医门得岐黄血脉者,扁鹊一人而已。扁鹊黄帝时人,授黄帝《太乙神明论》,着《五色脉诊》、《三世病
源》,后淳于意、华佗所受者是也。第二扁鹊,战国时人。姓秦名越人,齐内都人,采《内经》之书,撰《八
十一难》,慨正法得传者少,每以扁鹊自比,谓医之正派,我独得传,乃扁鹊再出也,故自号扁鹊。第三扁鹊,
大宋窦材是也,余学《素问》、《灵枢》,得黄帝心法,革古今医人大弊,保天下苍生性命,常以扁鹊自任,
非敢妄拟古人,盖亦有所征焉。尝因路过衢州野店,见一妇人遍身浮肿露地而坐。余曰∶何不
在门内坐?妇曰∶昨日蒙土地告我,明日有扁鹊过此,可求治病,我故于此候之。余曰∶汝若听我,我当救汝。
妇曰∶汝非医人,安能治病?余曰∶我虽非医,然得扁鹊真传,有奇方,故神预告汝。遂与保命延寿丹十粒服
之,夜间小便约去二升,五更觉饥。二次又服十五粒,点左命关穴,灸二百壮。五日后,大便下白脓五七块,
半月全安。妇曰∶真扁鹊再生也。(予治数人患此症者,浮肿、喘急,卧难着席,浆粥俱不入矣,既无丹药亦
不肯灸,只用重剂姜附十余帖,而形体复旧,饮食如常,可知人能信用温化,即不灸亦有生机。)
想扁鹊独倚其才,旁游列国为同道刺死,华佗亦不传其法,为人 死,皆因秘而不发,招人之忌耳。余将
心法尽传于世,凡我同心肯学正传,不妨亦以扁鹊自命可也。(舜何人哉,予何人哉,有为者亦若是。)
在医学领域中,能继承岐伯与黄帝(中医始祖)血脉传承的,只有扁鹊这一位。扁鹊是黄帝时代的人,接受了黄帝传授的《太乙神明论》,撰写了《五色脉诊》和《三世病源》,后来淳于意和华佗所接受的医术正是源自于此。第二位扁鹊,是战国时期的人,姓秦名越人,齐国都城临淄人,他采集《黄帝内经》的内容,编撰了《难经》(即《八十一难》),感慨正统医法流传者甚少,常常以扁鹊自比,认为医学的正统流派唯独由他传承,是扁鹊再世,因此自号扁鹊。第三位扁鹊,就是大宋国的窦材,我学习《素问》和《灵枢》,得授黄帝的心法,革除古今医生最大的弊端,保全天下百姓的生命,常常以扁鹊自任,不敢妄自比拟古人,这也是有所依据的。
曾经路过衢州的一家野外旅店,看见一位妇人全身浮肿,坐在露天地上。我问她:“为什么不在门内坐?”妇人说:“昨天蒙土地神告知,明天有扁鹊经过这里,可以求他治病,所以我在此等候。”我说:“你若听我的话,我会救你。”妇人说:“你不是医生,怎么能治病?”我说:“我虽然不是医生,但得到了扁鹊的真传,有奇特的药方,所以神灵预先告诉你。”于是给了她保命延寿丹十粒服用,夜间小便排出了约两升,五更天时感到饥饿。第二次又服用了十五粒,并点按左边的命关穴,施灸二百壮。五天后,大便排出了五六块白色脓状物,半个月后完全康复。妇人说:“真是扁鹊再生啊。”(我曾治疗过几位患此症的人,症状为浮肿、气喘急促,难以躺卧在床上,连米汤粥食都无法入口,既然没有丹药也不肯艾灸,只使用重剂量的干姜和附子十余帖,身体便恢复原状,饮食如常,可知人若能信任并使用温化之法,即使不艾灸也有生机。)
我想扁鹊独自倚仗他的才华,周游列国时被同道中人刺杀;华佗也没有将医术传给后人,被人害死,都是因为医术秘而不宣,招致他人的嫉妒罢了。我将心法全部传授于世,凡是我志同道合、愿意学习正统传承的人,不妨也自称为扁鹊。(舜是什么样的人呢?我是什么样的人呢?有所作为的人也会像他一样。)
Among the medical profession, only Bian Que has inherited the lineage of Qibo and Huangdi (the mythical founders of Traditional Chinese Medicine). Bian Que was a person from the time of the Yellow Emperor; he received the *Taiyi Shenming Lun* (Treatise on Taiyi Divine Illumination) taught by the Yellow Emperor, and authored the *Wuse Maizhen* (Five-Color Pulse Diagnosis) and *Sanshi Bingyuan* (Sources of Diseases in Three Eras). The medical knowledge later received by Chunyu Yi and Hua Tuo originated from this source.
The second Bian Que was a person from the Warring States period. His surname was Qin and his given name was Yueren. He was from Linzi, the capital of Qi. He compiled the content of the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) to write the *Nanjing* (Classic of Difficult Issues, also known as *Eighty-One Difficulties*). Lamenting that few had received the transmission of orthodox medical methods, he often compared himself to Bian Que, stating that the orthodox school of medicine was uniquely transmitted to him, making him a reincarnation of Bian Que; thus, he gave himself the pseudonym Bian Que.
The third Bian Que is Dou Cai of the Great Song Dynasty. I studied the *Suwen* (Basic Questions) and *Lingshu* (Spiritual Pivot), received the esoteric teachings of the Yellow Emperor, reformed the greatest flaws of ancient and modern physicians, and preserved the lives of the common people under heaven. I often take upon myself the role of Bian Que. This is not an arrogant comparison with ancients, but is based on evidence.
Once, while passing through a rural inn in Quzhou, I saw a woman suffering from generalized edema sitting on the ground outdoors. I asked her, "Why do you not sit inside the door?" She replied, "Yesterday, the Earth God informed me that Bian Que would pass through here tomorrow, so I could seek treatment from him. Therefore, I waited here for him." I said, "If you listen to me, I will save you." She said, "You are not a physician; how can you treat illness?" I said, "Although I am not a physician, I have received the true transmission of Bian Que and possess miraculous prescriptions, which is why the deity forewarned you." I then gave her ten pills of *Baoming Yanshou Dan* (Life-Preserving Longevity Pill) to take. That night, she urinated approximately two sheng (a traditional unit of volume), and at dawn (wugeng), she felt hungry. For the second dose, she took fifteen pills, and I stimulated the Mingguan acupoint on the left side, applying moxibustion for 200 moxa cones (zhuang). Five days later, she passed five or six pieces of white purulent matter in her stool, and within half a month, she was fully recovered. The woman said, "Truly, Bian Que has been reborn."
(Note: I treated several other patients with this same condition, presenting with edema, rapid breathing, inability to lie flat on a bed, and refusal of all food and drink. Since they lacked the pills and refused moxibustion, I used heavy doses of dried ginger (Ganjiang) and prepared aconite (Fuzi) for more than ten prescriptions. Their physical forms returned to normal, and their appetite recovered. This demonstrates that if one trusts and utilizes warming and transforming methods, there is still hope for survival even without moxibustion.)
I believe Bian Que relied solely on his talent, traveled among the states, and was assassinated by fellow practitioners. Hua Tuo also did not transmit his methods and was killed by others. Both met their ends because they kept their skills secret, thereby attracting jealousy. I now transmit these esoteric teachings to the world. Anyone who shares my aspirations and is willing to learn the orthodox transmission may well call themselves Bian Que. ("What kind of person was Shun? What kind of person am I? Those who strive can be like him.")
