失深遂夙心(出林光禄素问序)
孙思邈是雍州华原人，七岁开始求学，每天能诵读上千字。他善于谈论《庄子》、《老子》及诸子百家的学说，生性喜好医术，凡是经典医方无不广泛阅览，撰写了《千金方》等著作流传于世。
张文仲是洛州洛阳人，以医术闻名。在武则天时期担任侍御医，尤其擅长治疗风疾。武则天命令他编写治疗各种风疾的方剂，他上奏说：“风病有一百二十种，气病有八十种，大体上虽然相同，但人的体质各异。只有头部的风病会随着时机发动，需要临时斟酌处理。只要有风气侵袭的人，在春末夏初或秋暮时节通过通泄之法，就不会导致病情困顿剧烈。”
孟诜是汝州梁人，凭借进士及第。垂拱初年，多次升迁至凤阁舍人。他年少时喜好方术，以药物调养为事，撰写了《补养方》和《必效方》，流传于世。
王方庆是太原人，风度雅正，才华横溢，博学多文，笃爱经典医方，精通药性。
秦鸣鹤不知是哪里人，担任高宗的侍医。（见《唐史》）
许智藏是高阳人。年幼时曾因母亲生病而博览医方，世人称他为名医。他在陈朝任职，担任散骑侍郎。恰逢秦孝王萧俊患病，皇帝紧急召见他。当晚，萧俊梦见已故妃子崔氏哭泣着说：“本来我要去迎接你，听说许智藏即将到来，那人如果到了，一定会让我受苦，该怎么办？”第二天夜里，萧俊又梦见崔氏说：“娘家人得计了，我将进入灵府中躲避。”许智藏到达后为萧俊诊脉，说：“疾病已经入心，随即会发作癫痫，无法救治了。”果然像他说的那样。（出自《隋书》）
巢元方不知是哪里人，在大业年间担任太医博士，奉诏撰写《诸病源候论》五十卷，内容无所不包。（宋宣献撰写的《巢氏病源序》）
元珠先生不知是哪里人，隐显莫测，只有太仆令王冰认识到他是异人，于是拜他为师。元珠精通《素问》，探究其深奥微妙的道理，秘密传授精妙旨意，教导王冰关于五脏六气的修炼养生之法，以及草木药性之理、祛邪去疾的神方。因此，王冰注释了《大经素问》，成为医家的宗师典范。（出自《仙传》）
王冰在宝应年间担任太仆令，笃爱医方，得到了先师所藏的《太素》及全元起的版本，大大加以整理注释《素问》，合为八十一篇，共二十四卷。并且作序说：“将要登上泰山，没有路径怎么行？想要到达扶桑，没有船只不行。”于是他精心勤勉地广泛访问，终于找到了相关人士，历时十二年才达到理论的要旨，询问探讨得失，深深实现了平素的愿望。（出自林光禄《素问序》）
Sun Simiao was a native of Huayuan, Yongzhou. He began his studies at the age of seven, reciting thousands of characters daily. He was skilled in discussing the teachings of Zhuangzi (Zhuang Zhou), Laozi (Lao Tzu), and various schools of thought, and had a natural inclination towards medicine. He extensively studied all classical prescriptions and authored works such as *Qianjin Fang* (Thousand Golden Prescriptions), which were circulated in the world.
Zhang Wenzhong was a native of Luoyang, Luozhou, famous for his medical skills. During the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, he served as Imperial Physician-in-Waiting (Shi Yu Yi) and was particularly adept at treating wind diseases (Feng Ji). When Empress Wu ordered him to compile prescriptions for various ailments, he memorialized: "Wind diseases number one hundred and twenty types; qi disorders number eighty types. Although generally similar, human constitutions vary. Only head wind (Tou Feng) manifests according to timing and requires temporary adjustment. For those with wind-qi invasion, employing purgative or draining methods during late spring/early summer or late autumn prevents severe distress."
Meng Shen was a native of Liang, Ruzhou. He passed the Jinshi examination and, early in the Chui Gong era, was promoted successively to Secretary of the Fengge Pavilion. In his youth, he favored medical arts and focused on dietary therapy and medicinal tonics. He authored *Buyang Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) and *Bixiao Fang* (Prescriptions for Guaranteed Efficacy), which were circulated.
Wang Fangqing was a native of Taiyuan. He possessed an elegant demeanor, broad learning, and literary talent. He deeply loved classical prescriptions and was proficient in materia medica properties.
Qin Minghe's place of origin is unknown. He served as an Imperial Physician-in-Waiting for Emperor Gaozong. (See *History of Tang*)
Xu Zhicang was a native of Gaoyang. In his youth, having seen his mother ill, he extensively studied medical prescriptions, earning the reputation of a renowned physician. He served in the Chen dynasty as Attendant Gentleman of the Palace (Sanqi Shilang). When Prince Xiao of Qin, Xiao Jun, fell ill, the emperor summoned him urgently. That night, Prince Jun dreamed of his deceased consort, Lady Cui, weeping and saying, "I was about to welcome you, but I heard Xu Zhicang is coming. If he arrives, he will surely cause me suffering. What shall I do?" The next night, Prince Jun dreamed again that Lady Cui said, "My natal family has succeeded; I will hide within the Spirit Mansion (Ling Fu)." Upon arrival, Xu Zhicang diagnosed Prince Jun's pulse and stated, "The disease has entered the heart; epilepsy will soon manifest, and it is incurable." This proved true. (From *Book of Sui*)
Chao Yuanfang's place of origin is unknown. During the Daye era, he served as Doctor of the Imperial Medical Bureau. By imperial decree, he compiled *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Origins and Manifestations of All Diseases) in fifty volumes, covering all aspects comprehensively. (Preface to *Chao Shi Bingyuan* by Song Xuanxian)
Master Yuanzhu's place of origin is unknown; his appearances and disappearances were unpredictable. Only Wang Bing, Prefect of the Imperial Stud (Tai Pu Ling), recognized him as an extraordinary person and took him as a teacher. Master Yuanzhu had profound mastery of the *Suwen* (Basic Questions), penetrating its subtle mysteries. He secretly transmitted profound principles, teaching Wang Bing methods for cultivating the qi of the five zang and six fu organs, health preservation, the nature of herbs and minerals, and divine prescriptions for dispelling evil and curing diseases. Consequently, Wang Bing annotated the *Suwen*, establishing it as a canonical model for physicians. (From *Immortal Biographies*)
During the Baoying era, Wang Bing served as Prefect of the Imperial Stud. Devoted to medical texts, he obtained copies of *Taisu* and the works of Quan Yuanqi held by his predecessors. He extensively reorganized and annotated the *Suwen*, compiling them into eighty-one chapters across twenty-four volumes. In his preface, he wrote: "To ascend Mount Dai, what path is used? To reach Fusang, what vessel crosses the sea?" Thus, he diligently sought out experts, spending twelve years to grasp the essential principles, consulting on gains and losses, and fulfilling his long-held aspirations. (Preface to *Suwen* by Lin Guanglu)
