Summary
- The original inscription of this work reads: "Compiled by Li Rihua of Jiahe; supplemented by Lu Zhongmin of Qianjiang; and edited by Qian Weiqi of Gulin." Si ku quan shu zong mu (The general catalog for the complete collection of the four treasuries) records three of Li Rihua's works, but not this title, which leads to the conclusion that Li may not have been its author. However, the prefaces of several other reference works claim that Li Rihua was the author of this work and that it was edited and supplemented by Lu Zhongmin and Qian Weiqi. One such preface was written by Li Zhaoheng, son of Li Rihua. According to a biography of Li Rihua in Ming shi (Ming history), during the Wanli (1573-1620) and Tianqi (1621-1627) periods, Li Rihua's name rivaled those of Wang Weijian and Dong Qichang, two men of encyclopedic knowledge. As the literary men of the Ming dynasty were inclined to be vain, Li's son may have agreed to attribute this work to his father to bolster the reputations of Lu Zhongmin and Qian Weiqi, who may have been its real authors. The book's contents are similar to those in Pan Guangzu's Yu tu bei kao (Reference notes to maps) and Wu Xueyan's Di tu zong yao (Summaries to maps), the former very detailed, and the latter containing a multitude of material but written in simple language. This work, however, possibly using Yu tu bei kao as a blueprint, provides little information in a very long text. World Digital Library.

- - 原題：「嘉禾李日華君實纂輯，錢江魯重民孔式補訂，古臨錢蔚起黼明較定」。攷四庫總目著錄日華所撰官制備考二卷，姓氏譜纂七卷，時物典彙二卷，提要並疑偽託。此本有崇禎十三年李景廉錢喜起李肇亨四六全書序，又有六有堂主人四六全書凡例，知所謂四六全書者，除總目所載三書外，尚有是書及四六類編十三卷，凡五種。諸序均謂日華所纂，重民蔚起所補訂。且肇亨為日華子，所言亦如是，然則肇亨序亦偽耶？明史日華本傳稱：「萬曆天啟間所稱博物君子，王惟儉與董其昌並，而日華亞之」，意者或日華曾擬輯??時賢手札，重民蔚起，欲借用其博物君子之名，遂雜採朱錦許以忠等書，以為四六類編，其書既行，其後四書遂并託之日華耶？明季文士，最好虛譽，肇亨學識未必深厚，既有人歸譽其先人，遂亦從而是之耳。類編注語多採自四六類函與四六爭奇，非出日華手，其跡甚明。而是書亦與同時潘光祖輿圖備考，吳學儼等地圖綜要相近似，校其內容，備攷最詳，綜要事繁文簡，此書事簡文繁，蓋是書僅以備考為藍本，並未參之一統志也，日華何至孤陋若此！是必魯錢二氏所為也。劉士鏻序.
