钱峻漫识
一、古今方书不下数百种,但有的有效有的无效,不能全部采纳。这里只选取其中经验最灵验的汇集为一编。
因此命名为:《丹方汇编》。
二、我自幼酷爱单方,凡有见闻必定勤奋地笔记录用;或是行医之人所珍视秘藏的,也不吝惜用重物去换取。
搜索十年约有八百余方,屡次尝试都见效。今年春天发愿公开于世,于是遍采方书,深知以往那些秘录的都是古代名医所制,所以每方下面明确记载来源,希望人们知道其出处。
三、各种病症的单方奇效者很多,但是太冗杂繁琐,恐怕反而让人一时难以选择,所以每种病症只选十分之一,以备急需。
四、诸方中有的对实证有效但不宜于虚证,有的对寒证有益但不利于热证,都不随意收录以免误人。即使有(立竿见影的)……(原文此处似有缺漏或语意未完,按文意理解为:即便有此类情况也需谨慎对待,不妄载以误人)。
五、药方若利害太甚的,不敢乱载。本编所登载的都是自己验证过的,希望不要畏惧加减剂量以致无效。
六、凡是草药人们难以识别的都不加载;凡是膏药、丸、丹治疗疾病固然神异,但必须先预备好,一时不能救急,记载也没有益处。如果有发愿施舍救济的人,至于抄录赠送毫不吝啬。
七、我不善于养生,长期患咯血,经验神方很难亲自调配制作。施济世人且本书校对谬误订正讹错,精力难以胜任。全部托付给友人徐芸兄代为斧正修改,他的苦心也与我也相同。如今我的旧病又发作,精力更加衰疲,幸亏这本书得以完成,实在多赖徐友之力居多。
八、女科症候不一,而调经保产,最为紧要;而慈幼也没有比保护婴儿更重要的了。
九、我对此特别留意,所以先付印刻,但尚未广泛流行,所以又附列在后面。
十、本编所载丹方无不神验,只要专心信服服用,自然必见功效。久病久服,病自然痊愈;千万不要急于求成……(原文“速期其”后似有缺字,意为不要急切期待其立即见效)。
十一、古今奇方不一,而一人搜罗有限,未曾见闻的大概多得写不完。同人如果有经过多次尝试历次验证的方子,希望抄录示知,日后容许补入本编。
十二、此书务必期望广泛流通,四方君子发心印施多部,福报自有归处。如果能翻刻更慰我心。
钱峻漫识
1. There are hundreds of prescription books from ancient and modern times, some effective and others not, so they cannot all be adopted. Here, only the most empirically effective ones are collected into one volume.
Therefore, it is named: *Danfang Huibian* (Compilation of Empirical Prescriptions).
2. Since childhood, I have had a keen interest in single-herb prescriptions; whenever I encountered or heard of any, I diligently recorded them in writing. Even if they were precious secrets kept by medical practitioners, I did not hesitate to purchase them with valuable items.
After ten years of searching, I accumulated over eight hundred prescriptions, which proved effective upon repeated trials. This spring, I vowed to make them public to the world. By consulting various prescription books, I came to know that these previously secret records were formulated by famous ancient physicians. Therefore, the source of each prescription is clearly stated below, so that people may know its origin.
3. There are many single-herb prescriptions with miraculous effects for various conditions, but they are too numerous and cumbersome, potentially causing confusion in selection. Therefore, for each condition, only one-tenth are selected to meet urgent needs.
4. Some prescriptions are effective for excess patterns but unsuitable for deficiency patterns, or beneficial for cold patterns but detrimental to heat patterns. These are not arbitrarily included to avoid misleading patients. Even if there are [prescriptions with immediate effects]... (The original text here appears incomplete or implies caution against indiscriminate inclusion).
5. Prescriptions with extreme toxicity or severe side effects are not recklessly recorded. All prescriptions included in this volume have been verified by myself. Please do not fear adjusting dosages, as this may lead to ineffectiveness.
6. Herbal medicines that are difficult for people to identify are not included. Although plasters, pills, and elixirs are indeed miraculous in treating diseases, they require advance preparation and cannot provide immediate relief in emergencies; thus, recording them is of little benefit. However, for those who vow to distribute them for charitable relief, I am not reluctant to allow copying and distribution.
7. I am not good at self-care and have suffered from hemoptysis (coughing up blood) for a long time, making it difficult for me to personally prepare empirical miraculous prescriptions. To disseminate them for the benefit of others and to correct errors in proofreading, my energy was insufficient. I entrusted my friend, Brother Xu Yun, to assist in editing and refining them. His dedication was identical to mine. Now, my old illness has recurred, and my energy is even more depleted. Fortunately, the completion of this book relies largely on the efforts of Friend Xu.
8. Women’s diseases present various symptoms, among which regulating menstruation and protecting pregnancy are the most critical; similarly, in caring for children, nothing is more important than infant protection.
9. I paid special attention to these areas, so they were printed first. However, since they have not yet circulated widely, they are appended hereafter.
10. The empirical prescriptions recorded in this volume are all miraculous. As long as one takes them with faith and consistency, efficacy will surely be achieved. For chronic illnesses, long-term use will naturally lead to recovery; do not expect immediate results... (The original text "speedily expect its..." is incomplete, implying not to rush expectations).
11. Miraculous prescriptions from ancient and modern times are countless, but one person’s collection is limited, and those unencountered are too numerous to list. If colleagues have prescriptions that have been tested repeatedly with consistent results, please copy and show them to me, so they may be added to this volume in the future.
12. It is earnestly hoped that this book will circulate widely. Gentlemen from all directions who vow to print and distribute multiple copies will certainly receive blessings. If reprinting is possible, it would further comfort my humble heart.
