Dr Wei-Chieh Young's Book - Illustrated Tungs Acupuncture Points
About Tung's Acupuncture - Who is Master Tung?
Master Tung Ching Chang has been referred to as The Greatest Acupuncture Master who ever lived. He was born in the Shangdong Province in Northern China. When China was occupied by communists, he moved to Taiwan with Chang Kai-shek's army and settled in Taipei. He was a traditional Chinese physician famous for the miraculous and spontaneous results he would obtain by using few needles. The acupuncture points and techniques he used are unique while in accord to orthodox acupuncture. In most cases, the patient notices instant relief upon insertion of the needle. From 1953-1975, there were over 40,000 patient visits in his clinic.
Master Tung's Points were a treasured family secret, handed down and refined over generations. Master Tung was benevolent that he aimed at mass patients' benefits and decided to reveal his secret acupuncture system. He was the first one to break his family tradition and began to teach his acupuncture system to outsiders. He selected all his students, 73 of them, without any charge. He even offer boarding for those students if in need. Dr. Young, Wei-Chieh is one of the 73 students.
Master Tung was a quiet person. He didn't talk much. Many times he would respond to students' questions as "observe and think for yourself". This way of teaching allowed Dr. Young to think freely and forced him to study hard and develop his own theories. Dr. Young was an intelligent and diligent student of Master Tung's. In 1971, he developed a powerful and effective technique named "Chien-Yin (Pulling & Guiding) Needling Technique". This technique is one of the so-called "3 Major Needling Techniques in Master Tung's Acupuncture". The other two are "Dong Qi (Activate Qi)" and "Dao Ma (Serial Needles)". In 1973, Dr. Young developed "Zhang-Fu Bei tong (Organ Divergent Communications) theory", originating the idea from Nei Jing. This theory is one of the theories Dr. Young applied to explain Master Tung's Acupuncture. In 1975, Dr. Young published "Zhen Jiao Jing Wei" (The Longitude and Latitude of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), the first book ever documenting Master Tung's points with expanded theories and clinical experiences. Master Tung highly commended the work and gave his encouragement.
The same year, Master Tung passed away. But his lifework is not ended. He left behind his point book and his legacy. Dr. Young continues the journey of dedicating in honoring, broadening and heightening Traditional Chinese Medicine and Master Tung's Acupuncture. The theories developed and expanded by Dr. Young and his clinical experience he shared complete the Master Tung's Acupuncture system. In the past 30 years, every day he follows the conduct as "practice in the day time, study and research at night time". He doesn't hold his findings privately. By books, journal articles, and seminars, he has been sharing his valuable discoveries without concealment.
With Dr. Young's efforts, the powerful effect and value of Master Tung's Acupuncture is affirmed. It's now very popular worldwide, especially in Taiwan, China, Korea and US. It has also become must-learn acupuncture knowledge. In China, Master Tung's Acupuncture is a requirement for continuing education.
