闽长乐陈念祖修园识
《伤寒医诀串解》一书,是长乐人陈修园先生晚年编纂整理的著作。遗憾的是,全书六篇中尚缺一篇。因为当时尚未定稿成书,所以来不及刊印出版。他的侄子兼弟子陈道着,具有卢医扁鹊那样的风范,是福建地区的著名医生。他既能学习先生的学问,又能继承先生的遗志,每天亲手翻阅并秘密珍藏此书。他又体悟先生留下的意旨,恭敬地续写了一篇以补全缺失,从而合成六篇,书籍的篇幅结构于是完备。如今陈修园先生已故去多年,他的侄子陈道着也已年老。福建的林寿萱先生,专心致力于维护医学以造福世人,在旧书肆中,检得陈修园先生注解葛可久的《十药神书》一卷,购买并珍重保存。同时担心这两种书籍湮没不显,于是仔细加以校对,按韵律抄录下来,想要让两位先生的名声流传,并将医术传世。恰逢我奉命担任福建巡抚,因旧疾复发,得知林先生精通医疗诊治,常常劳烦他为诊视病情。谈论到福建的名医时,林先生举出陈修园和陈道着两位先生作为代表。恭敬地将陈修园先生所著的《南雅堂十一种医书》展示给我看。况且我本就善于照顾病患,又对这本书耳闻已久。适逢林先生又将手抄本《伤寒医诀串解》请求我为其作序。我才能低下,每每兢兢业业于官职守责,还担心才学不足以治理世事,哪里有空闲议论如何维护医学呢?然而,《串解》确实补充了《伤寒浅注》所未完备之处,不可以不流传。如果再附上《十药神书》的注解合在一起刻印,或许可以成为岐黄学派(中医)的秘传之本了。当今从事岐黄之术的人,如果能默默领会、精审研究,互相参考校勘,其益处实在不小。暂且根据林先生所述的缘起,在书简开端写上几句话罢了。
咸丰丙辰年秋九月望日之后第三天,福建巡抚吕孙 书写。
从前编纂《伤寒浅注》,共有三百九十七条治法。依据法条进行条理分析,期望达到明白易懂的效果。但又担心学习者不能融会贯通而掌握其要旨,便不自量力地综合贯穿、推演阐述,命名为《伤寒医诀串解》。对于其中似是而非、细微难辨之处,详细辨析,颇费苦心。修园我已年老,岂敢说在此道上已经“三折肱”(比喻阅历多,经验丰富,医术高明)。然而有志之士,如果真能由此推寻其端绪和纲领,而不被似是而非的现象所迷惑,未必不是救国救人的一个帮助。
闽地长乐人陈念祖(字修园)识。
*Shanghan Yijue Chuanjie* (Stringing Together the Secrets of Cold Damage) is a work compiled and edited by Mr. Chen Xiuyuan (Chen Nianzu), a native of Changle, in his later years. Regrettably, among the six chapters, one is still missing. Because it was not yet completed as a book, it was not ready for printing. His nephew and disciple, Chen Daozhe, possessed the demeanor of Lu Bian (referring to Lu Ren and Bian Que, legendary ancient physicians), and was a renowned doctor in Fujian. He was able to learn from his master's scholarship and inherit his master's aspirations. He daily handled and secretly treasured the manuscript. Furthermore, he comprehended the遗意 (left-behind intent) of his master and respectfully composed an additional chapter to fill the gap, thereby completing the six chapters and establishing the volume. Now, Master Xiuyuan has been deceased for some time, and his nephew Daozhe is also advanced in age. Mr. Lin Shouxuan of Fujian, who dedicated himself to preserving medicine for the benefit of the world, found a volume of *Ge Kejiu's Ten Divine Medicines Book* annotated by Master Xiuyuan in a second-hand bookstore, purchased it, and preserved it with care. Fearing that these two works might remain obscure and unappreciated, he carefully collated them and transcribed them rhythmically, wishing to preserve the fame of both masters and transmit their medical knowledge to posterity. At that time, I was appointed as the Governor-General of Fujian. My old illness recurred, and upon learning that Mr. Lin excelled in treatment, I often requested him to examine my condition. When discussing renowned doctors in Fujian, Mr. Lin cited Masters Chen Xiuyuan and Chen Daozhe as representatives. He respectfully showed me the *Ten Medical Books of Nanya Hall* authored by Master Xiuyuan. Moreover, I have always been skilled in caring for patients and had long been familiar with this book through reputation. Just then, Mr. Lin presented a handwritten copy of *Shanghan Yijue Chuanjie* and requested a preface from me. Though I am untalented, I diligently attend to my official duties and fear my abilities are insufficient to govern the world; how could I have leisure to discuss preserving medicine? However, *Chuanjie* indeed supplements what *Shanghan Qianzhu* (Cold Damage Light Notes) left incomplete, and thus should not fail to be transmitted. If combined with the annotations of *Ten Divine Medicines Book* and printed together, they might serve as a secret manual of the Qi-Huang school (Traditional Chinese Medicine). For those currently practicing Qi-Huang arts, if they can silently comprehend and carefully study, cross-referencing each other, the benefits will undoubtedly be substantial. I briefly write these few words at the beginning of the scroll based on the origin story described by Mr. Lin.
On the third day after the full moon in the ninth month of the Bingchen year of the Xianfeng era, Lv Sun, Governor-General of Fujian, wrote.
Previously, when compiling *Shanghan Qianzhu*, I included three hundred and ninety-seven methods. Based on these methods, I provided detailed explanations, aiming for clarity and ease of understanding. Yet, fearing that students might not achieve mastery and grasp the essential principles, I presumptuously synthesized and elaborated upon them, naming this work *Shanghan Yijue Chuanjie*. In distinguishing subtle and ambiguous points, I exerted considerable effort. Although I am old, do I dare claim to have "broken my arm three times" (an idiom meaning extensive experience leads to expertise)? Nevertheless, for those with ambition, if they can trace the threads and grasp the outline from this text, avoiding confusion by apparent similarities, it may well contribute to saving the nation and healing people.
