The Zubi Shiyi Mai Jiujing (), or Cauterization Canon of the Eleven Vessels of the Foot and Forearm, is an ancient Chinese medical text that was excavated in 1973 from a tomb in Mawangdui Han tombs site that was sealed in 168 BCE, under the Han dynasty., pp. 14-15 and 23. It was handcopied in seal script around 215 BCE, under the Qin dynasty, on the same sheet of silk as a longer medical text called Recipes for Fifty-Two Ailments.. The Cauterization Canon describes the path of eleven vessels or channels (mai ) inside the body and explains how to perform cauterization to treat the ailments associated with each vessel.
