Treatment Types

During the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE), The Classic of Difficulties (Nanjing) further refined techniques. The Jin Dynasty (266–420) saw the first specialized text, The Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (Zhenjiu Jiayijing), compiling 349 acupoints. The Tang Dynasty (618–907) promoted acupuncture in imperial medical schools, while the Song Dynasty (960–1279) introduced bronze statues for standardized training.  

In the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), The Great Compendium of Acupuncture (Zhenjiu Dacheng) synthesized knowledge, becoming a lasting reference. Despite temporary suppression in the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912), acupuncture persisted in folk medicine.  

The 20th century marked its global spread, especially after Nixon’s 1972 China visit. Recognized by WHO for pain and various conditions, acupuncture was inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010. Today, it blends ancient wisdom with modern science, remaining a vital healing practice worldwide.
