My master is always in my mind


The mountain is so lofty, it is hard to look up to
its height.
The noble virtue is so upright and pure that it
is hard to imitate.
Although I cannot reach these realms, in my
heart there is always hope of attaining them.

My master gave me his book with his


signature in August 1973

How did Master Tung think of the


development of Chinese Acupuncture
As far back as BC2800, Acupuncture already had had its origin in
China.
It was recorded in the Annals of Chinese Emperors that Fu Hsi
(BC2852) had drawn a Sign of "Pa Kua" [, Ba Gua (eight trigrams)] (a kind of Chinese astronomical zodiac system).
And in the following Dynasties, others had theorized and
classified the symptoms and pathologies of all diseases caused
by the variations of "six energies"[ six qi], "six bowels"[
six fu], "five internal glands"[five zang], "five basic factors" [
five element], "Yin" and "Yang" (negative & positive), "four
seasons"[], "water" and "fire" etc. In relation to human mild or
critical ailments. In addition to that, Shen Nung had (BC2737)
orally tested and classified all herbs, and was the first Chinese to
institute a system of Acupuncture.

-- Tung, 1973 En , Preface

How did Master Tung think of the


development of Chinese Acupuncture
In view of such developments, the theorization of Acupuncture
must have developed some inter-relationship with the school of
the Toist thinking [Doaism].
In the very beginning starting from Warring Times of Chou
Dynasty [East Zhou Dynasty] (BC 772-221), There was Ch'in
Yueh Jen[ Qin Yue Ren].
And there also existed Hua T'o[ Hua Tuo] (AD141-203) and
many others at the close of Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220)
who practiced the craft of Acupuncture and thereby set a
standard of Acupuncture for the posterity. Acupuncture gradually
reached the point of advanced development during the periods
from Sung[Song] to Ming Dynasties.

How did Master Tung think of the


development of Chinese Acupuncture
In the time of Emperor Jen Tsung [Ren Zong] of Sung
[Song] Dynasty( (AD 1023-1056), the "Stone
Tablet of 14 Meridian points" and the "T'ien Sheng
Bronze Figure" [Tian Sheng Bronze Figure, AD 1029]
were created, which later on became a fundamental
requirement in the then medical circles.
Judging from the implementation of such measure, it
seems to consider the art of Acupuncture before that
period "could have been primitive, incomplete and
possibly misinterpreted.
could have been scattered and lost or lost in
transmission.

Tung's Acupuncture was lost in ancient time &


was rebuilt by Master Tung

It is very sad that the original Tungs


acupuncture textbook was destroyed during
war in my ancestors era.
Fortunately I have memorized the SECRET
Key (Yao Jue) that was passed down in my
family by oral tradition.
After I practiced more than 300,000 clinical
cases, the effectiveness of Tung's
Acupuncture is confirmed completely.

Tung's Acupuncture has its own origin


and its own traditions
The channel system is different from 14
channels system.
The location of Tungs points are different from
the 365 points of traditional acupuncture.
It focuses on the acupuncture more than the
moxibustion. The technique of Tungs
acupuncture is very simple and very effective.
A lot of difficult diseases were cured very
quickly by my familys system of acupuncture.

--Tung,1973 textbook, Preface

Tung's Acupuncture is different from


Traditional 14 Channels Acupuncture
Tung's acupuncture has its own system: Each unique
point can connects to five zang, six fu or six
extraordinary fu directly.
Not channel pulse diagnostic disease ()
Not channel route disease() ( "Ling Shu, chap.10,

Five Zang Chart in 1973 textbook preface


Master Tung indicated that the "Tian Sheng
Bronze Figure" (AD 1029) and the "Five Zang
Chart" (AD 1048) strongly influence the
development of Chinese acupuncture.
Master Tung also indicated "Tian Sheng Bronze
Figure" standardize the 14 channels and 365
acupuncture points.

Master Tung did not have more words.

May 2008, I had chance to visit Mr.


Yuan Guo-Ben who is the assistant
editor of 1973 Tungs Acupuncture
textbook.
I asked: Did the heart, liver, lung,
kidney, spleen nerve under the
anatomy of textbook present the
Tungs Regular Channels? Mr. Yuan
did not reply my question, he only
showed me Ching-Changs

which recorded by Dr. CHEN DuRen around 1964.

Dr. Chen was a very famous


TCM doctor and published many
excellent experienced TCM
books before he became Master
Tungs disciple in 1964. And his
