Introduction by the author
医学一途，不难于用药，而难于识症。亦不难于识症，而难于识阴阳。阴阳化生五行，其中消长盈虚，发为疾病，万变万化，岂易窥测？诊候之际，犹多似是而非之处，辨察不明，鲜有不误人者也。
In the Traditional Chinese medicine area,
it is not hard to know how to use herbs for treatment, but hard
to recognize the conditions for the use of the herbs (e.g. it is
hard to diagnose). Again, it might not be hard to make a
diagnosis, but hard to identify the Yin or Yang condition in the
body. The Yin and Yang together develop into the Five elements.
The Yin and Yang, the Five-elements are constantly under
increase or decrease, consumption or supplication. Their changes
can be largely variable. Any mistake or error during this course
would cause a disease condition. How it could be easy to find
reason(s) for a disease and how it could be easy to find the
location/step the disease is? In Clinic, there are many
situations in which the diagnosis is not clear, and it is hard
to make a clear diagnosis. There could be evidence(s) suggesting
this disease condition, but could be other evidence(s)
suggesting some other disease condition. This is a quiet common
experience for a doctor, no matter he is a Chinese medicine
doctor or a western medicine doctor. If the diagnosis is not
clear, how could we avoid the delay of the treatment and avoid
not cause the death of a patient?
余蜀南临邛人也，迁居于成都省城，学医于止唐刘太老夫子，指示《黄帝内经》、《周易》太极、仲景立方立法之旨。
I am born in the
Sichuan
province of
China.
Later I moved to the Chengdou city in that province. I learned
from my teacher Mr. Liu Zhitang, who helped me in the
understanding of
《Huang Di Nei Jing》、《Zhou
Yi》, Taiyi, and the
principle for Dr. Zhang Zhongjing[1]
to set up his herbal formula.
余沉潜于斯二十馀载，始知人身阴阳合一之道，仲景立方垂法之美。所览医书七十馀种，每多各逞己见，亦未尝不讲仲景之法，然或言病而不道其病之所以然，或言方而不探其用方之所以妙，参差间出，使人入于其中而茫然。近阅闽省陈修园医书一十三种，酌古准今，论深注浅，颇得仲景之微，亦且明透。其中分阴分阳之实据，用药活泼之机关，间有略而未详者。
I spend more than 20 years in the study of
the Chinese medicine, then I started to understand that the Yin
and Yang in the human body is actually the same thing. I have to
admire the beauty of the herbal principle by Master Zhang
Zhongjing. I read more than 70 kinds of medical books. The
authors introduced and explained their own idea. There are some
who also discuss the principle of Master Zhang Zhongjing, but
they mentioned the treatment of the disease but not the reason
for the diseases, or they mentioned the herbal formula but not
the beauty, the smart of the herb formula by the Master. The
variations in their discussion make us followers confused very
much. Recently, I read 13 books by Dr. Chen Xiuyuan. He
explained the medicine principle, shallow or deep, appearing to
understand the Master a lot. Among his idea about identifying
the Yin and Yang and the key to use a herb or a herb formula,
however there are some degree of too simple.
余不揣鄙陋，以管窥之见，谨将乾坤化育，人身性命立极，与夫气机盈缩，内因、外因，阳虚、阴虚病情实据，用方用法，活泼圆通之妙，详言数十条，以明仲景立法垂方之苦心，亦足以补修园先生之未逮。
Here, I will try to explain furthermore the
real meaning and mechanism for the Universe evolution, the
nature of human life, the mechanism of the body biology,
pathology, the inside and outside reasons for a disease, the way
to tell a Yin deficiency or a Yang deficiency, the way to use
the herbs, with the aim to make it more clear the Master’s aim,
and to explain, in more detail, the medicine truth that the Dr.
Chen Xiuyuan failed in his books. I did so, though I know I do
not know everything yet.
因志在活人，遂不知其言之妄也，高明谅之。
My aim is to save life for people. If
someone thinks that I am too brave, please forgive me.
