- Xiuzhen Tu
Xiuzhen Tu (修真圖) or the Chart of the Cultivation of Perfection, is a yet-undated map to the human anatomy explained in the context of
Xiuzhen , a method to approach spiritual transcendence. The Xiuzhen Tu is thought to be as old as the "Neijing Tu " (內經圖) or the "Chart of Inner Warp" attributable to the author ofHuangdi Neijing , they were traceable to Xiuzhen Shishu [Pregadio (2008), p.767] . There is no consensus to the exact dating of both charts [Kohn (2000), p. 487. cited 1886CE as year of circulation(?) but went no further] but Taoist believe they would be as old as theHuangdi Neijing .ee also
