Abstract
Written in Dunhuang, Chiwu shenzhen jing ((sic)) is a long lost medical work and its contents remain unknown. Based on Dunhuang manuscripts and Japanese collections of ancient Chinese medical classics, this research argues that Chiwu shenzhen jing concerns temporally sensitive needling treatment, which forms an early practice of the midnight-noon ebb-fl ow (the commonly-used translation of Ziwu liuzhu (sic)) therapy, in fact, as early as the 3rd century CE. At the very end of this article, this research emphasizes the role of Dunhuang as a vehicle for promoting the ebb-fl ow theory through the Sino-Indian medical exchanges.
