黃帝內經靈樞
Huángdì Nèijīng Língshū
Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor — Numinous Pivot

The other half of the Inner Canon: vessels, needling, and the body's surface.

The Lingshu is the companion volume to the Suwen. Where the Suwen argues from first principles, the Lingshu works at the surface of the body: the vessels, their measurements, and what to do with a needle.
