Sineunggyeong (Book of Acupuncture)

Sineunggyeong is a specialist medical text dealing with acupuncture and moxibustion (chimgu), printed as a woodblock edition in 1474, the fifth year of King Seongjong. Its preface is missing and has been supplied in manuscript, and the lower part of the main text, worn and torn, was reinforced with interleaved sheets of paper pasted together. In 1643, the twenty-first year of King Injo, it was reprinted using movable type cast by the Hullyeon dogam (Military Training Command). This book is valued as an important source for bibliographic studies and for research into traditional Korean medicine.
