Imperial Preface by Emperor Taizong: I have heard that when emperors govern the world, they take comforting the people as their foundation. They emulate the covering and bearing of Heaven and Earth, just as the sun and moon shine upon all. They practice morality to harmonize joy and anger, cold and warmth, following the changes of seasons and knowing the principles of fullness and emptiness. Aligning with Heaven's will above and resonating with the people's sentiments below, sharing the burden of toil to fulfill human desires—this is my wish. Indeed, humans are endowed with the Five Constants, and medicine treats a hundred diseases. One who can discern whether a disease is treatable and investigate the reactions of medicines is a good physician in the world. As for labor from unregulated wind and rain, or disasters caused by unreasonable anger and joy, diseases arise from these, stemming from human emotions and desires. If one does not exhaustively explore the source of diseases and probe their mysteries, merely troubling oneself with food intake to nourish life, one can only preserve longevity through dietary regulation. From ancient times to the present, many have deviated from proper regimens and treatments. Diseases arise intermittently, accumulating from minute causes. When signs and symptoms already appear, seeking remedies through ingestion—if the prescription is poor, how can the medicine save? The *Book of Documents* states: "If the medicine does not cause dizziness and nausea, the serious illness will not be cured." This saying is truly correct. Moreover, the way of human peace involves meridians flowing like springs. If one indulges in temperament and violates bodily norms, unaware of damage until lifespan is shortened, it is due to the flourishing or withering of blood vessels, the strength or weakness of skin and flesh, greed for desires, and dysfunction of joints and organs. When debility sets in, failing to prevent other causes, and facing the reversal of the four seasons and the conflict of the six qi, the wise know themselves, while the foolish do not comprehend. Therefore, sages widely extend compassion, benevolence, and righteousness, with deep roots in universal love. Thus, Huangdi exhausted the teachings of Qibo, and the Duke of Guo trusted the art of Bian Que (Yueren). Those who measure understand pulse-taking; those who seek return explore the profound and mysterious. In discussion, the five tones harmonize naturally; in listening, the eight winds respond to the pitch pipes. Like echoes and shadows, nothing fails to follow. Seeking the subtle and discarding the complex, everything is prepared in books. Exploring essentials, explanations are comprehensive; summarizing brief compilations, exploring the obscure is thoroughly understood and perfect. Nothing is not examined for secrets, nothing is not searched for hidden details. Great indeed! How far learning can reach. Thus we know that Heaven does not withhold its Dao, but the Dao resides within it; Earth does not withhold its treasures, but treasures are contained within. Physicians rely on intention. Diseases arise internally, and medicines regulate externally. If the physician understands the principles, the efficacy of medicine is like spirit. Drawing analogies, referring to changes, the subtle path lies in careful deliberation. Stubborn and mediocre physicians find syndromes difficult to comprehend. I formerly, while in my private residence, collected famous formulas, strange techniques, and profound acupuncture methods, grasping their essentials. I gathered over a thousand excellent formulas, all personally verified, with clear standards. The value lies in saving the people and removing suffering. These were distributed to the Hanlin Medical Bureau, where each took family-prescribed effective formulas, totaling over ten thousand. I ordered Wang Huaiyin, Imperial Physician Attendant, and three others to collate and compile them. All discussions on syndromes are included therein. The efficacy of drugs is fully recorded. When diagnosing the depth of diseases, first differentiate deficiency and excess, then observe exterior and interior. Then, prescribing according to the formula, there is no cure that fails. May this ensure the vastness of Heaven and Earth, manifesting the transformation of the Kingly Way. As spring goes and autumn comes, distributing great benefits to the common people. In ancient times, Shennong the Flame Emperor grew up by the Jiang River, teaching people to sow crops to spare lives. He tasted herbs, distinguishing their properties, saving lives from premature death and injury, extending the lives of the old and sick. The common people used them daily without knowing the supreme virtue of the sages. The difficulty of the medical art was even lamented by past sages. Suppose one reads but cannot understand, understands but cannot distinguish, distinguishes but cannot clarify, clarifies but cannot exhaust. Who can exhaust this Dao? Surely the diligent and wise. I, residing nobly above the myriad people, always keep the people in mind. Worrying that the Five Qi may deviate, fearing that one thing may lose its place. Not exhausting the principles of life, I deeply pity this. Therefore, I personally reviewed medical texts, ordering their compilation. I hope that under the vast sky, everyone may preserve long life, joining our people in reaching the city of longevity. Now compiled into one hundred volumes, named *Taiping Shenghui Fang*. I order woodblocks to be carved and printed, distributed throughout China and barbarian lands. All living beings should know my intent.
Biography in *History of Song*: Wang Huaiyin was from Suiyang, Songzhou. Initially a Daoist priest, he resided at Jianlong Temple in the capital. He was skilled in medical diagnosis. When Emperor Taizong was Prince of Kaifeng, Huaiyin served him with decoctions. In the early years of Taiping Xingguo, an edict ordered him to return to secular life and appointed him Imperial Physician Attendant. After three promotions, he became Director of the Hanlin Medical Bureau. In the third year, Wu Yue sent his son Weijun to pay tribute. Weijun fell ill, and an edict ordered Huaiyin to treat him. Previously, when Taizong was in his fief, he paid much attention to medical arts in his leisure time, collecting over a thousand famous formulas, all of which had been verified. At this time, an edict ordered the Hanlin Medical Bureau to submit family-prescribed empirical formulas, totaling over ten thousand. Huaiyin was ordered to collaborate with Vice-Director Wang Yi, Zheng Qi, and Physician Chen Zhaoyu to collate and compile them. Each section was headed by Chao Yuanfang’s *General Treatise on Pathogenesis and Syndrome Differentiation* from the Sui Dynasty, followed by formulas and medicines. The work consisted of one hundred volumes. Emperor Taizong wrote an imperial preface and bestowed the name *Taiping Shenghui Fang*. He ordered the blocks to be carved and distributed throughout the empire. Each prefecture was to appoint a Medical Doctor to manage it. Wang Huaiyin died several years later.
Zhao Xibian stated: *Taiping Shenghui Fang*, one hundred volumes. When Emperor Taizong was in his private residence, he accumulated many famous formulas and strange techniques. During the Taiping Xingguo era, over a thousand personally verified formulas were issued from the inner court. An edict was issued to the medical bureau to submit family-prescribed books. Wang Huaiyin, Wang Yi, Zheng Yan, and Chen Zhaoyu were ordered to correct and compile them. Each section began with the disease syndromes. The book was completed in the early Chunhua era, with an imperial preface.
Chen Zhen Sun stated: *Taiping Shenghui Fang*, one hundred volumes. In the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo, an edict ordered physicians, specifically Imperial Physician Attendant Wang Huaiyin and others, to compile it. With an imperial preface. The book was completed in the third year of Chunhua.
Wang Yinglin stated: Emperor Taizong paid attention to medical arts. Since his private residence, he obtained over a thousand excellent formulas. In the third year of Taiping Xingguo, an edict ordered the Medical Bureau to submit empirical formulas, totaling over ten thousand. Compiled into *Taiping Shenghui Fang*, one hundred volumes. It contained 1,670 categories and 16,834 formulas, along with prefaces, discussions, and a general directory. Each section was headed by Chao Yuanfang’s *General Treatise on Pathogenesis and Syndrome Differentiation*. All discussions on syndromes and evaluations of drug efficacy were recorded. The directory was one volume. Imperial preface. On Guiwei day of the second month in the third year of Chunhua, it was presented to Chancellor Li Fang, Assistant Grand Councilor Li Hang, and Privy Councillers Zhongshu and Zhun. On Jihai day of the fifth month, it was promulgated throughout the empire. Each prefecture was to appoint a Medical Doctor to manage it.

Postscript by Cai Xiang: Life is the virtue of Heaven and Earth. Achievement is the enterprise of sages. Transforming and circulating things, following without omission. The principle of life is ultimate. Tracing the origin to initiate treatment, ensuring stability and order. The way of achievement becomes clear. Thus, creating the great benefits for the world—is this not the task of sages? Legends state that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and the Yellow Emperor recorded the *Neijing* to eliminate people's diseases. Their art could bring the dead back to life and extend the lifespan of the prematurely deceased. Speaking of merit, although great, Yu the Great dredged the floodwaters and drove away dragons and snakes; Tang and Wu used weapons to quell chaos. These merely saved disasters temporarily. How can they compare to endless reliance? Thus it is said: Creating the great benefits for the world is the task of sages. Song received the Mandate of Heaven, rescuing the people of the Nine Provinces from fire and cauldrons, blowing and washing them. Emperor Taizong pacified the universe, extending coverage to its widest extent. He frequently provided breath and greatly revived them. Thus, officials were established, and rewards of gold and silk were offered to collect famous formulas from ancient and modern times, along with methods of drug and stone needle diagnosis. State physicians arranged and classified them into one hundred volumes, titled *Taiping Shenghui Fang*. An edict promulgated it to prefectures and commanderies, transmitting it to officials and people. However, prefectures and commanderies receiving it mostly strictly managed keys and carefully dried and cooled it. Officials and people could not benefit from it. In Fujian customs, medicine is secondary to shamanism. Sick families rely on shamans causing spirits, passing doctors' doors rarely, only two or three out of ten. Thus, the transmission of medicine decreased further. In the second year of my governance of the prefecture, I discussed recording the previously granted books to show to the public. He Xipeng, a citizen of the commandery, was proficient in the art of prescriptions. Regarding *Shenghui Fang*, he sought exotic, rare, bizarre, and hard-to-obtain items, as well as chapters on metals, stones, herbs, and trees for immortality. He selected those convenient for the people, obtaining 6,960 formulas. Xipeng was cautious (old note: avoided the current emperor's name) and trusted by the neighborhood. He took his copy, transcribed it onto blocks, and displayed it around the yamen gates. This was to express the infinite grace of the Sage Emperor, penetrating down to the lower levels. It also enlightened people about the fallacy of relying on shamans, guiding them back to the constant way. This is also an important duty of a prefect. On December 8th, the sixth year of Qingli, Right Remonstrator and Direct Historian, Prefect of Junzhou, Cai [Xiang], wrote the postscript. (From *Collected Works*)

In the early Song Dynasty, he served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice, eventually becoming Waiyuanlang of the Water Department. He governed Xunyi County and died at seventy. Huangzhong was smart and aware from childhood. At five years old, his father made him stand upright every morning, comparing the height of an open book scroll to him, calling it "books equal to one's height," and supervised his reading. At six, he passed the Tongzi Ke (Child Scholar Examination). At seven, he could write essays, composing poetry on various topics. His father often made him eat vegetables, saying, "Wait until your studies are complete before eating meat." At fifteen, he passed the Jinshi examination.

In the third year of Jianlong, he was promoted to Yishi (Censor). He served successively as Zuobuque. In the eighth year of Kaibao, he acted as Judge of Dingzhou and Presiding Official of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices. After Lingnan was pacified, Jia Huangzhong was appointed Investigating Commissioner. He was honest, upright, peaceful, and lenient, and distant peoples found him favorable. Upon returning, he reported dozens of matters of advantage and disadvantage, all conforming to the imperial will. Coinciding with the conquest of Jiangbiao, he was selected as Governor of Xuanzhou. When Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he was promoted to Waiyuanlang of the Ministry of Rites. In the second year of Taiping Xingguo, he governed Shenzhou. He suffered his father's mourning and resumed duties after the period. In the fifth year, he was recalled to the capital. Someone recommended Huangzhong for high literary rank. He was summoned for a test at the Secretariat, appointed Waiyuanlang of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhigazhao (Compiler of Edicts). In the eighth year, together with Song Bai and Lu Mengzheng, he co-managed the Imperial Examinations. He was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel and served as Hanlin Academician. In the second year of Yongxi, he again managed the Imperial Examinations. Soon after, he managed the selection of officials in the Ministry of Personnel. In the early Duan Gong era, he was added the title She Ren of the Secretariat. In the second year, he concurrently served as Compiler at the History Academy. In the autumn of the second year of Chunhua, he and Li Hang were simultaneously appointed Geshizhong and Canzhi Zhengshi (Assistant Grand Councilor). In the winter of the fourth year, he and Li Hang were both dismissed. He retained his original office. The next year, he governed Xiangzhou. He memorialized that his mother was old and requested to stay in the capital. He was transferred to Chanzhou. In the early Zhidao era, he fell ill. An edict ordered him to return to the capital. He was specially appointed Viceroy of the Ministry of Rites. Upon the arrival of his successor, he concurrently served as Director of the Secret Library. Huangzhong had always loved literary works. Having entered the inner cabinet, he was greatly comforted. In the second year, he died of illness at the age of fifty-six.

[Chen Shi (Yaosou) Jiyan Fang] (Collected Verified Formulas by Chen [Yaosou]) One volume, lost.
Biography in *History of Song*: Chen Yaosou, courtesy name Tangfu. His first official appointment was as Cheng of the Court of Imperial Entertainments and Direct Historian. He was granted the purple fish bag on the same day as Song Shou. He was promoted to Cheng of the Secretariat. After a long time, he served as Pan Guan of the Henan Dong Circuit of the Three Finance Commissions. At that time, the people of Song, Bo, and Chen were starving.

He served as Transport Commissioner of Guangnan West Circuit. In Lingnan customs, the sick prayed to gods instead of taking medicine.

He passed the Jinshi examination. He was appointed to try for Xiao Shulang of the Secretariat. He governed Ningguo County. He was transferred to Fuqing Ling. The county had a Stone Pond Reservoir, which had been silted up for years. He recruited people to dredge and build it, irrigating over a hundred qing of abandoned fields. The townspeople built a living shrine for him. He was transferred to Suizhou Tui Guan. Upon audience and response, Emperor Zhenzong said: "Jian has held official posts without fault, yet no one has recommended him. He must be tranquil in seeking advancement." He was specially changed to Assistant Director of the Secretariat. He governed Fenyi County. He was transferred to govern Douzhou. A county clerk died, leaving a young son. The widowed son-in-law forged a deed to usurp the assets. When the son grew up, he sued repeatedly without justice. The case was referred to the court. Lang Jian was ordered to investigate and punish. Lang Jian showed him old documents, saying: "Is this your father's letter?" The son replied: "Yes." Lang Jian then showed him the forged deed, which did not match. The son finally confessed. Lang Jian was transferred to Tengzhou. He established schools and nurtured scholars, changing local customs. Tengzhou began to have Jinshi candidates from then on. He served as Tongpan of Haizhou. He was Diancha Xingyu Guan of Lizhou Road. He was dismissed and governed Quanzhou.

[Qian Shi (Weiyan) Qiezhong Fang] (Formulas in the Chest Box by Qian [Weiyan]. Old edition lacked the author's name.) Recorded in *Song History Bibliography* as one volume, lost.
Peng Cheng stated: Duke Wenxi of the Qian family collected *Qiezhong Fang*. The note on Suhexiang Wan says: This medicine originally came from the Forbidden Palace. During the Xiangfu era, it was once granted to close ministers. (From *Mo Ke Hui Xi*)
[Wang Shi (Gun) Boji Fang] (Universal Relief Formulas by Wang [Gun]) Recorded in *Song History Bibliography* as three volumes (*Dushu Houzhi* lists five volumes). Not seen.
Chao Gongwu stated: *Wangshi Boji Fang*, three volumes. Written by Wang Gun of Taiyuan in the current dynasty. During the Qingli era, while serving in Huatai, he leisurely took out over seventy family-prescribed formulas, selecting the best for this book. Famous physicians said: His formulas were all effective when used. For example, Caohuan Dan treated severe wind disease, and Taiyi Dan treated ghost pregnancy, especially miraculous. (From *Wenhian Tongkao* ○ Note: Currently lost in *Dushu Zhi*)
Chen Zhen Sun stated: *Wangshi Boji Fang*, three volumes. Written by Wang Gun of Taiyuan. Preface dated the seventh year of Qingli.
Siku Quanshu Summary: *Boji Fang*, five volumes. Written by Wang Gun of the Song Dynasty. Wang Gun was from Taiyuan. His official career is unknown. Only the original preface by Lang Jian mentions that he once served as the Wine Official of Qiantang. This book is recorded in various bibliographies. Only *Song History Bibliography* and Chen Zhen Sun's *Shulu Tiejie* list it as three volumes. Chao Gongwu's *Dushu Zhi* lists it as five volumes. There is a slight difference. Perhaps the characters 'three' and 'five' look similar, and a scribal error occurred. Gongwu also stated that Wang Gun, during the Qingli era, while serving in Huatai, leisurely took out over seventy family-prescribed formulas, selecting the best for this book. Famous physicians said: His formulas were all effective when used. For example, Caohuan Dan treated severe wind disease, and Taiyi Dan treated ghost pregnancy, especially miraculous. Now, examining Wang Gun's own preface, he stated: "Previously, accompanying my father to his post in Huatai, I fell ill on the way. I encountered a mediocre doctor who mistakenly administered decoctions, and my illness did not heal." Based on this, the one serving in Huatai was Wang Gun's father, whereas Gongwu attributed it to Wang Gun, which is a significant oversight. Wang Gun also stated: "I extensively collected secret formulas for over twenty years, obtaining over seven thousand formula discussions. I selected the most essential ones, resulting in over five hundred." Yet Gongwu claimed: "Family collection of over seventy formulas," which is another scribal error. The original book has been lost for a long time. Only excerpts remain in *Yongle Dadian*. Compiling and arranging them, I obtained over three hundred and fifty formulas. Compared to the five hundred mentioned in Wang Gun's preface, about seventy percent remains. I carefully divided them into thirty-five categories, arranged them sequentially, and based on *Dushu Zhi*, organized them into five volumes. The formulas and medicines herein are largely not found in other books. Although not all are applicable today, they actually had miraculous effects at the time, sufficient to assist physicians in drawing analogies. However, they tend to favor the bizarre, often mixing in alchemical sayings. For example, discussing the ingestion of apricot kernels, it claims: "Peng Zu, Xia Ji, and the Four Whiteheads of Mount Shang refined apricot kernels into pills. Wang Zijin ingested them for forty years and flew into the sky. Ding Lingwei ingested them for twenty years and his body flew." Such claims are absurd and unbelievable. Therefore, I have appended various ingestion methods to the end of the volume to expose their fallacies, enabling readers to know what to select.
[Qingli Shanjiu Fang] (Good Rescue Formulas of Qingli) Recorded in *Song History Bibliography* as one volume, lost.
Postscript by Wang Anshi: Mencius said: "The former kings had a heart that could not bear the suffering of others; thus they had policies that could not bear the suffering of others." I, your subject, respectfully read *Shanjiu Fang* and secretly sighed: This can be called a policy of not bearing suffering. The ruler issues commands; the minister implements them to benefit the people. If ruler and minister do not neglect their duties, the world enjoys governance. In the current times, there is certainly a ruler. The virtue of nurturing reaches the four seas. Even for incurable diseases among barbarians and remote peoples, everyone wishes to save and preserve them. Although we subjects are humble, we are truly commissioned to govern the people. If we do not promote Your Majesty's grace to the people, we fear offending the world and having no excuse from punishment. I respectfully carve this on stone, placing it on the left outside the county gate, so that those who come to view may benefit themselves, without seeking help from officials. Preface dated February 28th, first year of Huangyou. (From *Linchuan Collected Works*)
Wang Yinglin stated: On Guiyou day of the second month in the eighth year of Qingli, because people in the south suffering from pestilential viruses lacked formulas and medicines, *Shanjiu Fang* was promulgated.
Ma Duanlin stated: *Qingli Shanjiu Fang*, one volume. The *Yiwen Zhi* of two dynasties states: An edict ordered the recording of the formula of Lin Shiyuan, a physician from the prison in Fuzhou, whose medicine cured gu poison, saving people. The formula was recorded, ordered to be compiled and supplemented by state physicians, and promulgated in the eighth year.
