按上见于古今医统。
Hua Shou had never seen the *Bronze Man Acupoint and Meridian Classic* (Tongren Xue Jing). It is likely that during the transition between the Yuan and Ming dynasties, this text became obscure and rarely circulated. The re-engraving of the stone version by Emperor Yingzong might have been due to this reason.
*[Anonymous Supplemental Notes on the Bronze Man Acupoint and Meridian Classic]* (Wuming Shi Bu Zhu Tongren Xue Zhen Jiu Tu Jing), 5 volumes. Extant.
Note: The author of this book is unknown. Volume 3 contains a preface for the "Great Diagram of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Avoidances" written by the Idle Hermit of Pingxiu on the Lantern Festival day of the Bingwu year (the 16th year of Emperor Shizong's Dading reign in Jin, which corresponds to the 13th year of Emperor Xiaozong's Chunxi reign in Song). After the preface, there is a woodblock seal indicating it was printed by the Chen Family Bookshop. Research confirms that the Bingwu year refers to the 16th year of Emperor Shizong's Dading reign, i.e., the 13th year of Emperor Xiaozong's Chunxi reign. Mr. Yamazaki Masamasa of Sheyuan once obtained this block edition and intended to re-carve and publish it, asking me to write a preface. My late father stated that even if it were an old version from the Tiansheng era, it would be especially precious.
*[Numbers of the Bronze Man Acupoint and Meridian Classic]* (Tongren Xue Zhen Jiu Tu Jing Du Shu), 1 volume. Extant.
Note: This was attached to the stone version re-engraved under Emperor Yingzong of Ming, proofread and published by Xu Sanyou, serving as Volume 4. It is likely not the original Song dynasty edition.
*[Wang's (Weiyi) Mingtang Jing]*, recorded in Song catalogs as 3 volumes. Lost.

*[Xu's (Xi) Essential Secrets of the Divine Response Needle Classic]*, recorded in Song catalogs as 1 volume. Not seen.
According to his biography in the *History of Song*: Xu Xi was from Kaifeng and practiced medicine. He was appointed as a Medical Officer of the Hanlin Academy. In the first year of Jingyou, Emperor Renzong fell ill. Several attending physicians administered medicines without effect, causing public anxiety. Princess Ji Guo recommended Xu Xi. Xu Xi diagnosed and said, "Needling the area between the heart and the pericardium can lead to a rapid recovery." Attendants argued against this. Several eunuchs volunteered to be tested; no harm resulted from the test. Thus, the needle was inserted, and the Emperor recovered. He was appointed Imperial Medical Officer and bestowed with a crimson robe, paper fish, and other gifts. After bowing in gratitude, Xu Xi bowed westward again. When asked why, he replied, "Bian Que is my teacher. Today's success is not my merit but my teacher's grace; how dare I forget him?" He requested to use the gold received to build a temple for Bian Que. The Emperor built the temple in the southwest corner of the city and conferred the title "Lord of Spiritual Response." Later, the temple was expanded, and medical students flocked to it. Consequently, the Bureau of Imperial Physicians was established nearby. Xu Xi eventually reached the rank of Supervisor of Medicines in the Palace Secretariat and died. He authored the *Essential Secrets of the Divine Response Needle Classic*, which circulated widely. His son, Zongdao, was recorded as holding the post of Chongban within the Inner Court.

*[Bestowed Grand Master Liu Zhenren's Benqin Qiongyao Faming Shenshu]*, 2 volumes. Not seen.
The *Siku Quanshu* (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) abstract states: *Benqin Qiongyao Faming Shenshu* consists of two volumes. The old title attributes it to Bestowed Grand Master Liu Zhenren, without naming him. It has a preface dated the first year of Chongning, suggesting the author lived during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song. However, the preface mentions "Mr. Hua Bo Ren of Xuchang," who studied meridians specifically. (Note: The term "zhuan zhuan" is suspected to be erroneous; transcribed here as in the original.) It discusses the three Yin and three Yang meridities of the hands and feet, as well as the Ren and Du vessels. It observes the diagrams and explanations... "Bo Ren" is the courtesy name of Hua Shou. Hua Shou lived from Yuan into Ming, and the *History of Ming* includes him in the Biographies of Technicians. How could a person from the Chongning era see him? The forgery is evident. The content concerns acupuncture methods and prescriptions, likely fabricated by mediocre or arrogant individuals.
*[Qiongyao Zhenren Needle Classic]*, recorded in *Dushu Minqiu Ji* as 3 volumes. Not seen.
Qian Zeng said: The title claims it is collected by Bestowed Grand Master Liu Zhenren, but the time period is unknown. The method of boiling needles by Shennong is lost in other books but preserved here, making it valuable.
*[Qiongyao Zhenren Eight Methods Divine Needle Zizhi Chungu Quanshu]*, recorded in *Dushu Minqiu Ji* as 2 volumes. Not seen.
Qian Zeng said: Prefaced and transmitted by Huang Shizhen, the Mountain Dweller of Emei, recorded in mid-autumn of the Yiwu year of Zhizheng.
*[Zhuang's (Chuo) Gohuang Acupoint Moxibustion Method]*, recorded in Song catalogs as 1 volume (*Shulu Jieting* records 2 volumes). Extant.
Postscript: I left Xuchang amidst the chaos of war, suffering from worry and hardship, exposed to cold and heat, seeking refuge eastward. In August of the Dingwei year, I arrived at the Wei River bank and contracted malaria. Upon reaching Qin Chuan, I was misdiagnosed and mistreated by a physician, leading to the depletion of Ying and Wei (nutritive and defensive qi). By late spring of the following year, I still suffered from edema, abdominal distension, shortness of breath, inability to eat, and profuse diarrhea. My body and legs were heavy and flaccid, requiring a cane to stand. Arriving at the home of Chen Liaoweng, I underwent moxibustion specifically on the Gohuang acupoints. From Dinghai to Qisi, I accumulated 300 moxa cones. The next day, my chest felt calm, swelling decreased, diarrhea stopped, and appetite returned. By Jiawu, I could travel in a sedan chair. Later reports indicated another 100 cones were applied. Since then, symptoms gradually subsided until full health was restored. Only in recent times did I witness such efficacy. Several people undergoing moxibustion saw their chronic ailments removed. Sun Simiao said, "If one applies oneself diligently to find the correct acupoints and moxibustion them, no disease will remain unhealed." This is indeed true. Therefore, I examined differences among medical classics, consulted various schools' theories, and combined them with personal experience. Measuring cun distances and detailing nourishing methods, I divided the work into ten chapters. I illustrated body postures (flexion, extension, sitting, standing) after each chapter to facilitate understanding and prevent errors, thereby spreading the benevolent intent of finding acupoints to save lives. Recorded on February 12, the second year of Jianyan, by Zhuang Chuo, Chaofeng Lang, former Commander-in-Chief of South Dao, Assistant Manager, bestowed with a crimson fish bag.
*[Mingtang Zhen Jiu Jing]*, recorded in *Shulu Jieting* as 2 volumes. Lost.
*[Wang's (Zhizhong) Zhen Jiu Zisheng Jing]*, recorded in *Dushu Fuzhi* as 7 volumes. Extant.
Zhao Xibian said: Compiled by Wang Zhizhong. Zhizhong was from Dongjia and served as a Teaching Official in Lizhou.
Preface by Xu Zhengqing: The Bronze Man Mingtang was left by the Yellow Emperor, Qibo, and Gui Yuqu to save future generations. Since the subtle technique of penetrating skin through the gallbladder was lost, people feared acupuncture, believing it severed tendons and damaged flesh. They became afraid to seek treatment, preferring quack doctors and various medicines, unaware that diseases at the vertex require moxibustion at Fengchi and Fengfu, which cannot be treated by herbs like Cinnamon Twig Decoction (Guizhi Tang); diseases in the chest require needling/moxibustion at Hunmen, which cannot be resolved by drugs like Immature Bitter Orange (Zhishi). Thus, they were helpless, which is tragic. Recently, Zhu Gong and Pang Anchang both studied acupuncture methods. Xu Zhike also believed diseases should be cured by needling. Zou Wohu of Sanqu compiled treatment methods into songs for easy circulation. The life-saving intent of ancient sages was thus revived. Now, Wang Shuquan of Dongjia has selected 360 acupoints, categorized by location (front, back, head, extremities), matching points to diseases. He listed all rational theories from various schools and his own insights below. Acupuncture literature is now roughly complete. The life-saving intent of ancient sages is finally fulfilled. It is said that sons must study medicine. My father is eighty years old and vigorous, thanks to this book. I had Yi Weijie verify the text, noting 18 missing items. Printed in early summer of Gengchen year. Preface by Xu Zhengqing, Chengyi Lang, Supervisor of Changping, Tea, Salt, and Commerce Affairs of Eastern Huainan Road. Postscript by Zhao Lun: Upon arriving in Liyang, officials presented maps and classics. Reading them, I saw references to a Moxibustion Classic, assuming it was either Mingtang or Bronze Man. During my tenure, friends and scholars often asked me to print this book. Inquiry revealed it was compiled by former Prefectural Doctor Wang Zhizhong. The blocks were lost—perhaps taken by enthusiasts or scattered due to negligence. Given its long circulation, copies must exist. I searched secretly but found none. Recalling a copy of *Zhen Jiu Zisheng Jing* published by Xu Zhengqing, Commissioner of Grain Supplies in Huaidong, I reviewed it. Its preface praised Wang Shuquan's compilation, stating acupuncture literature was complete and the sages' intent fulfilled. This shows Wang's benevolence. Was Shuquan Wang's courtesy name? Showing it to Medical Instructor Liu, he exclaimed joyfully, "This is exactly the book Wang published! The engraving is exquisite, surpassing previous editions. Xu obtained it locally and published it." Alas, Wang's initial Liyang edition is gone. Xu's subsequent Hailing edition's survival is uncertain. If blocks are lost, their efforts vanish, which is pitiable. As deputy here, bringing this along seems destined. I ordered immediate printing to spread it, ensuring it doesn't perish, offering significant benefit to health. Written on April 15, fourth year of Shaoding, by Zhao Lun, Chaosan Lang, Deputy Prefect of Liyang Commandery.
Gao Wu said: *Zisheng Jing* was compiled by Wang Zhizhong (Shuquan) of Dongjia, selecting 360 acupoints, categorizing them by location and assigning them to diseases. It integrates the Bronze Man, *Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold*, *Mingtang*, and *Waitai Mi Yao*.
*Siku Quanshu* abstract: "*Zhen Jiu Zisheng Jing*, 7 volumes. Old title: Newly published by Ye Family Guangqin Hall, likely a Mashab edition. Author unnamed. Preceded by Xu Zhengqing's preface from Gengchen year of Jiading, attributing it to Wang Shuquan of Dongjia. Also followed by Zhao Lun's postscript from the fourth year of Shaoding, attributing it to Wang Zhizhong, Prefectural Doctor of Liyang, suspecting Shuquan was Zhizhong's courtesy name. Etymologically, this is correct. Vol 1 lists all acupoints; Vols 2-6 discuss various syndromes. Warp and weft complement each other, organized clearly and easily understood. The old edition included a memorial by Chen Cheng, Pei Zongyuan, Chen Shiwen, etc., from Emperor Huizong's Chongning era, reviewing medical texts. This does not match the preface or content. Pei Zongyuan and Chen Shiwen were involved in correcting the *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*. Likely, a bookseller inserted this memorial from another official text to the front to enhance prestige. However, Song official texts already include Wang Weide's *Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic*; how can this be confused?"
*[Ren's (Qinian) Beiji Aofa]*, 1 volume. Extant.
Inscription: Ancients said, "A son who does not read medical books is unfilial." Then, having formulas but not sharing them is unkind. Medical texts are vast, numbering in the tens of thousands. Without deep study, they are hard to navigate. Our dynasty's famous doctor, Regimental Commander Zhang Huan, wrote *Jifeng Puji Fang* and added *Beiji* (Emergency Preparedness) as one volume. These formulas use single ingredients, reliable in emergencies. Zhang's intent was truly beneficial. I have practiced medicine since youth, seeking the essence of every ancient formula and technique. Living in my hometown for nearly fifty years, I used it for livelihood and to help others. Now aged and frail, I wish to benefit people but lack resources. Among helpful yet inexpensive methods, acupuncture and moxibustion excel. Needling is hard to transmit; for emergencies, moxibustion is primary. I have compiled tested formulas into a collection for printing and wide distribution. Application is effective, reversing death and restoring life, mirroring creation. Difficult acupoints are illustrated so patients can follow instructions for relief. May this offer slight assistance. Written on January 15, Bingxu year of Baoqing, by Li Wenren Qinian, Son-in-law of Defense Commander Du Yizhen.
*[Yang's (Anonymous) Yulong Ge]*, recorded in *Dushu Minqiu Ji* as 1 volume. Not seen.
Qian Zeng said: *Yulong Ge* covers 120 acupoints. To address variations in needle insertion techniques among contemporaries, this song was composed as a treasure for health preservation.
