Features: This manual is a comprehensive reference book for acupuncture. The authors are all acupuncture experts with extensive clinical experience, most of whom hold senior professional titles, while some are young and middle-aged professionals with outstanding expertise. In the writing process, the authors adhere to the principle of combining basic theory with clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome treatment with Western medicine disease treatment, ancient literature records with new clinical data, and the practical experience of renowned experts nationwide with the personal clinical insights of the authors. In the sections on basic theory and meridians, the discussions are comprehensive and systematic, with elaborations and analyses from new perspectives. In the acupoint section, the relevant content is listed in a clear and understandable manner, and the discussions on "meridian" and "regional" are organically integrated, effectively resolving the inherent contradiction. In the clinical section, it introduces acupuncture therapies for 78 syndromes and 199 diseases, as well as eight other clinical applications of acupuncture, with comprehensive explanations and reasonable categorization, citing many ancient literature and recent clinical data. In the section on acupuncture anesthesia, it covers acupuncture anesthesia methods for 23 types of surgical procedures. In summary, while emphasizing practicality, the breadth and novelty of the content in this manual are outstanding compared to other comprehensive acupuncture. This manual is suitable for acupuncture practitioners, acupuncture researchers, and acupuncture enthusiasts as a reference for study and work.
