The Ling Shu, considered to be the Canon of Acupuncture, is the second part of the Huang Di Nei Jing, The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. These conversations about heaven, man, and earth and their dynamic relationships are attributed to the Yellow Emperor circa 2600 B.C.E and his ministers. The first part is called the Su Wen, Simple Questions. The second part, the Ling Shu, is translated here by Wu Jing-Nuan in its context as the first known treatise about acupuncture with its associated medical procedures and for its philosophical beauty. The title itself expresses a world vision and reality where material and structure are secondary to the living energy of Ling Shu, the Spiritual Pivot

Accurate enough for understanding Philosophy,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ling Shu or The Spiritual Pivot (Kindle Edition)
I let my (Chinese-born) teacher read some of this version of the Spiritual Pivot. He has studied Classical Chinese Medicine under 3 different well-known (Chinese) Masters over the course of nearly 30 years. His understanding of the Spiritual Pivot is quite deep - and he lectures on various chapters of it in Vancouver BC.In his opinion, it is only about 60% accurate in terms of the specifics. However, he states that this translation is certainly good enough to aid in one's comprehension of the (very necessary) fundamentals of classical Chinese thought. I commend the author on his effort to translate a very difficult & very deep work
