Acupuncture is an ancient and miraculous science. As early as the 6th century AD, acupuncture began to spread abroad. At present, in Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America and so on there have been more than 120 countries and regions applying acupuncture for their own people to cure the disease, many countries have also set up acupuncture academic societies, acupuncture educational institutions and research institutes, the famous University of Paris School of Medicine on the opening of acupuncture classes.

Two and a half thousand years ago, China gave birth to the first medical masterpiece, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (HUNDI), in which an important concept runs through the entire book, that is, meridians. Meridian is a general term for meridians and veins, the ancients found that the human body has a number of longitudinal routes throughout the body, called meridians; and found that there are some branches on these major trunk lines, and there are smaller branches on the branches, the ancients said that these branches for the veins, the "veins" is the concept of the structure of the umbrella.

With the development of smelting technology, people made metal needles, called microneedles, and used them to treat the meridians. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is divided into two books, one of which is called the Ling Shu Jing, also known as the Needle Jing, a work devoted to the treatment of meridians with microneedles. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine systematically summarizes the meridians and adds new concepts to the meridians, such as collateral veins, meridians, meridian tendons, skin, and odd meridians, which ****together comprise the meridian system, making it the most important physiological structure of the human body in the minds of the ancients. Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine also explains the functions of the meridians, namely, the operation of qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, moistening the tendons and bones, slippery joints, contacting the internal organs and the surface and up and down, as well as the transmission of diseases and evils, and so on. The Huangdi Neijing's understanding of the meridian system and its function mainly comes from long-term clinical observation, but also contains some results of reasoning and analysis and the description of analogies.
