【霞外杂俎】
嘉靖丁酉初，予有蜀台之役。一日泊舟空 滩上，以候风色。乃野服登岸眺望。由曲径窈

石梁，又斗折而西行数百步，见峭壁攒峰，如屏如 。中有石潭，水色幽幽，可鉴须眉。潭上有
石笋骈立，势欲坠。有泉出石窦，若喷雪花，潺潺落潭中。傍有盘石如席，石傍有古松三株，虬
枝奇崛，绿阴葳蕤。予欣然会心，乃小甜石上，以观泉流。俄有一翁曳杖而来， 然山人之婆，
似有道气者。予揖而与之坐，款语移时，因问翁知摄生之要乎？翁曰∶吾每日只服一剂快活无忧
散，或遇事不如意，则服一剂和气汤。又问∶翁居闲处独，亦观书杏？翁曰∶吾壮服膺九字经，
今耄矣，惭负此经多矣。又问∶翁于世亦有求乎？翁曰∶人生分定，机关计较，都不济事，俟命
而已。吾何求乎？已而苍然暮色，自回山而出。予遂与翁别。翁袖中探此书授予，且告曰∶此铁

快活无忧散
除烦恼 断妄想
上二味等分，为极细末，用清净汤调下。此方药味虽少，奏功极大，且药性不寒不热，不
苦不辛，不必远求产药之区，自我求之，自我得之。虽《神农本草》所未载，东垣、丹溪所未论
及，自是人间一种妙药。苟能日服一剂，胜服四君子汤百剂也。凡合此药，先要洒扫一净室，窗
棂虚明，前列小槛，栽花种竹，贮水养鱼。室中设一几一榻，一蒲圆，每日踟趺而静，瞑目调息，
服其前药，至二三炷香，任意所适。或散步空庭，迎风弄月，或展玩法帖名画，或歌古诗数首。
倦时则啜苦茶一瓯，就枕偃卧。久久觉神气清爽，天君泰然。不知人间有烦恼，不见我心有烦恼，
则效可睹矣。
和气汤 专治一切客气、怒气、怨气、抑郁不平之气。
先用一个忍字 后用一个忘字
上二味和匀，用不语唾咽下。此方先之以忍，可免一朝之忿也；继之以忘，可无终身之憾也。
服后更饮醇酒五七杯，半酣尤佳。
九字经
勿欺心 谨言语 守廉耻
此经字约而义博，知之甚易，行之甚难。能实践之可为君子。
【孔子沽酒市脯不食】郑康成训沽为榷沽之沽。朱夫子曰∶沽、市，皆买也。盖从郑注。
《诗》云∶无酒沽我。毛氏注谓∶一宿酒曰沽。盖三代无沽酒者，至汉武帝时方有榷沽，则沽酒
似以一宿酒为是。
【霞外杂俎】
嘉靖丁酉年初，我参与了蜀地的军事行动。一天，船停泊在空旷的沙滩上，等待风向合适。我便身着便服登上岸边眺望。沿着曲折幽深的小径，进入平展的树林，跨过石桥，又曲折向西走了几百步，看到陡峭的山壁和聚集的山峰，像屏风又像屏障。中间有一个石潭，水色幽深，可以照见胡须和眉毛。潭边有石笋并排矗立，气势仿佛要坠落。有一股泉水从石洞中流出，像喷射的雪花，潺潺地落入潭中。旁边有一块如席子般平坦的大石头，石头旁有三棵古松，枝干盘曲奇特，绿叶茂盛成荫。我欣然领会其中意趣，于是坐在石头上，观看泉水流动。不久，有一位老人拄着拐杖走来，穿着朴素的山人服饰，似乎有道家气质。我作揖请他坐下，亲切交谈了很长时间，于是问老人是否知道养生要领？老人说：“我每天只服用一剂‘快活无忧散’，如果遇到事情不如意，就服用一剂‘和气汤’。”我又问：“老人在闲居独处时，也读书吗？”老人说：“我年轻时牢记‘九字经’，如今年老力衰，惭愧辜负这经文很多。”我又问：“老人在世间还有什么追求吗？”老人说：“人生命运已定，机关算尽、斤斤计较，都没有用，只是听天由命罢了。我有什么可求的呢？”不久天色苍茫，暮色降临，我从山中返回。于是我与老人告别。老人从袖中取出这本书递给我，并且告诉我说：“这是铁脚道人编纂的。冒昧地把它作为献给尊客的寿礼。”我回到船上，取出收到的书阅读。老人在石头上所说的话，书中样样都有。连续几天反复阅读，喜爱它言辞简易而警策，如果终身践行，受益无穷。于是让人用楷书抄写了几份，寄给家乡的亲友。东谷居士敖英在瞿塘峡口的船中书写。
快活无忧散
去除烦恼，断绝妄想。
以上两味药（指“除烦恼”和“断妄想”所代表的意念或行为），各取等分，研磨成极细粉末，用清净的水调服。这个方子药味虽然少，功效却极大，而且药性不寒不热，不苦不辛，不必远求产药之地，自我寻求，自我获得。虽然《神农本草经》没有记载，李东垣、朱丹溪也没有论及，但这确实是人间一种妙药。如果能每天服用一剂，胜过服用一百剂四君子汤。凡是配制此药，首先要打扫一间干净的屋子，窗户明亮，前面摆放小栏杆，种花养竹，储水养鱼。室中设置一张几案和一张床榻，一个蒲团，每天盘腿静坐，闭目调息，服药后，直到烧完两三炷香的时间，随意活动。或者在空庭散步，迎风赏月，或者欣赏法帖名画，或者吟唱古诗几首。疲倦时就喝一碗苦茶，躺下休息。久而久之，觉得神气清爽，心神安宁。不知道人间有烦恼，看不见心中有烦恼，那么效验就可以看到了。
和气汤
专门治疗一切客邪之气、怒气、怨气、抑郁不平之气。
先用一个“忍”字，后用一个是“忘”字。
以上两味（指“忍”和“忘”的心态），混合均匀，用不说话时的唾液咽下。这个方子先以“忍”为主，可以避免一时的愤怒；继之以“忘”，可以避免终身的遗憾。服药后再喝五到七杯醇酒，半醉状态尤其好。
九字经
不要欺骗良心，谨慎言语，坚守廉耻。
这部经文文字简约而意义广博，知道很容易，实行很难。能切实实践的人可以成为君子。
【孔子买市售的酒肉不吃】郑玄将“沽”解释为榷沽之沽。朱熹说：“沽”、“市”，都是买的意思。大概遵循郑玄的注释。《诗经》说：“无酒沽我。”毛亨注解说：“一宿的酒叫做沽。”大概夏商周三代没有卖酒的，到了汉武帝时期才有官营专卖，那么“沽酒”似乎以“一宿的酒”为是。
[Xia Wai Za Zu]
In the early year of Dingyou in the Jiajing era, I participated in military campaigns in Shu. One day, while our boat was moored on an empty beach waiting for favorable wind conditions, I donned casual attire and ascended the shore to gaze into the distance. Following a winding and secluded path, I entered a flat forest, crossed a stone bridge, and then zigzagged westward for several hundred steps. There, I saw steep cliffs and clustered peaks resembling screens or barriers. In the center lay a stone pool with dark, clear water that could reflect one's beard and eyebrows. Beside the pool stood stone pillars side by side, appearing as if they might fall. A spring issued from a rock crevice, spraying like snowflakes, and gurgled into the pool. Nearby lay a large, flat stone like a mat; beside it grew three ancient pines with twisted, rugged branches and lush green shade. Delighted by this scene, I sat upon the stone to watch the flowing spring. Soon, an old man approached, leaning on a cane, dressed in simple mountain hermit clothing, exuding a Daoist aura. I bowed and invited him to sit, engaging in heartfelt conversation for some time. I then asked if he knew the essentials of preserving health. He replied, "I only take one dose of 'Kuaihuo Wuyou San' (Happy and Carefree Powder) daily. If matters are unsatisfactory, I take one dose of 'Heqi Tang' (Harmonious Qi Decoction)." I asked again, "When living in leisure and solitude, do you also read books?" He said, "In my youth, I kept the 'Nine-Character Scripture' firmly in mind. Now that I am old, I feel ashamed for having failed this scripture many times." I asked further, "Do you have any desires in this world?" He answered, "Destiny is fixed for all life. Scheming and calculating are useless; one must simply await fate. What else could I seek?" As twilight deepened, I returned from the mountains. We parted ways. The old man took a book from his sleeve and handed it to me, saying, "This was compiled by Iron-Foot Daoist. I dare to offer it as a longevity gift to you." Returning to my boat, I opened the received book for reading. Everything the old man had said on the stone was recorded therein. Reading it repeatedly over several days, I cherished its simple yet profound words, believing that practicing them throughout one's life would yield endless benefits. Thus, I ordered someone to copy several passages in regular script to send to relatives and friends back home. Written by Donggu Jushi (Hermit Donggu), Ao Ying, aboard a boat at the mouth of Qutang Gorge.
**Kuaihuo Wuyou San (Happy and Carefree Powder)**
Eliminate worries, sever delusions.
The above two elements [referring to the mental acts of eliminating worries and severing delusions], in equal parts, are ground into an extremely fine powder and taken with clean water. Although this formula contains few ingredients, its efficacy is great. Its nature is neither cold nor hot, neither bitter nor pungent. It requires no distant sourcing of medicinal materials; one seeks it within oneself and obtains it from oneself. Although not recorded in *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) nor discussed by Li Dongyuan or Zhu Danxi, it is indeed a wonderful medicine in the human realm. If one takes one dose daily, it surpasses taking one hundred doses of Sizijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction). To prepare this medicine, one must first clean a room thoroughly, ensuring windows are bright, placing small railings in front, planting flowers and bamboo, storing water and raising fish. Inside the room, set up a table, a bed, and a meditation cushion. Every day, sit cross-legged in stillness, close your eyes, regulate your breathing, take the medicine beforehand, and continue until two or three incense sticks have burned. Then move freely as you wish. You may stroll in the empty courtyard, enjoy the wind and moon, admire calligraphy copies and famous paintings, or chant ancient poems. When tired, drink a cup of bitter tea and lie down to rest. Over time, you will feel refreshed in spirit and qi, and your mind (Tianjun) will be tranquil. You will be unaware of worldly worries and see no worries in your heart; thus, the efficacy will be evident.
**Heqi Tang (Harmonious Qi Decoction)**
Specifically treats all types of external pathogenic qi, anger qi, resentment qi, and depressed or uneven qi.
First, employ the character "Ren" (Endurance/Tolerance); subsequently, employ the character "Wang" (Forgetfulness).
The above two elements [referring to the mental states of endurance and forgetfulness] are mixed evenly and swallowed with saliva produced during silence. This formula begins with "endurance," which prevents sudden anger; followed by "forgetfulness," which avoids lifelong regrets. After taking it, drink five to seven cups of mellow wine; being slightly intoxicated is particularly beneficial.
**Nine-Character Scripture**
Do not deceive your conscience, be cautious in speech, uphold integrity and shame.
This scripture is concise in wording but broad in meaning. Knowing it is easy, but practicing it is difficult. Those who can practically implement it can become gentlemen.
[Confucius did not eat wine or dried meat bought in the market] Zheng Xuan interpreted "Gu" as referring to official liquor sales. Zhu Xi stated: "Gu" and "Shi" both mean to buy. This likely follows Zheng's commentary. The *Classic of Poetry* says: "Buy wine for me." Mao Heng's commentary states: "Wine brewed for one night is called Gu." Generally, there were no wine sellers in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties; official monopolies began in the time of Emperor Wu of Han. Therefore, "buying wine" likely refers to wine brewed for one night.
