While Acupuncture has remained intact for over 4,000 years
(since Huang De, the yellow Emperor), it was outlawed by Emperor Tao-Kuang
in 1884. Those practicing the art of acupuncture were punished. It was not
until Mao Tse Tung's Long March of 1934-35 that acupuncture resurfaced as
an accepted medical practice within the educated people of China. |
