Songs and rhymes have been used by physicians for centuries in
China as a means of memorising and passing on methods of practice
and behaviour, moral attitudes, effective points, diagnostic tips
and rules of thumb. These newly translated poems offer a rich
insight into the life and thought of these skilled doctors, as well
as practical indications for treatment. Contemporary acupuncturists
can see from these poems the depths of the tradition, better
understand a breadth of diagnostic skills and treatment planning,
and as a result greatly improve their appreciation of intent within
their own practice. The poems also serve as a gentle introduction
to the philosophy behind acupuncture practice. This is the first
translation of these acupuncture odes, songs and rhymes from the
Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion compiled by the
Chinese physician Yang Jizhou during late Ming China. The book
includes a comprehensive introduction that places the work in
historical, cultural, and medical context, a symptom index, a point
index glossary and a list of helpful points for common signs and
symptoms encountered in acupuncture and physiotherapy clinics.
