title: [Summary of the research on Master Dou's Canon of Acupuncture].
abstract: Doutaishi Zhenjing ("[Chinese characters: see text]" Master DOU's Canon of Acupuncture) is a monograph on acupoints, without spreading widely. Now, there exist two manuscript writings, namely, Yang's Jiachuan Zhenjing Tuxiang ("[Chinese characters: see text]") YANG's Patrimonial Acupuncture Canon and Pictures) and Yulong Ge ("[Chinese characters: see text]") Jade Dragon Verse), but both are not complete. The maneuvers of acupuncture needle and indications of acupoints recorded in Master DOU's Canon of Acupuncture still have an important clinical significance in guiding current acupuncture practice. In the present paper, the authors simply introduce their study results about this monograph from the title and published time, writer, origin and development of the handed copies, basic contents and the academic source for further study in the coming days.
