孟子曰∶老吾老，以及人之老。《大学》传曰∶孝、弟、慈三者，修身齐家治国之本也。
夫孝以事亲，移于君为忠，于长为弟，于幼为慈，于众人则仁也，莫不总于斯道斯理，扩而充
之者也。夫子答孟武伯之问∶孝父母惟其疾之忧。故曰∶为人子者，不可不知医也。此予
特编一帙，表而出之，俾为子者，知所慎重而有所取也。弟长慈幼方饵之权衡，可以类推矣。
即吾医尤当洞烛摄养之方，以副人子之孝心，端在是矣。春甫引。
断绝胎孕这一方法，并非医者的本意。为什么呢？天地最大的德行是生育生命，黄帝（太上好生）崇尚生命而厌恶杀戮。现在使用这种方剂，难道是仁人的心肠吗！大概是有情势所迫、不得不为的情况：有的妇女生育过多，母亲担忧难产之苦；有的娼妓尼姑不愿生育，甚至将婴儿弃于沟中，这也是仁人君子不忍看到的景象。如果不制定法规来顺应人情，确实会对母亲造成巨大的伤害。同样是伤害生命，只有在万不得已的情况下，才在卷末补充这些方子，都是那些药性平和、简便易行的药物。像虻虫、水蛭、水银、野狼毒等峻烈之药，一概不收录，请读者审慎辨别。）

孟子说：“尊敬自己的长辈，从而推广到尊敬别人的长辈。”《大学》传文中说：“孝、悌、慈三者，是修身、齐家、治国之本。”
所谓孝是用来侍奉双亲的，推及君主就是忠，对待兄长就是悌，爱护幼小就是慈，对待众人就是仁，没有不统摄于这道理之中的，只要扩充它就可以了。孔子回答孟武伯关于孝的提问时说：“做父母的，只担心子女的疾病。”所以说：“作为子女，不可不懂医术。”这是我特意编纂这一卷册，表彰并列出这些内容，使作为子女的人知道要慎重对待并有所取法。弟长慈幼方剂的运用权衡，可以由此类推。
既然我是医生，更应当透彻洞察调养身体的方法，以符合为人子女的孝心，关键就在这里了。春甫引语。
The method of terminating pregnancy is not the original intention of medical practitioners. Why? The greatest virtue of Heaven and Earth is the generation of life; Tai Shang (the Yellow Emperor) values life and abhors killing. To use such prescriptions now, how could it be the heart of a benevolent person? There are generally circumstances where one cannot help but act: some women have given birth too many times, and the mother fears the difficulties of difficult labor; some prostitutes or nuns do not wish to bear children and even abandon them in ditches, which is also something a benevolent person would be unwilling to see. If no regulations are established to accommodate human sentiments, it will indeed cause great harm to the mother. Since both scenarios involve harming life, only out of absolute necessity are these formulas added at the end of the chapter. They consist entirely of mild and simple medicines. Harsh drugs such as *Bletilla striata* (Mengchong, 虻虫 - horseflies), *Hirudo nipponica* (Shizhi, 水蛭 - leeches), mercury, and *Euphorbia fischeriana* (Yelangdu, 野狼毒) are not included herein. Readers should exercise caution.)
**Termination Formula from *Qianjin Fang***
*Siwu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) (one dose) *Brassica rapa var. parachinensis* seeds (Yuntaizi, 芸苔子) (a handful) *Carthamus tinctorius* (Honghua, 红花) (three qian)
Add one and a half cups of water, decoct until eight-tenths remain. Take on an empty stomach after the menstrual period has passed to prevent conception.
**Effective Termination Formula from *Duanju Fang***
Old silkworm molt paper (two chi square)
Burn into powder, take with wine on an empty stomach to ensure lifelong infertility.
**Expulsion Formula for Fetus and Dead Fetus from *Guangji Fang***
*Trichosanthes kirilowii* root (Tianhuafen, 天花粉) (four liang) *Cinnamomum cassia* (Rougui, 肉桂) *Achyranthes bidentata* (Niuxi, 牛膝) *Soja hispida* fermented bean (Douchi, 豆豉) (each three liang)
Cut the herbs, add seven bowls of water, decoct until two and a half bowls remain. Divide into three doses. After each dose, wait approximately one hour before taking the next.
**Fuzhong Formula for Expelling Fetus in Weak Individuals from *Duanju Fang***
*Panax ginseng* (Renshen, 人参) Licorice root (Fengcao, 粉草) *Ligusticum chuanxiong* (Chuanxiong, 川芎) *Cinnamomum cassia* (Rougui, 肉桂) Dried ginger (Ganjiang, 干姜) Crab claws (Xiezha, 蟹爪) *Scutellaria baicalensis* (Huangqin, 黄芩) *Persicae Semen* (Taoren, 桃仁)
Equal parts of the above herbs. Take one liang per dose, add two zhong of water, decoct until eight-tenths remain. Take on an empty stomach. If ineffective, take again.
Large bran yeast (Wusheng, 五升)
Soak in ten dou of wine, boil two or three times, divide into five doses. Fast overnight, take on an empty stomach as a verification method.
Mencius said: "Respect your own elders, and extend this respect to the elders of others." The Commentary of *The Great Learning* states: "Filial piety, fraternal duty, and compassion are the foundations of self-cultivation, regulating the family, and governing the state."
Filial piety is used to serve parents; extended to the ruler, it becomes loyalty; extended to older brothers, it becomes fraternal duty; extended to the young, it becomes compassion; extended to the masses, it becomes benevolence. All are encompassed by this principle and can be expanded upon. When Confucius answered Meng Wubo's question about filial piety, he said: "Parents worry only about their children's illnesses." Therefore, it is said: "One who is a child must understand medicine." This is why I specially compiled this volume to highlight and present these methods, so that children may know to be cautious and have references to follow. The application of formulas for younger siblings, elders, and the young can be inferred analogously.
As a physician, I ought particularly to thoroughly understand methods of nourishment and preservation to fulfill the filial piety of children; this lies precisely here. Preface by Chunfu.
