[Liu Chun's *Shanghan Zhili*] Recorded as one volume in *Guoshi Jingzhi*, extant.
Xiao Qian wrote in the preface: *Shanghan Zhili* was authored by the famous physician, Old Man Liu. Old Man Liu's given name was Chun, and his courtesy name was Zongnong. His ancestors were from Huainan; due to certain matters, they relocated to the Guanzhong region, where they settled. As a junior generation, I did not have the opportunity to meet Old Man Liu. Driven by admiration, I sought out his descendants and examined his genealogy, discovering he was descended from an official family. Old Man Liu was a man of extensive learning, particularly proficient in medicine. His father, Mr. Juquan, studied under Zhu Danxi. When Old Man Liu inherited this tradition, his medical practice flourished greatly, and his family reputation became prominent. He thus compiled this book based on what he learned from his father and teachers. This work likely aims to trace the origins of the *Suwen* (Plain Questions) and capture the essence of Zhang Zhongjing. Those treating Cold Damage diseases who follow this path will succeed like archers hitting the target or hunters making a catch. It is sufficient to revive the dying and turn danger into safety, avoiding premature death, leading all to the realm of benevolence and longevity. I had the opportunity to print this book, further facilitating its widespread dissemination. The virtue and benefit of Old Man Liu extend beyond this. He also authored *Yijing Guoxiao* and *Yuji Wei Yi*, which are circulated in the world. On the auspicious first day of the tenth month of the Jihai year of the Chenghua era, Yi'an Jushi Xiao Qian wrote this preface.
The *Shaanxi Tongzhi* records: Liu Chun, courtesy name Jingnong, resided in Xianning during the Hongwu period. He was erudite and skilled in literature, fond of poetry, and deeply understood medicine. He authored books such as *Yijing Guoxiao*, *Shouqin Yanglao Buiyi*, *Shanghan Zhili*, and *Yuji Wei Yi*.
Wang Hu stated: *Shanghan Zhili* was compiled by Liu Chun (courtesy name Zongnong) of Wuling. The book consists of only one volume. Its differentiation of Cold Damage begins with fever and extends to symptoms like grasping at clothing and bedclothes, covering 87 conditions. Finally, it lists 8 conditions including warm malaria. Each condition has specific treatments. For example, for fever, treatments include releasing the exterior, inducing sweating, releasing the muscle layer, and harmonizing Ying and Wei. Its principles include following the meridians, following the disease, following the timing, variable cases, contraindicated cases, and acupuncture cases. Its methods are detailed, rigorous, and precise. Beyond Zhang Zhongjing's original treatise, it incorporates treatments from later virtuous physicians. As Xiao Yi'an said in his preface: "Those treating Cold Damage who follow this path will succeed like archers hitting the target or hunters making a catch, capable of reviving the dead." These words are indeed truthful.
The *Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: *Shanghan Zhili*, one volume, written by Liu Chun of the Ming Dynasty. Its format is identical to *Zabing Zhili*. It does not mark the Six Meridians nor distinguish between interior and exterior. Instead, it uses 95 existing symptoms as the main framework, deducing the pathology and treatment for each symptom. This edition was printed by Xiao Qian in the Jihai year of the Chenghua era.

Self-preface states: The study of medicine has ancient roots. Since Huangdi and Qibo, and especially since the rise of Zhang Zhongjing, medical arts became fully established. What can serve as a model for posterity is solely Zhang Zhongjing's work on Cold Damage. Wang Shuhe's reorganization benefited future generations greatly. From the Jin dynasty onwards, there have been numerous figures across generations. Sun Zhao, Xie Fugu, Guo Yong, Cheng Wuji, and over a hundred others, all followed and expounded upon his theories, providing annotations that offered much enlightenment. However, many deviated from Zhang Zhongjing's original intent. Those who forced interpretations, despite their literary elegance, left many doubts, rendering annotations less helpful and making learning more difficult for later generations. Is this not lamentable? From youth to old age, I devoted myself to this art, immersing in Zhang Zhongjing's works for nearly twenty years, before daring to synthesize, analyze, categorize, and divide them into volumes. Those with pure pulse methods, clear symptoms, discussions, and formulas are placed in the Inner Section. Those mixing refined and crude elements form the Outer Section. Those with discussions but no formulas or symptoms form the Miscellaneous Section. I also incorporated insights from my teachers and friends, some clarifying Zhang Zhongjing's subtle mysteries, others revealing unspoken ancient wisdom. I established *Shanghan Bianhuo Rushi* and attached it to *Leizheng*. By discussing symptoms through theory, the beginning and end connect seamlessly; by listing items, words do not repeat. Thus, students need not search extensively; categories, formulas, theories, pulses, and symptoms are clearly visible. Alas! I have heard people compare Zhang Zhongjing's book to the Confucian Classics, a true maxim. Yet when treating patients, many rely on family secret recipes, succeeding or failing arbitrarily. When questioned, they know not whom to follow, rendering Zhang Zhongjing's book obscure. This is a great error of the world. Why? Medicine is not easily discussed. Only those with divine, sagely, skillful, and adept qualities can assist Heaven and Earth, align with Yin and Yang, administer remedies, revive the dead, and reach Zhang Zhongjing's level. I believe that practicing medicine without entering Zhang Zhongjing's gate is like Confucians ignoring Confucius and favoring the Hundred Schools. This compilation carries the guilt of overstepping; I dare not offer it to experts, but only to aid beginners. Written on the Chrysanthemum Festival of the Guiyou year of the Hongwu era by Huang Zhongli of Xiangxi, Ma'anshan.
Note: [Lu Angong's *Shanghan Lun Leizheng Bianlan*] Recorded as eleven volumes in *Guoshi Jingzhi*, extant.
General Rules state: Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* has lost its authenticity in old editions, suffering from textual errors. We now correct it based on good editions. Where doubts remain, we reference other schools' views. Although Wang Shuhe organized the *Shanghan Lun*, it remains inconvenient to consult. Following Mr. Huang Zhongli's method of categorizing symptoms by type facilitates study for learners. Huang Zhongli's innovations are recorded under old notes, distinguished by circles. Cheng Wuji had already annotated the *Shanghan Lun*; we follow the old edition for small text but place his *Mingli Lun* in large text at the head of each category, hoping learners enter Zhang Zhongjing's hall through Cheng's words. The *Shanghan Fu* follows Mengzhai Wu's composition. Old formulas in the *Shanghan Lun* numbered 113; we increased this to 334, drawing from Zhu Fengyi's *Huo Ren Shu*, *He Ji Ju Fang*, Chen Liangfu's *Taichan Yaofang*, Zeng Shirong's *Xiao'er Shanghan Yaofang*, and Li Dongyuan's *Cishi Nanzhi*. This is not arbitrary speculation. Title inscription: *Shanghan Leizheng* was compiled by Mr. Huang Zhongli. His methods strictly follow Zhang Zhongjing. His categorization aids consultation. My late father wished to publish this but failed. I have studied this book diligently for years. Concerned about minor omissions, I supplemented it with various theories and empirical formulas, without adding personal whims. Hence the name *Shanghan Leizheng Bianlan*. Printed for sharing with like-minded individuals everywhere. May future scholars forgive my presumption. Recorded by Lu Angong, descendant of Xiaoshan, on the full moon of the Chrysanthemum month in the Jiwu year of the Hongzhi era.
Tang Gaoren's preface states: Countless families have excelled in medicine throughout history, yet regarding Cold Damage, Han dynasty's Zhang Zhongjing alone grasped the essence. He wrote *Jingui Yuhan Jing*, focusing on Cold Damage. Later, in the early Jian'an period, due to many clan members dying from this disease, he wrote *Shanghan Lun* in 22 chapters, establishing 397 laws and 113 formulas. Physicians often memorized these texts and explored their principles, achieving efficacy in treating Cold Damage. Although edited by Wang Shuhe, annotated by Cheng Wuji, and categorized by Huang Zhongli, errors and confusions persist, rarely corrected. The Lu family of our county has practiced medicine for generations. Lu Angong excelled even more, studying all specialties. Regarding Cold Damage, he penetrated Zhang Zhongjing's depths. Patients flocked to him like a market. Angong never exploited severe cases for profit nor accumulated cases for labor. He regulated deficiency and excess, addressing heavy/light, choppy/smooth, dry/damp conditions according to symptoms, saving many lives. People far and near revered him. In his leisure, he corrected Huang Zhongli's categorized Zhang's book, teaching his son Lu Nongzai and nephews Zhang Zhenghong, Wu Yishun, etc., to proofread it carefully, dividing it into eleven volumes, titled *Shanghan Leizheng Bianlan*. He asked me for a preface, saying this was his ancestor's wish. Upon viewing it, I found it well-categorized and logical. Cheng Wuji's theories head each category; Huang Zhongli's comments are circled outside old notes. Qi Yun diagrams are placed at the front for current use; effective formulas are added at the back to supplement the past. Students reading this can find symptoms through categories without confusion, understand principles through annotations without disorder, treat diseases through methods without difficulty, and prepare medicines through formulas without error. This is like climbing high to see far or standing central to observe corners, truly convenient for browsing. Yuan scholar Fuchu said: Li Mingzhi's *Shanghan Huiyao* allows identifying medicine by symptom and symptom by medicine, grouping similar items, visible at a glance. Even clumsy doctors using it in haste are guided like a south-pointing chariot, free from doubt. This book surpasses even that. Alas, how benevolent! However, five regions have different customs, five qi different influences, five elements different endowments, so five natures vary easily. There are same diseases treated differently. Doctors must not lose sight of categories, nor be rigid in methods or formulas. One should not stick to fixed rules like tuning a zither with glued bridges, claiming to be a good doctor while ignoring changes—I am puzzled by such claims. Written on the Chrysanthemum Festival of the ninth lunar month of autumn in the Jiwu year of the Hongzhi era by Tang Gaoren of the same county, Xin'an.
Cheng Minzheng, after writing a postscript to the Lu Family Ancestral Shrine Record in She County, said: Master Lu Angong has practiced medicine in the Huixi region for generations and honors his ancestors' legacy, as seen in this record. Ancient times called medicine the art of benevolence. Benevolence starts with kin. Someone like Angong is rare. Now Angong has been summoned to the capital, his fame growing daily, perhaps preparing for greater service. He declined due to his mother's mourning period; showing benevolence to parents is difficult. I entrusted someone to copy this record. After his mourning term, Angong went north to serve the Imperial Household, aiming to achieve great medical feats, expanding the application of benevolent arts, thereby illuminating his ancestors' legacy. His sixth-generation ancestor, Lu Mengfa, was a jinshi alongside Prime Minister Wen, serving as Vice Minister of a Major Department, authoring *Xiaochuang Ji*. I have not seen it, though Mr. Fang Xugu praised it highly. Angong should send me a copy. I am compiling *Xin'an Wenxian Zhi*; surely there are many words of benevolent sages. (Collected Works)
Xu Chunpu stated: Lu Angong was from Gushé, Xin'an. His family practiced medicine for generations, becoming renowned through Angong. Patients from far and near sought his cure with increasing success. The court recruited him as an official in the Grand Hospital. He declined and returned home, compiling *Shanghan Leizheng Bianlan* in ten volumes, now circulating in the world.
[Zhao Daozhen's *Shanghan Leizheng*] Not seen.
*Dingyuan County Gazetteer* states: Zhao Daozhen, courtesy name Churen, from Jinhua. Proficient in medicine, thoroughly studying texts from Huangdi and Qibo downwards. Studied under Zhu Danxi, deepening his attainment. Relocated to Dingyuan in the Jisi year of the Hongwu era, saving many lives, never mentioning profit. In the Bingxu year of the Yongle era, ordered by the Emperor to participate in compiling the Great Canon and Qi Yun books, Zhao directed the project. Upon return, he taught his sons medicine and sang Chu Ci in leisure. Died at eighty-four. Authored *Shanghan Leizheng*, transmitted in the world.

During the Yongle era, he cured an eunuch's gu poison with remarkable effect, gaining imperial attention. Summoned, he answered satisfactorily, appointed Imperial Physician of the Grand Hospital. When the Crown Princess fell ill during pregnancy, Sheng Yin diagnosed it as a blood disorder requiring purgatives. Other doctors were shocked. The Princess ordered the proponent of purgatives to treat her. The next day, she recovered greatly. She was rewarded with gold and silk worth one thousand strings of cash. Before the Emperor, Sheng Yin maintained a firm stance, earning high regard. He accompanied the northern campaign and soon managed the Grand Hospital. In the first year of Xuande, he received an edict of praise. Serving the Emperor daily, he effectively treated princes' illnesses, receiving special rewards of silver and fine horses. He composed poems on command, such as *Rui Xue Shi*. Once playing chess with colleague Han Shu in the Imperial Pharmacy, the Emperor arrived unexpectedly. They knelt awaiting punishment. The Emperor ordered them to finish the game, then bestowed a poem *Zui Taiping Ci* and requested another poem. Such was his favor. In the first year of Zhengtong, he returned home for his father's mourning. Zhou Wenxiang Chen, a close friend, sent a hundred shi of rice, which Sheng Yin refused, sending a poem in return containing "Dreams of rivers and seas like fish and dragons, plans for grain like sparrows and rats." Chen sighed in admiration. Upon finishing mourning and preparing to return to the capital, he suddenly fell ill. Diagnosing his own pulse, he said, "I shall not recover." He composed three poems before passing, aged sixty-seven. His brother Hongzi, nephew Lun, and grandson Kai all continued the family medical tradition. Nephew [Name missing] was upright. Once, he sent a servant to deliver grain to officials; the servant took an extra unit. Angry, [Nephew] placed the rice behind the granary to feed birds. Initially, Sheng Yin learned medicine from Gao Shi Bin, who learned from Dai Yuanli, who learned from Zhu Yanzhou of Danxi. Thus, his skills were particularly refined. Contemporaries Liu Min and Li Simian also inherited Sheng Yin's techniques. Sheng Yin authored *Liuguang Ji*.

*Shan County Gazetteer* states: Shen Zhen, courtesy name Shiyi. Proficient in medicine, dedicated to helping others, never greedy for profit. Finding Cold Damage difficult to treat, he focused on Zhang Zhongjing's treatise, incorporating Li Hao's *Huowen* and Guo Yong's *Buwang*. Collecting all discussions on Cold Damage from the Han dynasty to the present, he created a specialized book named *Shanghan Huitong*. Physicians in the Wu region believed he supplemented Zhang Zhongjing's incompleteness.

Self-preface states: What kind of Way is medicine? It is the Way of the Gentleman. Can it be lightly discussed by those without steadfastness? Drugs can save or kill life. If handled improperly, they turn from saving to killing. Only Gentlemen maintain strict integrity, ensuring their craft is excellent. Facing illness, they are thorough and cautious, turning sorrow to joy. Villains are cruel and greedy; greed seeks profit, cruelty disregards human life. Facing illness, they boast and act hastily, ignoring deficiency or excess, administering harsh drugs. They hardly fail to kill. I adhere to the Way of the Gentleman. In my old age, I had a son, just coming of age, weak and sickly, lazy and unwilling to strive. He seemed unfit to inherit this Way. I grieved day and night, fearing that after my death, he might entrust sick relatives to quacks, causing harm and extinguishing the lineage. Mencius said: "There are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which having no heir is the greatest." Having a sick child and not transmitting the Way of saving lives, leading to premature death, cuts off ancestral sacrifices. Is this the way of a father? I am now seventy-seven, very frail. My days are few. Day and night, I worked to compile *Shanghan Mingli Xubian*. Although theories and methods are roughly complete, without oral transmission from a master, one cannot fully integrate them. Thus, I wrote *Suoyan* in one volume. Though the language is humble, it is concise and meaningful. It contains Zhang Zhongjing's untransmitted secrets, unheard by the world. I expose my heart to reveal profound truths. It is a ladder to height; treasure it like pearls and jade. Study it deeply, search for its meaning, ask questions, do not procrastinate, strive for daily progress. Sima Guang said: "If successful, be a good minister; if not, be a good doctor." Is this not the Way of the Gentleman? You should cherish this instruction, practice it reverently. If you can help others with this Way in the future, you are a Gentleman. If your mind is not ancient-like, thinking my intentions wrong, and using this Way to kill, betraying my efforts, you are not my son. Written on the Zhongyuan Festival of the Yichou year of the Zhengtong era by Tao Hua, Jie'an Daoren of Yuhang.
[*Shanghan Jiami Ben De*] One volume, extant.
Tao Hua states: I am old. Specializing in Cold Damage, I truly inherited Master Zhang Zhongjing's essence. Though lacking perfect success, I save eight or nine out of ten. I once wrote a book but did not pour my heart and soul into it. Now, fearing that successors may not receive the true transmission, tarnishing my reputation, I record below my lifelong inner thoughts, family secrets, and the "One Lift Gold" and "Kill Cart Hammer" methods. Theory annotates symptoms, symptoms annotate pulses, pulses annotate methods, methods annotate formulas. I urge repeatedly: My descendants need not collect miscellaneous formulas or read other discourses, avoiding confusion and depthlessness. Must memorize thoroughly; over time, precision and penetration will come naturally. Do not associate with quacks, avoid mockery by contemporary physicians. Treasure and transmit this cautiously. Do not neglect or ignore. This is my warning.
[*Shanghan Jiami Shache Chui Fa*] One volume, extant.
Tao Hua states: I specialize in Cold Damage, deeply understanding its mysteries. Regular pulses align with spiritual mechanisms; medication yields immediate results. *Ben De Xulun* comprehensively elucidates. *Shache Chui Fa* is rare in the world, a precious treasure for health preservation. I now present thirty-seven secret-effective formulas with annotations, twenty hammering methods, twenty decoction methods, plus disease-arresting and antidotal methods, named *Shache Chui*. This is truly my innermost, untransmitted secret. My descendants must not reveal a single word lightly. Do not tell laypeople, do not let quacks see. Treasure it cautiously, do not violate my earnest instructions.
[*Shanghan Zheng Mai Yao Jie Jiang Wang*] One volume, extant.
Tao Hua states: Cold Damage differs from other specialties; it is the primary concern of internal medicine. Its pulse theory is profound, unpredictable like Gen and Zhen trigrams, with life and death turning in a moment, very hard to comprehend. Those claiming to treat Cold Damage are often like tigers with sheep skins—imposing appearance but weak substance. Their reputation is inflated, but their actual virtue is flawed. In my youth, I studied blindly, confused like a fly hitting a window. Later, I obtained Master Zhang Zhongjing of Changsha, Han Dynasty, whose healing methods and surviving *Yuhan* writings, named *Yifang Jiabi*, opened my blocked mind. I danced with joy. Multiple trials yielded multiple successes. How precious! But fearing my descendants would remain ignorant and helpless when facing illness, I compiled these responsive mental keys and methods into a collection, named *Shanghan Zheng Mai Yao Jie Jiang Wang*. Keep it for daily study to reflect on my ignorance.
