《柳华医学纲目》

Liu Hua's Medical Compendium

此书由医学家柳华所著，被公认为仙舟联盟现代医学的奠基之作。柳华是方壶仙舟的持明，人生前三百年担任拱卫方壶龙尊的护珠人，此后四百余年一直是方壶龙尊身边的首席医官。

This book, written by the medical scientist Liu Hua, is widely recognized as the foundation of the Xianzhou Alliance's modern medicine. Liu Hua was a Vidyadhara from the Xianzhou Fanghu. He was a Pearlkeeper that supported the Fanghu high elder for the first three hundred years of his life, and became the head healer that closely served the Fanghu high elder for the last four hundred.

在长期的医疗实践和研究中，柳华敏锐地察觉了当时仙舟医学所存在的问题——仙舟人存古的传统在医学领域延续，使得很大一部分医疗实践都仰仗于经验而非科学。在当时的仙舟人看来，数千年间行之有效的经验，要远比纸面上的科学理论可靠。

Through his long years of clinical practice and research, Liu Hua had acutely realized the Xianzhou medical science's problem at that time. The Xianzhou's tradition of preserving the past meant significant amounts of medical practice relied on experience instead of science. For the Xianzhou natives of the time, their millennia of medical experience was far more reliable than scientific theories written on paper.

柳华因此撰写了这部《柳华医学纲目》，以期用更为科学的方法论来重新整理和阐释仙舟医学的原理。

Liu Hua therefore authored this Liu Hua's Medical Compendium in the hopes of re-organizing and better explaining the principles of Xianzhou medical science using more scientific methods of inquiry.

此书在当时并未引起注意。直到柳华蜕生后九十三年，「罗浮」上一群年轻的丹鼎司成员在寒泉洞天组成了被后世称为「寒泉派」的革新组织。「寒泉派」重新发现了《柳华医学纲目》超越世代的视野和至关重要的医学价值，将之奉为圭臬。

The book did not gain much attention at the time of its publication. It was not until ninety-three years after Liu Hua's hatching rebirth that a group of young Alchemy Commission members on the Luofu formed an innovative organization in the Cold Springs delve, later named "Cold Springs Sect" by posterity. The Cold Springs Sect re-discovered how Liu Hua's Medical Compendium had a vision before its time and offered critical value to the field of medicine, and regarded the book the standard for medicine.

此后「寒泉派」的革新理念逐渐受到联盟各界的认可，《柳华医学纲目》也终于获得了它应得的历史地位。

Later, the Cold Springs Sect's innovative thoughts were gradually acknowledged by the various groups in the Alliance, and Liu Hua's Medical Compendium also finally gained the importance it deserves.

《长生要论》

Key Tenets of Long-Life

罗浮丹鼎司作为「建木」最早的接触者，其对长生种的本质、生理结构、以及转变过程都有相较其他仙舟的医士们更深入的研究和理解。

As the earliest contact point of the Ambrosial Arbor, the healers of the Luofu's Alchemy Commission have a deeper understanding of the core principles, biology, anatomy, and the process of conversion of long-life species than healers on the other Xianzhou ships do.

《长生要论》为人所知作者是神降时代的著名医士长桑。一些医史研究者通常认为本书是在长桑遗著的基础上由后人反复增补、校正而成。其中许多长生种文明的记载，均晚于神降时代后才被发现。

Everyone knows the author of Key Tenets of Long-Life is the famous healer Changsang from the Theophany Era. Some medical historians share the belief that this book was based on Changsang's writings, and only emerged in its current form after repeated modifications and edits by those who came later. For example, many records about the civilizations of long-life species were only discovered after the Theophany Era.

《长生要论》列举了二十六支长生种的生理特性，并辅以解剖学、基因学的资料佐证。其中对仙舟人的生理研究，更是对十王司相关制度的建立有极深远的影响。

Key Tenets of Long-Life lists the physiological characteristics of twenty-six long-life species, all of which are further supported by anatomical and genetic evidence. In particular, the study of the Xianzhou natives' physiology has a profound impact on the establishment of the relevant regulations in the Ten-Lords Commission.

《丹鼎大成》

Achievements in Alchemy

此书由朱明仙舟丹鼎司编纂，是对丹鼎术丹方及其炼化要旨的一次总结，也是学宫中丹鼎术的教材之一。

This book, compiled by the Zhuming Alchemy Commission, is a comprehensive summary of alchemical prescriptions and their smelting and refinement techniques. It is also an alchemy textbook used in the academy.

丹鼎术的本质是合成与变化，在仙舟尚未启航的岁月里，它便分为「医用」和「工造」两支，是古国文明遗产中最重要的部分。在「建木」降临的时代里，医用丹鼎术更是突飞猛进，诠尽生命变化之妙。

The crux of alchemy lies in synthesis and transformation. During the period before the Xianzhou set sail, alchemy was already divided into the medical and artifex branches, and the art was considered the most important cultural inheritance retained from the Primeval Imperium. In the era of the Ambrosial Arbor, medical alchemy progressed even further by leaps and bounds, illustrating the wonders of life across all its changes.

当然，在火劫大战过去后，《丹鼎大成》中的许多丹方奇术因为「建木」毁弃，已不复再现的可能。但书中记载的不少丹方，依旧有着极强的实用性：如促发长生种自愈能力的回生丹；增强肌肉功能，解放人体爆发力的钓鳌散……均是沿用至今的军事丹方。

Following the Flaming Catastrophe War, many alchemical prescriptions in the Achievements in Alchemy were destroyed because of the Ambrosial Arbor and could never be restored. Nevertheless, a vast number of remedies recorded in the book can still be applied. For example, the revitalization pellet that enhances the self-healing capabilities of long-life species and the gallantry infusion that strengthens muscles and increases muscle power are military prescriptions still used even to this day.

《要药分剂》

Compendium of Remedies

此书由罗浮丹鼎司丹士长丹枢组织编纂。丹枢团队查阅了神降时代至今的几乎全部药典，去芜存菁、去伪存真，编纂总结出了三万九千五百条药方。其中约有三千七百二十六条，是丹枢及其团队在医学实践中发明的。

This book is compiled by Dan Shu, the chief alchemist of the Luofu Alchemy Commission. Dan Shu's team extensively researched almost all the materia medica from the Theophany Era to the present, carefully selecting and summarizing a total of 39,500 medicinal prescriptions. About 3,726 of them were invented by Dan Shu and her team through medical practice.

《要药分剂》被公认为仙舟八千载历史上药学成就的最高峰，本书根据药方所治领域共分为二十八部，其中尤以「血脉部」、「骨骸部」、「变生部」等卷册所收药方最为详尽周全；而「瓠生部」、「蜕生部」则囊括了狐人与持明的医方要术；最可敬的则是「魔阴部」，其中收录整理了近百年来最新的对魔阴身研究成果。在此书问世之后，立刻成为了丹鼎司丹士人手一册的指导手册，并被指定为学宫相关专业的权威教科书。

The Compendium of Remedies is widely recognized as the pinnacle of pharmacological achievements in Xianzhou's 8,000-year history. The book categorizes all the prescriptions into 28 sections based on the ailments they treat. Among them, the volumes of the Vasculature Section, the Orthopedic Section, and the Transfiguration Section are the most complete and detailed. The Gourd-Born Section and the Hatching-Born Section encompass the medical techniques of foxians and Vidyadhara. The Mara Section is the most impressive, as it compiles the latest research findings on the study of mara-struck conditions over the past few centuries. After this book was published, it immediately became a must-have guidebook for every alchemist of the Alchemy Commission. It's also designated as the official textbook for all related disciplines in the academy.

如今因为种种原因，丹鼎司已经无可挽回地走向了衰颓。在这样的历史背景下，《要药分剂》的诞生无异于一剂强心针，使得丹鼎司重新开始探索自己在当今社会中存在的价值和意义。

Due to various reasons, the Alchemy Commission has irrevocably gone downhill. Against the historical backdrop of the Alchemy Commission, the birth of the Compendium of Remedies is undoubtedly a boost of confidence that encourages the Alchemy Commission to start exploring the value and meaning of its existence in modern society again.

《夷学集成》

The Comprehensive Handbook of Exotic Knowledge

虽然「夷学」这个词从字面意思来看，是指「化外民的学问」，但在丹鼎司的全盛时期，医药学的发展几乎成为了联盟的立身之本。因此《夷学集成》中的「夷学」是特指「化外民的医药学」。此书也是联盟历史上第一册系统性阐述域外文明医药学的著作。

On a literal level, "Exotic Knowledge" could be construed to mean "knowledge from outworlders." However, at the height of the Alchemy Commission, the Alliance was almost completely dependent on the progress of medical science. Therefore, the "Exotic Knowledge" in The Comprehensive Handbook of Exotic Knowledge specifically refers to "medical science from outworlders." This book is also the first work in the history of the Alliance that systematically presented the medical science of foreign civilizations.

在仙舟文明的对外接触史中，《夷学集成》占据了很重要的地位。甚至可以说，它深远地影响了仙舟文明的发展方向，使得联盟成为了如今的样子。

The Comprehensive Handbook of Exotic Knowledge occupies an important place in the history of the Xianzhou civilization's contact with the outside world. It could even be said that the book had profoundly influenced the direction of the Xianzhou civilization's development, shaping the Alliance into what it is today.

此书具体作者已不可考，据推测应是「玉阙」和「曜青」两艘仙舟的丹鼎司成员集体创作。据《玉阙志略》，此书的编纂工作是「玉阙」时任司鼎蝶羽主导的「夷学再发现运动」的一部分，一般认为蝶羽本人也直接领导了《夷学集成》的编纂工作。

The author of this book is unknown. It is thought to be a collective work from the Alchemy Commission staff of the Xianzhou Yuque and Yaoqing. According to The Chronicles of the Yuque, the editing of this book was a part of the "Exotic Knowledge Revival Movement" spearheaded by Dieyu, the Cauldron Master of Yuque's Alchemy Commission at the time. It is commonly thought that Dieyu also directly led the editing of The Comprehensive Handbook of Exotic Knowledge.

《夷学集成》在出版时，按文明体系分为三卷，每卷四册。第一为《公司卷》，第二卷为《学会卷》，第三卷为《孽物卷》。其中第三卷的出版受到了很大阻力，即使蝶羽力排众议，第三卷还是在前两卷付梓出版的七十年后才得以面世。

When published, The Comprehensive Handbook of Exotic Knowledge was split into three volumes according to civilization clusters, with four chapters in each volume. The first volume was "The IPC Volume," the second was "The Guild Volume," and the third was "The Abomination Volume." The third volume encountered significant push back toward publication. Even though Dieyu overcame public scrutiny, the third volume was only made available seventy years after the first two had been published.

事实证明，《孽物卷》对仙舟医学的发展起到了相当积极的作用。因为无论公司还是学会，都是短生种主导的文明，其域内百姓的生理结构与长生种截然不同。尽管联盟可以学习他们的科研思路和医药技术，但收效毕竟有限。

Time proved that "The Abomination Volume" provided a very positive contribution to the development of Xianzhou's medical sciences. After all, both the IPC and the Guild are civilizations dominated by short-life species, and the residents within their domains have drastically different anatomies and physiology to long-life species. Though the Alliance could learn from their scientific thought processes and medical technologies, there was only so much to gain from them.

而《孽物卷》所研究的对象，是同为长生种的丰饶民。造翼者和步离人向来拥有自己独特的医疗体系，但在此前近千年的时间中，仙舟人惯常蔑视这些孽物的技术实力。如今我们知道，对敌人的傲慢和不屑总会招致危险的后果。但对当时的仙舟人而言，编纂《孽物卷》这样一部虚心向敌人学习的著作，实在称得上大逆不道。

Meanwhile, the topic of investigation for "The Abomination Volume" are the Denizens of Abundance, long-life species just like the Xianzhou residents. Wingweavers and borisin have always had their own unique medical science systems, but the Xianzhou natives habitually looked down upon these abominations' technical achievements in the millennia prior. Now, we are well aware of the kind of danger that lurks in our arrogance and spite toward enemies. However, for the Xianzhou natives of the time, publishing a work such as "The Abomination Volume" that humbly learned from our enemies was practically tantamount to treason.

幸而蝶羽顶住了压力，才使得整个联盟得以摆脱傲慢和不屑的桎梏，收获了更多有益的知识。

Thankfully, Dieyu was able to withstand pressure and could rid the entire Alliance of the shackles of arrogance and spite, thus obtaining more useful knowledge.

《仙舟大百科•医学篇》

Grand Encyclopedia of Xianzhou — Chapter on Medical Sciences

此书出自星际和平公司的仙舟学家、博物学家以及文学家和泉多摩川•宾特•阿玛图拉。

This book was authored by Izumitamagawa bint Amatullah from the IPC, who was an expert on the study of Xianzhou, a natural scientist, and a writer.

7032年，二十三岁的和泉多摩川作为贸易专员来到仙舟「朱明」，并在此客居一生。她发现当时银河中对于仙舟联盟的认知，大都依托于捕风捉影的故事和来路不明的传言，于是立志于写出一部向域外完整介绍仙舟文明的巨著。四十年后，《仙舟大百科》诞生了。

In the year 7032, 23-year-old Izumitamagawa arrived at the Xianzhou Zhuming as a trade specialist, and resided there as a visitor for the rest of her life. She realized that the cosmos' knowledge of the Xianzhou Alliance at the time was mostly based on incomplete stories or unfounded rumors. Therefore, she resolved to author an epic work that would comprehensively present the Xianzhou civilization to foreigners. That was how, forty years later, the Grand Encyclopedia of Xianzhou was born.

在这部巨著中，《医学篇》占比极大，几乎用了此书三分之一的篇幅。在《医学篇》中，和泉多摩川以星际和平公司医疗系统的体例，将当时整个仙舟联盟可以查阅到的医学、药学典籍分门别类，溯源历史、阐释原理。

The Chapter on Medical Sciences features prominently in this epic work, taking up almost one-third of the pages. In the Chapter on Medical Sciences, Izumitamagawa used the IPC's medical system to classify all the medical and pharmacological works that could be found in the entire Xianzhou Alliance, as well as recounting their histories and explaining their principles.

诚然，比起专业的医药学著作《医学篇》的内容比较浅薄。但它的确起到了和泉多摩川原本期望的功能——让每个异邦人都有机会理解「仙舟医学」是什么。

While the Chapter on Medical Sciences is only an amateur piece of work when compared against professional pharmacopoeias and medical textbooks, this publication still managed to achieve Izumitamagawa's original goal of letting every traveler understand Xianzhou's medical sciences.

《药师五脏经》

Yaoshi's Manual of Viscerals

神降时代结束后，有无数寿瘟祸祖的隐秘信徒著书立说，以论证其谬论的正确性。除却那些狂人呓语似的神正论，也有一些人试图建立起一套以药师信仰为根基的医学体系。

After the end of the Theophany Era, countless secret believers of the Plagues Author wrote books and established schools to argue for the correctness of its heresies. Apart from certain mad followers of theodicy, there were also some who tried to establish a medical system rooted in the worship of Yaoshi.

在这些著作中，流传最广、影响最大的莫过于《药师五脏经》。《药师五脏经》的负面影响在于，它第一次系统性地建立了「药师医学」的体系，并将之与对寿瘟祸祖的信仰紧密结合。这也使得它成为了「药王秘传」的起点。

The most wide-spread and influential among these books is Yaoshi's Manual of Viscerals. This book is the first to systematically establish the "Yaoshi medical sciences" while tightly connecting this science to the worship of the Plagues Author. With this negative impact, the book became the beginning of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.

此书原有七十五卷，分为医理部、药理部、神异部、考工部，现时大部分已逸散。如今刊行的版本，是由版本目录学家辑录残篇重新编纂出的四卷本。

This book originally had seventy-five volumes split into medical sciences, pharmacology, magic, and artisanship. Now, most of these volumes have been lost. The version currently available is a four-volume version re-edited from the remnants of the book by archivists.

这些残篇主要摘录自同时代驳斥药王信仰的书籍、手稿与私人通讯记录，其中或许有部分歪曲与失真。

These residual chapters were mainly taken from books, manuscripts, and private correspondences of the time that rebuked the religion of Sanctus Medicus, and some of them could be inaccurate or plain untrue.

《冥土还魂论》

Theories on Returning From the Underworld

著名的邪见医典，其作者极有可能是联盟成立后依旧潜伏于仙舟信奉「丰饶」的丹士或医士。

An infamous heretical medical text. Its author is very likely an alchemist or healer who continued to worship the Abundance in secret after the establishment of the Xianzhou Alliance.

《冥土还魂论》记载有十六种将短生种自寿尽状态中「复活」的奇术：如「窠魂术」，将死者的肉体献祭给永生的夺魂蜂寄生，成为蜂巢，并借其群体思维复活。又如「血蜕咒法」，则是移植半人半蛇的虺裔鳞片血肉，感染蜕生蛇血热，转化为长生种。

Theories on Returning From the Underworld records sixteen different outrageous ways to "resurrect" short-life species after their lifespans have expired. For example, the Hive-Soul Technique sacrifices the body of the deceased to the immortal soul snatch bees, letting them parasitize the body and turn it into a hive, then using the species' hivemind consciousness to achieve rebirth. Alternatively, the Blood Hatching Curse transplants the scales and flesh of the half-human half-snake Cobrakinds into the person to deliberately infect them with the blood fever of the hatching snakes, thus transforming them into long-life species.

无一例外，这些禁术均需要高超的外科手术、基因疗法等方式完成，其中部分内容与公司与博识学会密切相关，是故医史研究者均猜测本书是在外力协助下著成。

All these forbidden arts, without exception, require exceptional mastery in methods such as surgical operations and gene therapy. Some of these are closely linked to the IPC and the Intelligentsia Guild, leading the majority of medical historians to conjecture that this book was completed with foreign help.

《黄气阳精经》

Scripture of Yellow Pneuma Yang Essence

药王秘传的分支「内秘派」丹士所著的经文，作者佚名。

Scripture composed by anonymous alchemists in the branch of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus known as the Inner Secrets Sect.

现存此书均为誊录本，其前言记载了本书重现的过程：罗浮丹鼎司「观颐台」在星历6610年前后清点史料典籍，并意外从书库中发现了本书。当时丹鼎司就此书是否应当被销毁发生了激烈争论，最终司鼎白泽大人选择了折衷方案：销毁原件，但将该书内容誊录、封存。只有司鼎、医士长、丹士长、医助长及以上等级的官员可将其作为史料查询。

All extant copies of this book are replicas of the original. Its foreword records the process through which this book re-emerged into the light of day. In approximately Year 6610 of the Star Calendar, the Luofu Alchemy Commission's Elixir Research Terrace was conducting an inventory of its books when they discovered this book in their collection by pure accident. The Alchemy Commission at the time sank into intense debate regarding whether this book should be destroyed. In the end, Baize, the Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission, opted for middle ground: The original copy would be destroyed, but the content will be reproduced and sealed away. Only the Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission, the chief healer, the chief alchemist, the lead medical assistant, and any officials ranked higher than these positions may consult this book as a historical reference.

药王秘传内秘派信徒深信一个观点：仙舟人自获得「建木」恩赐转化为长生种后，体内拥有形肖「建木」枝叶形态的经脉回路。这些经脉通向名为「丹腑」的器官：它是仙舟人获得第二次进化（或曰「飞升」）的关键。

The believers of the Inner Secrets Sect in the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are convinced that the Xianzhou natives' bodies possess circulatory vessels in the branching form of the Ambrosial Arbor after receiving the blessings of the Arbor and becoming long-life species. These circuits lead toward an organ known as the Core Esse, which is key to the Xianzhou natives' second evolution (alternatively known as the ascension).

《黄气阳精经》在《药师五脏经》的理论基础上系统阐述了仙舟人的经脉结构，并提出了以身躯为土壤，以吐纳为风雨，培育丹腑（种子），令经脉（枝叶）舒展，最终在体内成就「内在的建木」，令其茁壮蕃生，此之所谓内秘。而书名所提到的「黄气」，则是内秘派理论中推动生命活动的精微之力——与代表死亡、衰败倾向的「玄气」相对。作者相信，生命的意义便在于维持黄气的存续，令生命进化。

Based on the theoretical foundations of Yaoshi's Manual of Viscerals, the Scripture of Yellow Pneuma Yang Essence systematically explained the circulatory structure of the Xianzhou natives. It also proposed that the body should be considered as soil, the breath considered rain, and combined they nurture the Core Esse (a seed) to spread the circulatory system (as branches), finally achieving an "inner Ambrosial Arbor" that thrives and grows as an "inner secret." The Yellow Pneuma mentioned in the book's title is an essence that drives the vitals in the theories of the Inner Secrets Sect, and opposes the Black Prana that symbolizes death and decay. The author believes that the purpose of life is to maintain the presence of Yellow Pneuma and let life continue to evolve.

内秘派的观点早已被确认为迷信。但值得一提的是，其部分医理仍经过去芜存精后被摘入一些医书中流传后世。

The views of the Inner Secrets Sect have long been considered superstition. However, it is important to mention that some excerpts of its medical theories have been included in later scientific texts.

《倏忽垂迹妙法秘传灵书经》

Divine Scripture of the Secrets and Miracles of Shuhu's Manifestations

药王秘传留下的经文之一，其作者为狐人月偃，此人曾任曜青仙舟天舶司的司舵，是见识广博的飞行士，同时也是令药王秘传开枝散叶的第一位魁首。

One of the scriptures left by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. Its author is Yueyan, the foxian Helm Master of the Xianzhou Yaoqing's Sky-Faring Commission. He was a knowledgeable pilot, and also helped the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus to thrive as its first master primus.

按照《十王司刑狱录》的记载，月偃目睹第一次丰饶民战争后，烬灭祸祖的军团消灭了造翼者的故土「穹桑」，仙舟出于「诛除孽物」的信条旁观目睹了全过程。巨大的死亡和毁灭令月偃的信念动摇，他宣称要重新思考长生种的使命与意义。

According to records in the Ten-Lords Commission's Book of Imprisonment, Yueyan witnessed how the Ruin Author's Legion destroyed Muldrasil, the home world of the wingweavers, after the first Denizens of Abundance Wars. Due to Xianzhou's creed of eradicating abominations, the Alliance stood by and observed the entire process. The overwhelming death and destruction shook Yueyan's belief to the core, and he proclaimed that he must re-think about the long-life species' duty and purpose in life.

最终月偃辞去官职，驾驶星槎巡游星海，寻找答案。他在古老的星球罗睺上找到了寿瘟祸祖的令使——被称为「倏忽」的生命体。月偃目睹了倏忽将生机赋予死灭已久的罗睺，令其如母腹中的稚子般胎动不已。他追随倏忽，录下治愈的神迹与种种教诲，最终著成此经。

In the end, Yueyan left his position and drove a starskiff to roam the stellar seas in search of an answer. On the ancient planet of Rahu, he found an Emanator of the Plagues Author — a living entity called Shuhu. Yueyan witnessed how Shuhu granted life back to Rahu, which had long ago become a dead planet, and caused the planet to throb like an embryo in the mother's womb. He followed Shuhu and recorded their healing miracles and various teachings, ultimately composing this scripture.
