萧山竹林寺僧，以专治妇科名于浙东、西。余家距寺不及百里，求其方书，从未之见。道光庚戌，妹婿
张君春棠，贻佘此书，按方试用，效辄立见。问所自来，云∶得之旌德荐绅家，尚自留其一也。顾作者姓名不
传，历询医士，亦无能道之者。或谓∶书名竹林，意即寺僧之秘传，与余韪其言，藏之箧衍。咸丰辛酉，粤匪
陷吾郡，是编与他书籍，同沦劫灰，流离转徙间，无此恒觉不便。同治间重游皖水，遍求之而不得，问旌德
汪氏原刻，亦遭兵火，无片版存矣。光绪辛巳，假春棠藏板，谋付剞劂，而绌于力。爰于宾幕余间，手抄成帙，
而以原本归之。戚好知有抄帙，展转借阅，或谓神效，昭昭治闺闱之弱质，而逮襁褓之幼婴，大有济于世也。
大有济于世，可不刊而公诸世与！执此以念同志，莫不乐于成。先是陈君又笙，函示黑神丹方，称为保产圣
药。又笙精研医家书，善疗疾，名节溢于吾郡。余服膺其说，物色佳品陈墨，寄请根据法虔制，旋承分馈，投
无不验。尝救一妇于产难垂危，群医束手之际，益欢圣药之说，信而有征，足补是书之所未备，适手民工蒇

母亲在怀孕期间哺乳，导致孩子患病，例如疟疾或痢疾；日后所生的孩子，也会相继出现腹部胀大，或者病情发作或痊愈。适宜使用百劳鸟的羽毛（又名博劳鸟）佩戴在身上，或者用红纱袋装入夜明砂（即蝙蝠粪便），让孩子佩戴。
萧山竹林寺的僧人，以专门治疗妇科病而在浙江东部和西部闻名。我家距离寺庙不到百里，曾向求取他们的方书，却从未见过。道光庚戌年，我的妹婿张春棠先生，赠送给我这本书。按照书中的方子试用，疗效立刻显现。询问其来源，说是从旌德县的一位乡绅家中得来的，对方还保留着一本。但是作者的名字没有流传下来，遍访医生，也没有人能说出是谁写的。有人说：书名《竹林》，意思就是竹林寺僧人的秘密传承，我赞同这个说法，将其收藏在箱子里。咸丰辛酉年，太平军攻陷了我的家乡郡城，这部书与其他书籍一样，同归于尽，在流离失所、辗转迁徙之间，没有这本书常觉不便。同治年间，我重游皖水流域，到处寻找却找不到，询问旌德汪氏的原刻版，也遭遇了战火，没有一片木板存留了。光绪辛巳年，借来张春棠珍藏的刻板，打算刊印出版，但财力不足。于是利用公务闲暇之余，亲手抄写成册，而将原本归还给他。亲戚朋友知道有抄本，辗转借阅，有人说神效显著，清楚地治愈了闺阁中体弱的女子以及襁褓中的婴儿，对世间大有裨益。既然对世间大有裨益，怎能不刊印并公之于世呢！拿着这个想法与志同道合的人商议，大家无不乐于促成此事。在此之前，陈又笙先生来信展示黑神丹方，称之为保产圣药。又笙精研医家书籍，善于治病，名声节操遍布我们郡县。我非常信服他的理论，物色优质的陈墨，寄信请求他根据古法虔诚制作，不久承蒙他分赠，投用无不灵验。曾经在一个妇人难产垂危、众医束手无策之际救了她，更加欢喜“圣药”的说法，确实有验证，足以补充本书未曾备录的内容，恰逢工匠完工可用，便附刻在保产一卷之后，以广泛流传。周春、方涤侪、陈星甫、鲁瞻、朱芴棠、章干臣、许伯若、杨子寿、谈梦白、黄幼堂、沈舜卿、步周、葆卿、徐子英、陈佩生、杨云阶诸位先生，都是集资资助的人。颇楞青先生，则在刻板工程中，从头到尾协助办理的人。张意溟、吴君子坚两位先生，分别负责校勘工作。简要记录在末尾，以表明多年隐藏的愿望，一旦实现，依赖于朋友声援相助的，大概也很多了。
光绪辛卯年六月。山阴仑青照肖如在皖江节署写跋。
If a mother nurses while pregnant, it may cause illness in the infant, such as malaria or dysentery; children born subsequently may also sequentially develop abdominal distension, with symptoms either manifesting or remitting. It is advisable to wear feathers from the *Bailao* bird (also known as the *Bola* bird), or place *Yeming Sha* (Bat Guano) inside a red gauze pouch for the child to carry.
The monks of Zhulin Temple in Xiaoshan were renowned in eastern and western Zhejiang for their specialized treatment of gynecological diseases. My residence was less than fifty kilometers from the temple, yet despite seeking their medical texts, I had never seen them. In the Gengxu year of the Daoguang reign, my brother-in-law, Mr. Zhang Chuntang, presented me with this book. Upon trial according to its prescriptions, efficacy was immediate. When asked about its origin, he stated it was obtained from a local gentry family in Jingde County, who retained a copy. However, the author's name was not transmitted; inquiries among physicians yielded no answers. Some suggested that the title "Zhulin" implied a secret transmission from the temple monks, a view I endorsed, and thus stored it in my chest. In the Xinyou year of the Xianfeng reign, Taiping forces captured our prefecture, and this manuscript, along with other books, perished in the flames. During displacement and migration, the absence of this text was often felt as an inconvenience. During the Tongzhi era, upon revisiting the waters of Anhui, I searched extensively but found nothing; inquiries regarding the original woodblocks printed by the Wang family of Jingde revealed they too had been destroyed by war, leaving not a single block remaining. In the Xinshi year of the Guangxu reign, borrowing the printing blocks preserved by Chuntang, I planned to have them carved and published, but lacked funds. Therefore, utilizing spare time from official duties, I manually copied the volume into a booklet and returned the original to him. Relatives and friends learned of the copy and borrowed it through various channels; some attested to its miraculous efficacy, clearly curing frail women in the inner quarters and infants in swaddling clothes, offering great benefit to the world. Since it offers such great benefit, why should it not be printed and made public? Sharing this intention with like-minded individuals, all were willing to contribute. Prior to this, Mr. Chen Yousheng sent a letter presenting the formula for Heishen Dan (Black Divine Pill), calling it a sacred medicine for preserving childbirth. Yousheng studied medical classics meticulously, was skilled in treating diseases, and his reputation and integrity spread throughout our prefecture. I deeply respected his theories, sourced high-quality aged ink, and requested he prepare it strictly according to ancient methods. Soon after, he generously shared it with me; every application proved effective. Once, I saved a woman facing critical difficulty in labor when other physicians were at a loss, further validating the claim of "sacred medicine" with concrete evidence. This sufficiently supplemented content missing from this book. Coinciding with the completion of the craftsmen's work, it was appended after the section on preserving childbirth to facilitate wider dissemination. Mr. Zhou Chun, Fang Dijie, Chen Xingfu, Lu Zhan, Zhu Hutang, Zhang Ganchen, Xu Bore, Yang Zishou, Tan Mengbai, Huang Youtang, Shen Shunqing, Bu Zhou, Baoqing, Xu Ziying, Chen Peisheng, and Yang Yunjie all contributed funds. Mr. Po Lengqing assisted continuously throughout the carving process. Mr. Zhang Yiming and Mr. Wu Zijian were responsible for proofreading. These details are recorded briefly at the end to clarify that a long-held hidden wish has finally been fulfilled, relying significantly on the support of friends.
