English Translation
The practice of external medicine is a matter of great weight: life and death hang upon the physician's blade and measure. Without broad study of the classics and deep inquiry into the origins of the channels, zang and fu, relying only on salves and plasters will seldom avoid doing harm.
📝 Commentary
Compiled by Gu Shicheng in the Qing, this is a comprehensive summa of Chinese external medicine. The passage stresses that surgery concerns life and death and demands deep knowledge of the channels and organs, not mere external applications.
