Zangxiang Jingmai Yuanliu Zeyin (Exploration of Origin and Development of Visceral Manifestations and Meridians
) traces the historical origin for the development of the theories of visceral manifestation and meridians and in terms of the guiding principles and cultural background of these theories structured by the ancients. It chains the clues of the related knowledge development in
Huangdi Neijing
(
the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic
) based on the rich historic literature. By interpreting the classics through history and in view of the specific humanistic perspective
the book exhibits the non-linear evolution track of the theoretical knowledge of visceral manifestation and meridians in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. It is an important works in the field of acupuncture and humanities
and enlightens the cross-exploration of acupuncture
even in the circle of academic study of TCM and the humanities.
