Features: "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Gathering Excellence," also known as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Gathering Excellence with Elaborations," compiled by Gao Wu of the Ming Dynasty. The book consists of four volumes: Volume 1 covers the viscera, meridians, and acupoints; Volume 2 discusses disease syndromes and their treatments; Volume 3 explains acupuncture and moxibustion techniques; and Volume 4 includes various acupuncture and moxibustion odes and formulas. This book primarily compiles relevant content from various acupuncture and moxibustion works before the Ming Dynasty, serving as an important summary of acupuncture and moxibustion knowledge before the 16th century. Additionally, the book occasionally includes the author's personal academic insights. It is not only rich in content but also highly practical, exerting a significant influence on the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in later generations. To this day, it remains a valuable reference for both acupuncture theory and clinical practice.
