that has made Traditional Chinese Medicine famous both domestically and internationally
How miraculous is it?
This episode of “China Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference”
invites you to appreciate the “great wisdom in small needles”
Self-taught in medicine after a stroke
he wrote the foundational work on acupuncture
The “Huangfu Mi’s Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion” from the Jin Dynasty
is known as the “father of acupuncture”
Its author, Huangfu Mi,
was originally a historian
but after suffering a stroke at the age of 42,
he began to self-study medicine
He read medical books extensively and experimented on himself
ultimately becoming a master of acupuncture
By the 6th century,
acupuncture had already begun
a long-lasting global dissemination
Currently, acupuncture is
one of the most popular techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine overseas
The program invited two foreign students studying Traditional Chinese Medicine
from Germany and Indonesia
One of them can even speak fluent Henan dialect
△ The German student speaks Henan dialect very “authentically” (CCTV Video Account: China Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference)
The two challenged themselves on site
to correctly identify
at least 30 acupuncture points
within 120 seconds
which is equivalent to identifying one acupuncture point in less than 4 seconds
Will they succeed in the challenge?
Press this acupuncture point!

“Fen Ceng Duo Xiang”
“Fire Needle” and other unique skills
Modern “Moxibustion Masters”
bring new brilliance to traditional techniques
Having discussed “needles,”
let’s talk about “moxibustion”
In 1900, the “Moxibustion Classic”
was unearthed in Dunhuang
which is one of the earliest records of moxibustion in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Ancient people discovered through practice
that warm stimulation has good therapeutic effects on some ailments
and gradually formed a warm treatment method based on burning mugwort
— moxibustion
As early as before the Tang Dynasty,
moxibustion was already very popular
and there was even a specialized profession
called “Moxibustion Master”
One of the most famous calligraphic works by Ouyang Xiu,
one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties,
is called “Zhuo Ai Tie”
However, by the end of the last century,
the moxibustion method of Traditional Chinese Medicine
which had been passed down for thousands of years
was used by fewer and fewer people
Professor Chen Rixin from Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
discovered this phenomenon
and thus conducted
an 18-year clinical study
ultimately establishing the “Heat-sensitive Moxibustion” technique
△ Research experts discuss the development story of “Heat-sensitive Moxibustion” (CCTV Video Account: China Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference)
So far, acupuncture has spread to
196 countries and regions worldwide
In 2010, “Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture” was included in
the “Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”
A national treasure and the essence of medicine,
acupuncture is truly deserving of its reputation
