Ü     Definitions, origins, constitutions of various types of acupuncture, their clinical applications, and illustrative case reports were recommended.  There are also brief statements about heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the interrelationship between climates nad mankind.  Besides, a chapter of catechism had been written, where readers could find answers of questions encountered in this book.
