病症中最危险且治疗最为困难的，莫过于胎产（妊娠与分娩相关疾病）。产前进行保护，产后进行调理，这一道理如果偏差毫厘，结果就会谬以千里。我家乡山阴的钱氏以及萧山竹林寺的僧人唯独精通此道，并在世间行医，远近前来就医的人多如集市。依靠他们谋生的人，数不胜数。只是他们的方书秘而不宣，没有人能窥探其中的奥秘，大家都感到遗憾。既然现在的《达生篇》虽然好，但针对何种症状应作何种治疗，尚未详细完备。我从童年起就留心胎产之事，此前在受业恩师陈勿庵先生家中，得到珍藏的秘本，仔细加以翻阅研读。书中分为胎前、临产、产后三个门类，又附有保婴要诀。其分类详尽，论症确切，立方精妙，比《达生篇》更为尽善尽美，这是治疗生产的宝贵借鉴，救济世人的良书。然后才知道钱氏及竹林寺僧人擅长医术独步天下，他们的方书都出自于此。假如这本书家家置备一本，临时翻阅验证，引用药方则平安者得以安宁，不至于陷入危险，危险者可转为平安。这对人世大有益处，难道说是小小的补益吗？
这本书我在乾隆乙卯年游幕于楚南（湖南南部），与陈百楼先生同馆任教，岳阳郡署已经刻印出版，公之于世。随后前往粤西，又去贵州和云南，所刻印的版本拿出来给人使用，依据药方治病，无不神效。然而刻板存放在星沙（长沙），终究因为不能遍行全国，心中有所不满足。这次游览皖江（安徽长江沿岸地区），又遇到乐善好施的各位先生，因此重新刻印，以广泛流传。造福一个人的，由一个人施行；造福天下的，应当与天下人共同分享。这本书日后自近及远，辗转刻印，使得人人皆可受益，尤其是我所深切盼望的啊。
时值嘉庆十四年岁次己巳七月既望（农历十六日），古虞杏园何荣撰写。
Among diseases, the most critical and difficult to treat are those related to pregnancy and childbirth (Tai Chan). Protecting the mother before delivery and regulating her condition after delivery—if this principle is deviated by even a hair's breadth, the result will be off by a thousand miles. In my hometown, Mr. Qian from Shanyin and the monks of Zhulin Temple in Xiaoshan alone mastered this art and practiced it in the world; people came from near and far to seek medical treatment as if in a bustling market. Those relying on them for their livelihood were countless. However, their medical books were kept secret and not revealed, so no one could fathom their profundity, leaving everyone feeling regretful. Although the current *Da Sheng Pian* (Chapter on Reaching Life) is good, it does not yet detail comprehensively which treatments should be applied to which symptoms. Since childhood, I have paid attention to pregnancy and childbirth matters. Previously, at the home of my teacher, Mr. Chen Wu'an, I obtained a precious secret manuscript and studied it carefully. The book is divided into three sections: pre-natal (Tai Qian), labor (Lin Chan), and post-natal (Chan Hou), with an appendix on essential secrets for infant care. Its classification is detailed, its discussion of symptoms is accurate, and its prescription formulation is exquisite; it is more perfect than *Da Sheng Pian*. This is a precious guide for treating childbirth and a beneficial book for saving the world. Only then did I realize that the medical expertise of Mr. Qian and the monks of Zhulin Temple, which was unrivaled, originated from these very books. If every household possessed a copy of this book and consulted it during emergencies, verifying prescriptions, those who were safe would remain safe and avoid danger, while those in danger could turn to safety. This brings great benefit to humanity; how can it be considered a minor contribution?
I first encountered this book when I traveled to Chu Nan (southern Hunan) as a guest scholar in the Yimao year of the Qianlong reign, teaching alongside Mr. Chen Bailou. It had already been printed by the Yueyang Prefecture office and made public. Later, I went to Western Guangdong, and then to Guizhou and Yunnan. The printed copies distributed there proved miraculous in efficacy when used according to the prescriptions. However, since the printing blocks remained in Xingsha (Changsha), they could not circulate throughout the country, which left me unsatisfied. During this visit to Wan Jiang (the Yangtze River region in Anhui), I met several gentlemen who were benevolent and eager to do good. Therefore, I arranged for a new printing to facilitate wider dissemination. Benefits to one person are carried out by that individual; benefits to the world should be shared with all under heaven. My deepest hope is that in the future, this book will be reprinted from nearby to distant places, allowing everyone to benefit from it.
