A brief collection of my attempted English renditions of selected Chinese poems, both contemporary and classical. (Each original classical Chinese poem may be presented in both the traditional and simplified forms, followed by the English translation.) Comments and suggested amendments welcome. (But I may not have the time to respond to every comment.) I am a follower of Andrew W F Wong's excellent blog "Classical Chinese Poems in English".

《黃帝內經‧素問》「治未病,弘養生。」Nip all latent "Illness buds" well before they germinate
「治未病,弘養生。」

Nip all latent "Illness buds" well before they germinate;
Exercise, and a healthy lifestyle always cultivate.
An 'Abridged' Quote from Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng‧Sù Wèn:
"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine"
-- as written on a plaque at the Kwong Wah Hospital
Chinese Medicine Out-Patient Department in Hong Kong.
《黃帝內經‧素問〈四氣調神大論〉》曰:
... “ 陰陽四時者,萬物之終始也、死生之本也,逆之則災害生、從之則苛疾不起,是謂得道。道者、聖人行之,愚者佩之。從陰陽則生、逆之則死,從之則治、逆之則亂,反順為逆,是為內格。 是故、聖人不治己病、治未病,不治己亂、治未亂,此之謂也。夫病已成而後藥之,亂己成而後治之,譬猶渴而穿井、鬪而鑄兵,不亦晚乎!”
又曰:“ 其知道者,法於陰陽合於術數,食飲有節、起居有常、不妄作勞,故能形與神俱而盡終其天年,度百歲乃去。”
... 四季養生 “ 春夏養陽、秋冬養陰。”
「上工治未病,中工治已病」
《難經‧第七十七難》:
「所謂治未病者,見肝之病,則知肝當傳之與脾,故先實其脾氣,無令得受肝之邪,
故曰治未病焉。中工者,見肝之病,不曉相傳,但一心治肝,故曰治已病也。」
《金匱‧臟腑經絡先後病脈證第一》:
「夫治未病者,見肝之病,知肝傳脾,當先實脾,四季脾王不受邪,即勿補之;
中工不曉相傳,見肝之病,不解實脾,惟治肝也。」
《史記‧扁鵲倉公傳》:
"扁鵲 過齊,齊桓侯客之。入朝見,曰:「君有疾在腠理,不治將深。」桓侯曰:「寡人無疾。」扁鵲出,桓侯謂左右曰:「醫之好利也,欲以不疾者為功。」後五日,扁鵲復見,曰:「君有疾在血脈,不治恐深。」桓侯曰:「寡人無疾。」扁鵲出,桓侯不悅。後五日,扁鵲復見,曰:「君有疾在腸胃閑,不治將深。」桓侯不應。扁鵲出,桓侯不悅。後五日,扁鵲復見,望見桓侯而退走。……使人問其故。扁鵲曰:「疾之居腠理也,湯熨之所及也;在血脈,針石之所及也;其在腸胃,酒醪之所及也;其在骨髓,雖司命無柰之何。今在骨髓,臣是以無請也。」後五日,桓侯體病,使人召扁鵲,扁鵲已逃去。桓侯遂死。"
