The principles of medicine are profound. They can be used to nourish life, preserve the body, fulfill one's natural lifespan, and benefit the world and future generations; this is not something that those with shallow understanding can achieve.
Those who master this art can communicate with the divine, rival the creative forces of nature, and possess the miraculous ability to restore the dead to life. The operation of their spirit must have a silent assistance in the unseen realm, effectively ending illness (mò), thereby passing down to posterity. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was He Huan; in the Qin Dynasty, Bian Que; in the Han Dynasty, Cang Gong; in the Wei Kingdom, Hua Tuo; in the Song Dynasty, Xu Wenbo; and in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao. All were miraculously outstanding, surpassing ordinary expectations, following one after another, with talents emerging in every generation. However, since then, their subtleties have not been widely transmitted. Occasionally, there are those capable of it, but they can be counted on one hand. Why were the ancients so skillful, while modern people fall short?
I have often pondered this. The ancients used medicine to save people, so Heaven bestowed its Dao upon them, enabling them to universally benefit all sentient beings. Later generations used medicine to seek profit, so Heaven withheld its techniques, not granting them lightly; this is beyond doubt. At the age of eleven, I suffered consecutive family tragedies: my father died from an epidemic disease, and my mother died from Qi Zhong (a sudden disorder of Qi flow). Within a hundred days, I lost both parents. Grieving deeply, I realized there were no good physicians in my locality, leaving me helpless and awaiting death. Upon reaching adulthood, I deliberately studied medical texts, vowing to dedicate myself to saving lives.
In the unseen realm... [Text fragment] titled *Puji Benshi Fang* (General Benefit Formulas Based on Personal Experience). Since I am dedicated to healing...
