Summary

This book mainly introduces the historical origins, inheritance and development, basic theories, instruments and models, technical methods, and UNESCO listing and protection of TCM acupuncture and moxibustion, comprehensively presenting an overview of its development and basic content.

Editor's review

This volume in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Moxibustion Inheritance and Protection Series provides an overview of the development of TCM acupuncture and moxibustion, written by Zhang Lijian and Yang Jinsheng. It covers historical origins, inheritance and development, basic theories, instruments and models, technical methods, and UNESCO listing and protection. Its broad coverage makes it suitable as an introductory reader for understanding the full picture of TCM acupuncture and moxibustion. Its value lies in presenting acupuncture within the framework of historical transmission and intangible cultural heritage protection: it discusses not only theory and technique but also the evolution of instruments and the process of UNESCO listing, allowing readers to build an overall understanding rather than focusing on a single technique. For readers who need to quickly grasp the trajectory of acupuncture's development, the book is clearly structured with well-defined topics and can serve as a guide to the more specialized volumes. It is recommended to read the whole book first to form a framework, then turn to the thematic volumes on inheritors, meridian and acupoint culture, and so on according to interest.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Readers encountering TCM acupuncture and moxibustion systematically for the first time who need an overview
  • Students at TCM colleges and universities, as supplementary reading on the history and basic content of acupuncture
  • Science and culture communicators who need basic material on the UNESCO listing and protection of acupuncture
  • General readers interested in intangible cultural heritage who want to understand the overall landscape of TCM acupuncture and moxibustion

Not a good fit for

  • Practitioners seeking detailed clinical needling techniques and operational guidelines
  • Readers hoping to study in depth the experience of a particular school or inheritor
  • Self-learners expecting to replace a standard acupuncture textbook for systematic study

Reading tips

  1. Read the sections on historical origins and inheritance and development first to establish a chronological framework, then read the theory and technique chapters.
  2. Treat the content on instruments and models and on UNESCO listing and protection as separate topics to review for easier retention.
  3. After finishing, choose volumes in the series on inheritors, meridian and acupoint culture, and so on for deeper study according to interest.
  4. Take framework notes using the table of contents while reading to avoid losing the key points in overview material.
