Chen Zhensun states: *Zhinnan Fang*, 3 volumes. Written by Shi Zaizhi, a native of Shu. Contains thirty-one categories, each with its own discussion. Wang Qiu states: Shi Zaizhi's *Zhinnan Fang* has printing blocks at the public treasury of Yanzhou. (From *Baiyi Xuanfang*)
Lu Yinglong states: Zhu Shigu was from Meizhou. At age thirty, he fell ill and could not eat; smelling meat or fish caused vomiting. He used a heated iron pan to boil water, poured it over plain rice, and ate it repeatedly. Physicians did not know how to treat him. Shi Zaizhi said, "Common people who do not read medical classics but rashly attempt to treat others are lamentable. Your illness is described in the *Suwen*: it is called 'Food Hanging' (Shi Gua). The human lung has six lobes, expanding like an umbrella cover, lying below over the spleen. If the mother-son qi harmonizes, one can eat; if there is any discord, the lung cannot expand, and the spleen is blocked, hence loss of appetite. The *Suwen* says, 'The lung lobes are scorched and hot.' Thus, he prescribed a formula. After buying and taking the medicine, after three days, he smelled others eating meat and found it fragrant; he took some and ate it, and was cured. (From *Xianchuang Kuoyi Zhi*)
Shi Yanzhi states: Cai Yuanchang suffered from severe constipation of the large intestine; physicians could not unblock it. This was likely because Cai Yuanchang refused to take drugs like Dahuang (Rhubarb Rhizome et Radix). At that time, Shi Zaizhi was unknown. He went to visit him. The gatekeeper obstructed him, and after a long while, he was allowed to see him. After taking the pulse, Shi Zaizhi wished to show his skill, saying, "I request twenty coins." Yuanchang asked, "Why?" Shi replied, "To buy Ziwan (Aster Root)." Shi then bought twenty wen worth of Ziwan, powdered it, and administered it. Shortly after, bowel movement occurred. Yuanchang was greatly surprised and asked for the explanation. Shi said, "The large intestine is the transmission organ of the lung. The current constipation has no other cause than turbid lung qi. Ziwan clears lung qi; this is why it works. This is unheard of in ancient and modern times, though I do not know what decoction to use for administration." (From *Beichuang Zhigelo Lu*)

Chen Zhensun states: *Jifeng Beiji Fang*, 1 volume. Written by Zhang Rui, Professor of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Preface dated the third year of Shaoxing. Mostly consists of single-herb prescriptions.
Liu Fang states: *Jifeng Beiji*, compiled by Zhang Rui, a physician from Shu. Zhang Rui, courtesy name Zigang.
Zhang Gao states: My great-uncle, Zhang [Name Omitted due to Emperor Ningzong's taboo], courtesy name Zichong, was from Shexian. His family was wealthy and influential in the locality. A clan member was famous for medicine, so he paid attention to it. Later, he heard that Pang Anuchang, a Daoist from Qishui, was famous for medicine in the Huaidian region, and went to study with him. One day, a beggar knocked on the door, claiming to suffer from wind-cold. Master Pang told him to administer medicine. The beggar asked what decoction to use. Master Pang saw him holding a tattered fan and pointed to it, telling him to decoct it and mix it with the medicine he was taking. My great-uncle initially did not understand his meaning, then asked, "Is it not what the *Bencao* says: a tattered fan can induce sweating?" Master Pang said, "Yes." My great-uncle returned home and sighed, saying, "Master Pang is skilled in using herbs. I heard there is a Mr. Wang Pu in Sichuan; his pulse diagnosis not only knows diseases but also possesses the subtlety of Taisu, able to predict life, death, fortune, and misfortune before signs appear. I followed him for years and mastered his skills. Then I left and returned. Previously, in Nanling County, Xuanchou, there was a rich man with only one son and wealth worth ten thousand. He suddenly contracted a cold disease. It seemed incurable, yet breath remained; it seemed curable, yet he was unconscious. They summoned my great-uncle to treat him. He smiled and said, 'I have exactly this medicine. However, this patient will recover consciousness in three days. When awake, he will desire water; give him this medicine. After taking it, he will sleep deeply. Do not disturb him. When he wakes, he will sweat and be safe.' The rich man followed his advice, and his son's illness was indeed cured. The magistrate of Nanling County's wife also suffered from a cold disease. Physicians stood around, helpless. My great-uncle took medicine from his bag; she took it and got up immediately. Following his advice, she was also safe. Alas, my great-uncle was famous during the Chongning and Daguan eras but lived only forty-nine years. He died in Nanchang. On that day, in the morning, he told the prefect, 'My major affair is today at noon. My funeral matters must trouble you.' The prefect said, 'It won't come to that.' My great-uncle said, 'I diagnosed the pulse; blood has entered the heart.' He sent someone to wait, and indeed he died as predicted. Zhang Jiming recorded these events of his great-uncle Zichong himself.
[Song Shi (Daofang) *Quansheng Ji*] Lost.
Liu Fang states: *Quansheng Ji*, written by Song Daofang. Song Daofang, courtesy name Yishu, was from Gongzhou.
Wang Mingqing states: Song Daofang, courtesy name Yishu, was famous for medicine throughout the world. He resided in Nanjing but refused invitations. Patients had to be carried to seek his pulse. In the early Zhenghe era, Tian Deng was the governor. His mother was critically ill, and he would not go. Deng was angry and said, "If my mother dies, I will also resign due to grief. Killing this man results only in reprimand." So he sent men to arrest him in the courtyard, scolding him, "If she is not cured within three days, I will execute you to appease the crowd." Yishu said, "Allow me to diagnose her." Afterwards, he said, "She can still live." He prescribed a Dan agent, and she recovered. Tian Deng was very pleased, saying, "I humiliated you in a moment, but how can I not wipe away this shame?" He used the governor's carriage, accompanied by musicians and dancers, rewarded him with a thousand strings of cash, and had soldiers carry him back home. Ten days later, Tian's mother's illness relapsed. When called, the whole family fled. Tian's mother then died. Her illness had previously reached the Gaohuang (deep-seated) stage; Song merely used good medicine to delay her death. (From *Huiyu Yuhua*)
[*Huizong Shengji Jing*] Recorded in Song dynasty catalogs, 10 volumes. Lost.
Imperial Preface states: Yin and Yang constitute the Dao; deviation into excess Yin or Yang constitutes disease. Without understanding the Dao, one cannot cure others' diseases. Yin and Yang illuminate each other, cover each other, and govern each other. The four seasons replace each other, generating and destroying each other. The Five Elements reign in turn, alternating between existence and extinction. Humans exist within this framework, governed by Yin and Yang, returning to the four seasons, and controlled by the Five Elements. Balance brings fortune; excess brings disaster; excess leads to disease. Only that which cannot be captured by numbers stands alone above all forms; only that which cannot be controlled by objects circulates within all existences. To govern time with the Dao and use numbers with the Spirit, preserving the form and restoring the spirit, becoming one with Heaven. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor embodied the Spirit and understood the Dao. He asked Guangchengzi about the Dao and saw the Great Block at Juzi Mountain, while personally attending to affairs in the Palace of Laws. He hung robes and made script, created the Sexagenary Cycle, established music and calendars, thereby completing Heaven's work. Although Feng Hou and Li Mu often preceded Taihong, busy implementing orders and completing teachings, they could not reach his level. Yet he sighed at the decline of virtuous conduct and pitied the scattering of the people's simplicity. Above, they violated the brightness of the sun and moon; below, they melted the essence of mountains and rivers; in the middle, they ruined the distribution of the four seasons. Thus, chasing illusions and wasting truth, they did not complete their natural lifespan but died prematurely. He consulted Qibo and composed the *Neijing* (Inner Canon), communicating the virtue of spirits and categorizing the emotions of all things. Its words stand in relation to the Classics (Dianfen), but the world did not receive its transmission. Until the stream of those calling themselves physicians became no different from those treating the *Yijing* as divination. I deeply mourn this. Since inheriting the throne, I have been diligent and cautious, daring not to rest day or night. Amidst myriad state affairs, I sought and visited, striving to emulate the ancients, exploring the profundity of heaven and humanity, tracing the principle of life and nature, clarifying the clarity and turbidity of Ying and Wei, investigating the prosperity and decline of seven and eight, distinguishing reversal and順 (smoothness), reflecting on fullness and emptiness. I wrote ten chapters, totaling forty-two sections, naming it *Shengji Jing*. Let the superior scholars hear it, their minds aligning with the Dao; let the average scholars examine it, moving from superficiality to substance. It can nourish life and establish destiny, raising the people of the world to the city of benevolence and longevity. Thus spreading the transmission of the Yellow Emperor, is it not beautiful? Alas! Excess Yin causes cold diseases; excess Yang causes heat diseases; excess Wind causes extremity diseases; excess Rain causes abdominal diseases. Pathogens of Yin and Yang damage the body externally, as seen in such cases. Emotional injury from sorrow and grief leads to limb paralysis; Soul injury from excessive sadness leads to tendon contraction; Corporeal injury from excessive joy leads to dry skin; Will injury from anger leads to inability to bend or straighten. Sensations of emotion internally damage true Qi, as seen in such cases. Accumulated deficiency becomes Damage; accumulated Damage becomes Decline. Illnesses are mostly hidden in subtle details and manifest where people neglect them. Benefits stop in small ditches, while losses occur at the Weilu (tailgate/origin of loss). Beware and be cautious! Once disease forms and then medication is used, even a divine physician cannot help. As for promoting the Dao and arts, assisting righteousness and removing evil, establishing schools and offices, gathering scholars for education and support, rescuing the helpless from suffering, and recording their deaths—these are promulgated as government decrees and recorded in relevant departments, so I will not elaborate further.
Zhao Xibian states: The Imperial *Shengji Jing*, 10 volumes, was composed by Emperor Huizong. On May 11th of the 8th year of Zhenghe, an edict was issued to distribute it to schools throughout the realm. On September 24th, Li Bangyan, Grand Director of Studies, and others reported: "Previously, at the request of attending officials, we ordered internal and external schools to test students using questions from the *Shengji Jing*. We respectfully suggest that since the *Neijing* and *Daodejing* already follow the professors' explanations, we request the *Shengji Jing* be included for joint study with the two classics." The court agreed.
Wang Yinglin states: *Shengji Jing*, 10 volumes, Imperial composition and preface during Zhenghe. Chapters: Tizhen, Yuanhua, Ciqie, Dadao, Zhengji, Shiyi, Shouji, Weisheng, Yaoli, Shenji, totaling ten chapters. Yin and Yang in balance, spirit preserved internally. Total forty-two sections. Another version states: On Renchen day of the fifth month in the 8th year of Zhenghe, the Imperial *Shengji Jing* was distributed to broaden the transmission of the Yellow Emperor. Fifty chapters, forty-two sections.

Imperial Cabinet Catalog states: *Shengji Jing Jieyi*, one volume. Authored by Song Huizong, interpreted by Wu Shi, a Grand Student.
Lv Fu states: *Shengji Jing*, 10 volumes, composed by Emperor Huizong of Song. Generally following the *Neijing* and *Suwen*, citing the Six Channels, and incorporating Laozi's words to open up the legacy of Xuanyuan and Qibo. During Zhenghe, this classic was distributed to the Two Academies, and student Wu Shi provided commentary. Chapters like Dadao and Zhengji are sufficient to aid governance and inspire practitioners. Others, such as Yunyuan, Liben, Zizi, Mingwu, etc., explain character meanings, falling into forced interpretation, largely due to failing to examine the Six Scripts. Flaws and virtues coexist, which does not harm the beauty of jade.

Imperial Preface states: Life is the great virtue of Heaven and Earth; disease is the great affliction of living beings. Medical arts are the great method for treating disease. In ancient times, Shennong and the Yellow Emperor observed Taichu alone and illuminated Miaoyou broadly. They tasted hundred herbs to distinguish substances and examined hundred diseases to preserve life. They established names, selected categories, regulated Sovereign and Minister roles, and set up Assistants and Enablers. These are seen in the books of Taisu and Jade Tablets, among Leigong and Qibo, opening the mysteries of spirits, exhausting the changes of Yin and Yang, tracing the principles of life and nature, sharing the covering and bearing of Heaven and Earth. Since the middle antiquity, carved on jade plates, stored in golden caskets. Benefits extended to plants and trees, grace covered cattle and horses, leaving deep favor for future generations. As years passed, abuses grew severe. Dregs remained, but profound intent was not transmitted. The *Neijing* lists disease names without investigation, treatment methods without practice. Its wonders, reaching immortality, were not understood. Human life, positioned alongside Heaven and Earth, spiritual and precious among all things. Form less than seven chi, yet mind equals creation. Kunlun (head), cultivated for longevity; Cun Tian (heart), reflected upon in leisure; Tian Guan Shen Lu (respiration), regulated to summon harmony and remove turbidity. Talismans and golden registers, alchemy and grain avoidance, riding Qi and transcending void, requiring no external objects, yet abundantly self-sufficient. Alas! Enlightened ones can achieve spiritual understanding; the ignorant cannot even nurture their form, let alone comprehend their mind. Internally, the five zang and six fu organs; externally, the nine orifices and four gates. Manifested in color, emitted in voice, lodged in the Three Regions and Nine Pulses. Once balance is lost, disease follows immediately. The Divine treats before signs appear; the Skillful saves after it happens. Who but the most exquisite in the world can probe the most profound? Who but the most coarse in the world can... (text seems incomplete here, inferred context) ...the most miraculous? I pity the stagnation of the Great Dao, the accumulated habits of vulgar customs, the chronic illnesses of the people, and the reckless actions of mediocre physicians. Learning is not precise and broad, insight is not enlightened. The numbers of the Five Elements, the transformations of the Six Qi, no one seeks their hidden aspects, no one estimates their distance. Saying cold or saying heat, cold and heat clashing, a difference of a hair's breadth results in a thousand miles of error. Adding to excess, reducing deficiency. Using methods arbitrarily, mixing herbs and minerals, half die prematurely. Sighing heavily. Amidst state affairs, I wrote forty-two chapters to elucidate the wonders of the *Neijing*, named *Wangji Jing*. Its intent is subtle, its purport far-reaching. What it says is based on reason, thus probing the world's profundity. I also commanded the world to submit medical formulas, along with those in the Imperial Treasury, to be published. Added Supplemental Volume 1, Treatment Methods Volume 1. Total 200 volumes, nearly 20,000 formulas. Categorized by disease, each category has a discussion and attached summary. Beginning with the changes of old diseases, ending with the ingestion of elixirs by immortals. Detailed regarding acupoints and meridians, Zhuyou talismans and spells, all fully prepared. Named *Zhenghe Shengji Zonglu*. The events recorded therein demonstrate the world's miracles. The sage's shocking acts are fundamentally high and terminally low. Without the high, the way of treatment is not established; without the low, the tools of treatment do not function. The Classics speak of the Dao; physicians who grasp it exhaust the spirit. The *Zonglu* records the tools; physicians who use them cure diseases. Zhang Zhongjing of Han wrote *Shanghan Lun* mixed with formulas; Sun Simiao of Tang wrote *Qianjin Fang* followed by *Yi*. Believing that without this, the world could not use their arts. However, these two individuals wandered within the arts. Those who transcend and see independently outside the arts, looking down on the lineage of Qibo and debating with them, can be said to know the Dao. I compose the *Zonglu* to urgently serve worldly needs and save people's suffering, merely as a tool for this Dao. Future generations should focus on forgetting the tool and attaining self-realization. In a glance, laughing at measures. Controlling the numbers of Five Elements, distancing from the transformations of Six Qi, assisting Heaven and Earth, nurturing all things. To restore Ying and Hun and revive the dying—is this a small matter? Surely there will be successors.
Preface by Jiao Yangzhi: I have heard that Heaven and Earth consider prolific generation as their great virtue, thus completing all things without omission. The Sage assists the transformation and nurturing of Heaven and Earth, thus gathering the Five Blessings to bestow upon the common people. People, as creatures, are few in wisdom and many in folly. Irregular daily routines, unregulated diet, external attack by cold, heat, dryness, dampness, and wind damaging the form; internal disturbance by joy, anger, worry, sorrow, and fear disrupting the Qi. Form and Qi are injured, and diseases arise. The Sage worried about this, believing Zhuyou could not completely eliminate ailments. Thus, he prepared medicinal stones, needles, and moxa to attack the evils of Eight Winds and Six Qi. Made decoctions and fermented wines to assist the correctness of Four Seasons and Five Elements. Preventing the未然 (not-yet), saving the 已然 (already). Then each thing achieves its life, and people do not lose their lives prematurely. He also believed that without establishing constitutional words, one cannot bless ten thousand generations. Thus, modeling Heaven above, adapting to Earth below. Investigating the root of Yin and Yang, clarifying the cause of life and death. Examining the past and verifying the present. Taking from oneself and applying to others. Definitively forming a book, carving on jade plates, storing in golden caskets. Proclaimed in the Hall of Administration, kept secret in the Chamber of Spiritual Orchids. To match future philosophers, to apply infinitely. This heart of benevolence towards people and love for things can be considered ultimate. However, its words are extremely simple, its arguments extremely essential, its principles extremely profound. Later learners, even with superior intelligence, if not studying meticulously and thinking carefully, will not see its depths. Thus, in vast ages, those who make a name with this art exist occasionally. But regarding Divine, Sacred, Work, and Skillful, uniquely possessing secrets not transmitted from ancestors, like Huan Yuan and Bian Que, there are only more than ten people. Moreover, since the Sages are far away, branches split and sects divide, breaking into many disciplines, professions becoming specialties. Thus, people stick to their biases and refuse to investigate the whole, falling further behind the ancients. Accumulated habits become normal, abuses grow severe. Fearing the Great Dao will soon vanish, the *Shengji Zonglu* was thus created. Up and down, over 200 volumes, beginning to end nearly 2 million words. Categorized by disease, each category has formulas. Based on classics to establish discussions, each discussion has a summary. Intending that readers observe discussions to find diseases, and use formulas to prescribe medicines. Then there will be no unrecognized diseases in the world, and no random medication for illnesses. Only whether the method is contrary or compliant, whether treatment is prior or subsequent, depends on the wise choosing what is appropriate and following what is suitable. Ultimately, it is indeed the compilation of medical classics, the guide for learners, and the master of life for the people. Pity that it was first completed in Zhenghe, reprinted in Dading. Having lasted a century, errors inevitably occurred. Now, our Sovereign rules heaven with divine power, refining systems, and all governance tools are displayed. Believing that although this book contains remnants of ancient sages, its role in healing the people is also an aid to good governance. Thus ordering the Jiangzhe Provincial Administration to print it in official departments and distribute it worldwide. Any errors shall be corrected. Further issuing a gracious decree, commanding me to write a preface. I am truly foolish and humble, daring not to overestimate myself. Looking up, your Sage Virtue is like Heaven, molding all kinds. Since ascending the throne, now seven years, grace penetrates flying and sinking, benevolence reaches plants and trees. Yet day and night diligently, widely seeking people's hardships. If even one thing is not in its proper place, one feels sorrowful. I believe that with the reappearance of this book, above it can assist the suitability of Heaven and Earth, below it can permanently secure the lives of the people. Things free from blight, all entering the realm of benevolence and longevity. Second month, fourth year of Dade. Jiao Yangzhi, Scholar of Collecting Worthies, Counselor, Supervisor of Dianrui,臣 (Subject), wrote the preface.
Note: My father said: This book is not recorded in the *Song Zhi* or various family catalogs. No Southern Song medical books cite it. Probably, this book was completed in the late years of Emperor Huizong. *Shengji...*
