Description:

Understanding the Miracle and Essence of Acupuncture (Tong Xuan Zhi Yao Fu) was written by a well-known acupuncturist Hanqing Dou (1196-1280). This verse summarizes the experience of how to choose the most effective acupuncture points (acupoints) for more than 50 diseases. This translation not only translates the language, but also provides explanations since ancient Chinese is very different from today’s language, from characters to the grammar. This verse is one of the most popular acupuncture verses. It was first recorded in Wu Gao’s book A Collection of Outstanding Treatises in Acupuncture and Moxibustion in the Ming Dynasty (1529). It was then included in another well-known Chinese medicine classic, Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion by Jizhou Yang (1522-1620). This verse has been reprinted for hundreds of years and has become a “must-learn” in Chinese medicine education in China. It is included in the acupuncture text book used by all of the TCM colleges in China.
