Features: "This set consists of six illustrations, five of which depict the 14 meridians and their 361 acupoints, as well as 82 extra-meridian points. The background includes skin, internal organs, bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Different colored lines and dots are used to distinguish meridians and acupoints, with some local areas highlighted by small illustrations. The sixth illustration focuses on micro-needling systems, including head needles, ear needles, face needles, nose needles, hand needles, foot needles, and wrist/ankle needles, with 192 acupoints and insertion points. The 14 meridian points, extra-meridian points (standard), head needle lines, and ear needle points are depicted and positioned according to the National Standard of China's 'Acupoint Locations,' the 'Nomenclature and Locations of Auricular Acupoints,' and the World Health Organization's 'International Standard Acupuncture and Moxibustion Nomenclature.' To facilitate reader application, the author has written an 'Explanation,' which covers a brief history of acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as basic theories, with a focus on acupoints, including names, numbering, location methods, indications, and acupuncture/moxibustion techniques. The illustrations accurately reflect the true anatomical structure of the human body, with precise acupoint positioning, bright colors, and clear visibility. The explanation progresses from simple to complex, is rich in content, and includes prescriptions for common clinical conditions. It serves as a practical tool for clinical acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, teaching, and research. Suitable for clinical medical personnel, medical school students and teachers, grassroots healthcare workers, and acupuncture enthusiasts for learning and reference."
