青主先生于明季时,以诸生伏阙上书,讼袁临侯冤事,寻得白。当时义声动天下,《马文甬义士传》比之
裴瑜、魏邵。国变后,隐居崛HT 山中,四方仰望丰采。己未鸿词之荐,先生坚卧不赴,有司敦促就道,先生卒守介节,
圣祖仁皇帝鉴
其诚,降旨∶傅山文学素着,念其年迈,从优加衔,以示恩荣。遂授内阁中书,听其回籍。盖其高尚之志,已久为圣
天子所心重矣。而世之称者,乃盛传其字学与医术,不已细哉!字为六艺之一,先生固尝究心。若医者,先生所以晦迹
而逃名者也,而名即随之,抑可奇矣。且夫医亦何可易言。自后汉张仲景创立方书以来,凡二千年,专门名家,罕有穷
其奥者。先生以余事及之,遽通乎神。余读《兼济堂文集》并《觚剩》诸书,记先生秩事∶其诊疾也微而臧;其用方也
奇而法,有非东垣、丹溪诸人所能及者。昔人称张仲景有神思而乏高韵,故以方术名。先生即擅高韵,又饶精思,贤者
不可测如是耶!向闻先生有手着女科并产后书二册,未之见也。近得抄本于友人处。乙酉适世兄王奎章来省试,具道李
子缉中贤。至丙戌冬,果寄资命付剞劂,甚德事也。故乐为序而行之,并述先生生平大节,及圣朝广大之典,不禁为之
掩卷而三叹也。
道光丁亥夏五月丹崖张凤翔题
Mr. Fu Shan lived during the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, as a *shengyuan* (licentiate), he petitioned at the palace gates to appeal for the injustice suffered by Yuan Linhou (Yuan Jixian), and his case was eventually vindicated. The righteous reputation of that time shook the world; the *Biography of Righteous Gentleman Ma Wenyong* compared him to Pei Yu and Wei Shao. After the fall of the dynasty, he secluded himself in Juwei Mountain, where people from all directions admired his demeanor. In the year Jiwei (1679), when recommended for the "Bo Xue Hong Ci" (Learned and Eloquent) examination, Mr. Fu firmly refused to attend due to illness. When local officials urged him to set out, he steadfastly maintained his noble integrity. Emperor Renzong (Kangxi), perceiving his sincerity, issued an edict: "Fu Shan is renowned for his literary achievements. Considering his advanced age, he shall be granted an honorary title with preferential treatment to show imperial favor." Thus, he was appointed as a Zhongshu (Secretariat Draughtsman) and permitted to return to his hometown. His lofty aspirations had long been esteemed by the wise sovereign. However, what the world widely praised were merely his calligraphy and medical skills—was this not too trivial? Calligraphy is one of the Six Arts, and Mr. Fu had indeed studied it diligently. As for medicine, it was a means for him to conceal his identity and avoid fame, yet fame followed him anyway, which is truly remarkable. Moreover, how can medicine be discussed lightly? Since Zhang Zhongjing of the Later Han Dynasty established the foundations of formula literature, two millennia have passed. Among those who specialized in the field, few have exhausted its profundities. Mr. Fu, treating it as a secondary pursuit, quickly attained divine mastery. Having read the *Jianji Tang Collected Works* and *Gu Sheng*, I recorded Mr. Fu's deeds: his diagnosis of diseases was subtle and appropriate; his use of formulas was ingenious yet rule-bound, surpassing what could be achieved by figures such as Li Dongyuan and Zhu Danxi. It was said that Zhang Zhongjing possessed spiritual insight but lacked elegant charm, hence he became famous for his medical arts. Mr. Fu, however, excelled in both elegance and profound thought. How unfathomable are the sages! Previously, I heard that Mr. Fu had handwritten manuscripts on Gynecology and Postpartum Care, two volumes, but I had never seen them. Recently, I obtained a copy from a friend. In the year Yiyi (1685), when my friend's son, Wang Kuizhang, came to the provincial capital for the civil service examination, he spoke extensively of the virtue of Li Zijizhong. By the winter of Bingxu (1686), funds were indeed sent to commission the printing. This is a meritorious deed. Therefore, I am pleased to write a preface and publish these works, recounting the major events of Mr. Fu's life and the magnanimous policies of the current dynasty, unable to help but sigh repeatedly after closing the book.
