LÌ GĀN JIÀN YǏNG (立竿見影) is a Chinese expression that is

very appropriate for Tung’s Acupuncture. It can be translated as “Stand a pole under the Sun and immediately see its shadow”. In other words, you should get “immediate results”. That’s how acupuncture should work.

Who was Master Tung?

Master Tung Ching–Chang (董景昌大師, DǑNG JǏNG CHĀNG DÀSHĪ) was born in 1915 in the Shandong (山東, SHĀNDŌNG) Province in Northern China. The Tung’s family orthodox acupuncture is based on many generations of Tung’s family teachings. Tung’s Acupuncture was a secret tradition, exclusively passed down within the family. Master Tung Ching-Chang broke this tradition and accepted his first disciple outside the family, over 50 years ago. There are hundreds of Tung’s unique acupuncture points distributed mostly on the extremities of the body. Tung’s acupuncture is well known for its unique set of points, being a complete system that includes its own channels, unique points and needling techniques. Tung’s acupuncture is based

8

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

on a five zang (and six fu) channel system, different from the traditional 14 channels of acupuncture. And also, Tung’s acupuncture is a complete acupuncture tradition that predates the traditional 14 channels system. The origin and principle of each of Master Tung’s points follow the law of the five elements (五行五行, WǓ​ XÍNG) and the five zang (五 脏, WǓ​ ZÀNG) channels. Each point has its own pathway which directly connects to the five zang and six fu.

Tung or Dong?

Master Tung is sometimes called Master Dong. The reason for this is because Master Tung originally took the Wade-Giles romanization system of his surname “董”, Tung, before the pinyin (拼 音, PĪNYĪN) system became popular. Though pinyin is the prefered romanization system now, many people prefer to use Tung as the name was originally translated and also as Master Tung himself preferred.

Principles

10

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

Tung’s Acupuncture

Principles

• Local areas never needled. • Fewer needles. • Distal treatment – the most distal the better. • Contralateral needling for pain or structural problems. For chronic conditions, bilateral. • Bilateral needling for treating organ systems. Tung style acupuncture does not need the use of the diagnostic methods (pulse, tongue etc.) or terminology adopted by the TCM acupuncture. Tung’s acupuncture is very safe since most of its points are located on the body’s extremities. If the patient has a defiiciency, energy will be pushed toward it. In case of an excess, energy will be pulled from it. Needles are never inserted at the site of pain or injury.

“Man corresponds with nature: In heaven, there are Yin and Yang; in man, there are 12 large joints of the limbs,” “When one understands the principles of the 12 joints, a sage will never surpass him.” “Diverse pricking to the right side or to the left, contralateral insertion of pricking the upper part to cure the lower disease, and pricking the left side to cure the right.”

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

Holographic Theory The word “holographic” comes from the Greek “holographos” (literally “written in full,” from holos “whole” + graphos “written”). The Holographic Theory in acupuncture states that a small part of the body can treat larger areas of the body. Ear and abdominal acupuncture, Korean hand acupuncture (Koryo Sooji Chim) are examples of holographic systems, since they can treat the whole body. An important example of holography in Tung’s acupuncture is the second metacarpal bone. There are four points on the lateral side of the bone that can treat a large area of the body. LÍNG GǓ (靈骨) and DÀ BÁI (大白), two very commonly used points, are among those. In Tung’s acupuncture there are many other examples, such as the set of points 88.17 (駟馬中, SÌ MǍ ZHŌNG), 88.18 (駟馬上, SÌ MǍ SHÀNG) and 88.19 (駟馬下, SÌ MǍ XIÀ) which can also be used to treat a larger area of the body.

Tung’s Acupuncture

Techniques

Qi moving (動氣, DÒNG​QÌ) technique When inserting a needle to treat an injured area, always ask the patient to move that area, or do it for him if he is unable to do so. For example, if the patient has TMJ pain (Temporomandibular Joint), the point 66.03 (火硬, HUǑ YǏNG) can be used. By the way, here is an example of “feet treating head” or “bottom treating top”. So, when you needle the point, ask the patient to move his jaw. This way, the body will know what you are trying to accomplish and the Qi will be directed to the affected area..

19

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

Dao Ma (倒馬, DÀO MǍ) technique The Dao Ma (倒馬, DÀO MǍ), translated as ‘inverted horse’, technique uses two or three points combined, most commonly arranged in a vertical line or along a channel, to increase needle stimulation. These points are located relatively close to each other, usually no more than two or three cun apart. On the hands and fingers, these points are usually closer, less than one cun apart, sometimes a few fen apart. In fact many of Tung’s unique points are arranged in two or three point sets, meaning that these Dao Ma groups are always needled in combination rather than as single points. The goal is to achieve more effective and immediate results when needling points distal to the area of disease. For example, the points 22.04 (大白, DÀ BÁI) and 22.05 (靈骨, LÍNG GǓ) are a very common Dao Ma combination. They are always needled together.

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

How long should the needles stay in? According to the Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu (黃帝內經靈樞, HUÁNG​DÌ​NÈI​JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ), the energies Wei Qi (衛氣, WÈI QÌ) and Ying Qi (營氣, YÍNG QÌ), cycle 50 times through the body during a 1-day period. Considering that 1 day has 24 hours (1440 minutes), each energy cycle takes approximately 28 minutes to complete. So, after the last needle is inserted, in general, they should be left in for at least 30 minutes. 30–45 minutes is an adequate period of time. It is important to note that the retention of the needles also depend on personal (strong/weak, young/old), disease (deep/superficial. chronic/acute), seasonal (warm/cold, morning/evening) conditions and individual point properties.

Tissue Type Correspondence There are five types of Tissue Correspondence in the Huang Di Nei Jing. These relationships are part of the holographic theory: • In diseases of the bones, treat bones: needle close to a joint or the junction of multiple bones in order to treat joint or bone issues. For example, point 66.04 (火主, HUǑ ZHǓ), is needled close to the joint to treat knee pain. • In diseases of the muscles and tendons, treat muscles and tendons: Points 77.01 (正筋, ZHÈNG JĪN) and 77.02 (正宗, ZHÈNG ZŌNG) are located on the achilles tendon and in imaging and holography

21

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

are therefore used to treat lumbar sprain and neck muscle stiffness. • In diseases of the vessels, treat vessels: Points 44.08 (人宗, RÉN ZŌNG), 44.09 (地宗, DÌ ZŌNG) and 44.10 (天宗, TIĀN ZŌNG) – not present in this edition – are located near the radial artery. They can treat disorders of the Heart, atherosclerosis, and blood circulation issues. • In diseases of the flesh, treat flesh: In this correspondence, needle in locations of abundant flesh, such as in the upper thigh, where the points 88.17 (駟馬中, SÌ MǍ ZHŌNG), 88.18 (駟馬上, SÌ MǍ SHÀNG) and 88.19 (駟馬下, SÌ MǍ XIÀ) are located. These points can be used to treat flesh problems in the body, such as atrophy, flank pain, upper back pain etc. • In diseases of the skin, treat skin: Here, you can needle very superficially. This can be used to treat neuropathy, dermatitis and loss of hair. By needling superficially, it only affects the skin level and not the muscle or flesh levels. In five-element theory, treating the flesh level can be used to generate metal (related to the lungs) and influence the skin level as well.

Zones Distribution

23

STUDY NOTES ON MASTER TUNG'S ACUPUNCTURE

Zones Distribution There is a numbering convention created for nonChinese speakers which helps locating the area in which the point is. The sequence is related to the order in which the points were presented in Tung’s original 1973 book, “Tung’s Regular Meridian and Points”. Zone 1 is the fingers, zone 2 is the dorsum and palm of the hands, zone 3 is the forearms, and so on. Traditionally, when the points numbers are setup, the zone number is “doubled”. This means that zone 1 becomes 11 (not ‘eleven’, but ‘one-one’), zone 2 becomes 22 (two-two), all the way to zone 1010 (tenten). For example, point DÀ BÁI (大白) is numbered 22.04, meaning it is the fourth point on the hand. Point HUǑ YǏNGǔ (火主火主) is 66.03, the third point on the dorsum of the foot.
