Description
Scope and content : The six fragments, which are now being restored and pieced together, have been assigned the descriptive title Jiufa tu (moxibustion charts). The MS cannot be reliably dated, but a comparison of the script with other MSS supports a date within the Tang period. Five whole-body charts are preserved intact; the remainder are damaged or fragmentary and in some cases, only traces of the accompanying explanations remain.
