The preface says: "After reading the "Bi Zhen Tu", it is said that the treasures in the stone chamber should not be passed down. Lu Gong has a long history of brushwork and it has lasted for a long time. I doubt the author, so I solemnly say it, and I hope that future generations will not take it lightly. My ancestors wrote two books () The world's best commentaries have all been written down. He was born too late. He didn't see his ancestor (Yan) being taught the secrets orally by his ancestors. He knew a little bit about it, but his nature was dull. After studying for twenty years, he didn't reach the extreme. He was just learning Yan. Liu Weicheng, who followed Dong Zhao, was well-known at the time. Ever since the gentleman saw his back, he was afraid of falling on the night before. His fighting spirit came to "Liquan Ming" and "Temple Tablet", and he seemed to have obtained the meaning of being outside the law.
