Original (Classical Chinese)

医者,稳中求快,慎中求效。

Pinyin

Yī zhě, wěn zhōng qiú kuài, shèn zhōng qiú xiào.

English Translation

In the study of medicine, when the guiding rope is lifted the meshes open. So first clarify the guiding rope of zang, fu and channels, then examine the meshes of yin-yang and exterior-interior; after that cold-heat and deficiency-excess can be discerned and formulas, medicinals and needles applied.

📝 Commentary

Lou Ying's Ming classified compendium, organized by organ and pattern. The passage states its organizing principle: raise the guiding rope and the meshes fall into order.
