承节郎新近病愈，监临安府富阳县酒税务的王硕记述。
陈振孙说：《易简方》一卷，由永嘉人王硕（字德肤）撰写。增补删减的方剂三十首，切制的药材三十种，市肆中常见的丸药十种，作为仓促应用时的准备。这本书在世间广泛流行。
刘辰翁说：自从《易简方》流行，而“四大方”被废弃。下至《三因百一方》等诸家藏方也被废弃。甚至《局方》也被废弃。这就像《中庸》《大学》显赫之后，诸家的传注义理被废弃；乃至《诗》《书》《易》《春秋》都被废弃一样。所以，《易简方》是近代名医汇聚的地方。四书是我们儒家学者的《易简方》。（出自须溪记钞济庵记）
杨士瀛说：《易简方论》，前后挽救的生命不知有多少。近世的读书人，往往用春秋笔法来苛责它，说：“《易简方》也有过失”，于是有《增广易简方》、《续易简方》出现，借古人的盛名来伸张自己的主观见解。唉，王氏对人们有什么亏欠呢？我认为《易简方论》是后学的指南，与《四时治要》议论相似，其中自有衡量标准存在。况且王氏晚年的剂量，多次修订不一，如同日月蚀损，何损于光明？至于那些吹毛求疵、刻意挑剔而过分指责的人，或许不被公论所认可。

〔卢氏（祖常）续易简方论〕五卷 存
自序说：先哲阐述显明的道理，比喻医道的艰难，有人说：虱子也是一种虱子，属于虫类，形体鲜明，患处在瘙痒，危害轻微，厌恶明亮而喜欢黑暗，远离寒冷而趋向温暖，吮吸皮肤咀嚼血液，寻求配偶繁衍后代。本来不知道它的来源，也不拥有它的种类，起初因为恼人，搔抓而获得它，只有一只而已。等到它兴盛时，密密麻麻地在衣缝间，纷纷扬扬在发鬓间，抚摸不尽，梳理后又出现。在身体上的不超过肩膀，在肩膀上的不低于脖颈。可以说形体性质没有不同，节气操守有定规。为什么颜色一旦有异，畏惧厌恶顿时区别开来？黑色的遇到藜芦就衰落，白色的靠近水银就暗中消亡。观察这一点，凡是成为良工医生，面对诊断看病，证候单纯的，治疗用药应当像童子回答老师提问一样，字字清晰确切；证候驳杂的，处方应当像才子破解合题文章一样，字字包罗尽致。又说：有一个卖生药的商人，有个儿子十七岁，已经行冠礼，头上有很多虱子。父亲取水银，制作髻绳来驱避它们。过了十天虮子和虱子依然如故。容颜逐渐萎黄，精神憔悴。当时说是头冷，父亲怀疑儿子想吃东西导致患病，更换医生，只当作思虑伤脾调理，都没有丝毫功效。父亲经常斋戒修道，有一天斋戒时，看见他儿子瘦弱，起身询问原因。父亲倾吐真情告诉了他。道人详细查看他的头冷，便知道是患上了水银中毒。慢慢笑着说：没有药可以治疗，只有贫道有办法救起他。只制作两根银梗，像鼻窍大小，各长二寸四分，对应二十四节气。银梗顶端必须平整容纳。贫道明天早上料理。患病家属深信这个说法。道人果然如约来到，索要银梗，呵咒几次，纳入患病儿子的鼻孔中，作揖说：暂且退下，傍晚再来。缓缓取出银梗，看着大笑，用指甲剔下水银十几滴，给家人看，一点损失都没有，怡然离去，挽留不住。他儿子于是平安。父亲因此阅读《神农经》，才看到水银的性质，进入人的肌肉，使人百节挛缩；进入人脑，能侵蚀人脑直至耗尽。道人用银梗引出体内水银，大概是知道水银的性能能腐蚀银耳。所有施为，无非是神化他的法术，以打动患病家属的信心。由此看来，良工做学问不可不渊博，见识不可不广博，人命不可不重视，取财不可不轻视，用药不可不防患。不这样，不足以穷尽医道。怎么可以不知道医道的艰难，把《易简方》《简要方》当作老师，借用法度来谋生呢？尊重生命的君子，想要服用《易简方》《简要方》的药物，敢请参酌纠谬之书。可以投用的就投用，可以服用的就服用，不要重蹈“病未必杀人，药却杀人多矣”的深刻警戒。
按语：卢祖常是永嘉人，别号砥镜老人。书中自称年轻时遭遇怪疾，因此有所感悟，癖好论医。我们乡里的良医陈无择先生每次见面，必定互相议论。据此推断，卢祖常是绍兴以后的人。这本书对王硕和孙志宁两家的内容，逐件纠正剔除，不遗余力，骂得很厉害。并不是为了续写叙述，但书名似乎难以理解。考证《澹寮方》引用这本书，作《易简方纠缪》，才知道后序所说的“敢请参酌纠谬”的话，大概是指他所著的这本书。先前读无名氏《撮坏集》，医书部，有《易简方纠缪》，想是后人与施氏的书合刊，因此更改旧目，加上“后集”二字吧。
〔施氏（发）续易简方论〕六卷 存
题词说：王德肤编写《易简方》，大概多选自《三因方》，并附上其他方剂增删而成。当今世上的士大夫，谁不珍爱重视？都认为治病快捷重要，没有超过这本书的。但其中有些失于点勘校对，未免大醇而小疵。我与德肤，早年有半面之交的情谊，不是敢求多得什么。特因为关系到人命，不容沉默。于是表彰而出之。我难道是喜好争辩吗？永嘉施发政卿撰写。
后序说：医家著书，立言以流传于世，而脉理精微，难以立刻解释清楚。应当明确显示其虚实冷热之证，使人容易顺从，就可以了。王氏的这个方子，名叫《易简》，士大夫往往因为便于观览，所以多用它。然而它对虚实冷热之证，没有区别，称之为简，岂不是太简了吗？这是我续论之作，所以不能自已的原因。区区管见如此，怎知后人不会非议我呢？淳熙癸卯年夏五月过旬日，恭敬写在寓室桂堂。
僧继洪说：施发著《续易简方》，提到三生饮方，王氏说：治疗卒中昏不知人，痰气上壅，咽喉作声，不问外感风寒，内伤喜怒，或者六脉沉伏，或者指下浮盛，都适宜服用。这误导后学之人太多了。殊不知中风、中寒、中湿、中气，六脉沉伏的，固然可以根据证候增减使用。如果指下浮盛，其脉必浮而洪数，这就是挟热中风的征候，怎么可以投用乌头、附子等大热之剂？如果用此，是以火助火啊。必须先以稀涎散，微微去除其涎，等到稍微苏醒，然后用加减小续命汤发散它，这才是得当的。现在的医生，所学习的多是《易简方》。凡见到中风的，不辨别其冷热，就急忙投用三生饮。三生饮无效，换成三建汤。三建汤也无效，他们的技艺止于黑锡丹而已。想要侥幸万一中的，有时足以害人，这都是王氏开启的风气。更有中暑一证，也使人噎闷，昏不知人，其脉则虚弱而微迟。有人不审察，用三生饮治疗，灾祸转眼即到，能不谨慎吗？这是施发的说法。继洪曾经读《医余》一书，有说中风脉不大的，不是热证，是风脉。又有中疾气郁痰结，脉多沉伏，所以也有浮而非热，沉而非实的。这是王氏不拘泥于脉象而用三生饮的初衷。也未尝完全不对。然而如果果真是脉浮数，而证候有挟热，难道不误人吗？王氏又说：不问外感内伤，失误尤其严重。固然不可讳言施发的说法。只是施发辨脉还不够详尽，攻击王氏的言辞，也有强夺情理之处。所以我曾说诸师评《易简方论》，互相诋毁，各有偏颇。而且仅仅纷纷议论药裹，更不说人的脏腑有阴阳，禀赋有浓薄，怎么能得到公正的人士为之裁断呢？（出自《澹寮方》）
〔徐氏（若虚）易简归一〕佚
吴澄序说：近代的医方，只有陈无择的议论，最有根底，而他的药物多不灵验。严子礼剽窃他的议论，而附上平日所用的经验药物，那就既兼美好了。王德肤师从陈无择，《易简方》三十方，大概是专门为穷乡僻原、医药不便之地，一时救急而设，不可通用于久远，也不可告知能医者流。因此难免于容易苟简，招致施发、卢祖常的攻击是应该的。况且加上疟痢之证，病源不一，治法自然不同。世上有坚持“无痰不成疟，无积不成痢”的说法，而一概使用一种药的人，或者在甲身上有效，而在乙身上无效，人们只责怪药不灵验，谁知道是因为辨证不明呢？多次见到患疟疾的人，根据证候参照施氏用药；又多次见到患病的人，根据证候参照严氏用药，证候各不相同，无不随手痊愈。确实是对证明确，处方得当，疗效如此。德肤局限地用四兽饮、断下二药，岂可不笑吗？德肤以来，增补这本书的共有三人：孙、施、卢。豫章徐若虚昔日以进士身份被荐举为儒生，而擅长医术，又取四种《易简方》而扩充为五种，名叫《易简归一》。其论述更加微密，其方剂更加完备。施发、卢祖常应当避席致敬，何况王硕、孙志宁呢？虽然如此，微密并非容易，完备并非简单。非易非简，而还叫《易简》，是不忘记初衷。我取其有益于治愈疾病，对人有恩德罢了。对于书的难易繁简，又有什么计较呢？（出自文集）

(These are) formulas that Wang Shuo has personally verified and treated. I have copied their dosages, generally to prepare for emergency needs. I consider myself unlearned and insignificant, yet having received your kindness and recognition, I dare not decline. Soon after, scholars and officials also became quite aware of this book. Not regarding it as superficial, visitors seeking advice came in succession. Thus, based on what had already been compiled, I highlighted its outlines and further analyzed and distinguished within it. The general overview is now roughly complete. If it can be adopted, how could I dare not share it with those who value health preservation?
Wang Shuo, newly recovered from illness, holding the title of Chengjie Lang (Military Officer of Accompanying Steps), Supervisor of the Wine Tax Office in Fuyang County, Lin'an Prefecture, recorded this.
Chen Zhensun stated: *Yijian Fang* (Easy-to-Simple Formulas), one volume, was authored by Wang Shuo (courtesy name Defu) from Yongjia. It contains thirty modified formulas, thirty types of prepared herbs, and ten common pill medicines available in markets, intended as preparation for sudden applications. This book circulated widely in the world.
Liu Chenweng said: Since *Yijian Fang* became popular, the "Four Great Formulas" were abandoned. Down to various collected formulas such as *San Yin Bai Yi Fang*, they too were abandoned. Even the *Ju Fang* (Bureau Formulas) were abandoned. This is akin to how, once *Zhongyong* (The Doctrine of the Mean) and *Daxue* (The Great Learning) became prominent, the commentaries and interpretations of other classics were abandoned; even the *Shi* (Book of Songs), *Shu* (Book of Documents), *Yi* (Book of Changes), and *Chunqiu* (Spring and Autumn Annals) were abandoned. Therefore, *Yijian Fang* is the gathering place of famous physicians of recent times. The Four Books are the *Yijian Fang* of our Confucian scholars. (From Xuxi Jichao Ji'An Ji)
Yang Shiying said: Regarding *Yijian Fang Lun*, countless lives have been saved before and after. Scholars of recent times often judge it using the standards of the *Spring and Autumn Annals*, saying, "*Yijian Fang* also has faults." Consequently, works like *Zengguang Yijian Fang* (Expanded Easy-to-Simple Formulas) and *Xu Yijian Fang* (Continued Easy-to-Simple Formulas) appeared, borrowing the great names of the ancients to assert their own subjective theories. Alas! What did Mr. Wang owe to people? I believe *Yijian Fang Lun* serves as a guide for later learners, similar in discussion to *Sishi Zhiyao* (Essentials of Four Seasons Treatment); there exists an internal standard of judgment. Moreover, Mr. Wang revised his dosages multiple times in his later years. Just as solar and lunar eclipses do not diminish the brightness of the sun and moon, these revisions do not detract from the work's value. As for those who nitpick and criticize excessively, perhaps public opinion does not support them.
[Anonymous Corrected and Annotated *Yijian Fang Lun*], One Volume, Extant.
Inscription states: This book is a genuine transmitted original text, further corrected, differing greatly from copies bought in markets. Over twenty passages were supplemented to fill gaps, such as the discussion on Jiangqi Tang (Qi-Descending Decoction) addressing Qi disorders. The discussions frequently cite herbs from the *Ju Fang* but do not list the formulas; these are now annotated below, totaling over thirty formulas, such as Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction). If a formula name is mentioned in the discussion but appears in another section, it is not re-annotated, such as Baizhu Jiu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Wine) or Shu Fu Tang (Atractylodes and Aconite Decoction). Market pills are not included. For treatment and preparation methods, those wishing to prepare them themselves must refer to the *Ju Fang*. These methods are now fully included without error or omission, truly comprehensive. With this book at home, upon encountering illness, one glance reveals everything clearly. The printing is small-sized with clean characters, convenient for carrying during land or water travel, making it exceptionally perfect. Collectors should exercise their own discernment.

Lu Zuchang said: I observe that Sun Zhining's revision of *Yijian Fang* builds upon Wang Shuo, sharpening an old sword; yet adding concise sections pushes past Li Zijian, digging a new pit. If one sees this but does not sheathe the sword and fill the pit, the harm to others will be endless.
[Lu's (Zuchang) Continued *Yijian Fang Lun*], Five Volumes, Extant.
Preface states: Ancient sages explained profound truths, illustrating the difficulty of medicine, saying: The louse is a louse, a type of insect, distinct in form, causing itching, with light harm. It dislikes light and prefers darkness, avoids cold and seeks warmth, sucks skin and bites blood, seeking mates to reproduce. Originally unknown in origin or species, it first annoys people; scratching yields only one. When it thrives, it clusters in clothing seams and hairlines, impossible to count or comb away. On the body, not exceeding shoulders; on shoulders, not dropping below the neck. Its form and nature seem unchanged, its habits fixed. Yet why does color variation cause such different reactions? Black lice decline when exposed to Veratrum nigrum; white lice perish near Mercury. Observing this, any skilled physician, when diagnosing, should treat pure syndromes with clarity and precision, like a child answering a teacher; for complex syndromes, prescriptions should be all-encompassing, like a scholar solving a combined essay topic. Also, a herbal merchant had a seventeen-year-old son, recently crowned, suffering from head lice. The father used Mercury to make a hair tie to repel them. After ten days, lice remained. His complexion withered, spirit declined. He complained of cold head. The father suspected dietary craving caused the ailment, changed doctors, treated it as Spleen deficiency due to overthinking, with no effect. The father fasted for Daoist rituals. One day, seeing his emaciated son, he asked the reason and confessed everything. The Daoist examined the cold head and realized it was Mercury poisoning. Smiling gently, he said: No medicine can cure this; only I have a method. I will make two silver rods, size of nasal passages, each 2.4 cun long, corresponding to the 24 Solar Terms. The tops must be flat. I will attend tomorrow morning. The family believed him. The Daoist arrived as promised, took the silver rods, chanted incantations several times, inserted them into the boy's nostrils, bowed, and said: Retreat for now, I will return at dusk. Slowly removing the rods, he laughed loudly, picking out over ten drops of Mercury with his fingernails, showing them to the family, taking nothing, leaving cheerfully despite挽留. The son recovered. The father then read the *Shennong Bencao Jing* and learned Mercury's nature: entering flesh causes joint contraction; entering brain erodes it completely. The Daoist used silver rods to extract Mercury, knowing Mercury corrodes silver. All actions were designed to mystify his technique and strengthen the patient's faith. From this, we see a good physician must be knowledgeable, broad-minded, value life, disdain wealth, and prevent hazards in medication. Otherwise, one cannot master medicine. How can one ignore this difficulty and take *Yijian Fang* as a teacher, borrowing methods for livelihood? Gentlemen who respect life, wishing to use *Yijian Fang*, are advised to consult corrective texts. Use if appropriate, take if suitable, avoiding the deep warning that "disease may not kill, but medicine kills many."
Note: Lu Zuchang was from Yongjia, pseudonym Dijng Laoren. In the book, he claims to have suffered a strange illness in youth, leading to his interest in medical theory. Mr. Chen Wuzhe, a good physician in our hometown, always discussed with him upon meeting. Thus, Lu Zuchang lived after the Shaoxing era. This book corrects Wang Shuo and Sun Zhining's works meticulously, criticizing them severely. It is not merely a continuation, making the title puzzling. Checking *Danliao Fang*, it cites this book as *Yijian Fang Jiumiu* (Correcting Errors in Yijian Fang). Thus, the preface's mention of "consulting corrections" refers to this work. Previously reading Anonymous's *Cohuai Ji*, Medical Section, found *Yijian Fang Jiumiu*. Likely later editors merged it with Shi Fa's book, changing the old title and adding "Later Collection."
[Shi's (Fa) Continued *Yijian Fang Lun*], Six Volumes, Extant.
Inscription states: Wang Defu composed *Yijian Fang*, largely selecting from *San Yin Fang* and adding modifications from other formulas. Today, scholars cherish it, believing no book surpasses it for quick and essential treatment. However, some lack careful proofreading, resulting in minor flaws amidst major merits. Having known Defu since youth, not for personal gain, but because human life is at stake, I cannot remain silent. Thus, I highlight these points. Do I enjoy arguing? Shi Fa, courtesy name Zhengqing, from Yongjia, wrote this.
Postscript states: Physicians write books to leave words for the world, but pulse principles are subtle and hard to explain quickly. One must clearly indicate deficiency/excess and cold/heat syndromes so people can follow easily. Wang's formula, named *Yijian*, is favored by scholars for convenience. However, it fails to distinguish deficiency/excess and cold/heat. Calling it simple might be too simple. This is why I continued the discussion. My humble views may be criticized by later generations. Written respectfully in Gui Tang study, mid-May, Guimao year of Chunxi.
Monk Jihong said: Shi Fa's *Continued Yijian Fang Lun* mentions Sansheng Yin (Three Lives Decoction). Wang Shuo stated it treats stroke with unconsciousness, phlegm obstructing qi, throat sounds, regardless of external wind-cold or internal emotional injury, whether pulses are deep/fixed or floating/prosperous. This misleads many learners. One must know that for stroke, cold-strike, damp-strike, or Qi-strike with deep pulses, it can be used with modifications. But if pulses are floating/prosperous, they are likely floating, large, and rapid, indicating stroke with heat. How can one administer heating agents like Aconite and Typhonium? Doing so adds fire to fire. First use Xixian San (Saliva-Expelling Powder) to remove phlegm slightly. Once revived, use Modified Xiao Xuming Tang to disperse. This is correct. Modern physicians, learning mostly from *Yijian Fang*, see stroke, fail to distinguish cold/heat, and rashly give Sansheng Yin. If ineffective, switch to Sanjian Tang (Three Builders Decoction). If still ineffective, resort to Heixin Dan (Black Tin Pill), hoping for luck, sometimes harming people. This stems from Wang Shuo. Also, Summerheat stroke causes choking and unconsciousness, with weak/slow pulses. Unaware practitioners using Sansheng Yin bring disaster swiftly. Be cautious. This is Shi Fa's view. Jihong read *Yiyu*, which states stroke with non-large pulses is not heat, but wind. Also, Qi stagnation and Phlegm accumulation often show deep pulses, so floating without heat or deep without excess exist. This explains Wang's uncritical use of Sansheng Yin. It is not entirely wrong. But if pulses are floating/rapid with heat signs, isn't it harmful? Wang's claim "regardless of external/internal cause" is especially erroneous. Shi Fa's critique is valid, though his pulse differentiation is not detailed enough, and his attack on Wang sometimes lacks logic. Thus, I say masters criticizing *Yijian Fang* have biases, focusing only on herbs, ignoring Yin/Yang of organs and constitution thickness. Who can judge fairly? (From *Danliao Fang*)
[Xu's (Ruoxu) *Yijian Guiyi*], Lost.
Wu Cheng's Preface states: Among recent medical formulas, only Chen Wuzhe's discussions have solid foundations, though his herbs are often ineffective. Yan Zili borrowed his discussions and added his own effective herbs, achieving both beauty. Wang Defu studied under Chen Wuzhe. His *Yijian Fang* (30 formulas) was set for remote areas with poor medical access for emergency use, not for long-term application or expert physicians. Hence, it invites criticism for being too simple, leading to attacks by Shi and Lu. Adding Malaria and Dysentery, whose origins differ, require different treatments. Some insist "No Phlegm, No Malaria; No Accumulation, No Dysentery," using one drug for all. It works for A but not B. People blame the drug, not realizing the diagnosis was unclear. I've seen malaria patients cured by following Shi's formulas according to syndrome, and others cured by Yan's formulas. Syndromes differed, results succeeded. Clearly, accurate syndrome differentiation and proper prescription yield such effects. Defu limiting treatment to Sibao Yin and Xia Er Yao is laughable. Since Defu, three have expanded the book: Sun, Shi, Lu. Xu Ruoxu of Yuzhang, a Jinshi scholar skilled in medicine, took four *Yijian Fang* versions and made five, naming it *Yijian Guiyi* (Returning to Simplicity). Discussions are more precise, formulas more comprehensive. Shi and Lu should step aside, let alone Wang and Sun. Although precise is not easy, comprehensive is not simple. Yet calling it *Yijian* honors its origin. I value its merit in curing disease and benefiting people, not its complexity. (From Collected Works)
Note: The *Yijian Fang* in *Yifang Leiju* differs from Defu's book, author unknown. Its style resembles compiling four families, possibly Xu Ruoxu's work. Yamamoto Rai'en compiled it into one volume, not complete but easier to use.
[Xia's (Demao) *Weisheng Shiquan Fang*], Song Catalog 13 Volumes, Lost.
Siku Quanshu Summary states: *Weisheng Shiquan Fang* 3 volumes, *Qiji Fang* 1 volume, authored by Xia De of Song. Courtesy name Ziyi, biography unknown. The book has an original preface by Tang Zhongyou, stating: Friend Xia Ziyi collected his master's formulas, simple and effective, 10 volumes. Added best from family collection, 2 volumes. Attached his own *Qiji Fang*, 1 volume. Total 13 volumes. Thus, not authored by one person. Treating lower back/kidney pain uses Tang Zheng Xiangguo's formula, clear evidence. Now extracted from *Yongle Dadian*, compiled into upper/middle/lower 3 volumes. Though less than 30-40% of original, symptoms/herbs/discussions are present. E.g., Liver distension with soul loss seeing birds/insects, red eyes, body spots, hair turning copper/iron, nose hair 5 chi long, foul breath, iron-colored fluid, shrimp/fish syndromes—rare anomalies treated with mild methods, likely from secret traditions, not standard paths. Others like Zigong San treating postpartum stroke are orthodox and simple, not just novel. *Zhichai Shulu Jieti* only lists *Qiji Fang* 1 vol. *Song Shi Yiwenzhi* matches Tang's preface. The 38 rare disease formulas are attached to *Chuanshi Shi Yong Fang* and scattered in *Bencao Gangmu*. Cannot discard the original book due to citations. Thus, compiled into 1 volume appended at end. Cannot distinguish master's 10 vols from family's 2 vols, so combined.

Chen Zhensun said: *Chuanshi Shi Yong Fang* 2 volumes, attributed to Zhuo'an Wu Yankui, Gengzi year of Chunxi.
Siku Quanshu Summary states: *Chuanshi Shi Yong Fang* 2 volumes, author unnamed. *Song Shi Yiwenzhi* lists it without author. Liu Yuxi's *Chuanshi Fang* 2 volumes exists. Checking this book, each formula notes transmission from someone, citing *Heji Ju Fang*, proving it's not Yuxi's. *Zhichai Shulu Jieti* lists *Chuandao Shi Yong Fang* 2 volumes by Zhuo'an Wu Yankui, Gengzi Chunxi, matching this volume count. Thus, this is Yankui's book, with "Dao" mistaken for "Shi" in transcription. This copy is shadow-written from Song block print, lacking prefaces/postscripts. Records empirical formulas. Includes one question on Bawei Wan, deeply understanding formula creation. Other formulas selected by later generations are often imprecise. Does not include Xia Ziyi's 38 rare disease formulas.

Self-Preface states: Medicine explores the source of heaven/earth turbidity, observes Yin/Yang changes, follows four seasons, uses hundred herbs to treat diseases. Since Shennong wrote on metals/stones/plants, Huangdi/Qibo wrote *Neijing Suwen*, studies flourished. Famous figures like Bian Que/Huan Cao achieved fame through skill, verifiable in history. They grasped subtleties, used acupuncture/moxa/hot compresses unpredictably, rarely leaving formulas for posterity. Only Yi Yin discussed decoctions; Han Chancellor Zhang Ji (Zhongjing) expanded them, creating transmittable formulas. Disease variations are infinite, formulas finite. Using finite formulas for infinite variations leads to errors unless flexible. Thus, distinctions in meridians/syndromes and modification methods are needed. Divine understanding depends on the person. Alas! Can later generations match Bian Que/Huan Cao? Illness brings death/life in breaths; thus, formulas are necessary. Hence, any physician leaving formulas with even slight efficacy should not be discarded. My family collection is vast, from Prince He Wu Gong and my own experience/tests. Arriving in Dangtu, with free time, I sorted them daily. Similar herbs with different effects listed together, obtaining 1,111 formulas. Modern physicians hide tested formulas, fearing exposure, hoping for sudden success to mystify skills. My collection includes these hidden gems. May every household have this book, gathering top physicians' strengths for emergencies, like a loving father/son's heart. Carved in county office to spread widely.
