〔齐〕 大凡有疮疽生，皆只如黍粟粒许大，其状至微，人多不以为急，此蕴大患，宜
速辨之，不可自忽。若能防之于未形，理之于未成，或朝觉而夕治，求治于良医，则必
无危困矣。若因循慢忽，询于庸医，致令脓血结聚，委之于命，束手待毙，悔之何及，可
不慎欤！夫以不赀之躯，托命庸医，任意措置，危殆立至，若用良医，则可保痊愈。用
医之际，不可不择，辨之何难。若能饱续经书，久谙证候，汤药熟娴，洞明色脉，性情
仁善，孝义忠信，临事不惑，处治有诀，方为良医，委用勿疑。然后要在病患自克，不
可恚怒悲忧，叫呼忿恨，骄瓷情性，信任口腹，驰骋劳役。惟宜清静恬澹，耐烦为宜。于
患人左右，止息烦杂，切忌打触器物，诸恶音声，争辩是非，咒骂斗殴，及产妇淫男，体
气不洁，带酒腥膻，鸡犬乳儿，孳畜禽兽，并须远离。设或亲友重意问疾者，可以豫嘱，徐
行低声，款曲伺候，礼毕躬退。勿令嗟呀惊怪话旧，引其游赏宴乐，远别亲戚，牵惹情
怀，但恐病患心绪凄怆。尤不可乱举方药，徒论虚实，惑乱患人，凝滞不决， 合方便。省
问不可久坐，多言劳倦，病患深不长便。夫侍患者，宜须寿近中年，情性沉浓，勤谨耐
烦，仁慈智惠，全在调以粥药，无失时节，勿令于患人左右，弹指嗟咨，掩泪窃言，感激
病患，甚不利便。饮食之间，忌慎非细，不
可不载，畜中勿食驴马、驼骡、猪狗、牛 羊等，并杂鱼、龟鳖、虾蟹，及淹 、臭陈、
自死、病倒之类，慎勿KT 啖。飞禽之中，忌食鹅鸭、鸿鹰、雀鹤、鸳鸯、鹭鸶、鸠鸽鸦、
鸡雉，及能学人言者。野兽之中，忌食獐鹿、狐兔、虎豹、熊豺，及爪牙害人，有毒虫兽，
并父母自本命生属。菜蔬之中，忌食黄瓜、茄子、兰香、芸苔、胡妥、生菜、蓼芥、菌瓠、
韭蒜、葱薤。果木之中，忌食桃杏、枣栗、李柰、梨梅、软枣、红柿、樱桃、胡桃、榛松、
林檎，及诸虫 未熟之果。若其疮疽，脓溃肿消，气血虚弱，则可食羊肉，鹌鹑、蔓青、
姜酱、瓜荠、萝卜，及黄白粮米、细米，稀粥软饭。若至肌肉渐生，思想滋味，则宜食
白熟酥饼，齑粥羹汤，熟软温和，稀稠得中，制造如法，勿令太饱。此时犹忌馒头、蒸饼、
、馄饨、肉角、煎饼，及炙爆、燠 、煎炒、咸酸油腻，脂肥鱼肉。若至肌肤欲平，恶
肉去尽，疮口收敛之际，尚忌起立行步，揖待宾客，房酒宴会，嗔怒沐浴，登陟台榭，运
动肢体，寒暑劳倦，正宜调节，饮食保摄，以待疮瘢平复，精神如故，气力完全，方无所
忌。百日内，慎勿触犯之。
大凡疮疽初生时，都只有黄米或小米粒那样大小，症状极其轻微，人们大多不觉得紧急，但这其实是潜伏的大祸患，应当迅速辨别，不可轻视。如果能在病症未显现时加以预防，在病情未形成时加以调理，或者早上察觉晚上就治疗，寻求良医诊治，那么必定没有危险困顿。如果因循守旧、怠慢疏忽，咨询平庸的医生，导致脓血结聚，将命运委之于天，束手待毙，后悔又怎么来得及呢？这能不谨慎吗！以无价的躯体，托付给庸医，任由其随意处置，危险立刻到来；如果使用良医，则可以保全痊愈。在选择医生之际，不可不慎重选择，辨别起来有什么困难呢？如果能饱读经典书籍，长久熟悉证候，对汤药熟练精通，透彻明白望色和切脉，性情仁慈善良，具备孝义忠信的品质，遇事不迷惑，处理治疗有诀窍，这才是良医，可以放心委托而不要怀疑。
然后关键在于病患自我克制，不可愤怒悲伤忧愁，叫喊怨恨，骄纵傲慢性情，放纵口腹之欲，过度劳累服役。只宜清静恬淡，忍耐烦杂为宜。在病患身边的人，要止息烦杂之事，切忌敲打触碰器物，各种恶劣的声音，争辩是非，咒骂斗殴，以及产妇、淫乱男子、体气不洁的人，带有酒肉腥膻气味的人，养鸡狗哺乳婴儿的人，繁殖的家畜禽兽，都必须远离。如果有亲友深情探病，可以预先嘱咐，慢慢行走低声说话，周到地伺候，礼节完毕躬身退下。不要让病人听到叹息惊讶、谈论旧事，引诱他们去游览欣赏宴乐，远离亲戚，牵惹情怀，只怕病患心情凄惨悲凉。尤其不可胡乱开具方药，徒然讨论虚实，使病患困惑混乱，犹豫不决，这都不方便。探望不可久坐，多言会使人劳倦，病患深居简出不便。侍奉患者的人，应该年龄接近中年，性情沉稳浓重，勤劳谨慎耐心，仁慈智慧，全在于用粥药调治，不错失时节，不要让他在病患身边弹指叹息，掩面流泪私下言语，刺激感动病患，非常不利。饮食方面，禁忌慎戒并非小事，不可不记载：家畜中不要吃驴马、骆驼骡子、猪狗、牛羊等，以及杂鱼、龟鳖、虾蟹，还有腌制的、臭旧的、自然死亡、病死倒下的之类，千万不要食用。飞禽之中，忌食鹅鸭、鸿鹰、雀鹤、鸳鸯、鹭鸶、鸠鸽鸦、鸡雉，以及能学人说话的鸟。野兽之中，忌食獐鹿、狐兔、虎豹、熊豺，以及爪牙伤害人的、有毒的虫兽，以及与自己生肖相冲的动物。蔬菜之中，忌食黄瓜、茄子、兰香、芸苔、胡荽、生菜、蓼芥、菌类瓠瓜、韭菜大蒜、葱薤。果木之中，忌食桃杏、枣栗、李柰、梨梅、软枣、红柿、樱桃、胡桃、榛松、林檎，以及各种虫子蛀咬未成熟的果实。如果疮疽脓液溃破、肿胀消退，气血虚弱，则可以吃羊肉、鹌鹑、蔓青、姜酱、瓜荠、萝卜，以及黄白粮米、细米、稀粥软饭。如果到肌肉逐渐生长，想吃滋味食物时，则适宜吃白熟酥饼、齑粥羹汤，煮熟柔软温和，稀稠适中，制作合乎法度，不要吃得过饱。此时仍然忌食馒头、蒸饼、馄饨、肉角、煎饼，以及烤爆、炖煮、煎炒、咸酸油腻、脂肥鱼肉。如果到肌肤快要平复，恶肉去除干净，疮口收敛之际，还忌讳起身行走，作揖接待宾客，饮酒宴会，嗔怒沐浴，登高台榭，运动肢体，寒暑劳倦，正宜调节，饮食保养，等待疮疤平复，精神恢复如常，气力完全，才没有什么禁忌。百日内，千万不要触犯这些禁忌。
Generally speaking, when a sore or carbuncle first appears, it is only as large as a grain of millet, and its condition is extremely slight. Most people do not consider it urgent, but this harbors a major disaster and should be identified quickly; one must not neglect it. If one can prevent it before it takes shape, treat it before it fully develops, or detect it in the morning and treat it by evening, seeking a qualified physician (Liangyi), then there will surely be no danger or distress. However, if one procrastinates, acts negligently, consults mediocre physicians, and allows pus and blood to accumulate, leaving fate to chance and waiting for death with hands tied, how could regret be sufficient? Is this not something to be cautious about! Entrusting one's invaluable body to a mediocre physician, allowing arbitrary handling, leads to immediate peril; whereas using a qualified physician ensures recovery. When selecting a physician, one must not fail to choose carefully; distinguishing them is not difficult. A qualified physician is one who has read extensively through classic texts, is long familiar with clinical manifestations, is proficient in herbal decoctions, thoroughly understands observation of complexion and pulse diagnosis, possesses a benevolent and kind nature, upholds filial piety, righteousness, loyalty, and trustworthiness, remains unconfused in critical situations, and handles treatment with skill. Such a person should be entrusted without doubt.
Subsequently, the key lies in the patient's self-restraint. One must not harbor anger, sorrow, or worry, nor shout or resent. One must not indulge in arrogance or gratify the mouth and belly excessively, nor engage in overwork or labor. One should maintain tranquility and serenity, enduring irritations patiently. Those around the patient should eliminate noise and chaos. One must strictly avoid striking or touching objects, harsh noises, arguments over right and wrong, cursing, fighting, as well as postpartum women, promiscuous men, individuals with unclean bodily odors, those carrying alcohol or strong-smelling foods, people raising chickens or dogs while nursing infants, and breeding livestock. These must all be kept at a distance. If close relatives or friends wish to visit seriously, they should be instructed beforehand to walk slowly, speak softly, attend to the patient attentively, and withdraw respectfully after paying respects. They must not sigh, express surprise, reminisce, or invite the patient to outings, banquets, or entertainment, which might stir emotions and cause sadness. Above all, one must not arbitrarily prescribe medicines or merely discuss deficiency and excess patterns, thereby confusing the patient and causing hesitation, which is inconvenient. Visits should not be prolonged; excessive talking causes fatigue, which is unsuitable for a patient confined to bed. The attendant should be near middle-aged, possessing a calm and steady temperament, diligent, cautious, patient, benevolent, and wise. Care focuses on regulating diet with gruel and medicine, ensuring timely administration. The attendant must not snap fingers, sigh, weep secretly, or speak privately near the patient, as this may emotionally agitate them and is highly disadvantageous.
Regarding diet, taboos are numerous and cannot be omitted. Among domestic animals, do not consume donkeys, horses, camels, mules, pigs, dogs, cattle, or sheep. Also avoid miscellaneous fish, turtles, soft-shelled turtles, shrimp, crabs, pickled items, spoiled old food, naturally dead animals, and those that died from disease. Do not eat these under any circumstances. Among poultry, avoid geese, ducks, swans, hawks, sparrows, cranes, mandarin ducks, egrets, doves, pigeons, crows, chickens, pheasants, and birds capable of mimicking human speech. Among wild beasts, avoid roe deer, sika deer, foxes, rabbits, tigers, leopards, bears, jackals, animals with claws or teeth that harm humans, venomous insects and beasts, and animals corresponding to one's own zodiac sign (Benming). Among vegetables, avoid cucumbers, eggplants, basil, rapeseed, coriander, raw lettuce, smartweed, mustard greens, mushrooms, bottle gourds, garlic, scallions, and shallots. Among fruits, avoid peaches, apricots, dates, chestnuts, plums, apples, pears, plums, soft jujubes, red persimmons, cherries, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, crabapples, and any fruit bitten by insects or unripe.
However, once the abscess has ruptured, pus discharged, swelling subsided, and Qi and Blood are weak, mutton, quail, turnip greens, ginger sauce, shepherd's purse, radishes, yellow and white grains, fine rice, thin gruel, and soft rice may be consumed. When muscle tissue gradually regenerates and cravings for flavorful food arise, white cooked butter cakes, vegetable gruel, soups, and stews that are cooked, soft, warm, and of moderate consistency should be chosen. Preparation must follow proper methods, and one must not overeat. At this stage, steamed buns, steamed cakes, wontons, meat dumplings, pancakes, roasted or fried foods, spicy, sour, greasy, fatty meats, and fish are still taboo. When the skin approaches healing, foul tissue is removed, and the wound closes, one must still avoid standing and walking, greeting guests, drinking or attending banquets, bathing while angry, climbing towers or pavilions, exercising limbs, exposure to extreme cold or heat, and physical exhaustion. Regulation and dietary care are essential until the scar flattens, spirit returns to normal, and strength is fully restored, at which point no further taboos apply. Within one hundred days, strictly avoid violating these precautions.
