上录诸方，皆古人成案，各有深意存焉。盖人之病，或有证同而因异，或有因同而证异；
或有因证似是而非；或有因证似非而是者。故所贵在尽察因证之常变，及探索古人所以立方
之绳则，则我亦可以效法处方，矧有古方之可循者乎。否则（颐）惧其操方以希合也。合，
其幸；不合，且以病试方矣。（颐）窃于此，颇三致意。

The formulas recorded above are all established cases from ancient times, each containing profound meaning. Generally, patients' diseases may have identical symptoms but different causes, or identical causes but different symptoms; some causes and symptoms appear similar yet are distinct, while others appear distinct yet are similar. Therefore, the key lies in thoroughly investigating the normal variations of causes and symptoms, and exploring the principles behind the ancients' formulation of prescriptions. Then we can emulate and prescribe accordingly, especially when following existing ancient formulas. Otherwise, I fear that holding a formula to fit the condition blindly. If it fits, it is fortunate; if it does not, the patient becomes a test subject for the formula. I have paid considerable attention to this matter.
