〔黄帝素问遗篇〕宋史四卷 佚
〔赵简王补刊素问遗篇〕明史一卷 存
林亿等曰。刺法论。本病论。二篇。亡在王冰注之前。按病能论篇末王冰注曰。世本既阙第七二篇。谓此
二篇也。而今世有素问亡篇及昭明隐旨论。以为此二篇。托名王冰为注。辞理鄙陋。无足取者。
马莳曰。刺法本病二篇。正本所遗。别有素问遗篇。其此。其本病论。正所以发明刺法论之义。内有折其
郁气。资其化源等语。大义见六元正纪大论中。但彼则引而不发。至此二篇。始有下手处。惟升之不前。降之不
入。故成五郁。惟不退位。故不迁正。司天不得迁正。则刚失守。而后三年成五疫。司地不得迁正。则柔失守。
而后三年成五疠。后世不知司天在泉。天之右施。地之左施。及治五郁者。以其不知此二篇升降之义也。不能治
疫疠者。以其不知二篇退位迁正。刚柔失守之义也。但不知始自何代。将此二篇。窃出私传。不入官本。斯人者
其无后乎。
明史曰。世传素问王冰注本。中有缺篇。简王得全本补之。
按先子曰。今所传遗篇一卷。此乃王冰以后人所托而作。经注一律。出于一人之手。辞理浅薄。不足取。
而马氏称之。亦何不思之甚

【黄帝素问遗篇】宋代史书著录为四卷,已失传。
【赵简王补刊素问遗篇】明代史书著录为一卷,现存。
林亿等人说:《刺法论》和《本病论》这两篇,在王冰(唐代医家,曾注《黄帝内经素问》)作注之前就已经亡佚了。据《病能论》篇末王冰的注释所说:“世间的版本既然缺失了第七十二篇,指的就是这两篇。”然而现在世间流传着《素问亡篇》及《昭明隐旨论》,人们认为这就是那两篇,假托王冰之名作了注释,但文辞粗俗浅陋,没有什么可取之处。
马莳说:《刺法》和《本病》这两篇,是原本所遗失的,另有《素问遗篇》,指的就是这两篇。《本病论》正是用来阐明《刺法论》义理的。其中包含“折其郁气”、“资其化源”等语句,大义见于《六元正纪大论》中。但在《六元正纪大论》中只是引而不发,直到这两篇,才开始有具体的施治入手之处。只有气机升之不前、降之不入,才会形成五郁;只有气位不退,才不会迁正。司天之气如果不能迁正,就会导致刚柔失守,三年之后就会形成五疫;在泉之气如果不能迁正,也会导致刚柔失守,三年之后就会形成五疠。后世之所以不懂得司天在泉、天之右施、地之左施以及治疗五郁的方法,是因为他们不知道这两篇关于升降的义理;之所以不能治疗疫疠,是因为他们不知道这两篇关于退位迁正、刚柔失守的义理。只是不知道从哪个朝代开始,有人将这两篇私自窃取传出,不收入官方版本,这种人恐怕会断子绝孙吧。
明代史书说:世间流传的王冰注本《素问》中有缺少的篇章,赵简王得到了全本并进行了补刻。
按:先父说:现在所流传的《遗篇》一卷,这是王冰之后的人假托所作,经文与注释风格一致,出自一人之手,文辞道理浅薄,不值得取用。而马莳却称赞它,怎么不想想得太厉害了呢?赵府居敬堂刊刻的版本《素问》,载有《刺法》和《本病》两篇,就是明代史书所指的那部书。赵简王名叫高燧,是明成祖的第三个儿子,母亲是文皇后,永乐三年受封,洪武元年就藩彰德,宣德六年去世。这些事多次见于《明史·宗室传》。
【素问逸篇】一卷,现存。
施沛跋语说:有一天,我独自坐在静寄轩下,有一位道士模样的人看着我问我读的是什么书,我回答说是《素问》,他便详细解答了我的疑惑,于是拿出两篇逸篇交给我说:“这是长生诀神现方。”说完道谢离去。后来我去寻找他,却无法找到踪迹,这才知道他是异人。
按:这本书所载内容支离破碎、荒诞不经,实在没有什么可取之处。大概是施沛假托所作,只供有见识的人一笑罢了。考察施沛的生平始末不详,根据《四库全书》史部职官类存目记载,有施沛编纂的《南京都察院志》四十卷。据此推断,施沛在编写此书时,身份应该是南京国子监生。
[Remnant Chapters of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon] Recorded in Song History as four volumes, now lost.
[Zhao Prince Jian's Supplemental Edition of the Remnant Chapters of the Inner Canon] Recorded in Ming History as one volume, extant.
Lin Yi et al. stated: The *Ci Fa Lun* (Treatise on Acupuncture Methods) and *Ben Bing Lun* (Treatise on Root Diseases) were lost prior to Wang Bing's commentary. According to Wang Bing's note at the end of the *Bing Neng Lun* (Treatise on Disease Manifestations): "The versions circulating in the world are missing the seventh and second chapters [referring to the 72nd chapter in some numbering systems or specific context], which refers to these two chapters." However, currently circulating texts such as *Su Wen Wang Pian* (Lost Chapters of Su Wen) and *Zhaoming Yin Zhi Lun* (Treatise on Hidden Meanings of Zhaoming) are claimed by some to be these two chapters, falsely attributed with commentary by Wang Bing. Their language is vulgar and shallow, offering nothing of value.
Ma Shi stated: The *Ci Fa* and *Ben Bing* chapters were originally lost; there exists a separate *Su Wen Yi Pian* (Remnant Chapters of Su Wen), referring to these two. The *Ben Bing Lun* serves to elucidate the principles of the *Ci Fa Lun*. It contains phrases such as "breaking stagnant Qi" (Zhe Qi Yu Qi) and "nourishing the source of transformation" (Zi Qi Hua Yuan). The major principles are found in the *Liu Yuan Zheng Ji Da Lun* (Great Treatise on the Six Origins and Correct Ordinances). However, that treatise only hints at them without elaboration; it is in these two chapters that practical application begins. Only when ascending fails to advance and descending fails to enter does the Five Stagnations (Wu Yu) form. Only when positions do not retreat can they not migrate to new positions. If the Si Tian (Heavenly Ruler) energy cannot migrate to its proper position, rigidity and flexibility will fail to maintain their balance, leading to the Five Plagues (Wu Yi) after three years. If the Zai Quan (Earthly Minister) energy cannot migrate to its proper position, rigidity and flexibility will also fail to maintain their balance, leading to the Five Pestilences (Wu Li) after three years. Later generations did not understand the concepts of Si Tian and Zai Quan, the right-side distribution of Heaven, the left-side distribution of Earth, and the treatment of the Five Stagnations because they ignored the principles of ascent and descent in these two chapters. They could not treat plagues and pestilences because they ignored the principles of position retreat, migration, and the failure of rigidity and flexibility maintenance in these two chapters. It is unknown from which dynasty someone stole these two chapters for private transmission, excluding them from official editions. Such a person may well face extinction of their lineage.
Ming History states: In the Wang Bing commentary version of *Su Wen* circulated in the world, there were missing chapters. Prince Jian obtained the complete edition and supplemented them.
According to my father: The currently circulating *Yi Pian* (Remnant Chapters), one volume, was fabricated by someone after Wang Bing. The classic text and commentary share the same style, indicating they were written by the same hand. The language and reasoning are shallow and unworthy of consideration. Why did Ma Shi praise it? How could he have thought so poorly? The *Su Wen* published at the Jujing Hall of the Zhao Mansion contains the *Ci Fa* and *Ben Bing* chapters, which corresponds to what Ming History referred to. Prince Jian's name was Gao Sui. He was the third son of Cheng Zu (Emperor Yongle), his mother being Empress Wen. He was enfeoffed in the third year of Yongle, took up his fief in Zhangde in the first year of Hongwu [Note: Historical discrepancy in original text likely implies Hongwu era context or specific dating convention, but translated literally], and died in the sixth year of Xuande. These events are frequently recorded in the *Biographies of the Imperial Clan* in Ming History.
[Su Wen Yi Pian] One volume, extant.
Shi Pei's postscript states: One day, sitting alone under the Jingji Pavilion, a Daoist priest looked at me and asked what book I was reading. I replied that it was *Su Wen*. He then thoroughly clarified my doubts and handed me two remnant chapters, saying, "This is the Longevity Formula revealed by the Divine." After thanking him, he departed. Later, I sought him out but could find no trace of him. Only then did I realize he was an extraordinary person.
According to my analysis: The content of this book is fragmented and absurd, truly worthless. It is likely a fabrication by Shi Pei, serving merely as amusement for those with insight. The details of Shi Pei's life are unclear. According to the catalog of the Ministry of Personnel category in the *Siku Quanshu* (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries), there exists *Nanjing Duchayuan Zhi* (Chronicles of the Nanjing Censorate) compiled by Shi Pei, forty volumes. This suggests that when compiling this work, Shi Pei was a student at the Nanjing Guozijian (Imperial Academy).
