雷君少逸，衢之名医也。余守是郡，因病邀诊，遂与之善。其人秉至性，多读书，以医世，其家著作甚富。余尝序
其《时病论》一书行之。一日，复出其戚金君冶田所藏《灸法秘传》见示。云∶得自蜀僧，施治颇验。原书谫陋不文，
经雷君取所列诸证分门而为之说，言简意赅，深得经旨，诚济世之良术也。检阅方书，其论穴治病，则从太乙神针神明
而出，实近今所罕见之本。余恐秘本无传，因付手民，以公诸书，并附刊太乙神针诸方于后，俾阅是书者参互考证而信
从焉。刊成爰缀数语于简端，以见可传者。之不能终秘，亦以嘉雷君与金君之急急于传也。是为序。

一用灸，先审其是何病症，取何穴道，再以病患中指节为一寸，量准寸分，以墨点其穴，候灸。
一灸法，用生姜一大片，原二分许，将灸盏之足钉在姜片之上，照灸盏之孔，将银针穿通姜片，平放应灸穴上。即
将艾绒捏作一团，置于盏内，再上药料，将艾点燃。少顷，则药气即可透入。如觉热甚难禁，可将银盏提起片时，仍即
放下，看盏内药将燃尽，即取起另换。每一次，换药三四回，便可收止。每日或一次，或两次弗论。
一用灸，宜天气温和，密室无风之所，焚一炉香，照法用灸。若遇人神所在，不宜灸之，切须忌避。孕妇亦不宜用。
一灸后，必须静卧片时，待其药气周流于脏腑脉络之内，自然畅快病出，切切慎风节食、保精养神，为第一着。
一灸穴，宜审轻重。上体及当骨处，灸宜少。下体及肉浓处，灸多无害。
雷少逸先生，是衢州的名医。我担任该郡的守官时，因生病邀请他诊治，于是与他交好。他天性纯良，博览群书，以医术济世，家中藏书著作非常丰富。我曾为他的《时病论》一书作序并刊行。有一天，他又拿出其亲戚金冶田所藏的《灸法秘传》给我看。书中说：此书得自四川僧人，施治效果颇为显著。原书简陋不雅，经过雷先生将所列的各种病症分门别类加以解说，语言简练而意思完备，深得经典旨意，确实是济世救人的良好技术。查阅方书，其中关于穴位治疗疾病的论述，源自太乙神针和神明（注：此处指代相关针灸理论或流派），实在是近代罕见的版本。我担心这本秘籍无法流传，因此交给刻工，将其公之于众，并在后面附刊太乙神针的各首方剂，使阅读这本书的人能够相互参照考证从而信服遵从。刊印完成后，我在书前写下几句话，以表明值得传承的内容终究不能永远保密，也是为了嘉奖雷先生和金先生急于传播此书的诚意。这就是序言。

第一条：使用灸法，首先要审察是何种病症，选取哪些穴位，然后以患者中指中节长度作为一寸的标准，量准寸分，用墨点标记穴位，等待施灸。
第二条：灸法操作，取一大片生姜，厚度约二分许，将灸盏的足钉固定在姜片上，对准灸盏的孔，将银针穿通姜片，平放在应灸的穴位上。然后将艾绒捏成一团，置于盏内，再放上药料，点燃艾绒。过了一会儿，药气即可透入体内。如果觉得热得难以忍受，可以将银盏提起片刻，随即放下，观察盏内药物即将燃尽时，就取起另换。每一次施灸，更换药物三四次，就可以停止。每天施灸一次或两次均可。
第三条：使用灸法，宜选择天气温和、密室无风的地方，焚烧一炉香，按照方法施灸。如果遇到“人神”所在的部位，不宜施灸，务必忌讳避开。孕妇也不宜使用。
第四条：灸后，必须静卧片刻，等待药气在脏腑脉络中周流运行，自然感到畅快，病邪排出，切记要避风、节制饮食、保养精气神，这是首要之事。
第五条：灸穴的选择，宜审察轻重。上体及骨骼突出处，施灸宜少；下体及肌肉丰厚处，多施灸也无害。
Mr. Lei Shaoyi was a renowned physician in Quzhou. While I served as the magistrate of this prefecture, I invited him to treat my illness, and thus we became friends. He possessed an innate goodness, read extensively, and practiced medicine to benefit the world; his family possessed a rich collection of writings. I once wrote a preface for his book *Shi Bing Lun* (Treatise on Seasonal Diseases) and had it published. One day, he showed me the *Jiu Fa Mi Chuan* (Secret Transmission of Moxibustion Methods) collected by his relative, Mr. Jin Yetian. It was said that the text was obtained from a monk in Sichuan, and its therapeutic effects were quite verified. The original manuscript was crude and unrefined. After Mr. Lei categorized the various syndromes listed and provided explanations for each, the language became concise and the meaning profound, truly capturing the essence of the classics. It is indeed an excellent technique for saving lives. Upon consulting medical texts, I found that its discussion on treating diseases via acupoints originates from Taiyi Shenzhen (Great One Divine Needle) and Shenming (Divine Enlightenment), making it a rare edition in recent times. Fearing that this secret text would not be transmitted, I entrusted it to the printers to make it public, and appended the formulas of Taiyi Shenzhen at the end, so that readers could cross-reference and verify them, thereby gaining trust. Upon completion of the printing, I added a few words at the beginning to show that what is worth transmitting cannot remain secret forever, and also to commend Mr. Lei and Mr. Jin for their eagerness to disseminate it. This is the preface.
Written by Liu Guoguang (Courtesy Name: Bichen), a Dao-level official pending appointment and Magistrate of Quzhou Prefecture from Chu-Bei, on the 15th day of the 11th month in the 9th year of Guangxu.
Rule 1: When using moxibustion, first examine the specific disease syndrome and select the appropriate acupoints. Then, use the middle segment of the patient's middle finger as a standard of one cun (Chinese inch). Measure accurately, mark the acupoint with ink, and wait for the moxibustion.
Rule 2: For the moxibustion method, take a large slice of fresh ginger, approximately two fen thick. Fix the foot of the moxa cup onto the ginger slice. Aligning with the hole of the moxa cup, pierce the ginger slice with a silver needle, and place it flat on the target acupoint. Next, mold a ball of moxa wool and place it inside the cup, then add the medicinal materials on top. Ignite the moxa. After a short while, the medicinal qi will penetrate into the body. If the heat becomes unbearable, lift the silver cup for a moment and then replace it. When the medicinal material in the cup is nearly consumed, remove it and replace it with a new one. Each session requires changing the medication three or four times before stopping. Moxibustion can be performed once or twice daily, whichever is appropriate.
Rule 3: When performing moxibustion, choose a time with mild weather and a location in a sealed room without drafts. Burn a stick of incense and follow the prescribed method. Avoid areas where "Ren Shen" (the Body God, a concept in acupuncture regarding auspicious/inauspicious points based on time) resides; strict avoidance is necessary. Pregnant women should also avoid this treatment.
Rule 4: After moxibustion, lie quietly for a period to allow the medicinal qi to circulate through the zang-fu organs and meridians. Naturally, one will feel refreshed as the pathogenic factors are expelled. It is crucial to avoid wind, regulate diet, and preserve essence and spirit; this is the primary concern.
Rule 5: When selecting acupoints for moxibustion, assess the severity and location carefully. On the upper body and bony prominences, moxibustion should be minimal. On the lower body and fleshy areas, heavier moxibustion is harmless.
