The use of gold and silver needles in the treatment of injuries and illnesses in ancient China has a long history, and is said to have developed from the ancient “nine needles” of ~ and long needles. The Chinese ancestors created a system of Chinese medicine, in which acupuncture occupies a relatively unique position.
