Acupuncture Great Compendium was compiled and revised by Jin Xian based on Yang Jizhou's Mysterious Mechanism Secrets.

Therefore, the authorship section should be titled "Yang Jizhou of the Ming Dynasty, Original Author; Jin Xian, Compiler and Reviser." In addition to reflecting the clinical experience of the imperial physician Yang Jizhou, the book extensively collects acupuncture and moxibustion literature from before the Wanli era. In terms of organization, it combines theory and practice, with passages and annotations complementing each other, and text and diagrams supporting each other, making it a true encyclopedic work of ancient Chinese acupuncture. Since its publication, it has been widely disseminated and is one of the most numerous versions of ancient acupuncture classics, having had an extremely profound influence on the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in later generations.
