Face Reading is one of the most ancient tools used for diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. Because palpation of the body was not a common practice, especially when treating women, the face became one of the easiest places to access the signs of internal organ function.<br/><br/> In the oldest manuscript of acupuncture ever discovered so far, Dr. Paul Unschuld of Germany found that the first page of this manuscript was a facial map containing 150 age positions while the second page was a diagram of the facial meridians. This same facial map is still in use today and is used to find the ages when trauma occurred that still affects current psychological and physical health. This map can best be described as a topographical representation of life experience.
Huangfu Mi was a Chinese scholar and physician during the late Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Jin Dynasty period of Chinese history. He was born into a poor farming family in present-day Gansu province. Between 256 and 260, toward the end of the state of Cao Wei, he compiled the' Canon of Acupuncture and Moxibustion' (Pinyin: Zhēnjiŭ jiăyĭ jīng; Wade–Giles: Chen-chiu chia-i ching), a collection of various texts on acupuncture written in earlier periods.<br/><br/> This book in 12 volumes further divided into 128 chapters was one of the earliest systematic works on acupuncture and moxibustion, and it proved to be one of the most influential. Huangfu Mi also compiled 10 books in a series called 'Records of Emperors and Kings'.
Acupuncture (from Latin, 'acus' (needle) + 'punctura' (to puncture) is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or the application of heat, pressure, or laser light.<br/><br/> Clinical practice varies depending on the country. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, and cupping therapy. It is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).<br/><br/> According to TCM, stimulating specific acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of 'qi' through channels known as meridians. Acupuncture aims to treat a range of conditions, though is most commonly used for pain relief. It is rarely used alone but rather as an adjunct to other treatment modalities.
Ferghana horses were one of China's earliest major imports, originating in an area in Central Asia.<br/><br/> Dayuan, north of Bactria, was a nation centered in the Ferghana Valley of present-day Central Asia, and even as early as the Han Dynasty, China projected its military power to that area.<br/><br/> The Han imperial regime required Ferghana horses and imported such great numbers of them that the rulers of Ferghana closed their borders to such trade. That move resulted in a war that China won. In 102 CE, the Chinese required of the defeated Ferghana that they provide at least 10 of their finest horses for breeding purposes, and 3,000 Ferghana horses of ordinary quality.
