从前陆宣公（陆贽）被罢免宰相职务后，曾经收集医方书籍以仁爱之心对待世人。由此可以想见他在执掌国家大政之时，所施行的恩泽，受益的人又怎么数得尽呢？这就是医道之所以被古今的君子大人所看重的原因，难道不是因为它的大理与天地造化相参合，具有扭转乾坤的功效吗？《玉机微义》这部书是不可缺少的，这两位君子（指陈都宪和杨少师）的用心也是辛劳的。这本书的稿本虽然存在，但未能在世间流传，所以知道它的人很少。姑苏都宪陈公奉命来镇守陕西石泉等地，在宗浓家中得到了它，才命令刻印出版，使晦暗的书稿重新显扬于世。少师大学士西昌杨先生，高兴地为此书写了一篇序言，这真是这本书的荣幸，名声必将流传后世无疑。闲暇时日，我和几位同僚朋友，得以通读全书。书中偶尔有“鲁鱼亥豕”（指文字传抄刊刻中的错误）这样的讹误，固然责任在于接受命令的人不够严谨，而且也有辜负了都宪先生的雅意，也不足以符合少师先生恭敬体恤百姓、爱惜万物的仁心。于是取来原稿进行校对，凡是字义差谬的地方，都整理并纠正过来，希望让后来的学习之人没有困惑。恭敬地写下这些作为附录在后面。

我从童年进入郡学读书以来，在读书之余，对医术有志向。但又担心精力分散，耽误了急务。私下感叹这门技艺，如果由我自己去钻研，恐怕赶不上……（原文此处有缺失或语意未完，依文意推测为：不如直接获取现成成果）。甘州，就是汉代的张掖、酒泉郡。而名医刘宗浓，拥有神方妙术，至今仍有留存。于是邀请他的后人，以礼相待，恳切请求，他慷慨地将《太素脉诀》、《杂病治例》赠予我。我就像获得了随侯珠和赵国和氏璧一样，高兴得不能自已。连日来检阅研究，发现他诊脉辨证、治疗疾病用药，深奥微妙，很有法度。急救扶危，起死回生，以及吉凶贵贱的预测，也都包含在其中。本想立即刻印发行，但财力又不足以支撑。如今有幸凭借浅薄的才能来担任应天府上元县的县令，于是捐献出自己的俸禄，来实现昔日的愿望，并且记录下得到这本书的缘由。唉，儒家前辈说过：“即使是地位低微的官员，如果存心爱护万物，对世人一定有所补益。”我读儒家书籍，蒙受上级任命，作为百姓的父母官，怎敢不把救济世人、利益万物放在心上呢？这本书的流行，让更多人得到它，不仅仅像记里车（古代计算里程的车）有了凭据。通过诀要察知医理，遵循范例治疗疾病，其济世利人的功效难道是很浅薄的吗？

In the past, when Lu Xiangong (Lu Zhi) was dismissed from his post as Chancellor, he collected medical prescriptions with a benevolent heart to benefit people. One can imagine that during his time in power and governance, the grace he bestowed upon others was immeasurable. This is why the Way of Medicine has been valued by great men and gentlemen of all ages; is it not because its principles align with the transformations of nature, possessing the power to turn the tide? *Yuji Wei Yi* [Jade Machine Subtle Meanings] is an indispensable work; the efforts of these two gentlemen were indeed arduous. Although this manuscript existed, it had not been circulated in the world, so few knew of it. Chen Gong, Censor-in-Chief of Gusu, was commissioned to govern Shiquan in Shaanxi. He obtained it from the home of Zong Nong and ordered it to be woodblock printed, bringing it from obscurity into prominence again. Yang Shao Shi, Grand Secretary and University Scholar from Xichang, wrote a preface for it with joy. This is truly an honor for this book, and its fame will undoubtedly be transmitted to posterity. During my leisure time, I and a few colleagues were able to read the entire book thoroughly. There were occasional textual errors (such as "Lu Yu Hai Shi," referring to copying mistakes). While the responsibility lies with those who undertook the task being less rigorous, it also fails to meet the noble intentions of the Censor-in-Chief and does not fully reflect the Revered Master's sincere intention to respect the people and cherish all things. Therefore, I took the original manuscript to collate and proofread it. Any characters with incorrect meanings were corrected and rectified, hoping to prevent confusion for future students. I respectfully write these words as an appendix at the end.
The date is the 15th day of the second month of spring in the Gengshen year of the Zhengtong era. Written by Wang Xian, Right Provincial Administrator of the Shaanxi Branch Secretariat for the Distribution of Governmental Affairs, from Kuaiji; collated together by Guo Jian, Left Provincial Administrator, and others.
Since my childhood, when I entered the local academy to study, I had aspirations for medicine amidst my reading. However, I feared that dividing my effort might hinder urgent duties. I privately lamented that this art, if pursued by myself, would likely fall short... [Text missing/unfinished]. Ganzhou corresponds to the Han Dynasty's Zhangye and Jiuquan Commanderies. The renowned physician Liu Zongnong possessed miraculous prescriptions and subtle techniques, which still survived. I invited his descendants, treated them with courtesy, and earnestly requested their help. They generously presented me with *Taisu Maijue* [Essential Pulse Formulas] and *Zabing Zhili* [Examples of Treating Miscellaneous Diseases]. I felt as if I had acquired the Pearl of Sui or the Jade Disc of Zhao, overjoyed beyond measure. For days, I examined and studied it, discovering that his pulse diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, as well as his treatment and medication, were profound and mysterious, yet strictly methodical. It covers emergency rescue, reviving the dying, and even predicting fortune, misfortune, nobility, and baseness. I wished to print it immediately, but lacked the resources. Fortunately, I now serve as the Magistrate of Shangyuan County in Yingtian Prefecture with my humble abilities. Thus, I donated my salary to fulfill my long-held wish and recorded the circumstances of obtaining this book. Alas, Confucian predecessors said: "Even an official of the lowest rank, if harboring a mind to cherish all things, will surely benefit humanity." Having studied Confucian classics and received imperial appointment as a shepherd of the people, how dare I not take benefiting others and aiding all things as my heart's intent? The circulation of this book allows many to benefit, much like a milestone cart having a reference. By understanding principles through formulas and treating diseases according to examples, its benefits to society are certainly not shallow.
The date is the 16th day of the seventh month of autumn in the Jihai year of the Chenghua era. Written by Xiao Qian, Chang'an native, Jinshi degree holder, and Magistrate of Shangyuan County.
