The Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion by Yang Jizhou is an encyclopedic Ming dynasty work on Acupuncture and Moxibustion. Volume I, translated by Sabine Wilms, Ph.D, offers a selection of quotations related to acupuncture and moxibustion from the Han period classics Huang Di Nei Jing (Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor) and Nan Jing (Classic of Difficult Issues), with some explanations added by Yang Jizhou. In this first volume, Yang Jizhou lays out the fundamental theories of classical Chinese medicine that he expands on and enriches with his personal clinical experience in the subsequent volumes.
