Features: Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing is one of the earliest existing specialized books on acupuncture and moxibustion in China, believed to have been compiled around the third year of the Taikang era in the Jin Dynasty, nearly 1,700 years ago. The book consists of twelve volumes and one hundred twenty-eight chapters, covering content from ancient Chinese physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment. The author not only defined the locations of acupuncture points but also adopted a method of arranging them by division and line. Furthermore, he systematically summarized the treatment experiences of acupuncture and moxibustion before the Jin Dynasty based on clinical practice, making this book a comprehensive collection of the therapeutic applications of acupuncture points. This book is suitable for reference by acupuncture and moxibustion researchers and clinicians, as well as for students of traditional Chinese medicine colleges and enthusiasts of TCM.
