论述说：在清浊之气尚未分化之时，没有白天黑夜的区别；当玄黄（天地）开始分离时，才出现了温暖与凉爽的变化。四季由此区分，降生了寒冷与暑热，日月星三光照耀得灿烂辉煌，太阳的影像有亏损也有盈满。人禀受了五常之性，腠理（皮肤纹理及汗孔）有通畅也有闭塞，所以老子说：“我之所以有大患，是因为我有身体，如果我没有身体，我还有什么祸患呢？”从这一点来看，形体既然已经确立，那么疾病也就随之产生了。静下来思考这个问题，只有无形无相的东西才能远离忧患。天地和圣人尚且不能免除祸患，何况像风前烛火一样脆弱的人呢？古代有擅长调理针石、切脉诊病的君主，有亲自尝药、炼石补天的帝王，以及那些为众多生灵忧虑操劳而不得安宁的人，数量也很多了。从那时以后，穷尽神妙智慧的人士，竭尽心思的贤能之士，共同辅助成就这一事业的人，多得无法记录。因此医方虽有千卷，却未能穷尽医道的本性，所以有了汤药疗法、针灸疗法、禁咒疗法、符印疗法、导引疗法，这五种方法，都是救急的手段。为什么呢？疾病的发生没有端绪，医疗的方法虽然繁多，但在民间之中，仍有遗憾悲哀之事；在朝廷社会之间，尚且有难以治愈的疾病，这确实可悲啊。如今的医者，学习不考察古法，见识悟性不够深远，各自继承家传技艺，就自以为通达透彻，自负自己的长处，竞相指责别人的短处。由于这种固执己见，最终无法汲取医道的源流精髓。我早年仰慕方技，长大后尊崇医道，偶然遇到一种方法，岂会吝惜千金，于是使名方异术，不再有所隐秘。况且这本书，人间都有流传，但文字零散重叠，不成卷轴格式，即使现在有的，也不过是三章两章，既不专精深入，探究其最高功效，终究难以完备。这一种方法，体性是神秘奥妙的，详看它的辞采，不合常情，所以不可通过推理来知晓。只要按照法则施行，功效出乎意料之外，如果不加以整理收集，恐怕将会失传零落。如今编纂为两卷，共二十二篇，命名为《禁经》。其中的条例，在后面章节中详细列出。博雅君子，请不要对此隐而不传。
Commentary states: When the clear and turbid energies had not yet differentiated, there was no distinction between day and night; only when Xuanhuang (Heaven and Earth) began to separate did warmth and coolness appear. The four seasons were thus divided, giving rise to cold and heat, while the three lights (Sun, Moon, and Stars) shone brilliantly, with the sun's image waxing and waning. Humans are endowed with the Five Constants, and their Couli (skin texture and pores) may be open or closed. Therefore, Laozi said: "The reason I have great afflictions is that I have a body; if I did not have a body, what affliction would I have?" From this perspective, once the physical form is established, illness inevitably arises. Reflecting quietly on this matter, only that which is formless can remain far from worries and dangers. Even Heaven, Earth, and Sages cannot escape afflictions, let alone humans who are as fragile as a candle flame in the wind. In ancient times, there were rulers skilled in regulating acupuncture needles and taking pulses, emperors who tasted herbs and refined stones to mend the sky, and countless others who labored anxiously for all living beings without rest. Since then, scholars who exhausted divine wisdom and sages who poured out their hearts and thoughts, assisting together in this endeavor, are too numerous to record. Thus, although medical formulas number in the thousands, they do not fully exhaust the nature of medicine. Hence, there are decoction therapies, acupuncture and moxibustion therapies, incantation therapies, talisman seal therapies, and Dao Yin (guiding and pulling) therapies. These five methods are all emergency rescue techniques. Why? Because diseases arise without clear origin, and despite the myriad medical treatments, there is still sorrow over mistakes within the common people; among the court and society, incurable diseases persist, which is truly lamentable. Current physicians, failing to study antiquity and lacking deep insight, rely solely on family traditions, claiming mastery, boasting of their strengths, and disparaging others' weaknesses. Due to such stubbornness, they ultimately fail to grasp the source and flow of medical knowledge. I admired technical arts in my youth and revered the medical way in my maturity. Upon encountering a certain method, how could I hesitate to share it for a thousand gold pieces? Thus, famous formulas and unique techniques are no longer kept secret. Moreover, this book exists in various forms throughout the world, but its text is fragmented and disordered, lacking a scroll format. Even existing copies contain merely two or three chapters, lacking specialization and depth, making them incomplete in exploring the highest efficacy. This particular method possesses a mysterious nature; its language is unconventional and does not conform to ordinary reasoning, so it cannot be understood through deduction alone. However, by following the prescribed methods, the therapeutic effects exceed expectations. If not compiled and preserved, it risks being lost. It is now edited into two volumes, comprising twenty-two chapters, titled *Jin Jing* (Scripture of Incantations). The detailed regulations are provided in subsequent sections. Learned gentlemen, please do not conceal this knowledge.
