Pictured overlooking Tianamen Square is Hwang-Fu Mi, prominent and authoritative acupuncturist of the 3rd century. Up until the time of the publishing of his book, the art of acupuncture was handed down from masters to pupils or fathers to sons only orally and more or less secretly.
It is to Hwang-Fu Mi that Acupuncture.com is dedicated, and it is in this image that his picture appears, as a way of honoring the man who could be considered Chinese Medicine's patron saint of mass communication.
