So, it can give guidance and directions to acupuncture and moxibustion manipulation. Moreover, with some new ideas by dividing acupuncture-moxibustion techniques into skills relating to acupoints, abstract or basic skills, and clinical skills, it makes valuable exploration to the establishment of an applied science - acupuncture-moxibustion technique." -Prof. Wang Xuetai, Chairman of the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies
