I heard my teacher Mr. Zu say, "My family has three editions of Treatise on Febrile Diseases 13, and each revised edition will be widely copied in the city. Now this is the twelfth draft of my family, and the others have been secretly collected or burned by other family members, which is probably the case. According to legend, Uncle He got the seventh draft. Compared with my collection, there are many mistakes and the arrangement order is different. Maybe Uncle He tampered with it himself, or the Song people deleted it. Everyone is talking about it, holding their own words. However, considering that there was no printed edition in the Jin Dynasty, it was all handwritten, and it was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that printing began, which was convenient for circulation. In this way, it seems that the folk printing is not only the manuscript of the Han Dynasty, but also the manuscript of Uncle He. " When I heard the teacher say this, I began to doubt it, but after reading the volume of typhoid fever, I found that this book recorded all the methods of sweating, vomiting and diarrhea, and discussed the syndrome differentiation of the six meridians without repetition, which was clearly organized. It suddenly dawned on me that the original folk print can be used for sweating, vomiting and diarrhea. There are countless disciples of Confucius who ask benevolence and politics. How complicated the Analects is if they are classified according to the way of compiling medical books. My teacher is called Zheng Xue. He claimed to be the 46th grandson of Zhang Zhongjing. Since the Jin Dynasty, his family has moved separately. His great-grandfather Zhang Fuchu moved back to his hometown from Lingnan to settle in Gwangju, and then slowly all ethnic groups gathered here. Although my teacher comes from a medical family, his medical skills are not well known, and he never shows this book to a third person easily. It's probably providence that I can inherit this book. I've always liked to write prescriptions. I studied acupuncture in Yongchuan with Mr. Deng's articles of association, and later I studied in Lingnan with my father. My father and teacher are colleagues, and they are in touch sooner or later. The teacher saw me holding Song Ben's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and asked me with a smile, "Do you like this, too?" I was just in my early twenties, and I replied, "I dare not say hobbies, but I haven't mastered the essentials yet and am thinking." The teacher said, "Since you are so eager to learn and understand acupuncture, you can read Treatise on Febrile Diseases. I have a copy of sixteen volumes of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which I have never shown to outsiders. If I meet you today, I'm afraid it's gone. " So I described in detail the origin of this book and all kinds of things in the teacher's family. My father urged me to say "go to see the teacher soon", and I immediately recognized Teacher Zhang. Now there is a famous man named Luo Zhechu, who has been studying acupuncture for some years and likes to study medical skills. So I passed on the book handed down by the teacher to him. I have not failed my teacher, and Luo Zhechu will certainly not fail me in the future. Therefore, I wrote this preface to explain the whole story. I hope Luo Zhechu can remember it well, and I hope you can continue to work hard.
