Description:

Acupuncture for A Hundred Diseases in Verse (known as Bai Zheng Fu in Chinese) summarizes the experience of how to choose the most effective acupuncture points (acupoints) for 96 diseases. 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 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic, Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion by Jizhou Yang in the Ming Dynasty (1601). 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 textbook used by all of the TCM colleges in China. This verse is very useful for those who are interested in learning authentic TCM through the classics.
