Neijing zhiyao, in two volumes, compiled by Li Zhongzi of the Ming dynasty, was carefully proof-read by Xue Shenbai of the Qing dynasty. Among the hundred or so annotated editions of Neijing suwen and Lingshu that appeared in different formats and styles in the past generations, only Neijing zhiyao compiled by Mr. Li Nian'er of the Ming dynasty is the most succint but pithy.-from Sibu zonglu yiyaobian Y.C.
