About the work

This entry duplicates KR3eu024 — the acupuncture-and-moxibustion chapter of the Yīzōng jīnjiàn, 8 juàn.

Abstract

The chapter codifies the shísì jīng 十四經 (fourteen channels: the twelve regular plus Rèn and ) as the standard Qīng acupuncture-channel system, with mnemonic-verse acupoint listings and clinical-application chapters by symptom. It was the official Qīng imperial-academy textbook of acupuncture and remained in active institutional use into the 20th century. Composition window 1742–1749.
