The ABC Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion(Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing)
1. The Pioneering Work of an Independent Discipline
The ABC Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing), also known as The Yellow Emperor's Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, was compiled in 282 CE by the scholar-physician Huangfu Mi. By systematically organizing material from classical texts like the Su Wen, Ling Shu, and Mingtang acupuncture classics, it established itself as the earliest extant dedicated treatise on acupuncture and moxibustion in China. Its significance lies not only in its synthesis of earlier knowledge but in creating an integrated clinical framework linking channels, acupoints, and needling/moxibustion techniques. It is revered as the foundational text of acupuncture.

2. Three Core Theoretical Advances
2.1 Standardization of the Channel System

  • Established the precise pathways and connection rules of the Twelve Primary Channels.
  • First clearly defined the functions of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.
  • Pioneered illustrated acupuncture charts with the Mingtang Three-Figure Diagrams.

2.2 Standardization of Acupoint Locations
Categorized and located hundreds of acupoints using systematic measurement methods based on bone lengths and anatomical landmarks.

2.3 Systematization of Needling and Moxibustion Techniques

  • Classified the applications of the Nine Needles.
  • Proposed quantifiable criteria for De Qi ("arrival of Qi") sensation.
  • Established norms for the amount of moxa used (e.g., cautioning against excessive moxibustion).

The enduring greatness of The ABC Classic lies in its distillation of ancient understanding of the body, struggle with disease, and reverence for life into a technical system that is transmissible, verifiable, and capable of development. When modern medicine uses PET-CT to visualize channel phenomena or fMRI to monitor De Qi responses, it is, in essence, testing the life mysteries documented in this 1800-year-old classic. It reminds us that a true medical classic is never a closed dogma, but a vital, open invitation to dialogue with the future.
