Description:

The Jade Dragon Verse of Using Acupuncture (known as Yu Long Fu in Chinese) uses “jade dragon” in its name to indicate its value. It summarizes the experience of how to choose the most effective acupuncture points (acupoints) for 84 diseases. Totally 102 acupoints are used. This verse emphasizes on the coordination of exterior and interior meridians. It uses many extra acupoints that are outside regular meridians. It is one of the most popular acupuncture verses. It was originally from Dr. Bian Que, the “miraculous doctor” in Chinese history. It has been reprinted for hundreds of years and is one of the “must-learn” verses in Chinese medicine education in China. It was included in the well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic, Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (Zhen Jiu Da Cheng) by Jizhou Yang in the Ming Dynasty (1601). This verse is very useful for those who are interested in learning authentic TCM through the classics.
