Lingshu Jing, also known as Lingshu, Zhen Jing and Nine Needles, is one of the important works of Chinese medicine in the Han nationality and the basis of the theoretical system of Chinese medicine. It is the earliest extant theoretical work of traditional Chinese medicine, which was written in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. * * * Nine volumes and eighty-one articles, together with the nine volumes of Su Wen, are called Huangdi Neijing, which has absolute authority in acupuncture. Song Shi in the Southern Song Dynasty adapted it into twenty-four volumes, becoming the earliest and only version of Lingshu.
