What books should beginners buy for acupuncture and massage?

If you teach yourself, you don't need to research anything. You can look at meridian and acupoint science, acupuncture and massage techniques, massage therapy and so on. Or a collection of acupuncture and massage. The first four are very professional and more detailed.

PS: For books on acupoints, I recommend Yang Sanjia's acupoint atlas, which is easy to understand.

If you want to learn the detailed theory of TCM and acupuncture and massage, you should start with the basic theory of TCM and TCM diagnostics.

I am a medical student studying acupuncture and massage. You can continue to ask questions if you have any questions, and hope to adopt them.
