Historical Evolution of Acupoint Acupuncture in Dongshi

Mr. Dong Gong Jingchang (19 16- 1975), a native of pingdu city, Shandong Province, started from his ancestors to save people with acupuncture, and his family was well-off. /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he opened an acupuncture clinic in his hometown to serve mulberries, excluding consultation fees. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he left his hometown to join the army, returned to his hometown after his victory, and then opened an acupuncture clinic in Qingdao. A few years later, he rejoined the army and arrived in Taiwan Province Province with the troops.

1953, he was allowed to leave the army and settle in Taipei because of the recurrence of his old illness, and returned to his old job and volunteered to treat his military colleagues. Dong Shi has been in the army for thirteen years. Every time the army is empty, he treats his compatriots with his own eyes. In the past 30 years, he has treated nearly 400,000 patients, that is, more than100,000 people have registered. Dong Shi's acupuncture method is different from orthodoxy, especially in acupoint selection, which has become a school of acupuncture and moxibustion, and is highly respected by acupuncture scholars.

(Excerpted from Li Guozheng's "Taiwan Province Dongshi Acupuncture Acupoints". ) Dong Gong likes horses very much, so many of his acupoint names are related to horses, such as Zuma Xu, Xu Zhima, Ma Jinshui and Ma Kuaishui. Therefore, the name of acupuncture is also related to horses, which is called inverted horse acupuncture. The other horse runs very fast, which means fast, and the name of a horse also means quick-acting. Moreover, this method of inverted horse acupuncture is really "inverted horse", because a horse lacks one foot and the remaining three feet will fall down, so inverted horse means "inverted horse", that is, applying the remaining three feet to acupuncture treatment, which means three-needle acupuncture. Judging from the strange points handed down from Dong Gong, most of them are arranged in groups of three, so we can understand the true meaning of Dong Shiqi's points. This truth is easy to understand. So it can be seen that three needles are the main ones, and the use of two needles is a special case.
