[Dong Ji] *Xiao'er Banzhen Beiji Fanglun* (Recorded as *Xiao'er Banzhen Lun* in *Shulu Jieting*), one volume, extant.
Preface by the author states: In ancient times, affairs were simple and people were honest; they possessed complete and pure vital qi, so evil pathogens could not invade. Even if diseases occurred, they could be cured through Zhuyou (incantation therapy). Even treatises for adults were not yet complete. It was not until the middle antiquity that Wu Fangshi appeared, authoring the *Xiao'er Lixin Jing* (Classic of the Infant's Cranium) to divine longevity and distinguish life from death. Passed down through generations, this led to the rise of pediatric treatises. However, infants in swaddling clothes have tender and weak internal organs; their pulses are rapid (the character "Cu" may be erroneous) and difficult to differentiate; they do not know where they itch nor can they speak of pain, only crying. Conditions such as Bianzheng (metamorphosis and steaming), Jingfeng (convulsions), Kewu (alien influence), and Jielu (splitting of the fontanelle) were clarified by Chao Yuanfang in recent times. Yet regarding the symptoms before the eruption of macules and papules, which resemble Shangfeng (wind-cold injury), there was little differentiation, leading to many errors. Furthermore, physicians were not sufficiently cautious; some purged deficiency patterns and tonified excess patterns, induced sweating for rash cases, and applied warming methods for wind cases, thereby generating various diseases and leading to premature death. This is truly lamentable. I have now collected effective secret prescriptions, detailed the symptoms, and compiled them into one volume, titled *Banzhen Beiji Fang*. I dare not claim it benefits future generations, but hope it will be passed on to those interested in medicine, preserving the righteousness of nurturing children. Dong Ping Dong Ji (courtesy name Jizhi) wrote the preface.
Sun Zhun wrote: People in the world often obtain a miraculous prescription capable of completely curing diseases, yet they fearfully worry about keeping it secret lest others know and render the medicine ineffective. This is indeed shallow. Medicine's ability to cure disease should be shared with everyone, preventing premature death and allowing each to fulfill their natural lifespan; this is also a benevolent art. My friend Dong Jizhi failed the Jinshi examination in his youth and, eager to support his parents, abandoned his studies one day to practice medicine. However, medicine is not a lowly art; ancients did not fail to master it. Figures like Zhang Zhongjing, Tao Hongjing, Ge Hong, and Sun Simiao became famous in later generations. It is only vulgar practitioners who distinguish between noble and base, rich and poor, and disparage their own profession, which gentlemen do not value. Jizhi is different. He treats others' suffering as his own. Visiting patients' homes, he never shrank from extreme cold or heat. For the poor, he often voluntarily provided firewood and grain at dusk or night to alleviate their shortages, and there were many such instances. Later, he brought a booklet of *Xiao'er Banzhen Fang* to visit me, requesting a preface. I thus wrote these brief words to reveal Jizhi's intent, showing that possessing miraculous prescriptions to cure diseases is not something to be overly prized. Dong Ping Shiliushi Shi Sun Zhun (courtesy name Pingfu) wrote the preface.
Qian Yi wrote the postscript: Throughout my life, I have focused on prescriptions and herbs, examining pulses and analyzing syndromes. Although there are fixed methods, exploring origins and adapting to changes, I believe my insights exceed expectations. Pulses are difficult to grasp through mere inquiry, and syndromes cannot be fully captured by words, especially for infants in swaddling clothes and young children. Thus, I specialized in this field for nearly forty years. By chance, I served in the imperial palace and achieved modest success, receiving unexpected favor. However, among pediatric diseases, Yin-Yang epilepsy is the most critical. While classics discuss this extensively, the syndrome of macules and papules, though dangerous, is similar to convulsions and cold damage epilesis, yet the medication differs greatly. A slight error in dosage leads to irreparable mistakes, yet physicians remain unconcerned. Recently, upon returning home, Jizhi from Guangchuan showed me a booklet of prescriptions. Opening it, I exclaimed: "This is what I have devoted myself to studying, yet you obtained it without explicit transmission." I deeply admire Jizhi's mastery of medicine in his youth and am gratified that he shares knowledge as I wished. Thus, I write at the end of the scroll. Dated Bing Shen day of the tenth month, Guiyou year of the Yuan dynasty. Qian Yi, Hanlin Medical Officer, Vice Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, bestowed with a purple fish pouch, inscribed.
Chen Zhen-sun stated: Authored by Dong Ji (courtesy name Jizhi) of Dongping. Qian Yi inscribed the end in the Guiyou year of the Yuan dynasty.

[Liu Zhu] *Chuangzhen Jue*, lost.
Liu Shangyi stated: *Chuangzhen Jue* was authored by Liu Zhu of Pengcheng. Liu Zhu, courtesy name Daoyuan.
[Chen Wenzhong] *Xiao'er Douzhen Fang*, one volume, extant.
Preface by the author states: I have always held that although pediatric diseases are numerous, smallpox and measles are the most severe. Why? Because smallpox and measles are difficult to distinguish in their ambiguous stages. Administering other medicines not only fails to help but causes harm. Moreover, unlike adults, children cannot describe their illness or explain their fears. Parents, knowing the urgency, seek medicine immediately. If physicians misjudge and prescribe incorrectly, few avoid premature death. Whenever I think of this, I feel sorrow. Therefore, I selected verified prescriptions from my family collection, compiled them into one volume, named it *Xiao'er Douzhen Fanglun*, and had it printed for circulation, to promote the ancients' intention of saving children. Is this not correct? Chen Wenzhong, He'an Lang, Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau and Hanlin Physician, respectfully wrote.
Wang Kentang stated: Mr. Chen of Suzhou personally compiled prescriptions for infant care, smallpox, and measles. They are detailed, methodical, and verified. Each time he saves someone, it matches the prescription exactly. Now, thirty years later, he brings the dead back to life as easily as flipping a hand. (From *Taidai Yangsheng Zhu Lun*)
Ruan Guirong stated: Chen Wenzhong quotes Huangdi and Qibo: "When Yang is excessive and Yin deficient, one does not feel cold even in ice and snow; when Yin is excessive and Yang deficient, one does not feel heat even in boiling water." How to treat this? If Yang is excessive, tonify Yin using Muxiang San, adding Dingxiang and Guigui. If Yin is excessive and Yang deficient, use Yigong San, adding Muxiang and Danggui. Those who understand carefully examine whether Yin or Yang is excessive. Using hot medicines indiscriminately is not in accordance with the classics of Huangdi and Qibo; it resembles "making the excess more excess and the deficiency more deficient," like carrying firewood to save a fire. To say all belong to Heart Fire is absurd. Looking at his original formulas for treating phlegm-heat, fullness in the chest, panting, and hard stools, he uses Chaihu Zhike Tang, which contains Dahuang. His other formulas use Chaihu, Heishen, Zhimu, Huangqin, Shigao, Huashi, etc., and do not exclusively use hot medicines. Why do people prefer hot medicines and fear cold ones, leading to Yin-Yang imbalance, failing to realize that sores and ulcers relate to Heart Fire?
Zhu Zhenheng stated: Regarding smallpox discussions, Qian's work is the most detailed. It traces origins and meridians, clearly distinguishes exterior-interior and deficiency-excess, and outlines treatment methods, supported by argumentative discourse, embodying the spirit of teaching through writing. Modern people do not understand the cause of disease or the intent behind prescriptions. In emergencies, they check formulas based on symptoms and try them randomly. If ineffective, they discard the book, which is very thoughtless. Recently, due to the long-standing popularity of *Jufang* and neglect of *Suwen* studies, those discussing medicine with patients tend to prefer warming and tonifying while avoiding cooling and draining. Upon obtaining Chen's treatise, which consists entirely of drying, hot, and tonifying agents, they found the language precise and concise, happily used it, and believed it unanimously, concluding that Qian was far inferior to Chen. Someone asked: Do you think Chen's formulas are inadequate? I said: Chen's formulas are indeed a one-sided theory. Nevertheless, he can be said to be good at seeking the condition of the disease. His intent largely focuses on the Taiyin meridian. Hand Taiyin belongs to the Lung, governing skin and hair; Foot Taiyin belongs to the Spleen, governing muscles. Lung metal dislikes cold and is prone to invasion; Spleen and Stomach earth dislike dampness and accept everything. His use of Dingxiang and Guigui treats Lung cold; Fuzi, Baizhu, and Banxia treat Spleen dampness. If the Lung truly has cold, the Spleen truly has dampness, and there is deficiency, administering measured amounts and stopping when the disease is cured causes no harm. However, nowadays, people only see delayed eruption, fever, diarrhea, palpitations, shortness of breath, and thirst, and regardless of cold-heat or deficiency-excess, they indiscriminately administer Muxiang San and Yigong San. Occasionally, it works, and they claim efficacy. If mistakenly administered, disaster follows quickly. Although using warm medicines for thirst and tonics for itching/collapse originated with Chen and surpassed predecessors, his frequent use of Guizhi, Fuzi, and Dingxiang (drying and hot) may not be appropriate. Why? Guizhi, Fuzi, and Dingxiang are suitable for cold and deficiency. But for deficiency without cold, the harm would be significant. When Chen created his formulas, there must have been smallpox cases complicated by cold, making drying and hot tonification appropriate. Now, without cold complication, using a one-sided formula is likely too hot. (From *Gezhi Yulun*)
[Xiong Zongli] *Leizheng Chen's Xiao'er Douzhen Fanglun*, two volumes, extant.
[Xue Ji] *Jiaozhu Chen's Douzhen Fang*, one volume, extant.
Preface by the author states: I have always held that although medical analysis differs in internal/external and large/small categories, the underlying principles are the same, differing only in human adaptation. Smallpox/measles and carbuncles/sores are particularly similar, and their treatments are interconnected. Both begin with eruption, progress to suppuration, and end with scabbing, following the same pattern. Therefore, Master Dongyuan combined them, emphasizing three methods: Tuo Li (supporting the interior), Shu Tong (unblocking), and He Ying Wei (harmonizing Ying and Wei). This is certainly justified. Chen's book, based on personal insight, elucidates deficiency-excess and cold-heat, aligning with classic principles and surpassing other schools. Liangge San treats excess-heat; Baizhu San treats deficiency-heat; Yigong San treats deficiency-cold; Muxiang San treats weakness. These differentiate exterior-interior, observe colors, and distinguish forms. However, these methods must be applied immediately upon seeing the syndrome; delay leads to error, so students must know this. Having privately studied the sages and occasionally achieved results, I dare to collate and reprint. There may be gains and losses; I hope colleagues will correct me. Auspicious day of the ninth month, Gengxu year of the Jiajing reign. Xue Ji, former Official of Merit and Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, respectfully wrote.
[Wenren Gui] *Douzhen Lun*, three volumes, extant.
Liu Shangyi stated: *Douzhen Lun* was authored by Wenren Gui. Gui was originally a Confucian scholar who failed to achieve success, so he dedicated himself to traditional Chinese medicine and wrote this book. Although his theories derive from Zhang Congdao's 120 chapters, examining the Fenbian Lun (differentiation of changes), he treats according to syndromes and prescribes accordingly. He covers the urgency, severity, cold-dampness, tonification, purgation, attack, and maintenance of the disease comprehensively. His work is accurate, appropriate, concise, and complete, surpassing Zhang Congdao. Last year, I accidentally obtained a copy and tested it on smallpox patients with immediate effect. I sought a printed edition from physicians but found none. Later, promoted to Censor, I traveled to the capital and widely asked physicians and gentry, still finding none. Was it lost during the late Yuan chaos? Medicine saves lives; if this excellent book remains obscure, children with smallpox will have no means to survive, and Wenren Gui will be forgotten. This year, as Magistrate of Chaoyi, thinking of the ancients' benevolence and the need to care for infant sores, I corrected and had it printed in the county office during spare time, hoping to spread it so every family has a book, allowing smallpox patients to survive and Wenren Gui's legacy to continue. The original was damaged with missing characters, so I hope printed editions will correct them. Dated sixth day of mid-autumn, Renyin year of the Jiajing reign. Liu Shangyi, former Jinshi from Fenzhou, recorded.
Wenren Gui wrote the postscript: Scholars in this world face either obscurity or prominence. Mencius said: "In obscurity, cultivate oneself; in prominence, benefit the world." However, an obscure scholar who becomes a good physician does more than just cultivate himself. I have always written books and now study herbs like Renshen and Baizhu. I believe ancient sages, pitying people's suffering, wrote countless books. Reading Sun Simiao's *Qianjin Fang* in my later years, I noticed its order: starting with women and infants, emphasizing salvation and valuing reproduction. I reflected that nursing mothers and sick children inevitably suffer from sores/rashes, where a slight error in treatment leads to life or death, a matter requiring utmost caution by benevolent gentlemen. Birth prescriptions benefit many, but books on infant smallpox only cover basics, offering little guidance in emergencies. Unworthy as I am, I sought ancient discussions, combined them with my observations, and wrote 81 questions and answers in two volumes, titled *Xiao'er Chuangzhen Lun*. I used them to help others with consistent success, saving many. If every family had this book, it would be more than a minor supplement. The treatise was completed long ago, but I lacked the resources to print it. Recently, I entered the circle of Censor Wu Huanzhang, who, upon request, generously donated funds to publish it. His motive was not selfish but to share with all. If there are errors, please correct them for colleagues. Auspicious day of mid-summer, Renchen year of the Shaoding reign. Wenren Gui, Jinshi of the National Academy, described.
Ding Yongrong wrote the colophon: When I governed Yuanzhou, I obtained *Douzhen Lun* from Censor Liu of Jinfen. Reading it, I found its theories and prescriptions clear, simple, and well-founded, encompassing all other schools' methods. It is truly an excellent book for saving children. Later, transferring to Qinhuai, fearing the loss of the original, I proofread and printed it during administrative downtime. In the Wushen year, I obtained the complete version carved by Lu Yanweng of Haiyu. I read it and appended the formulas, wishing to share it with all who protect infants. Readers should gain understanding naturally. Can it be treated as waste paper? Auspicious day of autumn eighth month, Wushen year of the Jiajing reign. Ding Yongrong, External Secretary of Guangxi Department, Ministry of Revenue, Nanjing, respectfully colophon.

Yuan Huang preface: My ancestors received Song dynasty favors and forbade descendants from serving Yuan. Entering Ming, due to harsh laws, we hesitated. My great-grandfather, Mr. Juquan, lived in the Yongle era, gifted and learned, but turned to medicine. My grandfather Yixing and father Canpo were brilliant and erudite but avoided civil service exams. My father taught us literature for exams, and I passed the Bingxu Jinshi. In officialdom, meeting scholars, I lamented the lack of miraculous cures for smallpox and the high infant mortality. I recall Great-grandfather Juquan compiled *Douzhen Quanshu* based on Xu's work. Grandfather Yixing revised it, and Father Canpo edited it. They used their surplus energy to aid others. Their theories and diagrams revealed hidden truths and dispelled ancient mysteries. I ordered printing to spread it. With this book, smallpox treatment has standards, saving 60-70% of infants. Our ancestors' legacy is profound. Alas, Dongfang Shuo's wisdom wasn't just humor, yet historians reduced him to it. Wang Xizhi's learning wasn't just calligraphy, yet admirers focused only on that. Our ancestors' virtues aren't limited here. Readers who judge our family solely by this book are mistaken. To know Juquan, read *Zhouyi Xuyan* and *Chunqiu Biezhuan*; to know Yixing, read *Chunqiu Huowen*, *Gechu Biannian*, *Zhongchen Zijing Lu*, *Zhishi Shuntian Lu*; to know Canpo, read *Dayi Fa*, *Maoshi Huowen*, *Shangshu Biancai Bian*, *Chunqiu Zhenhu Bian*, and *Yiluo Ji*. Only then can you grasp their essence. Though these writings are coarse, the mind's essence cannot be fully expressed in words or ink. Thus, they don't fully reveal our ancestors. Good learners move from coarse to refined. Even this smallpox compilation is worth studying. It must be transmitted. Yuan Huang, Yinong of Zhaotian, bowed and wrote.
Jiaxing Prefecture Gazetteer states: Yuan Ren, courtesy name Lianggui. Father Xiang, grandfather Hao, both had practical statecraft skills. Ren was even deeper, considering medicine a humble profession suitable for seclusion and aiding others, so he secluded himself in medicine.

Preface by the author states: Longevity and lifespan are destined, but only if not caused by human action can it be called destiny. If human efforts are incomplete and one blames destiny, is this wise? Smallpox affects lifespan. From onset to scabbing, there are sequences. Origins differ, but care methods are fixed. Following them ensures survival; ignoring them leads to death. Should we neglect human effort and blame destiny? I had ten children, nearly half died of smallpox. In the first year of Hongzhi, one son and two daughters contracted smallpox. Mourning past deaths, I sought Qian Yi's and others' smallpox prescriptions, followed their sequences strictly. Severe cases improved, mild cases recovered, all safe within a month. Their birth was destined, but I say: those who died earlier didn't follow prescriptions; human effort was incomplete. I deeply regretted this. So I compiled various smallpox texts, explored origins, drew shapes, traced changes, and recorded prescriptions and theories into one volume. I wish to share it with parents everywhere, perhaps preserving infant life and fulfilling destiny. First day of the chrysanthemum month, Xinhai year of Hongzhi. Hu from Jiangdong wrote.

Preface by the author states: The world needs doctors, and doctors need transmission. Without transmission, there is no continuity. When I was young, accompanying my father who governed Huayi, my younger brother died of smallpox entrusted to a quack. I grieved deeply. While studying Confucianism, I secretly wished to learn medicine. I sought masters, collected ancient texts, and after instruction and reference, felt enlightened. I wrote *Douzhen Jilan* in four volumes. Years later, finding it scattered, I refined it into *Douzhen Fanglun*, titled *Xiujin* (Sleeve Gold), implying it is precious enough to fit in a sleeve. All syndromes and treatments are covered. Someone said: "You truly inherited the tradition. You should pass it on." I said: "Without verification, I tested it in Lianghuai and Liangji. Wherever I served, north of Ji, south of Hu, it worked consistently." Someone said: "Verified and trusted. Why not transmit?" I said: "My ambition is to test it nationwide. But looking back, consistency proves validity. Now old age approaches, and I cannot travel further." Another explained: "Consistency reflects universal principle. If principles differ, traveling everywhere helps nothing. If principles are the same..."
