The format of the second volume is the same as that of the first. Each of the 100 characters is introduced in its simplified and complex forms with significs and stroke counts for both forms. The most commonly used equivalents of the characters are also shown. Further descriptions give the composition of the character, explain the evolution of its meanings, and give examples of character combinations. A final section sets out the stroke sequence for the character and includes space for students to practice writing the characters. The Chinese name reflects a point's location, function, yin-yang and five-phase affiliation, or relationship to the channel system. Thus they tell students someting about the clinical utlization of the point, or provide a mnemonic key to important features of its use. For all acupuncture points, a literal translation of the point name is given. For easy review purposes, an appendix contains a systematic list of channel point names which are exclusively comprised of characters introduced in this book and in Volume One. When you have mastered these two books, you will be amazed at how many point names you can read!
