The book, Zhen jiu jing yan fang (Experiential Recipe on Acupuncture and Moxibustion), written by Xu Ren, an imperial physician of Korea was completed in the 4th year of Renzu emperor (1644), and was an important work for the history of Korean acupuncture and moxibustion. However, there were mistakes on its writing date as described in the books of acu - moxibustion history in former reports. The portion of Mian xue tang zhen jiu ji cheng (Mianxuetang's Complete Work of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) universally recognized to be unique, was plagiarized from Zhen jiu jing yan fang.
