【徐用宣《袖珍小儿方》】十卷，现存。
自序说：做事没有比医学更难的了，学医没有比治疗小儿更难的了。为什么呢？因为小儿的病症，只能通过揣摩推测来确诊。古人将其比喻为草叶上的露珠、水面上的泡沫（易逝且难以把握）。如果不是对医理洞察分明，怎么能治愈呢？古今的方书，数量不少，但往往顾此失彼，不足以作为查阅的标准。我趁着闲暇时光，私下搜集各家关于小儿的方书，编纂成一部书，分为十卷。以脉诀为首篇，方论和针灸图形次之，命名为《袖珍小儿方》，总共七十二门，共六百二十四首方剂，以便于随身携带和翻阅。我不敢以此在世上求取声誉，只是希望我家的子孙从事医生这一职业时，有所遵循遵守而不遗忘罢了。唉！后代的子孙，应当将此书视为珍宝保存而不要失传，所以我写下这些话作为记录。
潘琪作序说：《袖珍小儿方》一书，开头是纹脉图，接着是形色图，然后是命门部位图，再往后是从初生到痘疹期间，像吐泻、惊风、疳积、风痫、疟疾、痢疾等病症，无不依次详细记载。最后附上针灸形图。全书共七十二门，六百二十四首方剂。每一门有的用歌诀断语，有的用详细的议论，并在下面附加经验有效的方药。对于小儿的证候，阴阳逆顺的道理阐述得明明白白，传变补泻的条理井然有序。一览之间就能掌握其主旨意趣。如果按照书中的方法进行治疗，就像庖丁解牛一样，顺着筋骨缝隙下刀，迎刃而解。这真是救治幼儿的良好方书。然而世间原本没有这本书，直到永乐年间，三衢人徐用宣才开始编写它。徐用宣出身世医家庭，从小通晓儒家经典，潜心研究医道，晚年融会贯通，掌握了要领。他常常感叹世间流传的小儿方脉诸书浩如烟海，多得顾此失彼，缺乏明确的主旨。于是探究源流，结合自己的见解，撰写议论，选取良方，汇集成这部书，珍藏并随身携带，以备查阅，从而完善医术，传给后代。天顺年间，现任四川巡抚都宪、贵溪人丘公当时任刑部官员，家中幼童失调生病，恰好在北京遇到徐用宣的孙子（名字缺），邀请他诊治。见他观察面色、诊察脉搏、听声音用药，与世俗医生大不相同，而且见效极快。因此再三询问原因，他的孙子被丘公的诚恳感动，拿出这部书给丘公看，原来是徐用宣亲手抄录的，字迹细小但超过手掌大小，墨色浓重仅有一寸宽。丘公阅读后，看到图形详尽考究，论辨精确，方药简要，确实不是世间常见的书。于是以礼求得此书，根据方子果然有效，灵验如神。确信这本书足以救治幼儿是很明显的了。如今弘治庚戌年春天，丘公在巡视四川之余，才得以将书交给四川布政使文安人邢公刻印流传，并让我写序放在前面。我认为徐用宣耗尽心思，耗费精神，才写成这本书，打算珍藏起来以完善他的事业，并传给子孙，使得一邑一郡以及后世的幼儿，都能蒙受他的恩惠，得以存活。他的医术可谓精湛，用心可谓仁爱。可惜未能广泛传播。如果像现在的都宪公和方伯公那样，刻印传世，那么书的覆盖范围，就是恩泽覆盖的范围。天下后世的人，难道不会蒙受他的恩泽吗？他的仁爱之心，难道仅仅局限于一邑一郡及后世而已吗？
《四库全书提要》说：《袖珍小儿方》十卷，明代徐用宣撰。徐用宣是衢州人，《艺文志稿》中写作徽州人，大概是字形相近而讹误。这本书以脉诀为首，方论针灸图形次之，总共七十二门，六百二十四首方剂，搜集采择颇为完备，只是论断大多袭用旧文，没有什么发明创造。这本书作于永乐中期，嘉靖十一年，江西巡抚钱宏重新刊印。因为这本书原本是基于宋代钱乙的学说。
【庄应祺《补要袖珍小儿方》】十卷，现存。
【葛哲《保婴集》】四卷，未见。
郑文康作序说：《保婴集》是昆山葛哲（字明仲）所辑录的。葛家世代行医，对于儒学和医学两家的书籍无不阅读，对于内外各科的书籍无不深入研究。他认为婴儿的疾病，语言不通，脉理未定，突然遇到病情，无处下手，凭借的只有声音和面色罢了。汶阳钱乙（字仲阳）、汉东王镡的说法，固然无可非议；至于陈文中喜欢温热而厌恶寒凉，喜欢补益而厌恶攻下消导，已经不免受到丹溪朱氏的辩驳指责；至于张仲景治疗伤寒的方法，后世没有人违背而可以作为依据。于是采取各家已经试用并获得疗效的方子，分门别类加上论述，跟随药物说明。药性都平和，轻率冒进的就不收录。集成后进呈，宣宗皇帝亲自阅览，赐宴奖赏慰劳，葛明仲在家保留副本，请我写序言在开头。唉！医学是仁术，天下的技艺，没有比医学更仁爱的了。父母对于子女，无所不至，不幸生了病，无处托付，于是托付给医生。医生如果没有良方善药，将怎么接受这种托付呢？得到合适的人选就能转危为安，起死回生；得不到合适的人选，就会有不可言说的祸患。家族血脉或许因此断绝，宗庙祭祀或许因此灭绝，何况是关乎万全的生育之事呢。这就是葛明仲编辑《保婴集》的原因。葛明仲博学且精通脉理，并有恒心，现在担任迪功佐郎、楚王府良医副。（出自《平桥稿》）
又《致仕良医副葛明仲同配蔡氏合葬墓志略》说：我们昆山县多世家医，像周、许、董、沈、郑各家，都在前代以医术精巧著称。近代唯独葛氏，凭借医术显赫并获得官职。葛氏传承数代，到了讳名吉甫的人，更加弘扬家业，名声超出其他几家之上。吉甫生下叔成，叔成娶张氏生下浓（即葛明仲）。葛明仲从荆王府改任梁王府，又改任楚王府，持守恒常之道，历任三府鲜有败事。府僚从长史以下，无不尊重他的人品，神奇他的医术。在太医院任职期间，曾收集《保婴方论》若干卷进献朝廷。在荆王府期间，曾授赐敕令有格式，能够克勤克慎。褒奖晋升为修职佐郎。他的配偶蔡氏讳净，是同县思斋先生的女儿。葛明仲卒于天顺五年四月二十一日，蔡氏卒于腊月七日。葛明仲享年七十三岁，蔡氏比他大一岁。（出自《平桥稿》）
【寇平《全幼心鉴》】十六卷（《医藏目录》作四卷），现存。
自序说：上古圣贤，尝遍百草撰写《素问》，开创医药，消除疾病，使百姓进入长寿的境界。历代医师，继承志向，叙述事迹，立言立方，推广功用，大体上以救活人为宗旨。又将医学分为十三科，使医生专注于某一科，用心不分心，必定获得十全的效果。小儿科就是其中之一。然而小儿号称难治，为什么呢？刚出生的婴儿，吃奶阶段体质柔弱，神气未完全，气血未充盈，不能言语，饮食不知道节制，寒暑不知道谨慎，所以无法通过问诊和切脉来诊断。专门从事这一科的医生，必须明白性命的关键，营卫依附的关系，脉络的相互联系，通过五脏的颜色反映在面部，探求疾病的根源，根据药性的温寒，决定攻补的缓急。然而古方有的有效，有的无效，大概是因为天地气运，古今不同，就像一年有春夏秋冬的差异。不知道现在是哪个时节，却选择古方在今天使用，我将这些汇集成一本书，前面列出察病的方法，后面具备用药的方剂，命名为《全幼心鉴》，绣版刻印发行，使人心目清爽，打开书卷容易理解，现在借此流布四方。用心广博，用心善良，一并写在开头，作为对医学的劝勉。
【钱大用《活幼全书》】《国史经籍志》载八卷，现存。
吴志尹作序说：疾病有大有小不同，不相通用。最难治疗的疾病，莫过于小儿。小儿气体不全，不能言语，医生用药，多会损伤人体。所以汉代治疗幼儿的，有上虞陈氏的科室；宋代治疗幼儿的，有新安钱氏的科室；元代治疗幼儿的，有衡阳曾世荣的科室。书籍虽然多，但专门的极少，使用者很少见到效果。近代后学钱大用早年游历江浙，遇到京师太医院的名公，讲明医道，师从老成博学明理的儒者，采集各家治疗小儿有验证的奇方，集为一部，命名为《活幼全书》，请我为其作序。我看钱大用所集的新书，与其他书不同，试用多次都有神效。只是文理驳杂，混乱而无次序，于是选取方子中最有效可记录的三百余条，编排成次序，分为门类，作成歌赋论断，列在前面。又根据巨细详略，在后面列出条目，使得士人治疗小儿，易于查阅，举出纲领就能看到细节，某种疾病用某种方子，某种方子治某种疾病。道理谬误的加以纠正，流传错误的予以去除，繁复的删减，简略的补充，不疏漏也不简略，有条理有伦次。后来的学医者，可以效法它。用药的人拿来验证，不用担心药不对症，而疾病不愈。至于收集方子来沽名钓誉，用药来谋取私利，钱大用是不会做的。钱大用医术得自师传，心存仁爱，切实致力于救治幼儿，积累方子多年，现在发表出来虽然不要求报酬，但上天回报他，自有暗中相助的道理。方子哪里重要呢？这是序言。

薛己作序说：《保婴提要》一书，是我祖先所编集的。我曾经治疗验证过的案例，因此分类附在后面。大参石山沈公看了称赞它，认为有益于民众。于是交付刻印。唉！祖先的用心，在这里没有泯灭。从前祖先编写这本书，心意很勤恳，曾经教导我说：“儿科只有洁古老人最精通，至于陈文中、钱仲阳，则是两大名家。陈文中未曾专用热剂，但后世尊崇陈文的有时就失之偏颇；钱仲阳未曾专用凉剂，但后世尊崇钱乙的有时就失之偏颇。所以有互相诋毁排斥，最终连累这两位先生。而两位先生的方法，难道是故意这样的吗？”又说：“小儿无补法，这是世俗说法的错误。钱、陈二位先生的方法中没有这个意思。然而世间坚持这种说法杀人的很多了，能不警惕吗？”又说：“大人小儿，药剂制度不同。之所以这样，是因为大人的肠胃大，药剂宜丰厚；小儿的肠胃小，药剂宜简约。这是必然的法度。况且孩子也有大小之分，襁褓中的婴儿，药剂不可与垂髫儿童相同；垂髫的儿童，药剂不可与成童相同。脾胃不堪承受，必定会受伤，所以治疗者要谨慎。”“使用攻伐药剂的人，必须审察其真象，不要因为不足而误认为是有余，中病即止，慢慢调理，病必定痊愈。不停止的，叫做过剂之伤，这是孩子的忧患。治疗者要谨慎。”又说：“母子是一体的，何况还没吃东西的婴儿，完全依赖母乳，其感应特别快。所以母病子病，母安子安。由此说来，凡是诊治小儿疾病的，不能不考察母亲的情况。只要治疗母亲，儿子的病自然痊愈。一则药物的气味，酝酿在乳汁中，进入婴儿的腹部；二则母亲的病去掉后，婴儿喝好乳。这两方面婴儿都有痊愈的途径，确实是治疗婴儿的好方法。如果母亲没有其他疾病，儿子自己生病，然而儿子非常苦于服药，也应当让母亲服用，药物通过乳汁传递，其效果与儿子自己服药相等。我多次试验过，不是随便说的。”又说：“大人小孩，外观所见，治疗是一样的。为什么呢？五行生克的道理是一样的。治病如果不基于五行生克，那就是盲目耳聋，昏乱糊涂的人了。这是我害怕而不敢做的。况且我所论集的保护婴儿的方治，大多可以通用于成人内科的治疗，在于识者善于运用罢了。”又说：“所收集的方子多是旧方，想要其完备，并不是说照着方子就可以施治。旧方多因当时病人的情况而制定，与今人所患的病情，未必完全符合。大体上不可以立即使用，应该审慎斟酌。唉！凡是祖先剖示玄妙显示要点，谆谆教导我的话语，可以说是详细且至诚了。我这个晚辈怎敢忘记呢？怎敢忘记呢？那些玄微的话语，切要的论述，是儿科的指南。从业者不可不知道。读《保婴书》，而不通晓这些论述，那就像是转动门户却丢失了枢纽，提起皮衣却丢失了衣领，怎么可以呢？怎么可以呢？”于是恭敬地陈述祖先的话，并整理记录下来，放在卷首。祖先讳名铠，字良武，向来研习儒学，是郡学生，因精通医学被征召。弘治年间，任太医院医士，现在赠予院使头衔。著作很多，这只是其中一种。生平履历，记载在学士大夫的文章中，载于家谱及墓志铭中很详细，这里不再赘述。嘉靖三十四年，岁次乙卯，九月初一，奉政大夫太医院院使致仕男薛己谨书。
《四库全书提要》说：《保婴提要》八卷，明代薛铠撰。薛铠字良武，昊县人，宏治中，官至太医院医士。这个编本分门纂辑，对于儿科证治，最为详细。其中论述乳下婴儿有病，必须调治其母，“母病子病，母安子安”，并且说小儿苦于服药，也应当让母亲服用，药物通过乳汁传递，效果自然快捷，这些都是前人所未曾发端的。他的儿子太医院院使薛己又将他治疗验证的案例，附在各门之后，都低一格书写。后人收集薛己遗书，编为《薛氏医案》，这本书也在其中。考证卷首苏州府知府林懋举的序，有请薛己编纂精简的话语，怀疑薛铠只是草创此书，其编纂成册，实际上出自薛己之手？后人将其收入薛己书中，大概是由于这个原因。这个版本是嘉靖丙辰年刊印的，还是未编入《医案》以前的单行本。

自序说：古人说良医治未病，就像良相治未乱。防备细微，杜绝渐染，深谋远虑，那么祸乱就没有产生的途径；根深本固，思考祸患预先防范，那么疾病就没有产生的途径。这个道理，虽然是调养护理的人不可不知，但对于养育子女的人尤其不可不谨慎。古人养育子女，深深明白这个道理，不仅在形体生成之后节制爱护，而且在出生之前谨慎胎教；不仅在患病之日审慎医疗，而且在未病之时预防谨慎。所以他们生的孩子，气质自然不同，形体自然充实，既没有庸恶丑陋劣质的体质，也没有夭折猝然暴死的祸患。现在的养育者却不是这样，在怀孕时胎教没有素养，致使在胚胎时期受到邪气侵害；养育时专事姑息纵容，又使孩子在萌芽之际过度受伤。日积月累，酿成疾病。受了二三分的病，父母尚且不醒悟，到了五六分，才知道就医。如果遇到明智之士，不至于谬妄，也能挽回危险转为平安；倘若遇到无知鄙陋之人，不探究病源，不治根本，乘着紧急谋取利益，妄投药饵，最终导致病情突变。这都是父母开始不谨慎，导致的后果，怎能不叹息呢。我以童医身份，世居新安，从小到现在，继承这门事业。凡见小儿疾患，得自时令天行疫气的，虽然曾经随病救治，也能取得万一的效果。然而穷乡僻壤，耳目所不及的地方，怎么能一一救济，人人告知呢？古人说，施药不如施方。因为药的覆盖范围有限，而方的覆盖范围无穷。我私下认为，施方使治疗已病，又不若展示方法使治疗未病。古方古法，虽然详细记载在《演山省翁活幼口议》、《全幼心鉴》、钱氏、陈氏诸家之书，大行于世，但是都繁多散漫，人不能遍观而尽识。至于我家独得心法的奥妙，又都是得之于家传口授，不能家喻户晓。于是选择诸书，参考祖训，选取养育切要的，三十余条，编成一书，命名为《活幼便览》。前三十余条，首先阐明保胎原本的道理，其次记载随时爱养的方法，使人看此作为抚育的节制，而不被姑息所害。后百余条，各究受病的根源，附带经验急救的方子，使人因此认识治疗的道理，而不被医家误导。间或有禀受亏欠，赋命短促，而夭折疲癃的病患，素来定于成形之初，也不是医疗所能完全救活的，也都备录在其中，使人知道这一点，而不胡乱归罪于医生。唉！小儿这一科，古来称为难治，微言奥理，千变万化，固非一帙所能尽述。然而大略大法，也不外乎此。所以敢于僭越编集成册，刊行于世，庶几远近都知道养育治疗，而不致于迷惑失措。至于因时制宜，随机应变，不泥守古人的陈迹，那是神圣工巧的能事，岂是我平庸愚笨所能预言的呢？正德五年岁次庚午孟春下旬，新安刘锡书。

[M Xu Yongxuan's *Xiu Zhen Xiao Er Fang*] Ten volumes. Extant.
Preface by the author states: There is nothing more difficult than medicine, and within medicine, there is nothing more difficult than pediatrics. Why? Because pediatric conditions can only be diagnosed through careful inference and speculation. The ancients compared it to dew on grass blades or bubbles on water (ephemeral and elusive). Unless one has clear insight into medical principles, how can one cure it? Ancient and modern formularies are numerous, yet they often address one aspect while neglecting another, making them insufficient for comprehensive reference. Taking advantage of my leisure time, I privately collected various pediatric formularies from different schools and compiled them into a single work, divided into ten volumes. It begins with pulse diagnosis formulas, followed by formula discussions and acupuncture diagrams, titled *Xiu Zhen Xiao Er Fang* (Pocket-Sized Pediatric Formulary). It contains seventy-two categories and a total of six hundred and twenty-four prescriptions, designed for convenient carrying and consultation. I dare not seek fame in the world with this; rather, I hope that my descendants who pursue the profession of medicine will have something to follow and remember. Alas! Future generations should treasure this book and preserve it without loss. I write these words as a record.
Preface by Pan Qi states: The book *Xiu Zhen Xiao Er Fang* begins with diagrams of palm lines and pulses, followed by diagrams of complexion and physical appearance, then diagrams of the Mingmen (Gate of Life) location. Subsequently, it covers conditions from birth to smallpox/variolae, including vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, infantile malnutrition (Jing and Gan), wind-cold epilepsy, malaria, and dysentery, all recorded in order. It concludes with acupuncture diagrams. The entire work comprises seventy-two categories and six hundred and twenty-four prescriptions. Each category either uses mnemonic verses for judgment or detailed discussions, with effective empirical prescriptions appended below. Regarding pediatric syndromes, the principles of Yin and Yang, reversal and順顺 (normalcy), are explained clearly; the transmission and tonification/reduction methods are organized systematically. In a single glance, one can grasp its essence. If one treats according to the book, it is like Cook Ding carving an ox, following the natural crevices and slicing effortlessly. This is truly an excellent formulary for saving young children. However, this book did not exist in the world until the Yongle era, when Xu Yongxuan of Sanqu began compiling it. Xu Yongxuan came from a family of hereditary physicians, studied Confucian classics from a young age, and devoted himself to medical studies, achieving mastery in his later years. He often lamented that existing pediatric texts were vast but contradictory, lacking a clear focus. Thus, he investigated their origins, incorporated his own insights, wrote discussions, selected good prescriptions, and compiled this volume to keep for reference, thereby perfecting his skills and passing them to posterity. During the Tianshun era, Qiu Gong, then a censor in the Ministry of Justice and later Governor-General of Shu, encountered Xu Yongxuan’s grandson (name missing) in Beijing when his young child fell ill. He invited him to treat the patient. Observing his examination of color and pulse, listening to sounds, and prescribing medication, which differed greatly from ordinary practitioners, and noting the rapid efficacy, Qiu Gong asked repeatedly about the reason. Moved by the grandson’s sincerity, he showed him this book, which was hand-copied by Xu Yongxuan, with tiny characters filling a palm-sized space and dense ink. After reading it, Qiu Gong found the diagrams detailed, the discussions precise, and the prescriptions concise, realizing it was indeed a rare book. He obtained it with courtesy, applied the prescriptions, and found them effective and miraculous. It was evident that this book could save young lives. Now, in the spring of Gengxu year of the Hongzhi era, after his duties in Shu, Qiu Gong entrusted the book to Xing Gong, the Provincial Administration Commissioner of Wen’an, to print and circulate it, asking me to write the preface. I believe Xu Yongxuan exhausted his mind and spirit to create this book, intending to preserve it to perfect his profession and pass it to his descendants, so that infants in every county and commandery, and future generations, might benefit from his grace and survive. His medical skill was exquisite, and his intention benevolent. It is a pity it was not widely disseminated. If governors like Qiu Gong and Xing Gong print and spread it, the reach of the book becomes the reach of his benevolence. Will not the world and future generations benefit from his grace? Is his benevolence limited to just one county or future generations?
*Synopsis of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries* states: *Xiu Zhen Xiao Er Fang*, ten volumes, written by Xu Yongxuan of the Ming Dynasty. Xu was from Quzhou; the *Yiwen Zhi Draft* lists him as from Huizhou, likely due to similar character shapes causing an error. The book starts with pulse diagnosis, followed by formula discussions and acupuncture diagrams, totaling seventy-two categories and 624 prescriptions. The collection is quite comprehensive, but the discussions largely repeat old texts without significant innovation. The book was composed during the mid-Yongle period and reprinted in the 11th year of Jiajing by Qian Hong, Governor-General of Jiangxi. It is based on the theories of Qian Yi from the Song Dynasty.

[Ge Zhe's *Bao Ying Ji*] Four volumes. Not seen.
Preface by Zheng Wenkang states: *Bao Ying Ji* was compiled by Ge Zhe (courtesy name Mingzhong) of Kunshan. The Ge family practiced medicine for generations, reading all Confucian and medical texts, and studying all internal and external specialties. He believed that for infant diseases, where language is unclear and pulse patterns are undetermined, sudden illnesses leave one at a loss, relying solely on voice and complexion. The words of Qian Yi (Zhangyang) from Wenyang and Wang Tan from Handong are unquestionable. However, Chen Wenzhong’s preference for hot over cold and tonification over purging has been criticized by Zhu Danxi. Zhang Zhongjing’s methods for treating cold damage are universally accepted. Therefore, he collected effective prescriptions from various schools, categorized them with discussions, and listed accompanying herbs. The remedies are mild, excluding reckless ones. The compiled work was presented to Emperor Xuanzong, who personally reviewed it, granted a banquet and rewards. Mingzhong kept a copy at home and requested a preface. Alas! Medicine is a benevolent art; among all arts, none is more benevolent than medicine. Parents do everything for their children; if illness strikes and they have no one to turn to, they entrust it to doctors. Without good prescriptions and medicines, how can doctors accept this trust? A skilled practitioner turns danger to safety and death to life; an unskilled one brings unspeakable disasters, potentially ending family lines and ancestral sacrifices, let alone safe childbirth. This is why Mingzhong compiled *Bao Ying Ji*. Mingzhong was learned and skilled in pulse diagnosis, persistent, and currently serves as Di Gong Zuo Lang and Deputy Physician at the Chu王府 (Prince of Chu’s Residence). (From *Pingqiao Gao*)
Also, *Brief Epitaph for the Joint Tomb of Retired Deputy Physician Ge Mingzhong and his Wife Cai*: Our Kunshan has many hereditary medical families, such as Zhou, Xu, Dong, Shen, and Zheng, all renowned for skill in past dynasties. Recently, only the Ge family has gained prominence and official positions through medicine. The Ge family lineage reached Jifu, who expanded the family business, surpassing others. Jifu had a son, Shucheng, who married Zhang and had Nong (Mingzhong). Mingzhong served successively at Jing, Liang, and Chu residences, adhering to constancy and the Dao, rarely failing. Officials from the Chief Clerk downwards respected him and marveled at his skills. While in the Imperial Medical Academy, he submitted several volumes of *Bao Ying Formula Discussions*. At Jing Residence, he received imperial edicts praising his diligence and caution, promoting him to Xiuzhi Zuo Lang. His wife, Cai, named Jing, was the daughter of Sizhai from the same county. Mingzhong died on April 21, Tianshun Year 5, aged 73; Cai died on the 7th day of the 12th lunar month, living slightly longer. (From *Pingqiao Gao*)
[Kou Ping's *Quan You Xin Jian*] Sixteen volumes (*Yi Cang Mu Lu* lists four volumes). Extant.
Preface by the author states: Ancient sages tasted hundreds of herbs and wrote the *Suwen* (Basic Questions), initiating medicine to eliminate disease and bring people to longevity. Successive physicians continued this tradition, establishing theories and prescriptions, expanding functions, generally aiming to save lives. Medicine was divided into thirteen departments to ensure specialization and focus, yielding perfect results. Pediatrics is one such department. Yet, pediatrics is called difficult. Why? Newborns have weak constitutions, incomplete spirit and qi, cannot speak, lack dietary discipline, and are unaware of temperature regulation, making pulse-taking and questioning difficult. Specialists must understand the pivot of life and nature, the attachment of Ying and Wei, and the connection of meridians. By observing facial colors corresponding to the five zang organs, one probes the root of disease. Using the warm/cool properties of herbs, one determines the urgency of attack or tonification. Ancient prescriptions vary in efficacy because cosmic qi changes across eras, just as seasons differ within a year. Not knowing the current “season,” using ancient prescriptions today requires compilation. I gathered these into a book, listing disease observation methods first, followed by treatment prescriptions, titled *Quan You Xin Jian* (Complete Mirror for Infant Care). It is printed and distributed to clarify vision and open the mind, easy to understand, spreading widely. My intention is broad and good, written here to encourage medical study.
[Qian Dayong's *Huo You Quan Shu*] Listed as eight volumes in *Guo Shi Jing Ji Zhi*. Extant.
Preface by Wu Zhiyin states: Diseases vary in severity and are not interchangeable. The most difficult to treat are pediatric cases. Children have incomplete constitution and cannot speak; medications often harm them. Thus, Han dynasty had Shangyu Chen’s department, Song dynasty had Xin’an Qian’s department, and Yuan dynasty had Hengyang Zeng Shirong’s department. Though many books exist, specialized ones are few, and users rarely see results. Recently, Qian Dayong, a late scholar, traveled Jiangsu and Zhejiang, met famous scholars at the Imperial Medical Academy, studied under elderly Confucian masters, collected verified miraculous prescriptions for children, and compiled them into *Huo You Quan Shu* (Complete Book for Reviving the Young), requesting my preface. I find Dayong’s new book distinct from others, showing miraculous effects upon trial. However, the text is mixed and disordered. I selected over 300 highly effective prescriptions, organized them by category, added verses and discussions, and arranged details afterwards, making it easy for practitioners to consult. Outlining the general principles reveals specifics: which prescription for which disease. Errors are corrected, false transmissions removed, redundancies deleted, omissions filled. It is neither sparse nor brief, but orderly. Future students may emulate it; prescribers may verify with it. One need not worry about ineffective drugs or uncured diseases. Dayong does not collect prescriptions for fame or use them for profit. Trained in orthodox medicine, he possesses benevolence and dedication to saving children. Having accumulated prescriptions for years, he now publishes them without seeking reward, trusting that Heaven will bless him. What need is there for mere words? This is the preface.
[Xue Kai's *Bao Ying Cuo Yao*] Listed as twenty volumes in *Ming Zhi*. Extant.
Preface by Xue Ji states: *Bao Ying Ti Yao* (Summary of Infant Protection) was compiled by my ancestor. I have attached cases I have treated and verified. Shen Gong of Shishan, Grand Secretary, praised it for benefiting the people and ordered its printing. Alas! My ancestor’s intention is preserved. When my ancestor wrote this, he was diligent, teaching me: “In pediatrics, Jiegu Lao Ren is the most proficient; Chen Wenzhong and Qian Zhongyang are the two great masters. Chen never exclusively used hot agents, yet later followers of Chen erred; Qian never exclusively used cool agents, yet later followers of Qian erred. Thus, mutual criticism has burdened both masters. But were their methods intentionally flawed?” He also said, ‘Children have no tonification method’ is a vulgar error. Neither Qian nor Chen held this view. Yet many kill using this theory; beware!” He further stated, “Adults and children differ in dosage formulation. Adults have larger guts, requiring ample doses; children have smaller guts, requiring modest doses. This is the rule. Also, children vary in size; infants in swaddling clothes require different doses than those with hanging hair; those with hanging hair differ from older boys. The spleen and stomach cannot bear excessive force, causing injury; thus, practitioners must be cautious.” “When using attacking/purging agents, one must examine the truth, not mistaking deficiency for excess. Stop when the disease is addressed, then regulate slowly. The illness will heal. Continuing causes injury from overdose, endangering the child. Practitioners must be cautious.” He also said, “Mother and child are one unit. Especially for nursing infants relying entirely on breast milk, the connection is swift. Thus, if the mother is sick, the child is sick; if the mother is well, the child is well. Therefore, when diagnosing pediatric illness, one must examine the mother. Treating the mother cures the child. First, drug flavors brew in breast milk and enter the infant’s belly; second, once the mother is cured, the infant drinks good milk. Both paths lead to recovery. This is an excellent method for treating infants. If the mother is healthy but the child is sick, and the child suffers taking medicine, the mother should take it instead. The drug transmits via milk, with equal efficacy to direct administration. I have tested this frequently; it is not empty talk.” He also said, “Adults and children appear different, but treatment is the same. Why? The principle of Five Elements generation and restriction is identical. Treating disease without basing it on Five Elements is blind, deaf, and confused. This is what I fear and avoid. Moreover, the infant protection formulas I collected are mostly applicable to adult internal medicine; it depends on the knowledgeable practitioner to use them well.” He also said, “Collected formulas are often old, intended for completeness, not implying they can be used blindly. Old formulas were made for specific patients of their time and may not fit current conditions. Do not use them hastily; deliberate carefully.” Alas! My ancestor’s profound teachings were detailed and sincere. How could I forget? Profound words and essential theories are the compass for pediatrics. Practitioners must know them. Reading *Bao Ying* without understanding these theories is like turning a door without the hinge or lifting a coat without the collar. How can this be acceptable? Thus, I respectfully record my ancestor’s words at the beginning. My ancestor, named Kai, courtesy name Liangwu, was a Confucian scholar and local student, recruited for medical expertise. In the Hongzhi era, he served as a physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, posthumously honored as Academy Director. He authored many works; this is just one. His biography is detailed in scholars’ writings, family records, and epitaphs, so I omit them. Jiajing 34th year, Yimao, September 1st. Xue Ji, Retired Academy Director of the Imperial Medical Academy, respectfully writes.
*Synopsis of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries* states: *Bao Ying Ti Yao*, eight volumes, written by Xue Kai of the Ming Dynasty. Kai, courtesy name Liangwu, was from Hao County, serving as a physician in the Imperial Medical Academy during the Hongzhi era. This compilation is detailed regarding pediatric syndromes and treatments. He argued that for nursing infants with illness, the mother must be treated first: “If the mother is sick, the child is sick; if the mother is well, the child is well.” He noted that since infants struggle with medication, having the mother take it allows drug transmission via milk, yielding quick results. These were novel insights. His son, Xue Ji, Academy Director, appended his verified cases to each category, indented. Later, *Xue Shi Yi An* (Medical Cases of the Xue Family) included this book. Lin Maoju, Prefect of Suzhou, requested Xue Ji to condense the work in his preface, suggesting Xue Kai only drafted it and Xue Ji edited it. This version, printed in Jiajing Bingchen year, is a standalone edition prior to inclusion in *Yi An*.

Preface by the author states: The ancients said a good doctor treats disease before it arises, just as a good minister prevents chaos. Preventing minor issues avoids major disasters; strengthening the root prevents illness. Those who care for infants must understand this. Ancients valued prenatal education and postnatal care, preventing illness before it occurred, resulting in robust children free from premature death. Modern caregivers neglect prenatal education, exposing fetuses to pathogens, and spoil infants, causing harm. Accumulated minor ailments go unnoticed until severe. If treated by wise physicians, crisis can be averted; if by ignorant quacks who chase profit with reckless prescriptions, disaster ensues. This stems from parental negligence. As a hereditary pediatrician from Xin’an, I have treated seasonal epidemics with some success. However, remote areas lack access. The ancients said, “Giving prescriptions is better than giving medicine,” as prescriptions have wider reach. I believe teaching prevention is better than treating existing disease. Ancient texts like *Yan Shan Sheng Weng Huo You Kou Yi*, *Quan You Xin Jian*, and works by Qian and Chen are extensive but overwhelming. My family’s secret methods are oral traditions, unknown to the public. Thus, I selected essential points from various books and family teachings, compiling thirty-plus items on prenatal care and nurturing, and over a hundred items on disease origins and emergency prescriptions, titled *Huo You Bian Lan* (Convenient View for Reviving the Young). The first part explains fetal preservation and daily care to prevent spoiling; the second part explores disease roots and includes emergency prescriptions to guide treatment and avoid medical errors. Cases of constitutional weakness leading to early death are recorded to manage expectations. Alas! Pediatrics is traditionally difficult, with profound theories and variations beyond one book’s scope. However, general principles are covered here. I publish this to help远近 (near and far) understand care and treatment, avoiding confusion. Adaptation to circumstances and flexibility are matters of divine skill, beyond my humble prediction.

Preface by the author states: Pediatric medicine is called the “mute department” because infants cannot describe their illness, and even if they can, they lack self-care knowledge. It is indeed difficult. Practitioners must observe pulse and color, treat mother and child together, and adjust for size and deficiency/excess to avoid errors. Pitying this, I extracted the most essential points, discussing several theories and prescriptions, forming a small booklet. Historian Shi of He Xi printed it as *Guo Qin Xin Lu*. It is not meant to be comprehensive but simple and readable for beginners and rural people.
