Features: This book was compiled by Gao Wu during the Ming Dynasty in the 16th year of the Jiajing era (1537). It consists of four volumes, covering meridians and acupoints, acupoint selection and treatment methods for various conditions, acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, and acupoint-related songs and rhymes. This book represents a systematic summary of acupoint indications for diseases, following the first comprehensive summary in the Han Dynasty's Mingtang Jing. It has made significant contributions to the development of acupoint theory and has had a profound influence on the advancement of acupuncture and moxibustion in later generations. For example, the acupoint-related songs and rhymes included in the book, such as the Yulong Fu, Zhouhou Ge, Baizheng Fu, and Buxue Xuexin Ge, are still widely cited today and were first recorded in this book. Additionally, the book contains many of the author's unique insights, which continue to hold considerable clinical guidance value for the development of acupuncture today. This edition adopts the most refined version available, with a preface guide added to the front and an acupoint index appended to the back for easy reference. This book is suitable for reference by acupuncture and moxibustion professionals, clinical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in various disciplines, and also serves as a learning resource for acupuncture enthusiasts.
