History of acupuncture development;

Acupuncture originated in China and has a long history. Legend has it that acupuncture originated in the period of three emperors and five emperors. It is said that Fuxi invented acupuncture, and he "tasted hundreds of medicines and made nine needles" (recorded in the Imperial Century by Huangfu Mi, a physician in the Western Jin Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms). According to the ancient documents "Shan Hai Jing" and "Neijing", it is recorded that carbuncle was punctured by a stone hairpin. Mencius said, "Seven years of illness, three years of love", and according to the historical relics dug up all over China today.

The origin of "acupuncture therapy" was in the Stone Age. At that time, when people suffered some pain or discomfort, they would unconsciously massage and pat with their hands, and even press the painful and uncomfortable parts with sharp stone tools. Bian Shi, the earliest needle tool, appeared. With the continuous development of ancient wisdom and social productivity, needles have gradually developed into bronze needles, iron needles, gold needles, silver needles and stainless steel needles used today.
