The earliest mention of the Huangdi neijing was in the bibliographical chapter of the Hanshu 漢書 (or Book of Han, completed in 111 CE), next to a Huangdi waijing 黃帝外經 (“Yellow Emperor’s Outer Canon”) that is now lost. A scholar‐physician called Huangfu Mi 皇甫謐 (215‐282 CE) was the first to claim that the Huangdi neijing in 18 juan 卷 (or volumes) that was listed in the Hanshu bibliography corresponded with two different books that circulated in his own time: the Suwen and the Zhenjing 鍼經 (“Needling Canon”), each in 9 juan.Since scholars believe that Zhenjing was one of the Lingshu's earlier titles, they agree that the Han‐dynasty Huangdi neijing was made of two different texts that are close in content to the works we know today as the Suwen and the Lingshu.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic (Huangdi Neijing, 黃帝內經) is the most important ancient text in Chinese medicine as well as a major book of Daoist theory and lifestyle. The text is structured as a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor and one of his ministers or physicians, most commonly Qíbó (Chinese: 岐伯), but also Shàoyú (Chinese: 少俞). One possible reason for using this device was for the (anonymous) authors to avoid attribution and blame (see pages 8‐14 in Unschuld for an exposition of this).
The Neijing departs from the old shamanistic beliefs that disease was caused by demonic influences. Instead the natural effects of diet, lifestyle, emotions, environment, and age are the reason diseases develop. According to the Neijing, the universe is composed of various forces and principles, such as Yin and yang, Qi and the Five Elements (or phases). These forces can be understood via rational means and man can stay in balance or return to balance and health by understanding the laws of these natural forces. Man is a microcosm that mirrors the larger macrocosm. The principles of yin and yang, the five elements, the environmental factors of wind, damp, hot and cold and so on that are part of the macrocosm equally apply to the human microcosm.

Ancient Chinese acupressure has been widely used in and originates from China and has also made a great contribution to the thriving and prosperity of the nation for more than 2,500 years. But the question is how to practice self treatment if you've never attended professional training and have no any idea about the name, location and function of up to 365 acupoints, as well as the manipulation?
Now, it's never been easier to practice self‐treatment of acupressure like a professional massagist if you'd like to.
Guide for Selftreatment of Acupressure featuring more than 200 most commonly used acupoints from 12 meridians. Each acupoint includes the code, name, location and function of this acupoint, as well as an illustration diagram.
The acupoits are marked as clear as possible letting non‐professionals like you to practice selftreatment of acupressure much easier.
