Taking eminent Ming doctor and scholar Li Zhongzi's selection of texts as a basis, he also includes a number of additional texts from the Huangdi Neijing on topics such as the spirit in treatment, a resonance with nature, the art of needling, and the Five Elemental body and personality types, thus ensuring the relevance of this core set of information for students and practitioners of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine today.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral box-reviews\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; line-height: 22.652px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral-content\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; opacity: 1!important;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"std\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e'This book is like warm spring water transmitting profoundness in a very calm, non-invasive way to argue the points.
