有一位姓韩的人,名讳不详,是西蜀地区武官世家的子弟,也是一位道士。他心存仁爱之心,喜好研读诗书,仰慕上古时代高尚的风尚,精通研究医药救人的技艺。他所撰写的关于痰火等病症的论述共两卷,能够阐发古代圣人的深意,世间流传着韩氏的《医通》一书。
另一位号橘泉的人,是四明人,世代以行医为业。他的医术日益精湛,诊察病情、用药方面有独到的见解,常常获得奇妙的疗效。在永乐年间,他被征召进入太医院,京城的官员士绅们都对他表示尊敬和佩服,我的同乡篁墩的程尚书为他写了传记。
还有一位名叫济,字世仁的人,是余姚人,在景泰年间因孝顺的行为而闻名。他从事医学工作,医术达到了精妙的境界,皇帝下诏表彰他的家门。
还有一位字楚祥的人,年少时失去父亲,秉承母亲的教诲研习儒家经典,后来他说:“医学是仁爱的技艺。”如果精通它,对上可以侍奉君主和父母,对下可以救济百姓万物,于是深入探究《黄帝内经·素问》和《难经》的要旨。他以医术闻名于淮扬地区。正统初年,被征召为太医。景泰年间,太医院使董宿向皇上推荐他,他侍奉诊治并奏效,广泛招收四方名医聚集在京城,致力于保养皇帝身体为己任。成化年间,升任南京太医院判。
还有一位吴地人,医术造诣精深微妙。弘治年间,一位教谕患有消瘦虚弱的疾病,各位医生讨论认为是三白汤证,使用此方没有效果。他又请求养正来治疗,养正也使用三白汤,只是加入熟附子二三片,病立即痊愈。
还有一位字尚文,号节庵的人,是余杭人。幼年读儒家书籍,长大后精通医学,深入研究《伤寒论》,著有《琐言》、《杀车槌》、《一提金》、《明理论》等书,可以说是用心勤勉,足以成为初学者的规范了。
还有一位字源洁,是混陵人,在永乐年间考中进士,担任近侍官职,奉命出使四方,他耳目所遇有对百姓有利的事情,大多上奏并施行。然而这不足以充实他的志向,于是兼用心于医学,得到好的药物或良方,就自行记录,收集既丰富,命名为《卫生易简方》,上表进献,刊印发行于世。官职做到礼部尚书。
A person surnamed Han, whose given name is not recorded, was a member of a military family in Western Shu and also a Daoist priest. He harbored a benevolent heart, enjoyed reading poetry and books, admired the noble customs of ancient times, and mastered the art of medicine to save lives. His two-volume treatises on phlegm-fire and other conditions were able to elucidate the profound intentions of ancient sages; the world transmits Han's *Yi Tong* (Medical Compendium).
Another individual, styled Juquan (Orange Spring), was from Siming and came from a family that practiced medicine for generations. His skills became increasingly refined; he possessed exceptional insight in diagnosing conditions and prescribing medications, often achieving miraculous effects. During the Yongle reign, he was summoned to the Imperial Medical Academy. The officials and gentry in the capital all respected and admired him. Cheng Shangshu (Minister Cheng) from Huangdun, my hometown, wrote his biography.
Another person named Ji, with the courtesy name Shirén, was from Yuyao. He became known for his filial piety during the Jingtai reign. He practiced medicine, and his skills reached a state of subtlety and perfection. An imperial edict was issued to commend his household.
Another individual, with the courtesy name Chuxiang, lost his father when young. Following his mother's teachings, he studied Confucianism, but later said, "Medicine is an art of benevolence." If one masters it, one can serve the ruler and parents above, and aid people and things below. Thus, he deeply investigated the principles of the *Suwen* (Basic Questions) and *Nanjing* (Classic of Difficult Issues). He became famous for his medical practice in the Huaiyang region. In the early Zhengtong reign, he was conscripted as an Imperial Physician. During the Jingtai reign, Dong Su, the Director of the Medical Academy, recommended him to the Emperor. He attended to the Emperor's medication and achieved success. He gathered renowned scholars from all directions in the capital, taking it upon himself to preserve the Emperor's health. In the Chenghua reign, he was promoted to Vice-Director of the Nanjing Imperial Medical Academy.
Another person from the Wu region had medical skills that were profound and subtle. During the Hongzhi reign, a tutor suffered from a wasting disease. Various physicians discussed it as a Sanbai Tang (Three Whites Decoction) syndrome and used it without effect. He then sought treatment from Yangzheng. Yangzheng also used Sanbai Tang (Three Whites Decoction), adding only two or three slices of Prepared Aconite Root (Shu Fuzi), and the illness immediately resolved.
Another individual, with the courtesy name Shangwen and the pseudonym Jian'an, was from Yuhang. He read Confucian classics in his youth and mastered medicine in his adulthood. He thoroughly investigated the *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders) and authored *Suoyan* (Trivial Words), *Shachechui* (Carriage Wheel Hammer), *Yitijin* (One Lift Gold), and *Mingli Lun* (Discourse on Clarifying Principles). This could be described as diligent in effort, serving as a standard for beginners.
Another individual, with the courtesy name Yuanjie, was from Hunling. He passed the imperial examinations during the Yongle reign and served as a close attendant. Sent on missions to various regions, whenever he encountered matters beneficial to the people through his observations, he mostly memorialized them and implemented them. However, this was insufficient to fulfill his aspirations, so he also devoted himself to medicine. Whenever he found good medicines or effective prescriptions, he recorded them himself. Having collected a rich volume, he titled it *Weisheng Yijian Fang* (Simple Prescriptions for Hygiene and Health), presented it via a memorial, and it was printed and circulated in the world. He rose to the rank of Minister of Rites.
