刘无名尝于庚申日守三尸服雄黄后见二鬼曰我泰山真符来摄君见君顶上黄光数尺不可近
得非雄黄之功乎(琐碎录)
鄱阳周顺医有十全之功云古方如圣惠千金外台秘要所论病源脉症及针灸法皆不可废然处
方分
剂与今大异不深究其旨者谨勿妄用有人得目疾用古方治之目遂突出又有妇人因产病用外台秘
要坐导方其后反得恶露之疾终身不瘥曾有士人得脚弱病方书罗列积药如山而疾益甚余令屏去
但用杉木为桶濯足及令排樟脑于两股间以脚 系定月余而安健如故南方多此疾不可不知顺固
名医语必不妄故书以为诫(遁斋闲览)
绍兴十九年三月英州僧希赐往州南三十里 口扫塔有客船自番禺至舟中士人携一仆仆病
脚弱
不能行舟师悯之曰吾有一药治此病如神饵之而瘥者不可胜计当以相与既赛庙毕饮胙颇醉乃入
山求得药渍酒授病者令天未明服之如其言药入口即呻吟云肠胃极痛如刀割截迟明而死士人以
咎舟师舟师恚曰何有此即取昨夕所余药自渍酒服之不超时亦死盖山多断肠草人食之辄死
而舟师所取药为根蔓所缠结醉不暇择径投酒中是以及于祸则知草药不可妄服也(甲志)
刘无名曾经在庚申日守护三尸神并服用雄黄之后，看见两个鬼说：“我是泰山真符，来拘摄你。”他们看见他头顶上有几尺高的黄色光芒，无法靠近。这难道不是雄黄的功劳吗？（出自《琐碎录》）
鄱阳人周顺是位医生，有“十全”的医术声誉。他说：古代医方如《太平圣惠方》、《千金方》、《外台秘要》、《诸病源候论》中讨论的病源、脉象、症状以及针灸方法，都不可废弃。然而，其中的处方分量和剂量与现在大不相同，如果不深入探究其宗旨，千万不要随意使用。有人得了眼疾，用古方治疗，结果眼睛突然突出；又有妇人因产后疾病，使用《外台秘要》中的坐药导引方，结果反而得了恶露不尽的疾病，终身不愈。曾经有位士人得了脚弱病，方书罗列，堆积的药像山一样多，但病情却更加严重。我让他停用所有药物，只用杉木做的桶洗脚，并让他在两股之间放置樟脑，将脚固定住，一个多月后便恢复健康如初。南方这种病很多，不可不知道。周顺确实是名医，说话一定不妄言，所以记录下来作为告诫。（出自《遁斋闲览》）
绍兴十九年三月，英州僧人希赐前往州南三十里的某地清扫佛塔。有一艘客船从番禺到达，船上有一位士人带着一个仆人，仆人患有脚弱病，不能行走。船工怜悯他，说：“我有一种药，治疗这个病灵验如神，服用后痊愈的人不计其数，现在送给你。”祭祀完庙宇后，大家共饮祭肉之酒，士人喝得有些醉意，于是进山寻找药物，浸泡在酒中，交给病人，命令他在天亮前服用。按照他的说法，药入口即发出呻吟声，说肠胃极度疼痛，像被刀割截断一样，等到天亮时死亡。士人责怪船工，船工愤怒地说：“怎么会有这种事？”于是取回昨晚剩下的药，自己浸泡在酒中服用，不到一小时也死了。大概是因为山里有很多断肠草，人吃了就会死，而船工所取的药被根蔓缠绕纠结，醉酒后没有闲暇仔细挑选，直接投入酒中，因此招致祸患。由此可知草药不可随意服用。（出自《甲志》）
病位在胸膈以上的，先吃饭后服药；病位在心腹以下的，先服药后吃饭；病位在四肢血脉的，宜空腹并在早晨服用；病位在骨髓的，宜饱腹并在夜间服用。（出自《本草》相关论述）
Liu Wuming once guarded the Three Corpses (Shensi, three worms residing in the human body that report one's faults to heaven) on a Gengshen day and took Realgar (Xionghuang). Afterwards, he saw two ghosts who said, "I am the True Talisman of Mount Tai, here to seize you." They saw a yellow light several feet high above his head and could not approach. Was this not the merit of Realgar? (From *Suosui Lu*)
Zhou Shun of Poyang was a physician renowned for his perfect medical skills ("Ten Perfections"). He stated: Ancient prescriptions such as those in *Taiping Shenghui Fang* (Imperial Grace Formulas), *Qianjin Fang* (Thousand Gold Prescriptions), *Waitai Miyao* (Essential Prescriptions from the Outer Cabinet), and *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases), which discuss disease origins, pulse patterns, symptoms, and acupuncture methods, must not be discarded. However, the dosage and formulation of these prescriptions differ significantly from modern practices. Those who do not deeply investigate their principles should not use them recklessly. There was a case where a patient with an eye disease used an ancient prescription and suffered sudden protrusion of the eyeball. There was also a woman with postpartum illness who used a vaginal suppository formula from *Waitai Miyao*, but subsequently developed chronic lochia retention that never healed. Once, a scholar suffered from weak legs (Jiaoruo). The books of prescriptions listed remedies piled up like mountains, yet his condition worsened. I instructed him to discontinue all medications and only wash his feet in a bucket made of Chinese Fir wood (Cunninghamia lanceolata), while placing Camphor (Zhangnao) between his thighs and securing his legs. After more than a month, he recovered fully. This disease is common in the South and cannot be ignored. Zhou Shun is indeed a famous physician; his words are not baseless. Therefore, I recorded this as a warning. (From *Dunzhai Xianlan*)
In the third month of the 19th year of Shaoxing (1149 AD), Monk Xici of Yingzhou went to sweep the pagoda thirty li south of the prefecture. A passenger boat arrived from Panyu. On board, a scholar had a servant suffering from weak legs who could not walk. The boatman pitied him and said, "I have a medicine that treats this disease with miraculous efficacy; countless people have recovered after taking it. I will give it to you." After the temple sacrifice ceremony, they drank the sacrificial wine together. The scholar became somewhat drunk, then entered the mountains to find the medicine, soaked it in wine, and gave it to the sick servant, instructing him to take it before dawn. Following this instruction, as soon as the medicine entered the mouth, the servant groaned, saying his intestines and stomach were in extreme pain, as if cut by a knife. By dawn, he died. The scholar blamed the boatman. The boatman, angry, said, "How can this happen?" He then took the remaining medicine from the previous night, soaked it in wine, and consumed it himself. Within less than an hour, he also died. It seems there are many *Gelsemium elegans* (Duanchangcao, Intestine-Severing Grass) in the mountains; ingestion causes death. The medicine the boatman collected was entangled with roots and vines. Being drunk, he did not have the leisure to select carefully and threw it directly into the wine, thus bringing about disaster. Thus, we know that herbal medicines should not be taken recklessly. (From *Jia Zhi*)
When the disease is located above the chest and diaphragm, eat first and then take medicine. When the disease is located below the heart and abdomen, take medicine first and then eat. When the disease is located in the four limbs and blood vessels, it is suitable to take medicine on an empty stomach in the morning. When the disease is located in the bone marrow, it is suitable to take medicine when full at night. (From *Bencao* literature)
