Abstract:
It is evident that the book “Compendium on Acupuncture and Moxibustion” was not translated
until 1757. It may have been translated since 1757. Evidence of this is the School of Clear Script
was established in the 47th year of Tengeriig Tetgegch Khan or in 1782 in Beijing. Therefore,
we suggest that Zhenjiu Dacheng 针 灸 大成 was written in 1601 by Yang Jizhou 杨继 州 and
translated into Mongolian in Clear Mongolian script in 1782. It is reasonable to believe that this
written translation of the “Compendium on Acupuncture and Moxibustion “ book spread in western
Mongolia from this period. However, today only the 4th and 6th books of the 10 books of this book
have been handed down to us.
The first period for the Clear Script developed from 1648 to the second half of the XVIII century, but
it did not reflect the Oirat local dialect. The second period covered from the second half of the XVIII
century to the recent Xinjiang. In this period Oirat’s local dialect was reflected in the Clear Script.
Also, one interesting fact is that there are a lot of Oirat local dialects in the Mongolian translation
of the “Compendium on Acupuncture and Moxibustion”.
Therefore, the book is being translated into the late XVIII century or after the second half of the
XVIII century.
