The *Suwen* (Plain Questions), comprising twelve volumes, is widely known as the book of dialogues between the Yellow Emperor and Qibo. However, upon examining its purport, it appears not to be the words of a single moment, nor was it composed by a single author; rather, its compilation was transmitted alongside the sayings of Confucius and Zisi. Chapters such as "Linglan Midian" (Secret Canon of Spiritual Orchids), "Wuchang Zhengda," and "Liuyuan Zhengji" all serve to elucidate the principles of generation and restriction among Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, aligning with phenomena and virtue, and are indeed pertinent to the human body. Various methods of observing complexion, pulse diagnosis, disease nomenclature, and key points of acupuncture treatment are all expanded upon by deducing from these principles. Huangfu Mi's *Jiayi Jing* (Acupuncture Classic of the First Master) and Yang Shangshan's *Huangdi Neijing Taisu* (Essential Simplicity of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) are also based on this text, differing only in minor details. The general principles and laws of medical practice do not transcend this work. Nevertheless, consulting the *Yiwen Zhi* (Treatise on Literature) in the *Book of Han*, there is mention of eighteen volumes of *Neijing* (Inner Canon) and the name Bian Que. Bai Shi stated that there were three schools of *Neijing*, yet the title *Suwen* was not listed. It was not until the *Sui Shu: Jingji Zhi* (Bibliography in the Book of Sui) that the name *Suwen* first appeared, being identified as the *Neijing*. Wang Bing of the Tang Dynasty then incorporated nine volumes of *Jiuling* (Nine Mysteries) to conform to the number cited in the *Han Zhi*, providing annotations for it. He also falsely attributed the *Yinyang Dalun* (Great Treatise on Yin and Yang) to Zhang Gong's collection to supplement missing parts. His diligence was commendable. Regrettably, the red ink (commentaries) and black ink (original text) became confused, good and bad materials were mixed, exegesis was often pedantic and loose, and citations were sometimes irrelevant. During the Song Dynasty, Lin Yi, Gao Ruone, and others corrected erroneous texts and supplemented missing meanings, doing considerable service to Wang Bing's work.
The *Nanjing* (Classic of Difficult Issues), comprising thirteen volumes, was authored by Qin Yueren (Bian Que). He expounded upon the theories of the *Huangdi Neijing* using a question-and-answer format to instruct students.
The *Ziwu Jing* (Sub-Zi Classic), one volume, discusses the essentials of acupuncture and moxibustion, formulated into rhymed verses. Later generations attributed it to Bian Que.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold), written by Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty. Its sections on Daoyin (guiding and pulling exercises) and health preservation are comprehensive and thorough.
The *Shisi Jing Fahui* (Elucidation of the Fourteen Meridians), three volumes, was written by Hua Ren (courtesy name Bo Ren) of Xuchang. He received acupuncture techniques from Gao Dongyang of Dongping, mastering the essentials of meridian opening/closing, flow and injection, intersection, and divergence, thereby achieving therapeutic efficacy and demonstrating the subtleties of medicine.
The *Shenyi Jing* (Divine Response Classic), one volume, was compiled by Chen Huisuo of Honggang. Having previously written the twelve-volume *Guang Ai Shu* (Book of Extending Love), he feared it was too voluminous. He selected 119 acupoints exclusively, compiling them into a single fascicle as a concise guideline for learners. This edition was collated by Liu Jin of Nanchang.
Regarding various authors related to acupuncture and moxibustion found in works such as *Gujin Yitong*, *Qiankun Shengyi*, *Yixue Rumen*, and *Yijing Guoxiao*, please refer to their original texts.
The *Xuanji Miyao* (Mystical Secrets of Profound Principles) is a collection of family-transmitted works by Yang Jishi of Jizhou, Sanqu.
The *Zhenjiu Dacheng* (Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) comprehensively collects and categorizes the aforementioned books into ten volumes. It was selected and collated by Jin Xian of Jinyang. Subsequent practitioners who studied it found it repeatedly effective.
