To treat wrist fractures, tendon injuries, and unbearable pain, use one *jin* (approx. 500g) of fresh *Rehmanniae Radix* (Sheng Dihuang, 生地黄), chopped, mixed with one *jin* of melon ginger lees and four *liang* (approx. 125g) of fresh *Zingiberis Rhizoma* (Shengjiang, 生姜), chopped. Stir-fry together until evenly hot, wrap in cloth, and apply as a compress to the fracture site; replace when it cools. Once, someone suffered a fracture and was about to slaughter a live turtle for treatment. Suddenly, the patient dreamed that the turtle said, "Do not harm me; I have a miraculous prescription to heal you." This prescription was received in the dream (from *Ben Shi Fang*).

Traumatic injuries causing blood stasis stagnation and qi obstruction result in blocked orifices and inevitable constipation. Robust patients may take *Xixin San* (Heart-Cleansing Powder); elderly or weak patients may take *Qisheng Binglang Wan* (Seven-Sage Areca Nut Pill). In such cases, one must inquire about the condition of the zang-fu organs and the severity of pain at the impact site. If the injury causes severe pain and there is no bowel movement for two to three days, purgatives may then be used. Use the aforementioned two formulas. If there is no constipation and the pain is not intense, these should not be taken; instead, herbs such as *Myrrha* (Moyao, 没药), *Olibanum* (Ruxiang, 乳香), and *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Danggui, 当归) are appropriate (from *Yi Yu*).

Shi Shijun, a magistrate from Chang'an, was once walking on a major thoroughfare when someone called out his surname and rank from behind, saying, "I seek nothing from others, but knowing you are in difficulty, I have come to save you." He handed Shi a scroll, saying, "Use this when in need." It was a book of prescriptions for treating fractures and internal/external injuries. The following year, while hurrying to court, his horse was kicked by another horse, causing him to fall and break his leg and arm. His family hastily prepared this medicine, administering it orally while bandaging the wounds. By midnight, the pain ceased, and later his limbs were as firm and functional as before the injury. The formula originates from *Liang Fang*, using half a *liang* each of *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Chuan Danggui, 川当归) and *Cerussa* (Qianfen, 铅粉), and two *qian* of *Borax* (Pengsha, 硼砂), ground finely together. Mix with concentrated decoction of *Sappanwood* (Sumu, 苏木) and take one large spoonful. For injuries above the waist, eat half a bowl of plain congee first, then take the medicine; for injuries below the waist, take the medicine first, then eat. Continue to sip *Sappanwood* juice frequently. Alternatively, make rice congee, mix with the medicinal powder, spread on paper or silk, and apply as a dressing to the injury site. If bones are shattered, fix them with bamboo or wooden splints, then wrap with paper or clothing. Its efficacy is thus remarkable, so it is recorded here for dissemination.

Chen Gongsong, a citizen of Jingkou in Tingzhou, was very devout in reciting Guanyin. In the early Qingyuan era, he fell and broke a leg while traveling. Enduring the pain, he cried out to the Bodhisattva. After three days and nights, he dreamed of a monk carrying a staff and alms bowl who visited him and asked about his suffering. Chen replied, "Unfortunately, I broke my leg. Being poor, I cannot afford to consult a doctor, so I can only pray to Buddha." The monk said, "Do not worry excessively. I have a prescription for bone-setting paste which will cure you." Chen bought mung bean flour, stir-fried it in a new iron wok until it turned a true purple color, then mixed it with well water to form a thin paste. This was applied thickly over the injured area, ensuring full coverage, covered with white paper, and bound firmly with fir wood strips. The effect was miraculous, requiring no other agents. Upon finishing speaking, the monk vanished, and Chen woke up. He prepared and used the remedy according to the instructions and recovered.
