摘要

In 1900, around 50 000 books and manuscripts were discovered in the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang in Gansu Province, China.Known today as the "Dunhuang Heritage",this trove had been sealed in a cave for close on 900 years.Among the books, there was a volume entitled "New Compendium of Works on Moxibustion for Emergencies (新集备急灸经)".It is the earliest original manuscript for the collection of acupuncture papers at present and is particularly precious as not having been found recorded in any ancient books.
