Tao Hua stated: Although I specialize in the discipline of Shanghan (Cold Damage), my expertise far surpasses that of vulgar and boastful physicians. Moreover, all the secret family prescriptions, phrases, and methods accumulated over my lifetime have been fully recorded and elaborated upon. Although many have sought to enter my school, the essential points, which are concise and not cumbersome, require repeated explanation and clarification. Therefore, I have expounded upon the "Qimeng Jiefa" (Enlightenment Quick Methods) and "Maiyao Guanzhu" (Pulse Essentials Beaded String), explaining them clearly one by one for instruction. One should be cautious and discreet, not transmitting these to unworthy individuals, nor lightly leaking them to frivolous people, so as not to betray my intentions.
Xu Chunfu stated: "Shanghan Liushu" (Six Books on Cold Damage), consisting of six volumes, was authored by Tao Hua (courtesy name Shangwen, pseudonym Jie'an) of Linchuan during the Ming Dynasty. The titles of the six books are: "Suoyan" (Trivial Remarks), "Jiami" (Family Secrets), "Shache Chui" (Killing Cart Hammer), "Yiti Jin" (Lifting a Tael of Gold), and "Jiejiang Wang" (River-Cutting Net). It is a pity that he failed to elucidate the principles of Zhang Zhongjing.
Wang Hu stated: "Shanghan Liushu" was authored by Tao Hua (courtesy name Shangwen) of Yuhang during the Ming Dynasty. The book comprises six volumes. Volume 1 is titled "Suoyan", Volume 2 "Jiami", Volume 3 "Shache Chui", Volume 4 "Yiti Jin", Volume 5 "Jiejiang Wang", and Volume 6 "Mingli Xulun". The titles are vulgar and colloquial, the language repetitive, the syndrome differentiation unclear, and the formulas and herbs disorganized. This has led to its propagation among secular scholars, causing harm that persists to this day. Wang Yutai stated: Tao's works are merely plagiarizing the remnants of Zhang Zhongjing (of Nanyang), without even reaching the threshold of the Yishui School (referring to the Hejian School represented by Liu Wansu), yet he rashly disparages the "Shanghan Lun" as an incomplete work, thereby blinding and deafening future learners; he is truly a sinner against Zhang Zhongjing.

[Tong Shi (Yangxue) Shanghan Liushu Zuanya Biyi] - 4 volumes - Extant.
Preface: I once suffered because Shanghan lacked essential guidelines. Zhang Zhongjing's works have been transmitted for a long time but are full of lost fragments, making them unsuitable as concise guides. Subsequently, Wang Shuhe's compilation involved forced interpretations, and Cheng Wuji's annotations failed to correct errors; thus, they cannot serve as essential guides. Even ancient masters... [text damaged] ... could supplement the deficiencies of Zhang Zhongjing's works. However, his arguments appeared repeatedly in "Suoyan", "Jiami", "Xulun", "Jiejiang", "Yiti Jin", and "Chui Fa", lacking concentration and clarity. Over ten years later, I collected his works, obtaining a complete first edition, then a second, yet still not accurate enough. Upon seeing Mr. Liu Zhongwu's collection, I rejoiced, saying, "This collection truly captures the essentials." However, it retained the old structure of the "Liushu"; the section on battle-sweat was missing, and the syndromes of pi-jie (glomus obstruction) had many errors, representing omissions in the collection. I subsequently compiled and analyzed them, removing redundancy, supplementing omissions, and correcting errors, thus completing "Zuanya Biyi". I then requested Master Zhao Youguang (pseudonym Jiannan, from Fuzhou) to print it. Master said, "This collection is truly a method for benevolent people to preserve life and benefit the world, involving extreme painstaking effort. If Heaven has consciousness, it surely will not let such a painstaking person remain obscure. Well said, well said." Recorded on the 15th day of the last month of winter in the 5th year of Chongzhen, by Tong Yangxue Zhuangwu, Instructor of Confucian Studies in Shaowu County.
[Yang Shi (Hengshan) Shanghan Zong Tao Quansheng Jinjing Lu] - Not seen.
Wu Xuesun stated: In the discipline of Shanghan, one first reveres Zhang Zhongjing, and secondly Tao Jie'an. Later famous scholars' debates, while good, ultimately do not facilitate learning for beginners. My friend Yang Hengshan authored "Shanghan Zong Tao Quansheng Jinjing Lu", which is concise and precise, truly a meritorious servant to Zhang Zhongjing and the orthodox successor to Tao Jie'an. (See "Douzhen Sihe Quanshu Fanli").
[Xiong Shi (Zongli) Shanghan Yunqi Quanshu] - 10 volumes in "Mingzhi" - Extant.
Preface: The ascending and descending of Yin and Yang is the constant way of Yunqi (Luck and Qi). Si Tian (Heavenly Ruler) and Zai Quan (Earthly Ruler) occupy different positions; the Five Movements (Wuyun) have differences in excess and deficiency; the Six Qi (Liuqi) have distinctions in reverse, smooth, overcoming, and returning. In ancient times, the sages Xuanyuan and Qibo, pitying the plague and disease afflicting the people, inspired the writing of "Suwen" to become the "Neijing". It states: "First establish the year to know the Qi; left and right correspondingly manifest, then one can know life and death." However, the subtle words and profound meanings were not thoroughly researched. Moreover, the transmission of Shanghan is irregular, unlike miscellaneous diseases. If one can understand the passage of time, changes in Yin and Yang, the overcoming and returning of host and guest Qi, the excess and deficiency of tonification and purgation, and avoid the pitfalls of treating excess as excess or deficiency as deficiency, thereby avoiding premature death, few would succeed. When Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty, with extraordinary talent, deeply studied the "Neijing", exploring subtleties and hidden truths, inheriting past sages and opening future learning, he wrote "Shanghan Zabing Lun" in ten volumes. Through repeated deliberation and secrets, pulse, disease, syndrome, and treatment strictly followed Zhang Zhongjing's established methods. Unrolling the scroll, the 397 methods are clear, the 113 formulas prominent, doubts melt like ice, and order is systematic. Having completed this book, named "Shanghan Biyong Yunqi Quanshu", I respectfully submitted it to Huang Jingchong, Censor of Kaoting, retired Jiepan, and Ding Yuankai of Sanqu. They agreed that the diagrams and summaries were detailed and beneficial to learners, so I diligently commissioned woodblock printing to spread it widely. Presuming upon my mediocrity and forgetting my own ignorance, whether the search and selection were correct remains for superior gentlemen to correct. On an auspicious day in July of the autumn of Wuyin, 2nd year of Tianshun, Xiong Zongli Daoxuan of Aofeng.
Yu Bo stated: Someone asked about Aofeng Xiong's compilation of "Yunqi Quanshu" and authorship of "Shanghan Qianfa", where the patient's birth date/time is combined with the onset date to calculate the Five Movements and Six Qi, matching perfectly with the Six Channels of Shanghan syndromes. It claims that on a certain day, a specific channel is affected, and specific herbs should be used for that channel, applying Zhang Zhongjing's 113 formulas according to rules, such as using Mahuang Tang for Taiyang without sweat and Guizhi Tang for Taiyang with sweat. This allows learners to deduce methods without questioning symptoms or examining pulses; simply calculating the affected channel dictates the herbs. This is indeed a quick and miraculous method for physicians. Should you not follow this lineage? The reply was: This is Ma Zongsu's baseless technique, playing with human lives. I believe the ancient sages observed astronomy and geography, pairing the Ten Heavenly Stems to form the Five Movements and combining the Twelve Earthly Branches to form the Six Qi. Heaven resides in six directions, and the year is recorded by six Qi. Adding Heaven's Six Qi to the Year's Six Sections, the principles of Five Elements' overcoming, returning, surplus, and deficit are invariably verified. It is said: Heaven is high, stars are distant; if one seeks their causes, days a thousand years hence can be calculated sitting down. Now, commoners combine human fate dates with illness dates to create Yunqi Qianfa, taking Zhang Zhongjing's formulas to treat. This is like a judge shifting emotions to fit the law, having killed many. Wise gentlemen should beware of repeating this mistake. (See "Yixue Zhengzhuan").

Note: The above appears in the "Jiading County Gazetteer".
The "Jiading County Gazetteer" states: Tang Chun, courtesy name Shangling, referenced various schools' formulas tirelessly until old age, never separating from books during rest, sleep, eating, or drinking.

Modern practitioners revere it. His nephew Tang Zui is most renowned.
[Wu Shi (Shou) Shanghan Yunyao Quanshu] (Recorded as "Shanghan Yunao" in "Yitong", "Shanghan Yunyao Tushuo" in "Zhejiang Tongzhi") - 4 volumes (8 volumes in "Yicang Mulu") - Extant.
Preface: My medical lineage began with my great-grandfather Wu Renzhai, continuing to my father Wu Shizong, the third generation. Unfortunately, I lost my father early and neglected medicine. Upon growing up, I read the "Huangdi Neijing" and Zhang Zhongjing's "Shanghan Lun", feeling ignorant and vast as an ocean. I regretted my dull nature and inferior learning. The classics are concise in language and profound in meaning, difficult for beginners, leading me to set them aside due to lack of understanding of exegesis. I realized medical arts are not easily discussed. Thus, I sought teachers, studied extensively, and explained for over thirty years, gaining slight insights. Fortunately recognized by officials, I was recommended as a Medical Official, soon summoned to the Imperial Hospital, selected for the Imperial Medicine Hall, serving close to the Emperor to repay him. Serving the Crown Prince with medicine yielded results, leading to promotion to Vice Director of the Imperial Hospital, receiving immense grace. Soon after, ill health led to leave granted to return home. In leisure, I examined ancient and modern Shanghan books. Viewing Zhang Zhongjing's "Shanghan Dalun", with its 397 methods and 113 formulas, Six Channel transmissions, Yin-Yang excess/deficiency, sweating, vomiting, purging, and earnest warnings, the changes in treatment are subtle and infinite, truly a benefit to life and an unchanging great law for eternity. Alas, generations have obscured it, leaving it incomplete and causing regret. Later, Zhu Fengyi of Nanyang wrote "Huoren Shu", greatly supplementing Zhang Zhongjing. Zhao Sizhen of Sanshan annotated it, but many doubts remained, making it hard to use exclusively. Although recent Shanghan books emerged, attempting to align with poetic rhyme, they lost the original meaning; no amount of brocade can ward off severe cold like a fox fur coat. Regarding Six Channel transmission and Yin-Yang subtleties, conditions like fire extreme resembling water or water extreme resembling fire often lack intensity, causing confusion and hesitation. Some administer random decoctions, others wait passively for death. As the Classics state: Yin excess Yang deficiency, sweating cures, purging kills. Yang excess Yin deficiency, purging cures, sweating kills. Treatments for deficiency and excess are worlds apart; the mechanism of fortune and misfortune responds like an echo. Is it easy? Also: Guizhi entering the throat, Yang excess leads to death. Chengqi entering the stomach, Yin excess leads to demise. Life and death hinge on a moment, life ending before days can be counted. How painful must this be to benevolent observers! This is the motivation. Unable to restrain my unwillingness to see suffering, I presumptuously collected Zhang Zhongjing's essential Shanghan methods as the core, supplemented by extracting profound points from other books, daring not to offer conflicting theories. Gathering these scales, I named it "Shanghan Yunyao Quanshu". Each reading revealed errors and omissions, leading to four years of triple proofreading and correction before printing. I dare not claim perfection, but hope to transmit it, aiming for unity of ancient and modern threads for easier review. Such is my humble view, awaiting correction by wise gentlemen, so that future physicians may have standards to follow. Prefaced on the 3rd day of the 2nd month of Yi Chou, Hongzhi era, by Wu Shou, Vice Director of the Imperial Hospital, Qiantang.
Examples: This book cites "Suwen" as "Neijing says", "Shanghan Lun" as "Jing says", and other books by name. Inconvenient phrases are omitted for coherence. The first section records the Five Movements and Six Qi of "Neijing", as this is the physician's primary task. Without knowing the principles of heavenly Dao and annual Qi, discussing Shanghan treatment is like walking at night blind or approaching a deep pool—dangerous. Meridians must be known; one must identify the primary channel of Shanghan to clarify Yin-Yang and cold-heat. Ignoring meridians is like seeking a ford in the sea,茫然若失. Observation of complexion is first; observe spirit, movement, speech, then pulse diagnosis to determine fortune/misfortune. Pulse diagnosis focuses on Floating, Middle, and Deep methods; Shanghan pulses differ from miscellaneous diseases, so only Shanghan pulse methods are taken. Syndrome examination requires asking duration, previous medications, etiology, and current bowel/bladder status. Correct naming of Shanghan distinguishes Six Channel transmission from Warm Diseases and Epidemics, requiring detailed differentiation.
Wang Hu stated: "Shanghan Yunyao", compiled by Wu Shou, Vice Director of the Imperial Hospital, Qiantang, Ming Dynasty, consists of four volumes. Vol 1 covers questions on Yunqi, observation, tongue, pulse, Six Channel transmission, herb properties, formula preparation, and decoction. Vol 2 differentiates Shanghan-Warmth combined/complex diseases, two-channel infections, seasonal Qi, cold epidemics, winter warmth, warm toxins, damp-warmth, warm malaria, warm epidemics, heatstroke, cholera, spasm, phlegm, food stagnation, empty vexation, beriberi, with formulas. Later discusses Shanghan examples: Big Head, Macule, Jaundice, Mania, Epigastric Fullness, Cough/Asthma/Palpitations, totaling 23 examples. Vol 3 differentiates Yang Channel heat, varying root/symptoms: Exterior Fever, Exterior Aversion to Cold, Incomplete Sweating post-Sweating, Delirium/Zhengsheng/Aonao, totaling 36 examples. Vol 4 differentiates Yin/Yang syndromes, Yang resembling Yin, Yin resembling Yang, Women/Children Shanghan, totaling 51 examples. Ends with acupuncture methods. Generally, this book surpasses Tao's "Liushu" but serves only secular scholars seeking examples and formulas, ignoring Zhang Zhongjing's theory as the root, pursuing branches, leading to confusion. Though lifelong practice, one may not grasp the principle; many errors likely occur, blinding learners.

He bought rare prescriptions dearly, favoring Li Dongyuan and Danxi. Once, someone suffered nosebleeds in winter; Shi Bao advised pepper soup. The patient doubted it. Shi Bao explained: Beans shaken in a bucket move freely but jump out if slowed. Similarly, harmonious Ying-Wei allows smooth Qi-blood flow. Cold in the brain causes blood stasis; stasis prevents returning to vessels, causing overflow. It is not a heat disease. The patient took pepper and recovered. His works "Shanghan Yaoyao" and "Shanghan Yaoge" surpassed predecessors.

Huangfu Zhong noted: "My father Juquan was friends with Tao Tinggui, Tao's son, and obtained 'Shanghan Suoyan' and 'Shache Chui Fa', secret heart-to-heart teachings." However, Jie'an's "Liushu" is criticized by Shanghan practitioners today, implying this book's status.
Xu Chunfu stated: Huangfu Zhong, pseudonym Yunzhou, from Renhe, came from a scholarly-medical family, becoming prominent. His "Mingyi Zhizhang", 10 volumes, advises examining eight pulses to clarify eight essentials, serving as a guide for learners.
