方不在多，心契则灵。
Pinyin
Fāng bù zài duō, xīn qì zé líng.
English Translation
The way of medicine cannot be grasped without precision, nor reduced to essentials without breadth. Reading Zhongjing's books, one should seek the intention behind his formulas rather than rigidly apply those formulas to today's diseases.
📝 Commentary
Wang Haogu's Yuan work transmitting the teachings of Li Gao and Zhang Yuansu. It urges both precision and breadth, and grasping the principle behind classical formulas rather than applying them rigidly.
