Ming dynasty.
Yang Jizhou (about 1522-1620), known as Jishi, was the thirteenth descendant of the Yang family of Liangjiayuan, and a native of Sanqu in the Ming Dynasty (now Liudu Yang Village, Twenty Li Town, Qujiang District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province). Because he lived in Kyoto, he was also known as the "Dumen Yang family". His main works include "Acupuncture and Moxibustion".
Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng, also known as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Daquan", is an acupuncture work compiled by Yang Jizhou in the Ming Dynasty and corrected by Jin Xian. The book consists of 10 volumes, which comprehensively summarizes the experience and achievements of acupuncture and moxibustion before the Ming Dynasty. The book not only collects various literature, but also the author's academic opinions, acupuncture treatment methods and medical cases. The content includes acupuncture theory, song fu and acupoint diagrams. It is a widely circulated and influential work in acupuncture and moxibustion.
According to the twenty-second volume of the "Chinese Medical Examination", Yang Jizhou's family history, his grandfather Yang Yi, and his father Yang Ji both worked in Tai Hospital and had a high reputation. The Yang family has been a medical practitioner for several generations, and the family has a rich collection of secret recipes, prescriptions and medical classics. On the basis of classics such as "The Secret of Acupuncture and Moxibustion", combined with his personal clinical practice experience, Yang Jizhou comprehensively summarized the achievements of acupuncture and moxibustion before the Ming Dynasty, and wrote the book "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng", which has become a classic work of acupuncture and moxibustion in China. The book is included in the inventory of the "Siku Quanshu" and is respected as a classic of acupuncture and moxibustion by the medical circles at home and abroad.
