(Note: The text continues from "sound". Hoping for the harmony of White Snow [a metaphor for high-quality music or writing]. The time is the tenth year of Kangxi, in the year Xinhai, on the first day of the first month of summer. Inscribed by Li Xu Bin, courtesy name Zhongke.)
General Rules (Fanli):
First, this book has been abandoned and lost for a long time, containing many erroneous characters. Doubtful parts are left blank to show caution. It is heard that some analyze the meaning sentence by sentence; I tentatively offer my humble views to later scholars for discussion. Second, the original text includes attached formulas, claiming they come from books such as *Qianjin Fang* and *Waitai Miyao*, which seem to be additions by later people. However, the herbs cited in these formulas are quite extraordinary. They may have originally been formulated by Zhang Zhongjing, but named after the books of those accustomed to using them. Now, following Xu's transmitted edition, they are listed at the end for reference. Third, my work contains both annotations (Zhu) and discussions (Lun). The righteous explanations and clarifications are contained within the annotations. If there are residual meanings or summaries of various syndromes that cannot be exclusively attributed to one formula, they appear in the discussions. Furthermore, if there are scriptural principles borrowed to reveal the deeper meaning of the main text, they are specially placed above. Fourth, although this book stems from limited insight, there is a way regardless of distance, and no one fails to seek correction. Learned gentlemen, even if not versed in medicine, also inquire humbly. Those who received more instruction are placed first, not out of preference for priority. If disciples follow, they might feel compelled to conform. Fifth, for the profound intent in the annotations that deserves detailed savoring, dense circles ○○○ are used. For revisions or refutations, dense dots … are used. For word-by-word annotation of the scripture, empty triangles △△△ are used throughout. This is not to divide punctuation; thus, any part of the original scripture text is marked with triangles for easy identification. Sixth, to read my discussions and annotations effectively, one must first memorize the herbal ingredients of each formula character by character without omission, connecting them fluently. Exhaust one's knowledge and explore for a long time. Only then can one verify the gains and losses of the remaining discussions and annotations. One must not pick fragments for convenience nor skim superficially. One should know that other books are essentially plagiarized compilations, so one may read the beginning and discard the end; even selecting one item from them may sometimes yield results. However, the subtlety of *Jin Gui Yao Lue* becomes fully apparent only when reading the entire volume. One must observe not only what is used but also what is not used. One must understand that Zhang Zhongjing's examination of syndromes and prescription of medicines has reached sagehood. Is it that his choice of what *not* to use implies an intellectual inferiority to later generations?
Summary of the Catalogue of the Four Treasuries (Siku Quanshu Tiyao):
*Jin Gui Yao Lue Lun Zhu* (Discussion and Annotation of Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet), 24 volumes. Authored by Zhang Ji of the Han Dynasty, annotated by Xu Bin of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Ji, courtesy name Zhongjing, was from Nanyang. He passed the Xiaolian examination and served as the Grand Administrator of Changsha during the Jian'an era. This book is also known as *Jin Gui Yu Han Jing*. It was compiled by Wang Shuhe of Gaoping, Jin Dynasty. According to Chen Zhen Sun's *Zhichai Shulu Jieti*, Wang Shuhe's compilation originally consisted of three volumes. Wang Zhu preserved the latter two volumes in a copy. Later, a volume of formulas was scattered and attached to the twenty-five chapters. Thus, it was no longer Wang Shuhe's original form. Nevertheless, since the Song Dynasty, physicians have revered it as a model, holding it in equal esteem with *Su Wen* and *Nan Jing*. Gaining even a fragmentary understanding of it can revive the dying; it is indeed the orthodox transmission of Qi Bo and Huang Di, and the direct lineage of He Biao. Zhang Ji's *Shanghan Zubing Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases), since Jin Cheng Wuji, has had commentators competing for fame and altering the text mutually. Like the Song Neo-Confucians discussing misplaced bamboo slips, the original thread of the text has long been confused and hard to trace. Only this compilation, with its formulas merely scattered and attached, has not lost its initial purport, making it particularly precious. Han dynasty manuscripts feature concise and profound sentences, and historically lacking annotations, they were difficult for physicians to read hastily. Xu Bin's annotations were completed in the Xinhai year of Kangxi; the annotations are relatively clear. I record and preserve it here for teaching and study. Xu Bin, courtesy name Zhongke, was from Jiaxing and a disciple of Yu Chang from Jiangxi, hence his learning had a clear lineage.
[Cheng Lin *Jin Gui Yao Lue Zhi Jie*] 3 Volumes. Extant.
General Rules: First, citations and evidence are based on *Ling Shu*, *Su Wen*, *Ben Cao*, *Mai Jing*, *Jia Yi*, *Zhong Zang*, and *Shanghan Lun*. Where masters of the Six Dynasties, Tang, and Song have definitive arguments, they are attached. As a junior scholar, Lin uses scripture to verify scripture, aiming for directness and simplicity, with detailed and clear principles, expecting practical utility, avoiding obscure language, pedantic theories, or twisted interpretations to deceive or mislead. Second, the subtlety of this path lies in penetrating the mechanism of Qi transformation and mastering the principles of Yin and Yang. Without deep investigation, one cannot understand even if told; without attaining the Dao, one cannot practice even if taught. Therefore, reading Zhang Zhongjing's *Jin Gui* requires integrating it with his *Shanghan*. With a purified mind over time, one will grasp its purport. Otherwise, gaining one thing means losing another, failing to窥探 (peek into) its essentials. Third, Zhang Zhongjing's methods include: boiling Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang) first in Mahuang Tang; adding Mang Xiao (Mirabilite) last in Da Chengqi Tang; double-boiling in Xiao and Da Chaihu Tang; single dose, warm administration, cold administration, three times daily, three times daily and once at night, twice daily. To assist medicinal power: drinking millet gruel, drinking warm water, eating soft food. Repeated sweating, slight perspiration, inducing diarrhea, promoting urination. Such cases cannot be listed one by one. The methods are flexible and comprehensive, unsurpassed through the ages, hence called Ancestral Formulas. Fourth, Lin Yi of the Song Dynasty corrected the text and attached Tang formulas like Hou Shi Hei San, which are now deleted. Chaihu Yin Zi is a Song formula.

[Shen Mingzong *Jin Gui Yao Lue Bian Zhu*] 24 Volumes. Extant.
Shen Mingzong said: The *Jin Gui* book has concise language and profound principles, truly supplementing the deficiencies of Xuanyuan and Qibo, serving as a bridge for later learners. However, authors usually establish guidelines first, then details. This book begins with questions and answers on treating diseases, while the general rules are placed in later chapters. The headings of various formula discussions are disjointed, causing readers to feel lost like in a foggy path, leading some to abandon it. Alas! Zhang Zhongjing lived over a thousand years ago. Many bamboo slips were lost, and the original text was mixed with *Shanghan Lun*. Later scholars failed to perceive its subtleties, causing it to be separated and poorly organized, which was not Zhongjing's intent but the error of those who edited his works. Therefore, I presumptuously place Chapter Two at the beginning as the Preface and General Rules. Then I arrange Heavenly Time, Geography, Pulse, Syndromes, and Decoction Methods, linking them sequentially, so order is maintained and readers can easily enter the inner chambers and reach the correct path. I wonder how connoisseurs will judge this.
[Wei Litong *Jin Gui Yao Lue Ben Yi*] 3 Volumes. Extant.
Note: The title page says *Lun Zhu*, while the preface says *Shi Yi*, showing different names. After the preface, it attaches Lin Yi's preface and one essay by Xu Bin. It is still divided into two volumes. Although the annotations clarify much, the language is somewhat cluttered.
[You Yi *Jin Gui Yao Lue Xin Dian*] 3 Volumes. Extant.
Self-Preface: *Jin Gui Yao Lue* was written by Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty. It is the ancestor of medical formulas and the patriarch of treating miscellaneous diseases. Its formulas are simple yet effective; its text is concise yet difficult to understand. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, annotations were missing. After the rise of the Ming Dynasty, commentators began to emerge. Until now, there are dozens, all striving for depth to enlighten the ignorant and resolve doubts. However, those with lofty natures wander far and wide, twisting their theories, resulting in superficiality. Those who stick to rules count lines and ink, fearing to exhaust words, resulting in narrowness. Though their approaches differ, their faults are the same. I have read Zhongjing's books many times. Whenever I had insights, I wrote them down for future verification, not daring to use them to annotate this book. Over time, I grasped seven or eight parts but could not finish. In the autumn of Bingwu, while ill in seclusion, I declined social duties, took an old edition of *Jin Gui*, and re-examined it. I supplemented unrecorded parts, revised imperfect records, studied deeply, seeking to align with the ancients' minds. Where profound meanings could not be explained, I left them blank. Where transcription errors existed, I proposed corrections. Where later additions were suspected, I deleted them. From Zang-Fu and Collaterals to Women's Miscellaneous Diseases, totaling 22 chapters, divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower volumes, following Lin Yi's Song arrangement. Upon completion, I titled it *Xin Dian* (Heart Canon), meaning seeking the ancients' hearts with my own heart to find their core principles. Yet, Liu's dragon-taming and the Song man carving wood, though exhausting effort, yielded nothing. How do I know my annotation won't fall into superficiality or narrowness? I hope wise men will point out my flaws and teach me. Spring of Youzheng Jiyi, Yinhe Shanren You Yi inscribed under a small pavilion beneath a tree in Beiguo.
Xu Dachun Preface: Today, those praising medical masters speak of the Four Great Masters: first Zhongjing, then Hejian, then Dongyuan, then Danxi. They say Zhongjing specialized in Shanghan. Since the Ming Dynasty, no one has challenged this. However, I have examined that since Shennong wrote *Ben Cao*, sages emerged, establishing the system of Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Courier, distinguishing sizes, odd, and even numbers. Thus, formulas were named instead of just herbs, as seen in *Nei Jing* with formulas like Banxia Shumi. By the Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin's decoctions appeared. Decoction methods were high and flourishing, not starting with Yi Yin. Figures like Bian Que and Cang Gong excelled in secret formulas, but their books did not survive. Only Zhang Zhongjing alone inherited classic formulas and synthesized them, connecting to Xuanyuan Huangdi and combining various schools. His writings were not singular. What remains are *Jin Gui Yao Lue* and *Shanghan Lun*. Before the Song Dynasty, they were one book. After Lin Yi's editing, they were split. Shanghan is just one disease among many. Zhongjing dedicated a book to it because its transformations are complex and misdiagnoses are common, as shown in his preface. Moreover, the 113 formulas in *Shanghan Lun* were extracted from miscellaneous disease formulas, and Shanghan formulas can treat miscellaneous diseases. Zhongjing's works are clear. The other three masters, while innovative, are far removed from Zhongjing. Grouping them together is inappropriate, let alone saying Zhongjing specialized only in Shanghan. Alas! Can this be called reading Zhongjing? *Jin Gui Yao Lue* is precisely Zhongjing's book on treating miscellaneous diseases. Its formulas need not all be Zhongjing's; they are classic formulas passed down through sages. Zhongjing compiled them, adding his own modifications. How do we know? For example, Gualou Guizhi Tang in Volume 1 is Guizhi Tang plus Gualou. But it is not called Guizhi Jia Gualou Tang, implying the ancient formula already had this name. Guizhi Jia Longgu Muli Tang in Volume 6 is Guizhi Tang plus Longgu and Muli. It is not given a new name, implying Guizhi Tang is ancient, and Longgu/Muli are Zhongjing's additions. Such examples are countless. Thus, the only verifiable healing methods of ancient sages are these two books, truly the ancestors of classic formulas, worthy of standing with *Ling Shu* and *Su Wen*. If one is committed to this path, can one ignore this? Some say: Ancient formulas cannot treat modern diseases. Using Zhongjing's formulas for modern diseases yields little effect and much harm. This is lamentable. Zhongjing's formulas are like a powerful crossbow. If hitting the target, it pierces leather instantly. If missing, the stronger the bow, the further the arrow goes from the target. It is strange for the archer to blame the bow rather than his aim. If the diagnosis is correct but slight modifications fail, it is because materia medica has changed. Only Shennong's *Ben Jing* captures the true nature of herbs. Ancient formulas followed this. Post-Jin/Tang physicians added personal biases. When Zhang Jiegu appeared, influences merged and debated, losing the orthodox transmission. Later users found it hard to resist changes. Thus, "ancient formulas cannot treat modern diseases" became accepted truth. Alas! Heaven and earth remain the same, humans and things remain the same. If human Qi is thin, material nature is also thin. Are humans new while herbs remain old? Therefore, to use Zhongjing's formulas, one must learn antiquity, exhaust classics, differentiate syndromes, and know herbs before practicing. Jun You in Jingxian is a learned man, fond of this art since youth. His treatments, based on Zhongjing, often succeed miraculously. He laments the decline of ancient learning and fears this principle will fall. Thus, he took *Jin Gui Yao Lue*, expounded righteous meanings, studied day and night, exploring depths and roots, taking ten winters and summers to complete. Its logic is clear, guidance obvious, words concise yet complete in meaning, language simple yet conveying the purport. Though the book's mysteries are inexhaustible, advancing from here makes entering Zhongjing's hall easy. You Jun shares my interests and asked for a preface. Reading his book moved me greatly. So I write down my usual discussions at the beginning. You Jun's intent in annotating this book is likely this. October of Renzi, 10th Year of Yongzheng, Xu Dachun of Songling wrote.
[Huang Yuanyu *Jin Gui Xuan Jie*] 22 Volumes. Not seen.
Siku Quanshu Summary: Written by Huang Yuanyu of the Qing Dynasty. Huang believed Zhang Ji wrote *Jin Gui Yu Han Jing* to treat internal injuries and miscellaneous diseases, emphasizing supporting Yang Qi as the root of transformation. Since Yin-nourishing theories prevailed, the principle of Yang rising from Yin and Yin descending from Yang remained unexplained. Huang elaborated on this to create this book, detailing four diagnostic methods and nine pulse positions.

Li Dou said: Li Jun, courtesy name Zhensheng, mastered Zhongjing's methods. A relative of Fangbo suffered from Shanghan presenting Yangming syndrome. Physicians treated it with cold-cold agents for over a month, worsening the condition. Fangbo invited Jun to diagnose. Jun said: This is a cold syndrome, suitable for warming the middle. Using 1 liang of Fuzi made the condition worse, near death. Jun said: The dose was light. Increase Fuzi to 2 liang, taken with 2 liang of Renshen. Other doctors objected. Jun said: I see it clearly. Try sitting here and waiting. They forced him to take it. By the next day, he recovered completely. Jun told the doctors: Distinguishing cold/heat relies on pulse movement. This pulse moves but lags, indicating internal cold and external heat, as Zhongjing stated. You missed it. His *Jin Gui Yao Lue Zhu* revealed much previously unknown. (*Yangzhou Huafang Lu*)

Note: Zhu Guangbei, courtesy name Junming, origin unknown. The book's compilation date is unknown. The arrangement contradicts the table of contents. Margins contain corrections, dots, circles, and vermilion marks. No preface or colophon. It appears unfinished and hasty. Last year, Wu Bozhai came. Okada Yoshishige, a physician from Kameyama, accompanied Makino Kazushige (Seiketsu) from the Governor-General to Bei Yang. He bought this book at a high price. I borrowed it quickly. The annotations contain insights opening up truths not previously discussed. I copied it for preservation. Yoshishige's real name was Shunyi, elegant and scholarly, also fond of antiquities.
