Professor Wang Xuetai, Secretary-General of the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies, Vice President of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Vice President of the China Association of Acupuncture and Moxibustion:

"The field of obstetrics and gynecology, known as a major branch, surprisingly lacks a specialized acupuncture monograph, which can be considered a deficiency. Chun graduated from a traditional Chinese medicine college and has considerable experience in acupuncture. He has long been aware of the lack of a specialized acupuncture monograph in the field of gynecology in our country. He thoroughly searched through Chinese medical books and journals published in the forty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, collected articles on acupuncture in gynecology, and accumulated them over the years, which is quite impressive. He then classified them into categories, added annotations, and compiled them into a book, naming it 'Nine Collections of Acupuncture Prescriptions for Women' for publication."
