China: Mi Huangfu, scholar and physician during the Late Han Dynasty (215-282 CE)

Huangfu Mi was a Chinese scholar and physician during the late Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Jin Dynasty period of Chinese history. He was born into a poor farming family in present-day Gansu province. Between 256 and 260, toward the end of the state of Cao Wei, he compiled the' Canon of Acupuncture and Moxibustion' (Pinyin: Zhenjiu jiayi jing; Wade–Giles: Chen-chiu chia-i ching), a collection of various texts on acupuncture written in earlier periods. This book in 12 volumes further divided into 128 chapters was one of the earliest systematic works on acupuncture and moxibustion, and it proved to be one of the most influential. Huangfu Mi also compiled 10 books in a series called 'Records of Emperors and Kings'.
