Liang Liwu is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available. One work by this author is currently known, and it falls under the category of medicine. The representative work is Yizhen Ling (Third Edition), literally “One-Needle Wonder.” The title indicates that the book concerns acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medical therapy, and the phrase “one needle” suggests an emphasis on choosing few acupoints and keeping procedures simple. The fact that it is a third edition shows that earlier versions existed and that the content has been revised through use. Based on the available information, Liang Liwu's writing is oriented toward practical diagnosis and treatment as well as study and reference; it is a practical compilation in the field of Chinese acupuncture, with language and organization intended to serve consultation and application. Because reliable records of birth and death dates, education, and professional experience are unavailable, this introduction makes no inferences and presents the author's identity and writing direction solely on the basis of the work information in the database, for readers' reference when learning about the book.
