Features: Acupuncture and moxibustion are important components of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is an effective means of treating diseases and has been applied in clinical practice as early as the pre-Qin period. Through the clinical practice and theoretical exploration of generations of medical practitioners, by the time the Huangdi Neijing was compiled, acupuncture and moxibustion had taken shape as a discipline. By the Jin Dynasty, with the publication of Huangfu Mi's Zhenjiu Jia Yi Jing as a milestone, acupuncture and moxibustion had developed into a relatively systematic discipline both in theory and practice. At this point, acupuncture and moxibustion as a discipline began to mature. By the mid-20th century, acupuncture and moxibustion had rapidly spread worldwide, laying an important scientific foundation.
