[Yang (Shangshan) *Huangdi Neijing Taisu*] (Recorded in the *Song Shi: Yiwenzhi*, titled *Huangdi Taisu Jing*.). Recorded as 30 volumes in the *Jiu Tangshu: Jingji Zhi* (The *Song Zhi* erroneously lists it as 3 volumes.). Extant copies are missing.
Du Guangting stated: Yang Shangshan, Grand Secretariat Advisor to the Crown Prince, was a figure during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. He authored *Daode Jin Zhu Zhenyan* (Commentary on the True Words of the Collection of the Dao and De), 20 volumes (also known as *Daodejing Guangshengyi*).
Note: During the Jiayou era, when Lin Yi and others collated the *Suwen*, complete volumes were still extant. However, it was lost for a long time afterwards. Recently, Fu Jing Rongting (courtesy name Xu), Imperial Physician at the Western Capital, obtained a fragmentary copy. It is bound in scroll format, titled *Huangdi Neijing Taisu*, 27 volumes, compiled and annotated by Yang Shangshan, Gentleman Attendant of the Crown Prince's Literary Office, by imperial decree. It consists of five chapters: Qi Xie (Seven Evils), Shi'er Xie (Twelve Evils), Xie Ke (Evil Intrusion), Xie Zhong (Evil Penetration), and Xie Chuan (Evil Transmission). [Note: The original text uses 'Ri' instead of 'Yue' (say/called), and 'Ye' which is an ancient variant or typo for 'Xie' (Evil/Pathogen)]. Under the title at the end of the volume, the characters "Xie Lun" (Discourse on Evil) appear. In the third year of Jinnan (a Japanese era name), Tanba Yorihiro copied this from the Kanemoto family collection; it is an object over 650 years old, a rare treasure in the world. In the preface to the *Suwen*, Lin Yi et al. stated: "By the Sui dynasty, Yang Shangshan compiled it into the *Taisu*." Observing its structure now, it selects texts from the *Suwen* and *Lingshu*, interweaving them to provide annotations. Later works that classified the two classics actually originated with Yang Shangshan.
[Yin (Bing ) *Neijing Leikao*] Recorded as 10 volumes in the Ming *Yiwenzhi* (*Dushu Minqiu Ji* lists 6 volumes.). Not seen.
Qian Zeng said: Bing , self-styled Weiya Jushi, believed that primary diseases have patterns, acupuncture has methods, medical treatment has formulas, and diagnosis has keys. For luck (Yunqi) theory, there is a complete book; for drug properties, there is the *Bencao*. However, he had never heard of theories regarding the origin of life. Therefore, he organized the *Neijing*, sorting items and listing diagrams, collecting the changes of the four seasons to form chapters. His efforts were truly arduous.
[Sun (Yingkui) *Neijing Leichao*] Not seen.
Xu Chunfu said: Sun Donggu, named Yingkui, was from Luoyang. He passed the jinshi examination in the XinSi year of the Zhengde era. He favored medical formulas and was dedicated to saving lives. He prescribed medicines to patients regardless of their social status. He rose to the position of Minister of Revenue. He authored *Yijia Dafa*, emphasizing the necessity of using books such as *Neijing Leichao*.
[Xiong (Zongli) *Huangdi Neijing Suwen Lingshu Yunqi Yinshi Buyi*] 1 volume, extant.
*Min Shu* states: Xiong Zongli was from Jianyang. He was proficient in Yin-Yang, medicine, and divination. He annotated *Tianyuan Xuexin Erfu*, *Jinjing Aoji*, *Nanjing*, and *Maijue*. His *Yaoxing Fu*, *Buyi*, and *Furen Liangfang* circulated widely.
Note: In the Jiawu year of the Chenghua era, Xiong printed 12 volumes of *Suwen* and 12 volumes of *Lingshu*, attaching *Yunqi Lun'ao* and *Yunqi Tuokuo*. These were the collections he compiled at that time.
[Anonymous *Neijing Leizhi*] Missing volumes in *Yicang Mulu*. Not seen.
[Zhang (Jiabing) *Leijing*] Recorded as 42 volumes in the Ming *Yiwenzhi*, extant.
Self-Preface: The *Neijing* is one of the Three Fens (ancient classics). Since the Yellow Emperor, along with six ministers such as Qibo and Guiyuzhou, discussed and elucidated profound principles to instruct future generations. Its language is lofty, ancient, profound, and subtle. It explores astronomy above, geography below, and human affairs in between. From the great changes of Yin and Yang to the small details of plants, insects, music, and numerology, and the intricacies of zang-fu organs and meridians, nothing is omitted. Great! Sublime! It left behind immortal benevolence and opened the realm of longevity for the people. Its virtue is equal to Heaven and Earth, and shines with the Sun and Moon. Is it merely about regulating disease-treating techniques?
According to the preface of Huangfu Mi's *Jiayi Jing* in the Jin Dynasty: The *Huangdi Neijing* comprises 18 volumes. The current *Zhenjing* (Pulse Classic) has 9 volumes, and the *Suwen* has 9 volumes; these constitute the *Neijing*. Yet some claim that the *Suwen*, *Zhenjing*, and *Mingtang* are not works of the Yellow Emperor but originated in the Warring States period. Could Warring States literature be like this? The Song dynasty minister Gao Baoheng et al. already refuted this. Such speculation is baseless and hardly worth deep debate. Others dismiss medicine as a trivial art and treat this book as disposable. Are they not wise men? Su Shi wrote in his postscript to the *Lengqie Jing*: "In the *Nanjing*, every sentence contains reason, and every character contains method." Did he not know that the *Nanjing* derives from the *Neijing*, capturing only one-tenth of it? If the *Nanjing* is so, how much more so the *Neijing*? Does the *Neijing* not save lives as effectively as the Thirteen Classics inspire the hearts of the people? Thus, Mr. Xuan'an (Huangfu Mi) said: "Humans inherit the bodies of their ancestors, possessing eight-foot frames, yet do not understand medicine. This is what is called a wandering soul. Even if one has loyal, filial, kind, and compassionate nature, when rulers and fathers are in danger, or infants lie in blood, one cannot save them. This is why sages think deeply and argue exhaustively to fully grasp the principles." From this perspective, how can Confucians fail to devote themselves to this book?
Alas, modern practitioners ignore the *Lingshu* and *Suwen*, remaining ignorant of the mysteries of life and destiny. They exacerbate excess conditions and weaken deficiency conditions (Sheng Sheng Xu Xu), causing premature death. They allow pathogens to invade and lose righteousness, cutting off long life. Is this what is meant by specializing in a field? The reason lies in the profound and complex nature of the text, making study difficult. Without understanding the supreme Dao, expecting to achieve divine operation is impossible even for the greatest sages since antiquity. Since the Tang Dynasty, although Wang Bing (Qixuanzi)'s annotations have illuminated many secrets, omissions remain. Some remained silent on difficulties, some misunderstood meanings, and some cross-references were hidden and inconvenient to check. Where explanations were incomplete and the *Lingshu* unannotated, regrets persist. Recent scholars merely elaborated on the text without clarifying difficulties or revealing subtleties. What benefit does this bring?
Initially, I devoted myself to this book, creating summaries for personal reference. But prolonged study revealed that every word was precious as gold and stone, every character valuable as pearls. I could not decide what to extract or discard. Thus, I resolved to uncover the hidden, clarify the obscure, turn difficulty into ease, reveal all secrets, and publish them publicly. My goal was to enable students to understand clearly, gain interest easily, progress from the hall to the inner chamber, and comprehend the origins, thereby avoiding errors for oneself and others, reaching perfection. To achieve this, I changed the old system entirely, rearranging and categorizing by type, then adding my insights to elucidate the essence. Fearing to alter the sacred text arbitrarily, I initially hesitated to disperse it. Looking back, Zhou had Bian Que's *Zhai Nan*, Jin had Mr. Xuan'an's classification, Tang had Wang Taipu's supplements, and Yuan had Hua Yingning's excerpts. Inspired by these four gentlemen, I made my decision. Unlike the Twelve Meridians which need no classification, here classification is necessary to awaken confusion and guide the迷失. I searched both classics, assessing difficulty, repeating over several autumns until grasping the thread. Then I combined them into one book, naming it *Leijing* (Classified Classic). "Lei" means using the *Lingshu* to illuminate the subtleties of the *Suwen*, and the *Suwen* to reveal the mysteries of the *Lingshu*, acting as exterior and interior to connect their meanings. After combining, I divided them into twelve categories.
The greatest matter in human life is life and death. Preserving truth aligns with Heaven. Hence, the first category is *Shengsheng Lei* (Preservation of Life Category). The way of generation is governed by Yin and Yang. With Yin and Yang established, the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, Man) take their places. Hence, the second category is *Yinyang Lei* (Yin-Yang Category). Human life depends on Zang Qi (Visceral Qi). The five internal organs are clear, and the Three Burners are regulated. Hence, the third category is *Zangxiang Lei* (Zang-Fax Image Category). To know the inside, one must observe the outside. Pulse and color reveal spirit, determining auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Hence, the fourth category is *Jingluo Lei* (Meridian and Collateral Category). All things have roots and branches; knowing priority grasps the key. Hence, the sixth category is *Biaoben Lei* (Root and Branch Category). Humans rely on food and medicine as heaven. Proper flavors and qi strengthen the five viscera. Hence, the seventh category is *Qiwei Lei* (Flavor and Qi Category). Life is fleeting like a white pony passing a crevice; who guarantees health? Correct treatment turns danger to safety. Hence, the eighth category is *Lunzhi Lei* (Discussion of Treatment Category). Diseases change unpredictably. Clear insight makes pathogens flee. Hence, the ninth category is *Jibing Lei* (Disease Category). When drugs fail, ancient needle and stone therapies exist. Nine methods explore the profound, transcending ordinary ways. Hence, the tenth category is *Zhen Ci Lei* (Acupuncture and Moxibustion Category). The Dao of Heaven is vast, operating through ages, containing infinity, understandable only through reason. Hence, the eleventh category is *Yunqi Lei* (Luck and Qi Category). Sometimes texts are continuous and hard to separate, or attached to other sections, making them hard to find. Sorting clues connects the veins. Hence, the twelfth category is *Huitong Lei* (Integration Category). Compiled into 32 volumes. Additionally, *Tuyi* (Diagram Wings) 15 volumes are attached. Because profound meanings exceed words, diagrams gather essence. Although images are clear, if meaning is not reached, commentary explains obscurities. Thus, order is distinct,纲领 raised, darkness becomes light, hidden becomes visible, large and small are integrated, and Qi-Huang knowledge is thoroughly understood. Opening the scroll reveals layers like open doors, seeing details like autumn hairs. This greatly benefits learners and those respecting life seeking wonder.
In this work, I found previous annotations incomplete and erroneous, obscuring truth for millennia. So I dared to imitate ancients, striving to carry the burden. Not daring to show off before experts, nor willing to beg on streets, I corrected errors frankly. Knowing this may seem impolite, but given long-standing habits of error, even breaking waves might not wash it clean. Without strong correction, no day of rectification would come. This is why I pondered and did not avoid it. Alas, who am I to correct sages' teachings? Knowing omissions exist, let later wise ones judge my merits and faults. As the saying goes, stones from other hills polish jade; stagnant water reflects shape; wall-light and fireflies aid scholars; bamboo scraps help strategists. If this book offers even one good idea among thousands, it may be chosen by sages. How fortunate! Writing alone took thirty years, revised multiple times. Like rivers forming seas and mountains formed by soil, I hoped to contribute to its depth. May future Yang Xiong pity my labor and correct it. Who would not consider this the teacher of juniors? Time: Tianqi Year 4, Jiazi Year.
*Zhejiang Tongzhi* states: Zhang Jiabin, courtesy name Jingyue, was from Shanyin. Accompanying his father to the capital, he met famous doctor Jin Ying and studied under him, mastering medicine. He was dignified, quiet, loved reading, and devoted himself to the *Neijing*. He authored *Leijing*, synthesizing hundreds of schools, analyzing doubts, totaling hundreds of thousands of words, completed over forty years. Ye Bingjing of Xijing called it a miraculous book in the world. He also wrote *Gu Fang Ba Zhen* and *Xin Fang Ba Zhen*, widely revered.
*Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: "*Leijing* 32 volumes, edited by Ming dynasty's Zhang Jiabin. Jiabin, style Huiqing, pseudonym Jingyue, from Shanyin. This book classifies *Suwen* and *Lingshu* together: 1. Preservation of Life, 2. Yin-Yang, 3. Zang-Fax, 4. Pulse and Color, 5. Meridians, 6. Root and Branch, 7. Flavor and Qi, 8. Treatment, 9. Disease, 10. Acupuncture, 11. Luck and Qi, 12. Integration. Total 390 entries. Plus *Tuyi* 11 vols, *Fuyi* 4 vols. Though it cuts ancient texts, it is orderly and easy to browse. Annotations are insightful. Examining Liu Yin's *Jingxiu Ji*, there is a preface to *Neijing Leibian*: Li Dongyuan (Li Mingzhi) learned from the Zhang school. Luo Qianfu from Zhen studied under him. Luo visited me saying: 'My master once said: Ancient prescriptions have sources. Classify them by meridian and syndrome to know their origin.' I complied, drafting three times, destroyed three times by my master. Revised for three years, named *Neijing Leibian*. Thus, classifying *Neijing* started with Li Guo and finished by Luo Tianyi. Luo's version is lost. Jiabin's work differs slightly by not classifying by disease, but the main idea is similar. It can supplement the lost work."
[*Leijing Tuyi*] 11 volumes, extant.

*Jiujiang Fuzhi* states: Wang Jiuda, style Yukui, was from De'an. Free-spirited and unconventional. Arrested for a crime, he fled to Wu-Yue. Loving Sanmao scenery, he settled there. Corresponded literarily with gentlemen of Yunjian, compared to Tao Jiucheng and Yang Tieya. But he studied medicine diligently, discovering heart methods. Treating strange diseases, he cured them instantly. Knowing which meridian, which element wins/overcomes, which pathogen, root/branch, life/death, and timing like tides, he was accurate. During Chongzhen, Imperial Physician Qian Xiangguo You Xi recorded his deeds in detail. Works include *Suwen Lingshu Helai* 9 volumes and *Xinchuan* 9 types, all published with prefaces by He Langzhong Wanhua, Wu Shangbao Ercheng, and Han Shidu Jing. Late in life, moved by "autumn wind" thoughts, he returned home and died. Lineage ended.

Mao Qiling's epitaph for Lin Lan, styled Guanzi, from Hangzhou: At the dynastic transition, after becoming top student, he abandoned studies, read widely, writing swiftly. Peers retreated. Seeing suffering from plague, he turned to medicine. Yellow Emperor's writings cover heaven, earth, and man. Viscera, Yin-Yang, meridians, life-death, luck cycles can be explored to enlighten wisdom. Zhang Zhongjing said: Heaven has Five Elements moving ten thousand kinds; humans receive Five Constants opening five viscera. Profound and subtle, changes unpredictable. Only those with high talent and broad knowledge can analyze depths. But seeing inside organs and washing dust, no such person exists today. Needle and stone methods are not taught. Although various *Neijing* searches are thorough, discussions are vast and hard to conclude. Even *Nanjing* and *Jiayi Jing* fail to extract core meanings. Only Yuan scholar Hua Shou's *Suwen Chao* is concise. But *Lingshu* predates *Suwen* and should be paired as exterior-interior. Although Ming's Zhang compiled *Leijing*, it is complex. Emulating Hua's 12 categories, condensing 500 texts, removing redundancy, combining *Lingshu* and *Suwen* into *Lingsu Hechao*, 15 volumes from Preservation to Luck, becoming a medical classic.
[Wang (Ang) *Suwen Lingshu Leizuan Yue Zhu*] 3 volumes, extant.
Self-Preface: Medicine having *Suwen* and *Lingshu* is like Confucians having Six Classics and Analects/Mencius. Pathogenesis varies infinitely but stays within scope. Ancient masters and modern experts inherit this to save lives,功不可尽述. But the full text is vast and Q&A format is hard to read. Even experts hesitate, let alone scholars. As a recluse wasting no days, I dared to classify and arrange. Slipping upon Bo Ren's *Suwen Chao*, whose intent matched mine, but it cut and reconnected text, mixing categories. Acupuncture differs from medicine, so I deleted it. *Suwen* quotes *Lingshu*, so *Lingshu* precedes *Suwen*, adding splendor and detail. *Suwen* discusses Five Movements and Six Qi, profound and mysterious. *Lingshu* details meridians and acupoints meticulously. Truly secret texts, known only to sages. This collection summarizes essentials, not recording much. Seekers should study the full text.

Cheng Yunpeng said: *Suwen* lists five Zang and seven Fu, but world lists only six. Some say Pericardium without Sanjiao, others Sanjiao without Pericardium. Stomach is gate of Kidney, easily mistaken as Kidney is gate of Stomach. One character error inverts Yin-Yang, affecting digestion. Discussions of True Men and Sages differ from Confucian views, requiring clarification.
[Xue (Xue) *Yijing Yuanzhi*] 6 volumes, extant.
Introduction: Yellow Emperor wrote *Neijing*, recorded in history but lost. Unknown who fabricated ruler-minister dialogues to circulate *Suwen* and *Lingshu*, likely based on old tales. Though fragmented, it is eternal. Its intent mimics wall classics, hence verbose. Yet it lacks the grace of ancient rituals. Jiazi system started with Da Nao; dry-branch sequences didn't match later times. Wine caused illness; Yu hated it, preferring plain water, leading to full meridians and empty collaterals, floating liver and horizontal gallbladder. Twelve meridians matching twelve waters implies geography existed before earth was leveled. Such gaps abound. Recently Zhang Jingyue appeared, talented and bold, combining books into *Leijing*, filtering false forms. But doubt and faith mix, failing to keep substance. I saw through it; if not sacred, why not classify? Studying through winters and summers, I overturned and rewrote. Diagnosis methods are complete. Naming it *Yijing Yuanzhi* as fundamental classic. Acupuncture has separate books, so briefly included. Annotations collect various views, favoring Zhang. If unclear, I added opinions. Responsibility for presumption is unavoidable. In this age of medical decline, if one reads and thinks deeply, it may help. Qianlong 19th Year, Ji Xu.
Tang Dalie said: Xue Shengbai, named Xue, pseudonym Yipiao. Refused imperial examinations. Wrote poetry and excelled in medicine, rivaling Ye Tianshi. Both had unique insights but competed. Xue disliked being known as a doctor, leaving no books. Died at 90.
