Xiuzhen Tu (修真圖) or Xiuzhen Map, is a yet-undated map of the human anatomy explained in the context of Xiuzhen, as a method to approach spiritual transcendence by way of Taoist teachings. Some Taoists believe the Xiuzhen Tu is as old as the Neijing Tu (內經圖) or the Neijing Map from the Huangdi Neijing, attributed to the Yellow Emperor.

One scholar of Taoism attempted to make a précis of this map, albeit only of the anatomical descriptions.^[1]
