[size=18:58566ece51][b:58566ece51]Ode to the Twelve Heavenly Star Points of Ma Danyang[/b:58566ece51][/size:58566ece51]
Written by [b:58566ece51]Ma Danyang[/b:58566ece51] (1123-83), famous daoist physician, he is well known today for his poem (ode, song) about 11 acupuncture points. A century later, [b:58566ece51]Xu Feng[/b:58566ece51] (who is known for introducing the eight extraordinary meridians) added a 12th point and gave the ode the new name: [b:58566ece51][i:58566ece51]Song of the Twelve Points Shining Bright as the Starry Sky and Able to Heal All the Many Diseases[/i:58566ece51][/b:58566ece51]. This song was translated to English and published as an appendix to [b:58566ece51]The Golden Needle and Other Odes of Traditional Acupuncture[/b:58566ece51] by Richard Bertschinger in 1991.
