一诸书于素问、难经多异少同。今取其同。议其异。故以聚英名。
一此书以经络 穴类聚为一卷。各病取穴治法为二卷。诸论针艾法为三卷。各歌赋为四
卷。间或发挥一二。
一周身尺寸已详于前集素难节要。今止绘图各分写于上。以便准量取穴。
一经络俱属于五脏六腑。今绘其图于经络之前者。知外有是经。则内属是脏腑也。
一明堂针灸、铜人、千金翼诸书。拘头面腹手足分列 穴。殊无经络起止次序。今以滑
氏十四经发挥、金兰循经经络绘图。每经自始至终。某穴主某病。以便考究。
一资生经立诸病目。以各 穴分属。似难于阅。今以各经 穴为主。以主某病分属之。
仿神农本草例。以穴名在前。药性随于后。
一各经 穴。或有原缺者仍旧。
一标幽、玉龙、肘后诸歌赋。今医家皆谓其易于记诵。然专事于此。则针灸亦狭矣。姑
集于末卷。以备参阅。
一奇经八脉、十二络脉、八会脉、原募穴。虽备于本经络。复表章于后。以便分别。
一前人着取穴捷法治病。而不明言穴名者。今考明之。
一取穴法有未明者。窃议一二。
一针灸书惟明堂、铜人、千金、济生拔萃、窦氏流注、子午尽好。其余愈出愈下。不合
素问、难经者多。各附以发挥。
一东垣针法。深得素问之旨。人多忽之。各书亦不能载。今于脾胃论中表章于此。
一素、难井荥俞经合主病。人多不明五行生克。故不能行。今以诸经是动所生病补泻生
克。细为制定。以便针刺。
一各书有关于论针灸。备录于卷末。
一济生拔萃于十二经井荥俞经合穴。萃集各书主治病证。其余 穴。则未之及。故今仿
其例。亦据铜人、千金、明堂、外台而补辑之。
一经络悉根据十四经发挥流注交接次第。 穴亦根据之。比之铜人等书有繁杂空穴。皆不增
入。一各空穴下分寸。针浅深。艾壮多少。俱备录。以便四时取用。明堂经则曰明堂。资生经则
曰资生。千金翼则曰千金。明堂下经则曰明下。或曰下经。外台秘要则曰外台。俱省文尔。
一世俗喜歌赋。以其便于记诵也。今类聚各书歌赋。置之末卷。
一、各类医书对于《素问》和《难经》的内容，大多相异而相同之处很少。如今我选取其中相同的部分，议论其中的差异，因此以“聚英”命名本书。
一、本书将经络和穴位分类汇聚为一卷。各病证的取穴与治疗方法列为第二卷。各种论述针刺与艾灸方法的章节为第三卷。各种歌赋列为第四卷。其间偶尔有所阐发发挥。
一、周身尺寸标准已在之前的集子《素难节要》中详细记载。如今只绘制图表，分别标注在上方，以便准确测量和取穴。
一、所有经络都归属于五脏六腑。如今在经络图之前绘制脏腑图，是为了让人知道外在的某条经络，就内在归属于某个脏腑。
一、《明堂针灸》、《铜人腧穴针灸图经》、《千金翼方》等书籍，拘泥于头面、腹部、手足分部列出穴位，完全没有经络起止的次序。如今依据滑寿（滑氏）的《十四经发挥》和金兰循经经络绘图的方法，每条经络从开始到结束，明确某穴位主治何种疾病，以便于考究研究。
一、《资生经》设立各种病目，将各个穴位分属其中，似乎难以阅读。如今以各经穴位为主，将主治某种疾病的穴位分属下去。仿照《神农本草经》的体例，以穴位名称在前，药性（此处指穴位功效性质）随后。
一、各经穴位，如果有原本缺失的，仍保持原样。
一、《标幽赋》、《玉龙歌》、《肘后歌》等各种歌赋，如今的医家都认为它们易于记诵。然而如果专门致力于此，那么针灸学问也就狭隘了。姑且收集在最后的一卷中，以备参考查阅。
一、奇经八脉、十二络脉、八会穴、原穴和募穴，虽然在本篇经络部分已有记载，但又在后面再次表彰列出，以便于区分辨别。
一、前人著作中有取穴捷法治疗疾病，却不明确说明穴位名称的，如今考证并阐明之。
一、取穴方法中有尚未明确的，私下议论一二。
一、针灸书籍中只有《明堂经》、《铜人腧穴针灸图经》、《千金方》、《济生拔萃》、窦汉卿的《流注指微赋》、《子午流注针经》比较好。其余书籍越出越低劣，不符合《素问》、《难经》原则的多。各自附上阐发发挥。
一、李东垣的针法，深得《素问》的宗旨，人们多忽略它。各书也不能记载。如今在《脾胃论》中将其表彰收录于此。
一、《素问》、《难经》中关于井、荥、俞、经、合五输穴主病的理论，人们大多不明白五行生克原理，所以不能运用。如今针对各经是动所生病的补泻及生克关系，细致地制定出来，以便于针刺操作。
一、各书中有关论述针灸的内容，全部摘录记录在卷末。
一、《济生拔萃》汇集了各书关于十二经井、荥、俞、经、合穴的主治病证，其余穴位则未涉及。所以如今仿效其体例，也依据《铜人腧穴针灸图经》、《千金方》、《明堂经》、《外台秘要》来补充辑录。
一、经络完全根据《十四经发挥》中流注交接的次第。穴位也依据此标准。相比《铜人腧穴针灸图经》等书中繁杂的空穴，都不再增入。
一、各空穴下的分寸、针刺深浅、艾炷多少，都全部摘录记录，以便四季取用。《明堂经》则称为“明堂”，《资生经》则称为“资生”，《千金翼方》则称为“千金”，《明堂下经》则称为“明下”或“下经”，《外台秘要》则称为“外台”，都是省略文字罢了。
一、世俗喜欢歌赋，是因为它们便于记诵。如今分类聚集各书的歌赋，放置在最后一卷。
1. Various medical texts differ significantly from, and share little with, the *Suwen* (Plain Questions) and *Nanjing* (Classic of Difficult Issues). I have selected the commonalities and discussed the differences, hence naming this work "Juying" (Gathering of Heroes/Brilliance).
2. This book compiles meridians and acupoints into one volume. The selection of acupoints and treatment methods for various diseases constitute the second volume. Discussions on acupuncture and moxibustion techniques form the third volume. Various rhymed formulas are collected in the fourth volume. Occasional elaborations are interspersed throughout.
3. The measurements of the entire body were detailed in the previous collection, *Sunnan Jiyao* (Essentials of Suwen and Nanjing). Here, only charts are drawn with measurements indicated above, to facilitate accurate measurement and point location.
4. All meridians are affiliated with the Zang and Fu organs. By placing the organ diagrams before the meridian diagrams, it is made clear that an external meridian corresponds internally to a specific Zang or Fu organ.
5. Texts such as *Mingtang Jiuzhen* (Acupuncture and Moxibustion of the Mingtang), *Tongren Shuxue Jiuzhen Tujing* (Illustrated Manual of Acupuncture Points of the Bronze Man), and *Qianjin Yifang* (Supplement to the Thousand Gold Formulas) list acupoints by region (head, face, abdomen, hands, feet) without regard to the sequence of meridian origins and endings. Now, following Hua Shi’s (Hua Shou's) *Shisi Jing Fa Hui* (Elaboration on the Fourteen Meridians) and Jinlan Xunjing Luojing Huitu (Meridian and Collateral Charts based on Golden Orchid Circulation), each meridian is presented from start to finish, specifying which disease each acupoint treats, for ease of study.
6. *Zisheng Jing* (The Nourishing Classic) categorizes diseases and assigns points accordingly, which seems difficult to read. Now, taking the meridians' acupoints as the primary structure, points are assigned under the diseases they treat. This imitates the format of *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), with the acupoint name first, followed by its therapeutic properties.
7. For acupoints missing in certain meridians, the original omissions are retained as is.
8. Rhymed formulas such as *Biaoyou Fu*, *Yulong Ge*, and *Zhoushou Ge* are considered by contemporary physicians to be easy to memorize. However, focusing exclusively on them would narrow the scope of acupuncture and moxibustion. They are therefore collected in the final volume for reference.
9. The Eight Extraordinary Vessels, Twelve Luo Collaterals, Eight Hui-Acupoints, Yuan-Source Points, and Mu-Alarm Points are recorded in the main meridian section but are also highlighted separately later for distinction.
10. In previous works, quick methods for point selection to treat diseases were described without explicitly naming the points; these have now been verified and clarified.
11. Where point location methods remain unclear, I offer some private comments.
12. Among acupuncture texts, only *Mingtang Jing*, *Tongren*, *Qianjin Fang*, *Jisheng Bahui*, Dou Shi's *Liuzhu* (Flowing Notes), and *Ziwu* (Midnight-Noon) are excellent. Others decline in quality and often contradict the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*. Elaborations are attached to each.
13. Li Dongyuan's (Li Gao's) acupuncture methods deeply grasp the essence of the *Suwen*, yet people often overlook them, and other books fail to record them. They are now highlighted here, drawing from his *Piwei Lun* (Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach).
14. Regarding the diseases governed by the Jing-River, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Jing-Stream, and He-Sea points in the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*, many do not understand the Five Elements generation and restriction cycles, rendering the theory unusable. I have meticulously formulated the tonification and sedation techniques based on the generation and restriction cycles of the diseases caused by movement in each meridian, to facilitate needling.
15. Relevant discussions on acupuncture and moxibustion from various books are fully recorded in the appendix at the end of the volume.
16. *Jisheng Bahui* collects the indications for the Jing-River, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Jing-Stream, and He-Sea points of the Twelve Meridians from various sources, but omits other points. Therefore, I follow its example and supplement it using *Tongren*, *Qianjin*, *Mingtang*, and *Waitai Mi Yao* (External Cabinet Secret Essentials).
17. The meridians strictly follow the flow and connection sequence in *Shisi Jing Fa Hui*. The acupoints also adhere to this standard. Unlike the complex and empty points found in *Tongren* and similar texts, no new points are added.
18. The distances (cun), needle depth, and number of moxa cones for each empty point are fully recorded for seasonal application. *Mingtang Jing* is abbreviated as "Mingtang," *Zisheng Jing* as "Zisheng," *Qianjin Yifang* as "Qianjin," *Mingtang Xia Jing* as "Mingxia" or "Xiajing," and *Waitai Mi Yao* as "Waitai." These are merely textual abbreviations.
19. Popular culture favors rhymed formulas because they are easy to memorize. I have categorized and collected rhymed formulas from various books and placed them in the final volume.
