light emanates." Hence named *Taiding Yangsheng Zhu Lun*. *Zhuangzi* also has *Yangsheng Zhu Lun*. Having a master in health preservation prevents confusion by conflicting theories. Recluse Dongxuzi Wang Zhongyang, self-preface.
Yang Yi's postscript states: I obtained the *Taiding Xusu Yangsheng Zhu Lun* from Governor Maodong of Fan Can. The old edition only called him Dongxuzi or Zhongyang, never revealing the author's name. Recently reading Mr. Pao'an Wu's collection, I realized he was a Yuan figure, Wang Junzhang. Briefly: Junzhang, named [missing], styled Zhongyang Laoren, lived during the prosperous Yuan, left office before forty to retire under Mount Yu, admired alchemy, and was especially profound in medicine. Died over ninety. Also mentions seeing Wu Si'an's postscript, verifying in *Yuan History* that there is no biography, and Wu Si'an's collection lacks the postscript. Likely, he belonged to the group despising fame and pursuing high ideals, accidentally omitted from official histories and family collections. He authored several books; this is just one. He was also skilled in painting; the *Mount Yu Picture* owned by the Qian family was hand-written by him, depicting hermitage scenes like firewood gates, stoves, and medicinal fences, known through his poetry. Nobleman Dongnie loved medicine and filial piety, gave me this book knowing I had an elderly mother. Now wishing to print it to spread, extending his heart to all. Gentlemen of health preservation, reading it occasionally, will gain insight without needing the realization of hiding knives and raising sheep. It is already half-understood. First auspicious day of the sixth month, summer of Xinwei, Zhengde, Scholar Yang Yi of Jian'an read and postscripted.
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Taiding Yangsheng Zhu Lun*, 16 volumes, traditionally attributed to Dongxuzi Wang Zhongyang of Yuan Dynasty. The book discusses marriage, pregnancy, old age, children, Yin-Yang Qi movement, and proper regulation, excerpting prescriptions for adjustment. Named after *Zhuangzi*'s "When the dwelling is peaceful and stable, heavenly light emanates" and *Yangsheng Zhu Lun*. Contains Zhongyang's self-preface and Duan Tian's preface from Wuyin year of Zhixun. Probably republished by Mao Luan, Vice Minister of War, during Zhengde. Followed by Yang Yi's postscript, citing Wu Kuan's collection, stating Zhongyang was from Wu, named [missing], courtesy name Junzhang, styled Zhongyang Laoren, lived in prosperous Yuan, left office at forty to retire under Mount Yu, admired alchemy, and was proficient in medicine.
[Satumisu Ruizhutang Jingyan Fang] *Guoshi Jingji Zhi*, 15 volumes. Extant.
Wang Duzhong's preface states: Previously, I recited Fan Zhongyan's words on being a good minister and a good doctor, always bowing in admiration. Why? A good minister assists the sovereign, governs state affairs, promotes benefits, removes harms, selects the worthy, and enables people to enjoy their work. His benevolence manifested in actions benefits the four seas. A good doctor guides patients with pulse diagnosis, treats with evidence, revives the dying, nourishes primal Qi, and opens the realm of longevity, enabling people to live peacefully. His benevolence stored in his heart also benefits the masses. Though paths of entry and withdrawal differ, the intention of a gentleman is one. One must not forget benevolence for a moment, then benevolence in the world becomes inexhaustible. Qianzhai Lord Sa shared Fan's ambition and studied his learning. Initially serving as a censor riding a horse with embroidered robes, his authority terrified corrupt officials, securing the people. Rising from the Censorate to the Secretariat, he maintained this heart and deepened the people's trust. Now guarding Jianchang, he will test the achievements of Gong and Huang, aiming to emulate Yao and Song as great ministers. Oh, how noble! Still feeling incomplete, he retired to review famous physicians' texts and collected experienced prescriptions during his travels, categorizing them into fifteen volumes, printed at the local academy, titled *Ruizhutang Jingyan Fang*, to pass down for ten thousand generations. Such benevolence is supreme. I am honored by his trust, asked to write the preface, so readers know his heart is better than a doctor's, and his ambition is better than a minister's. Ministers flow from benevolence, do they not? On the fifteenth day of the ninth month, Bingyin year of Taiding, Wang Duzhong of Minzhong wrote the preface.
Cheng Wenhai's poem *Sa Demishi Qianzhai Yushi Ruizhu Shi* states: Where the Jiangnan Censor plays the zither, inserting bamboo as support, bamboo forms naturally. Seeing young clusters growing along nodes, one suspects neighbor shoots crossing the wall. Clear shade beloved more than sweet elm, upright air first honors embroidered robes. Looking back at the old pavilion under Jing Terrace, high branches should have phoenixes singing. (Collected Works)
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Ruizhutang Jingyan Fang*, 5 volumes, written by Satumisu (originally Salimibao, corrected) of Yuan Dynasty. Satumisu is not in the *Yuan History*; his deeds are unrecorded. Cross-referencing Wu Cheng and Wang Duzhong's prefaces, his courtesy name was Qianzhai. He served as a censor and was sent out as Prefect of Jianchang. This book was compiled during his tenure. Originally 15 volumes, recorded in Yang Shiqi et al.'s *Wenyuan Ge Mulu* as one set, one volume, and listed in Chao Gongwu's *Baowen Tang Mulu*, indicating the original manuscript existed before mid-Ming. Later, copies became rare. Now, based on *Yongle Dadian*, collected and edited, about 60% is lost, but much remains. Carefully arranged into 24 categories, divided into 5 volumes. For example, the Tonification category avoids heavy mineral drugs, making prescriptions pure. The Eight Treasures Powder for gynecology combines Four Gentlemen Decoction and Four Substances Decoction, widely used. Xue Ji's medical cases detail this. The Huanyun Dan for dermatology is similar to modern Plum Blossom Pointing Tongue Pill and Duoming Dan. Neituo Qianjin San treats carbuncles effectively. All are useful for relief. However, Hezi Wan for pediatrics is similar in name and treatment to Hezi Wan in *Su Shen Liang Fang*. The latter uses Aconite, Cinnamon, Cyperus, Dry Ginger, Tangerine Peel, combining attack and tonification meticulously. This version uses Black Morning Glory Seed, Burreed Rhizome, Turmeric Rhizome, criticized for being too harsh. Jin-Yuan prescriptions often follow this pattern due to the robust constitution of Northern people differing from Southern practices. Treatment should adapt accordingly, not be bound by fixed rules.
[Zhang Shi (Daozhong) Gujin Tongbian Renshou Fang] Lost.
Wu Cheng's preface states: Medical prescriptions vary. Only those transmitted and tested prove effective. I most prefer Yan Shi's *Jisheng Fang* medicines, neither vague nor excessive, always effective. Yan learned from Liu; his formulas were tested daily. Zhang Daozhong of Huainan learned pulse diagnosis from Daoist Master Yongming Zhu. Zhu's teacher was Liu Kai; Liu's teacher was Cui Jiayan. For Shanghan (Cold Damage), he specialized in Li, following Li's intent. He collected herbs from various schools, categorized by syndrome, naming it *Gujin Tongbian Renshou Fang*. Observing the Stroke and Cold Damage sections, the medicines are precise and detailed compared to *Jisheng Fang*. This too comes from transmission and testing, not arbitrary. His learning from Cui and Liu was deep. Exploring origins reveals separate compilations beyond just prescriptions. (Collected Works)
[Xu Shi (Wenzhong) Jiajian Shisan Fang] 1 volume. Extant.
Xu Kezhao states: Xu Wenzhong, courtesy name Yonghe, from Xuanzhou. Inherited acupuncture and herbal techniques from his father-in-law since youth. Also skilled in talismans and spells, whipping dragons and binding ghosts, gaining fame in Hujian. Initially a county clerk, he resigned. Then served as Anlu Prefecture clerk, resigning again. Traveled to Wu. A wealthy man in Wu suffered from swollen wet legs. Xu treated him; after acupuncture, the disease vanished. When staying as a prefectural clerk, the Princess Zhenan lay ill, unable to sit up. Palace physicians could not cure her. Tuolu, Attendant Censor of Nantai, heard of Xu's fame and summoned him via relay station to Wu Commandery. The Prince received him with rites, granted him a seat in the side hall, described the Princess's suffering, and invited him to diagnose. The Prince asked, "Can the disease be cured?" Xu replied, "If I apply needles to the jade body and she does not recover, what use am I?" He asked the Princess to move her limbs. She declined, saying she couldn't. Xu requested to check her pulse, pressing Hegu and Quchi points, inserting needles simultaneously. The Princess felt nothing. Soon, he asked her to move as before. She declined again. Xu said, "The needle Qi has moved. Please raise your jade hand." The Princess raised it unconsciously. Asked to raise her foot, she did so. The Prince was greatly pleased. The next day, the Princess sat up. The Prince held a grand banquet, bestowed countless rewards. Fame shook Guangling; all believed Lu Bian had returned. (Baishi Jizhuan)
[Anonymous Jiabashi Ba Fang] *Guoshi Jingji Zhi*, 1 volume. Extent.
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Lingmi Shiba Fang Jiabian*, 1 volume, traditionally attributed to Hu Silian, Good Physician of Defu Liangyi Suo, for correction and compilation. Preceded by a preface by Kequanzi in the 17th year of Jiajing, claiming ignorance of the original compiler, implying Silian only edited, not authored. The book addresses the common use of Heji Bureau Formulas without understanding modifications. It details modification methods for eighteen formulas for convenience. However, disease mechanisms change infinitely with many similarities; merely modifying herbs based on symptoms is not necessarily the best approach, equating to sticking rigidly to bureau formulas. After the eighteen formulas, four additional formulas including Buzhong Yiqi Tang are appended, totaling twenty-two. Author unknown, possibly added by Silian.
