There are also images of acupuncture points, allowing people to understand the acupuncture points more intuitively. The content may be a bit difficult, so you have to spend time studying it. I particularly disliked a certain character in the book who always said confusing things. I really wish he could be more direct! But overall, this book is still worth reading.
