Acupuncture and moxibustion medicine was first described in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine more than 2,000 years ago. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says, “When the disease is full of hidden cold, moxibustion is the appropriate treatment”, referring to the art of moxibustion, which describes in detail the form of the nine needles and extensively describes the theory and techniques of acupuncture. For more than 2,000 years, acupuncture has been popular in China and has spread to the world. The appearance of acupuncture, on the other hand, is even earlier. In ancient times, when people were hit by some sharp and hard objects, such as stones and thorns, they would experience unexpected pain relief. Ancient people began to consciously use some sharp stones to prick certain parts of the body or artificially pierce the body to make it bleed in order to relieve pain. The original tool for needling was mentioned several times in ancient books as a stone needle, called acupuncture stone. This stone appeared about 8000 to 4000 years ago in the Neolithic period, equivalent to the late clan communal system, people have mastered the digging, grinding technology, to produce some more delicate, suitable for piercing the body to treat disease stone tools, this stone tool is the oldest medical tools stone. People use “stone” to pierce into a part of the body to treat disease. The stone was more commonly used in surgery for septic infection, so it was also called needle stone or stone. The “Shanhaijing” says: “There is a stone like jade that can be used as a needle”, which is an early record of stone needles. In China, the stone has been found in archaeology. It can be said that the stone is the basis and predecessor of the later knife and needle tools. Moxibustion arose after the discovery and use of fire. In the process of using fire, people found that the pain of a part of the body by fire burning, baking and to relieve or release, and then learn to use animal skin or bark wrapped hot stones, sand for local heat ironing, and gradually developed to ignite branches or dry grass baking to treat disease. After a long period of exploration, the moxa leaf, which is easy to burn and has the effect of warming the meridians, was chosen as the main material for moxibustion treatment, and was used for local warming stimulation on the body surface, thus making moxibustion, like acupuncture, an important method of disease prevention and treatment. Because of its easy burning, aromatic smell, abundant resources and easy processing and storage, moxa became the most important raw material for moxibustion. “This is the predecessor of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. Acupuncture originated in China and has a long history. According to legend, acupuncture originated from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Fuxi invented acupuncture and moxibustion, and he “tasted a hundred medicines and made nine needles” (Huang Fu Qu, a medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in “The Century of Emperors and Kings”). According to the ancient literature “Shanhaijing” and “Neijing”, there is a record of “Shi]” piercing canker sores, and “Yu Zi”: “seven years of illness, seek three years of moxa”, and according to the historical relics excavated in recent years, it is proved that “acupuncture therapy” is the most important method of treatment. The origin of “acupuncture therapy” is in the Stone Age. At that time, when people have certain diseases or discomfort, unconsciously massage with their hands, pounding, and even use sharp stone tools to press the painful parts of the discomfort, and make the original symptoms alleviate or disappear, the earliest needle tool: acupuncture stone was also born, with the wisdom of the ancients and the continuous development of social productivity, needle tools gradually developed into bronze needles, iron needles, gold needles, silver needles, until the stainless steel needles used now. According to legend, Fuxi, the founder of Chinese civilization, was the inventor of acupuncture in Chinese medicine. Fuxi not only drew the eight trigrams, knotted the rope for the net, and taught the people to hunt, but also “tasted a hundred medicines and made nine needles” (Huangfu Qu in the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded in “The Century of Emperors and Kings”), and “tasted grass and made acupuncture” (Luo Ju in the Southern Song Dynasty recorded in “Road History”). The acupuncture is the acupuncture stone, that is, the earliest acupuncture of the Chinese nation. The origin of moxibustion method is closely related to the discovery and use of for, when the body has some kind of discomfort, used to go to bake to be alleviated, and then use a variety of branches as moxibustion tools, gradually developed to moxibustion. In 1973, the medical silk book unearthed in Mawangdui Tomb No. 3 in Changsha contains the “Moxibustion Classic of the Eleven Veins of the Foot and Arm” and “Moxibustion Classic of the Eleven Veins of Yin and Yang”, which discusses the distribution of the eleven veins, the manifestations of diseases and the treatment of moxibustion, forming a complete meridian system. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine is the earliest and complete Chinese medical classic among the extant Chinese medical literature, which has formed a complete meridian system, i.e., there are twelve meridians, fifteen meridians, twelve meridians, twelve tendons, twelve meridians, as well as the specimens, root nodes, qi streets, and four seas related to the meridian system, etc. The acupoints, acupuncture methods, indications and contraindications of acupuncture are also discussed in detail, especially the acupuncture recorded in the Ling Shu Jing The Ling Shu Jing is the first summary of acupuncture and moxibustion, and its main content is still the core content of acupuncture and moxibustion, so the Ling Shu is called the Jing of needles. Following the Nei Jing, the doctrine of acupuncture and moxibustion was supplemented and improved by the Nang Jing written by the divine physician Bian Magi in the Warring States period. Huang Fu Qu, a medical doctor of the Jin Dynasty, studied the Nei Jing and other works and wrote the book “Acupuncture and Moxibustion A & B”, which comprehensively discussed the doctrine of internal organs and meridians, developed and identified 349 acupuncture points and discussed their location, main treatment and operation, and introduced acupuncture methods and treatment of common diseases, which was the second summary of acupuncture and moxibustion academic. During the Tang and Song dynasties, with the economic and cultural prosperity, acupuncture and moxibustion also developed greatly. In his book “The Essential Formula of the Thousands of Gold”, Sun Simiao of the Tang dynasty drew a colorful “three-person diagram of Mingtang” and proposed the method and application of the A-Yi point. In the Song Dynasty, the famous acupuncturist Wang Weiyi compiled the “acupuncture points and acupuncture points in bronze”, which proved 354 acupuncture points and engraved the whole book on a stone monument for learners to copy and print, and he also cast two bronze models with meridians and acupuncture points engraved on the outside and internal organs built in, which were used as visual aids for acupuncture teaching and assessment of acupuncturists and promoted the development of acupuncture. In the Yuan Dynasty, the “Fourteen Meridians Play” by Sli Bo Ren, for the first time, combined the twelve meridians with the Ren and Dou meridians as the ten meridians, which was very beneficial to the later study of meridians. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of the academic development of acupuncture and moxibustion, and there were many famous doctors, and theoretical research on acupuncture and moxibustion gradually deepened, and a large number of monographs on acupuncture and moxibustion appeared, such as “The Complete Book of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”, “Acupuncture and Moxibustion Juying”, “Four Books on Acupuncture and Moxibustion”, especially “Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng” by Yang Jizhou, which gathered the acupuncture and moxibustion works before the Ming Dynasty, summarized the clinical experience, and was rich in content. It is the third summary of acupuncture scholarship. Acupuncture is an ancient and magical science. As early as the 6th century AD, Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion began to spread to foreign countries. At present, more than 120 countries and regions in Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America have applied acupuncture to treat their own people, and many countries have established acupuncture academic groups, acupuncture educational institutions and research institutions. In 1980, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) proposed 43 recommended indications for acupuncture treatment, and in 1987, the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (WFA) was formally established in Beijing, establishing acupuncture as the world’s most popular medicine.
