〔高氏（鼓峰）医家心法〕（己任编作四明心法）一卷（己任编作三卷）存
The recluse Jin Ruxuan frequently suffered from critical illnesses. He often worried that the properties of medicines were mostly biased, and slight negligence could lead to harm to people. Therefore, he wrote *Xue Sheng Shu* (Cautionary Art of Medicine) to elucidate its purport.
[Gu Shi (Anonymous) *Yantai Yi An* (Medical Cases from Yantai)] Not found.
Mao Qiling wrote a preface stating: Cang Gong learned the medical arts of Bian Que from Gongcheng Yang Qing. When he was at home, the Emperor of Han once examined the cases where his treatments were effective and recorded them in a book. This marks the origin of subsequent medical case records. Mr. Gu treated patients with a success rate of nine out of ten. Although such capable individuals exist in the world, over time, successes and failures became balanced. People tend to highlight his failures while ignoring his successes. Moreover, in the realm of herbal decoctions, relying on routine for efficacy, successes and failures originally lack fixed forms. How can one meticulously verify his successes and record them? However, Mr. Gu from Yunjian is different. He governed four branches of learning using the principles of the Classics, serving as a selector of candidates, causing much discussion in the capital. It was heard that he excelled in medicine. During his residence, whenever he achieved results in treating people, he was praised as a "Sage Confucian." His reputation surpassed that of Cui Changshi and Li Qingzi. We tentatively requested his summons, and he agreed to go because his lodging was lonely and quiet. However, the capital had many official and private physicians, gathering the most skilled healers from across the country, renting spaces among them. From officials serving in the inner court to those lingering near the residences of the favored, they were numerous. Even if there were imperial edicts for inquiry and verification, there were other officials attending to him on the left and right, and Mr. Gu was not such a person. Yet, wherever he went, he brought cures, and there were even cases where diseases were cured by his medicine, compiled into volumes. The highest doctors treat the state; the next best treat individuals—a fact known to all. Mr. Gu spent his life reading and discussing the Dao, studying for civil service examinations. Originally, he could not penetrate the subtleties of Yin and Yang or adjust and supplement them. Yet, when he attempted governance in prefectures, suddenly bearing responsibility for the people, how could his flexibility and encouragement fully realize his ambitions? But in the blink of an eye, determining life and death, turning things around in an instant, competing with the Creator for authority—this is also a great joy for us Confucians in our charitable acts. As for the verifiable cases, my family members are already listed among them. What wonder is there in the case of the woman named Bo You? (From *Xihe Heji*)
[Yu Shi (Yuandu) *Yong Yao Xin Fa* (Core Methods of Medication)] Not found.
Hua Ximin wrote a preface stating: In my spare time from preparing for the civil service exams, I enjoyed reading books on Qi Huang (traditional Chinese medicine) and enjoying conversations with practitioners of Qi Huang. Everyone speaks differently. Among those whose learning is based on evidence and does not use exaggerated words to deceive the world, none surpass my father-in-law, Mr. Yu Yuandu. Mr. Yu said: The method of treating disease lies in Observation (Wang), Listening/Smelling (Wen), Inquiry (Wen), and Palpation (Qie). Palpation probes the internal condition; Observation, Listening, and Inquiry exhaust the external manifestations. Since the condition is hidden and the manifestation is obvious, Observation, Listening, and Inquiry should precede Palpation. Nowadays, people love to discuss pulse diagnosis but neglect syndrome differentiation, which is a flaw. Mr. Yu's learning was transmitted from the strange person Jing Jizi, who treated hundreds of patients without error. He once told me: One disease has several variations in syndromes; one syndrome has several variations in signs. Only after recognizing the syndrome and examining the signs can medication be used. Having heard all his theories on the variations of syndromes and signs, I retired and organized these words into a volume. I privately believe this can exhaust the understanding of human diseases and exhaust the methods of our medicines. Named *Yong Yao Xin Fa*, I copied two volumes: one given to my son Jia, and one to my cousin. (From *Yanlv Ge Ji*)
[Wang Shi (Menglan) *Mifang Jiyan* (Collection of Verified Secret Prescriptions)] 2 Volumes. Extant.
Autobiographical Preface roughly states: There have been many secret formulas in recent times. But secrets are not necessarily effective; why seek secrecy if one is effective? People initially sought efficacy through secrecy, and later, due to efficacy, became even more secretive. Even those published to the world are the least secret. Often worrying about whether some are effective or not, and unable to collect only those repeatedly verified while discarding the unverified, the secret ones become more secret, and the effective ones do not immediately show efficacy. This is why I undertook this task. By "Secret Formula," I mean transmitting what others do not transmit. By "Collected Verification," I mean testing what others have repeatedly tested. Unsecret and unverified ones are generally not collected. Collected ones must be secret; secret ones must be verified. Only those that are secret and verified are commissioned for printing to widely disseminate them. Wang Menglan, Master of Xing'an in Renhe, respectfully inscribed.
[Jiang Shi (Shiji) *Yizhong Shuo Yue* (Brief Discussion on the Medical Canon)] 6 Volumes. Extant.
Autobiographical Preface states: At age twelve, my late mother, Lady Zhou, passed away. My late father, Jun Fu, closed his door to study, claiming righteousness, and never spoke of money. Thus, our family was very poor. We once stayed at the home of my uncle Zi Pei, who cared for and educated me greatly. At that time, waking early with longing thoughts, I missed relatives suffering from serious illnesses. In my spare time from reading, I occasionally browsed medical books. My father then said to me, "Do you have an interest in this? Ancients who could not become good chancellors often wished to be good doctors. Indeed, the merit of a good chancellor and a good doctor are equal. If you can master it, you can treat yourself and others, which is also the path of benefiting oneself and others taught in Buddhist scriptures." I bowed to receive his instruction, deeply thanking him for my dullness. Later, experiencing great changes, I stayed south of Qionglong Mountain. When people were ill, I adjusted prescriptions for them according to the formula, and the effects were immediate. Consequently, people knocking on my door for prescriptions were almost constant. I thought that although ancient medical cases each reached their own brilliance, the discussions were diverse and complex, making them hard to fathom, leading to sighs like those of Yang Zhu. Therefore, at morning windows and evening desks, I explored the source of the spirit, extensively studied various books, and refined them to perfection, writing *Shanju Shu* (Discourses from Mountain Dwelling) in four volumes. It contains discussions and prescriptions, classics and variations, showing considerable effort. However, lacking resources to print it, it remained on the shelf for a long time. This spring, Mr. Gongxunshu accidentally visited my study, saw it, and read it. He said, "You have this but do not share it with others; is this not like hiding treasure and losing one's state? Moreover, your father's words remain. Have you forgotten them?" I humbly apologized again. With nothing to do in the long summer, I simplified the essentials from *Shanju Shu* as the main content. Prescriptions were adjusted according to syndromes: one syndrome, one prescription, to show constancy; supplementary discussions on adjustments to show variability. Compiled into colloquial sentences, named *Shuo Yue*, hoping that those learning Qi Huang arts can find the source of convergence and avoid the loss of tediousness. If one claims to save lives with merit equal to regulating primordial energy, I dare not accept such praise. Summer, April, Kangxi 2nd Year. Jiang Shiji, courtesy name Zhongfang, self-styled Ziliaohan of Guwu, recorded.

You Cheng wrote a preface roughly stating: Mr. is the maternal grandson of Zhou Zhongjie. His family lived in Loujiang for generations but moved to Jinchang due to his mother. At a bend in Tongjing, he often accepted invitations from patients, traveling between Song and Zhe. He tacitly understood the divine wisdom of past sages and sought guidance from strange persons. With abundant clinical experience, he saved countless lives. Carrying *Yizhong Xiaobu* (Minor Supplement to the Medical Canon) in nine volumes in his bag, prioritizing laws/methods first, then discussing prescriptions. One law can treat multiple diseases; one disease involves various laws. It is truly a ladder to *Lingshu* and *Suwen*, and a guide for later learners. He also wrote *Tongyi Waizhi* (General External Treatment) in one volume, curing diseases of the head, face, hands, feet, nine orifices, skin, and hair without medication. I sighed and said: Such meticulous mind and broad learning! Treating disease is like governing a state; using medicine is like deploying troops. Decoctions and pills are internal attacks; applications and fumigations are external responses. Attacking diseases thus, what disease cannot be cured? Alas, white horses pass quickly. Many who held high offices rot like grass and trees. Mr. established this immortal achievement. Is it merely for one person south of the Great River? I knew he was no ordinary person.
[Zhu Shi (Fengtai) *Yixue Jiyao* (Essentials of Medical Learning)] 9 Volumes. Extant.
[Zhang Shi (Jieshi) *Zimeng Yijing* (Medical Path for Beginners)] 3 Volumes. Extant.
Introduction states: A doctor is intent. In breathing, one holds the power of life and death; using medicine preserves the patient's life. Can one narrate exhaustively while being careless in intent? I have verified this myself. If intent is negligent during clinical practice, one fails the patient significantly. Why? Facing syndromes, one must value the signs of death. Where there is a spark of vitality, there is a doctor full of vitality who can cure severe diseases. Those practicing this art should ask themselves: Have they exhausted narration? Have they grasped clinical intent? Do they match disease and pulse? Are they accurate in deficiency and excess? Do they weigh severity? Do they know the secret of life and death? Facing the patient, is there no doubt in their heart? Swearing to heaven and gods, is there no shame in their heart? Test yourself: If I can believe in this, I dare to wield the authority of benevolent heart and benevolent art. This comes from breaking one's arm three times (gaining extensive experience). There are cases of spiritual deficiency unsuitable for tonification, excessive fire unsuitable for draining, excessive phlegm unsuitable for emesis, cough/wheezing unsuitable for stopping cough, pain unsuitable for pain relief, numbness unsuitable for dispelling wind, hiccups/vomiting unsuitable for stopping vomiting, blood loss unsuitable for stopping bleeding, cold/flu unsuitable for sweating, abdominal distension unsuitable for guiding out, upper body disease unsuitable for descending, lower body disease unsuitable for ascending, slow disease urgent to treat, urgent disease slow to treat, pulse not matching disease, disease not receiving medicine, medicine taken but not cured, no medicine taken but self-cured. Such conditions must be observed. Spiritual deficiency unsuitable for tonification: evil is strong, yet deficiency fears tonification. Excessive fire unsuitable for draining: fire is stimulated and becomes fiercer. Excessive phlegm unsuitable for emesis: qi hangs up and phlegm generates. Cough/wheezing unsuitable for stopping cough: stopping cough causes lung contraction. Pain unsuitable for pain relief: obstructing qi prevents extension. Numbness unsuitable for dispelling wind: consuming blood generates bi-syndrome. Hiccups/vomiting unsuitable for stopping vomiting: retaining disease contracts spleen qi. Blood loss unsuitable for stopping bleeding: stasis accumulates into consumption. Cold/flu unsuitable for sweating: weak qi fears danger. Abdominal distension unsuitable for guiding out: strictness damages stomach. Upper body disease unsuitable for descending: fear of toxin entering organs. Lower body disease unsuitable for ascending: fear of toxin rising. Slow disease urgent to treat: fear of subsequent transformation. Urgent disease slow to treat: harsh drugs cannot support. Pulse not matching disease: failure to examine carefully. Disease not receiving medicine: self-reflection on medical practice. Medicine taken but not cured: patient's spirit is short. No medicine taken but self-cured: encountering mediocre doctors. Ultimately, modern practitioners fail to check their own mental flaws while indiscriminately treating others' physical ailments. Claiming to fill ranks in Xuanyuan and Qibo's tradition, no wonder they do not understand classics. The complexity of secret blue bags makes it hard for moderns to follow. Few habits are like no habits. It is not for Confucians to excel after exams. I suffered disaster, obtained dream realms, and wrote down my lifelong skills into volumes. Deemed worthy by spirits and humans, named *Zimeng Yijing*. This dispels difficulties with a brush, eliminating long days in prison. Disciples recorded and printed it, daring to say it offers a small supplement to Qi Huang. Alas, rather than being unlearned and skillless, reading *Zimeng Yijing*—would it harm anyone's life? Doctor is intent. If following intent, clinical changes yield miraculous effects. I do not know how many curse or blame me.
[Cheng Shi (Lin) *Jide Fang* (Immediately Obtained Prescriptions)] Not found.
You Tong wrote a preface stating: My friend, Grand Secretary Jiang Huchen, once wrote *Jiang Shuo*. Half of it consists of copied secret prescriptions, unseen by the world. I recorded them with surprise and questioned him: "Are your prescriptions from hearsay or have you tested them?" Jiang smiled and said, "I have not tested them. Previously, I was prone to illness and often begged for prescriptions. Those offering prescriptions came daily. I liked their ideas as they could save people, so I wrote them down. Whether effective or not is unknown." I said, "If so, they are merely Jiang's prescriptions. A son learning lute must come from Ya Kuang's school; a son learning calligraphy must enter Zhong Wang's room. But if playing strings forgets fingering, or holding a brush mistakes strokes, it only amuses drowning men without harm. If learning medicine costs money, can one ask others to test it? Fortunately, you have not learned medicine, and people may not trust you." Jiang laughed and stopped. Mr. Cheng Yunlai of Xin'an, I knew his name but had not met him. Zhou Yusan, a student, brought his compiled *Jide Fang* for me to see, intending to print it, and asked for a word. I am not Bian Que; how could I know medical intent? But opening the book, it roughly collects ancient verified prescriptions, selecting the simplest. Cheng has gained experience through repeated failures (three broken arms). Narrating without creating, his caution is such. Considering remote villages and inns, sudden cold and heat, unable to prepare moxa for three years or seek mild remedies from afar, this book is hung at the elbow, close at hand, achieving twice the result with half the effort. The technique is excellent, the heart bitter. Divine illumination depends on the individual. Though I dare not guarantee efficacy, as Mr. says, staying home yields immediate results. Even with discrepancies, it harms no one. This is indeed a solid argument. I told Zhou, who asked for more. I joked: Formerly Fan Wuzi was ill and sought prescriptions from Zhang Zhan. Zhang gave six items: reduce reading one, reduce thinking two, focus inward three, simplify outward observation four, rise early five, sleep early six. Fan took it once and recovered. This is also our family's immediate remedy. Hopefully, reply to Mr. Cheng with this. When the book is done, mail it to Jiang. Jiang will happily say: "You Tong deceives me!" For such prescriptions, I will write them in *Jiang Shuo*. (From *Xitang Zazu Erji*)
[*Yi Xia Zhi Yan* (Casual Words on Medical Leisure)] Not found.
You Tong wrote a preface stating: Mr. Cheng Yunlai of Xin'an compiled *Jide Fang*, which I prefaced and published. After a long time, he showed me *Yi Xia Zhi Yan*. Reading it, I laughed and said: "Heh, how can a doctor have leisure? I know the so-called famous doctors of the world. They rise to receive visits; shoes fill the doorway. Entering their room, asking about illness, prescribing medicine, and leaving. Scholars inviting with notes register names, eat at noon, leave in sedan chairs, stop at doors, wait for the host's expression, finish socializing, take pen and paper to decide the case, give to the messenger. Return to consult disciples, combine ingredients. Return at dusk, medicine bag full. Pediatricians stay indoors during day, knock at night, look by candlelight, rush away like postal runners, resting only when the water clock empties. Intercepted on roads or waited at doors, everyone welcomes them, regretting their lateness. Inferior doctors envy them. Regardless of patient numbers, they ride carriages with servants, parade through markets, exhausting the whole day. Onlookers marvel: 'This man is very busy; he must be a famous doctor.' How can a doctor have leisure?" Mr. said: "Yes, no. If a doctor is not leisurely, how can he be good? Diseases vary infinitely; medicines vary infinitely. Thus, unify with will, assist with qi, hold with reason, guard with spirit. Be silent to connect, rest to wander. Can this be managed with haste? Treating disease is like managing troops. Luanzhen praised the Jin army: 'Preferring leisure to beat drums and advance.' Hence victory at Yanling. Zhuge Liang's feather fan, Xie Ai's folding chair, Cai Zun's pitch-pot, Anshi's gambling villa—all represent leisure. My treatment of disease is the same." Some said: "Since you are leisurely, you should write a book of questions and answers, why casual words?" I heard Xu Zi say: Doctor is intent. What intent understands cannot be spoken. So Mr.'s *Jide Fang* narrates without creating. His casual words encompass heaven and earth, gather all things, vast and free, discussing hardness-whiteness and identity-difference. Not speaking of medicine, yet medicine is implied. The story of wheel-making connects to reading; the meaning of slaughtering ox advances health preservation. Observing casual words, half the questions and answers are understood. *Rites of Zhou* states: Perfect medical practice is top grade; one mistake second; two mistakes third; four mistakes lowest. None achieve immediate success. Mr.'s immediate success is due to his leisure. (From *Xitang Zazu Erji*.)

Autobiographical Preface roughly states: I am not smart. Since childhood, besides reading, I loved the learning of Xuanyuan and Qibo. I gathered their essentials, summarized their treatments, and compiled *Yiyue Xiangui*. Then, extensively studying books, drawing their essence, I named it *Yimen Boyao*. Still unfinished, I will publish them sequentially and seek correction from experts. For now, I print *Jijiu Weizheng Jianbian Yanfang* to help the poor and aid emergencies. Benevolent gentlemen have appreciated it. But pearls are still missing, along with new discoveries and previously obtained secret formulas, as well as mild cases. Out of reluctance to discard them, I did not detail them, fearing omissions when needed. This collection supplements the incomplete, continues the whole, opens secrets, like entering a treasure mountain, allowing free use. Is it not delightful? Lacking strength to continue printing, Old Man Deng Zhongzhen, a gentleman of high conduct, brave in doing good and tireless, discussed this with me. He firmly said: "The Records say: Do not impose on others what you dislike. What pleases you pleases me, and all people. How can such giving stop?" He joined with Old Man Zhang Lingyi to fund printing, spreading both sets together. Their open and impartial heart, feeling of unity, I witnessed personally. How fortunate.

Xu Yiguan Wenwu wrote a preface roughly stating: In the Yi Mao year of the Kangxi reign of our dynasty, there was Mr. Luo Dongmei of Xin'an, a contemporary renowned scholar. He produced many works, unfortunately not all published. Only *Gujin Mingyi Fanglun* (4 vols) and *Gujin Minghui Huicui* (8 vols) circulated. The former was already printed on woodblocks, benefiting later learners. The latter, a manuscript, was a family heirloom of Wen Zhi's ancestor. This book is based on *Lingshu* and *Suwen*, verified against clinical conditions, and compiled. It was painstakingly evaluated by Mr. Luo and reviewed by Mr. Ke Yunbo of Cixi. It can be called a ferry for saving the world and the essence of medicine. Learning is a public matter of the world; how can it be private to oneself and kept secret at home? Therefore, in mid-spring of the Jiwei year of Jiaqing, consulted with Tao's Baijun Tang, carved blocks for circulation, to share with friends, hoping practitioners can explore its subtleties and aim for profound understanding.
Anonymous Postscript states: Mr Dansheng, surname Luo, name Mei, from Xin'an, resided in Yushan. As a famous Confucian, he also practiced Qi Huang arts. He produced rich writings. Only *Mingyi Fanglun* has been published. This book collects the essence of former sages, pure and not deviant. Only those with keen eyes and hands can select perfectly. In spring of Gengchen, I got it from a friend's study, delighted to copy it, but was too lazy. Completed in autumn of Xinsi. Many errors exist; though corrected slightly,难免 criticism of textual corruption. Good readers should appreciate its meaning and trace it.
Note: The manuscript is also 8 volumes, with an anonymous postscript. In Ding Si of Kansei era, my father obtained it from Pinghe, Governor of Nagasaki. My father said: This was recorded by someone in mid-Qianlong. According to this text, Luo Meizi is Dansheng. The printed edition calls him Dongmei earlier, likely a variant character.
