--医学之道，以洞视脏腑为贵，非扁鹊有神授也。轩岐之书皆所以教人洞视者，后人竟忽焉而莫能察，
其不至费人也几希。所幸沈承之先生编为《经脉分野》，而脏腑咸得以洞视矣！惜其书迄今将二百年未寿诸梓，
虽有传写故得其益者尚寡，兹刻之所以不容己也。
--沈君之书，已经伯鲁先生为订正矣。伯鲁以为引证繁复，故爰加删校。予得是编，窃心喜而朝夕读之。
是以知其尚未备也，因僭加补订，亦经三易稿矣。不谓戊辰冬，闻有吴君聘者，隐于西郊，予慕往就教焉。见
予手订，则曰∶“非沈君之原本乎？”乃出其姻亲顾君所增订者示予，予不胜击节先得君心之所同，然抑又幸
也！由是采以所增，广以未备，辨以讹，删以复，庶可称《全书》，洵为不易之典也。
--伯鲁删校之后，复续以《经络枢要》，因名曰∶《经络全书》，似可谓尽善矣！然脏腑、经络及筋，
有正、有别、有直、有支之类，悉加详注，不厌重复，务便读者无遗憾焉。
--脉学之晦，不徒一高阳生也，编中间有正误，以俟有识者鉴别之。
--医学之书，通儒习之者甚罕，故鲁鱼虚虎谬戾，兹为最焉。今虽不暇字音句释，其义有极难明者，则
即注于本句之下，字有不恒见者，则即音于本文之简端，庶令读者可以无语塞之忧矣。
康熙戊辰腊月，无求子尤乘生洲氏识
The Way of Medicine values the ability to perceive the internal state of the Zang-Fu organs (Viscera and Bowels) above all else; this is not because Bian Que received divine transmission. The works of Xuanyuan (Yellow Emperor) and Qibo are intended to teach people how to perceive these organs, yet later generations have neglected them and failed to comprehend, leading to widespread suffering among the people. Fortunately, Mr. Shen Chengzhi compiled the *Jingmai Fenye* (Classification of Meridian Regions), allowing people to perceive the Zang-Fu organs! It is a pity that this book has remained unprinted for nearly two hundred years to date. Although some have benefited from manuscript copies, their number is small, which makes the current publication imperative.
Mr. Shen’s work had already been revised by Mr. Bolu. Mr. Bolu considered the citations too complex and thus added deletions and corrections. Upon receiving this compilation, I rejoiced privately and studied it morning and night. I realized it was still incomplete, so I presumptuously added supplements and revisions, having gone through three drafts. Unexpectedly, in the winter of the Wuchen year, I heard of a gentleman named Wu Pin who lived in seclusion in the western suburbs. Admiring his reputation, I went to seek his instruction. Seeing my hand-corrected draft, he said, "Is this not the original text by Mr. Shen?" He then showed me the version augmented by his relative-in-law, Mr. Gu. I could not help but applaud, feeling fortunate that our insights aligned, yet even more fortunate for this collaboration. Thus, incorporating the additions, expanding the incomplete sections, correcting errors, and deleting redundancies, we may now call it the *Complete Book*, truly an immutable classic.
After Mr. Bolu’s deletion and correction, the *Jingluo Shuyao* (Essentials of Meridians and Collaterals) was appended, hence the title *Jingluo Quan Shu* (Complete Book of Meridians and Collaterals). This seems to be perfect. However, regarding the Zang-Fu organs, meridians, collaterals, and sinews, categories such as regular channels, divergent branches, direct pathways, and collateral branches are all annotated in detail. Repetition is not shunned, with the aim of ensuring readers have no regrets.
The obscurity of Pulse Diagnosis (Mai Xue) is not solely attributable to Gao Yangsheng. There are some corrections of errors within this compilation, left for those with insight to identify.
Medical texts are rarely studied by Confucian scholars, resulting in frequent textual corruptions (such as character substitutions due to visual similarity, e.g., 'Lu' for 'Yu', 'Xu' for 'Hu'). These are most prevalent here. Although there is no time to annotate every pronunciation and sentence meaning, passages with extremely difficult meanings are annotated directly below the original sentences. For rare characters, phonetic annotations are provided at the top margin of the page, hoping to prevent readers from being hindered by linguistic barriers.
