二十卷,由元代曾世荣撰写。此书见于焦竑《国史经籍志》。我家旧藏的钞本仅有八卷,文理多有讹误错乱。我曾从朝鲜国的《医方类聚》中抄录出来,编成完整的一册。我认为这本书所载的内容,从诊视治疗的方法,到平时养育保护、哺乳嬉戏等细节,都议论得非常详尽,使得怀抱中的婴儿免如朝菌夏虫般短命夭折,其爱护幼童之心可谓深厚真挚。曾世荣又著有《活幼心书》,杨仲叔在序言中称衡邑遭遇灾难,连巨楝树下的数千户人家都化为灰烬,唯独这本书的书板被好事者投入池中而得以完好无损,认为是天意使然,确实有道理。像这样的书也应当有神物护佑,不应发出失传之叹。后来过了十多年,今年七月,叔父园启手持竹洞后人见友雪所藏的足本,借来阅读后惊喜交加,迅速抄录一通以传给家族。于是感叹曾世荣的慈念并未湮灭,并庆幸我之前的言论足以作为惩戒。记录此事始末如上。

Twenty volumes, written by Zeng Shirong of the Yuan Dynasty. This work is recorded in Jiao Hong's *Guoshi Jingji Zhi* (Bibliography of National History). The manuscript copy previously owned by my family consisted of only eight volumes, with numerous textual errors and corruptions. I once transcribed it from the Korean medical compendium *Uibang Yuchae* (Classified Collection of Medical Prescriptions) to form a complete edition. I believe that the contents of this book, ranging from diagnostic and therapeutic methods to daily nurturing, protection, breastfeeding, and play, are discussed in great detail, thereby preventing infants from suffering premature death like ephemeral insects. His dedication to protecting children was indeed profound. Zeng Shirong also authored *Huoyou Xinshu* (New Book for Living Infants). Yang Zhongshu stated in his preface that during a disaster in Hengyi, thousands of households under the giant paulownia trees were reduced to ashes, yet the printing blocks of this book, which had been thrown into a pond by enthusiasts, remained unharmed. This was considered an act of heaven's will, which was truly reasonable. Such a book ought to be protected by divine beings and should not be lamented as lost. Later, after more than ten years, in July of this year, my uncle Yuan Qi brought forth a complete version collected by Jian Youxue of the Zhudong lineage. Overjoyed upon borrowing it, I hastily transcribed a copy to pass down to my family. Thus, I felt that Zeng Shirong's benevolent intention had not perished, and I rejoiced that my previous words served as a warning. The details of this matter are recorded above.
