Lingshu Jing (also known as the Spiritual Pivot) is a classic Chinese medical text and one of the foundational texts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is one of the two sections of the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), the other being the Suwen (Basic Questions).

History

The Lingshu Jing is believed to have been written in the late Warring States period (475–221 BC) but was lost during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD). The current version is a reconstruction from later texts.

Content

The Lingshu Jing consists of 81 chapters that cover a wide range of medical topics, including acupuncture, moxibustion, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and disease etiology. It is particularly noted for its detailed descriptions of the meridian system used in acupuncture.

Influence

The Lingshu Jing has had a profound influence on the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is still widely studied and referenced in the field today.
