This book is written in three parts. Part I in seven chapters
introduces the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine. This
consists of the theory of yin-yang, the five elements, zangfu, channels
and collaterals, qi, blood, body fluid, etiology, diagnosis, and
differentiation of syndromes.
To emphasize theory at the beginning of
the book is to lay a sound foundation for the study of acupuncture and
moxibustion-an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine-taking this
theory as a guide in clinical practice.
2. Part II consists of three
chapters. It gives a general sketch of the channel and points, detailing
the courses of the 1 2 channels, the extra channels, the points of each
channel and the extraordinary points. The source material of the 1 2
regular channels is taken from An Essay on Channels from Lingshu and
that of the 8 extra channels is taken mainly from A Classic of Difficult
Questions. As to the location of the points, A Classic of Acupuncture
and Moxibustion has been consulted, and the Illustrated Manual on the
Points for Acupuncture and Moxibustion as Shown on the Bronze Figure,
the Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, etc. have been referred
to.
3. Part Ill deals with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. The
first chapter lays stress on acupuncture technique using the filiform
needle and methods using other types of needle, as well as moxibustion
technique. Manipulation methods in acupuncture and moxibustion
introduced in this book are easy to master and practical for clinical
use. Difficult and rare methods are not presented.
