Nan Jing (Chinese medicine)

-
The Huangdi Bashiyi Nanjing (黃帝八十一難經 English: "The Huang Emperor's Canon of Eighty-One Difficult Issues"), often referred to simply as the Nan Jing, is one of the classics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Written in the late Han dynasty, the Nan Jing is so named because its 81 chapters seek to clarify enigmatic statements made in the Huangdi Neijing. Among the contributions it makes to TCM are:
- The establishement of pulse diagnosis basic to modern practice, and somewhat different schema to the Ling Shu
- The establishment of the “Qi Jing Ba Mai” (Eight Extraordinary Meridians).
- Establishment of the theory of Back-Shu, Front-Mu and Yuan-source points.
- Development of the Five-Shu Points theory, which is the basis for Five-element Acupuncture.
- First mention of deqi, the energetic sensation a practitioner feels when reaching correct placement of an acupuncture needle.
