类者，分其类聚而分之。
Translation
The Inner Classic is the fountainhead of medicine, but its text is terse and abstruse, hard for students to glimpse. Now I sort it by category and string it into order, so that by seeking the meaning through categories its subtleties all appear and the purport of the Inner Classic becomes clear.
📝 Commentary
Zhang Jingyue's monumental Ming reclassification of the Inner Classic. This explains his method of sorting the text into categories so that its abstruse meaning becomes accessible.
