--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，

康熙戊辰腊月，无求子尤乘生洲氏识
医学之道，以能够洞察脏腑内部情况为最高境界，这并非因为扁鹊有神灵传授。黄帝、岐伯的书籍都是教导人们如何洞察脏腑的，但后人竟然忽视这些内容而不能察觉，因此导致人们遭受痛苦的情况几乎不可避免。幸运的是，沈承之先生编纂了《经脉分野》一书，使得人们得以洞察脏腑！可惜这本书至今将近两百年未能刊刻印刷，虽然有通过传抄获得其益处的人，但数量仍然很少，这就是现在必须刊刻此书的原因。
沈君的书，已经经过伯鲁先生进行了订正。伯鲁认为书中的引证过于繁杂，因此加以删减和校对。我得到这部书稿，私下里非常高兴并早晚研读。因此知道它还不够完备，于是冒昧地加以补充和修订，这也已经是第三次修改稿件了。没想到在戊辰年冬天，听说有位吴姓名叫聘的人，隐居在西郊，我仰慕他的学问前去请教。他看到我手订的稿本，就说：“这不是沈君的原本吗？”于是拿出他的姻亲顾君所增订的内容给我看，我忍不住赞叹，庆幸先得到了与顾君相同的心意，但又感到更加幸运！于是采用顾君增补的内容，扩充未完备的部分，辨别错误，删除重复之处，这样才可以称为《全书》，确实是不变的经典。
伯鲁先生删校之后，又续编了《经络枢要》，因此命名为《经络全书》，可以说可以说是尽善尽美了！然而对于脏腑、经络以及筋脉，有正经、别络、直行、分支等类别，都详细加注，不嫌重复，务必使读者没有遗憾。
脉学的晦涩难懂，不仅仅在于高阳生一人（造成的影响），本书中间有一些纠正错误的地方，留给有见识的人鉴别。
医学方面的书籍，通晓儒学的人很少研习，所以文字上的谬误（如“鲁”与“鱼”、“虚”与“虎”形近致误）最为严重。现在虽然来不及对每个字的读音和句子的含义进行解释，但对于意义极难明白的地方，就在原句下面加注；对于不常出现的字，就在本文的页眉处注音，希望让读者没有因语言障碍而受阻的担忧。
康熙戊辰年腊月，无求子尤乘生洲氏记识
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.
