金匮玉函经二注
1.葉序
綜為難也。不思仲景氏祖經方而集其大成。傷寒論中一百十三方。皆自雜病方中檢入。故無不可以治雜病。其專治雜病之方。則惟金匱要略一書。神而明之。足以推闡無餘。顧傷寒論。自成無己、韓和、龐安時以來。註釋論辨。代不乏人。厥後吾吳周君禹載。匯為三注。學人益有所鑽仰尚已。金匱有國朝徐彬論注。雖雲明顯。要未若宋趙以德之明且詳也。乃周禹載又為之補其未備。暢其欲言。名曰補註。合衍義而成書。為金匱玉函經二注。嘉惠後學可謂仲聖之功臣。惜其書風行未廣。原版旋毀於火。致使學人不能家置一編。良足慨矣。今春餘友春泉。見餘案頭葉氏醫案存真。及馬元儀方案。慫恿付梓。因論及此。為嘆息者久之。訪購抄本。苦多魯魚之訛。復為遍求初印原本。相與昕夕校讎。醵資重刊。公諸當世。醫林不朽之業也。功豈在周氏下哉。既已藥觀厥成。而積思頓釋。故志其簡端如此。\x道光十二年壬辰仲冬既望長洲葉萬青。\x
It is difficult to gather them together. One does not reflect that Zhang Zhongjing took the classical formulas as his ancestral source and brought them to great completion. The one hundred and thirteen formulas in Shanghan Lun were all selected from the formulas for miscellaneous diseases; hence there is none that cannot treat miscellaneous diseases. As for the formulas devoted specifically to miscellaneous diseases, there is only the single book Jin Gui Yao Lue. Comprehending it with spiritual insight is sufficient to extend and elucidate it without remainder. As for Shanghan Lun, from Cheng Wuji, Han He, and Pang Anshi onward, there has been no lack of commentators and discussants in each generation. Thereafter our Wu native Zhou Yuzai compiled them into the San Zhu, and students have increasingly had something to delve into and look up to. The Jin Gui has the Chaozhou Xu Bin's Lun Zhu; although said to be clear, it is on the whole not as clear and detailed as the Song [edition] of Zhao Yide. Then Zhou Yuzai again supplied what was not complete and expanded what was wished to be said, naming it Bu Zhu; combining it with the Yan Yi it became a book, the Jin Gui Yu Han Jing Er Zhu. Benefiting later students, he may be called a meritorious minister to the sage Zhongjing. Unfortunately, the book did not circulate widely, and the original blocks were soon destroyed by fire, so that students could not keep a copy in every home—truly a matter for regret. This spring my friend Chunquan saw on my desk the Cun Zhen of Ye's medical cases and Ma Yuanyi's formulas, and urged me to have them printed. Because of this the matter was discussed, and we sighed over it for a long time. I sought and purchased a manuscript copy, but suffered from the many errors of transcription; again I sought everywhere for the original first printing, and together we collated it morning and evening, pooled funds to reprint it, and made it public to the world. This is an imperishable work for the medical forest; how could its merit be below that of Master Zhou? Now that I have seen the work completed, my accumulated thoughts are at once released; therefore I record this at the head of the volume. Written by Ye Wanqing of Changzhou on the day after the middle of the eleventh month of the renchen year, the twelfth year of Daoguang [1832].
