章节摘录

插图：In the ancient classic medical book the Yellow Emperor'sInternal Classic, which was published during the Spring andAutumn and Warring States periods （770-221 B.C.）, there aredescriptions of the use of meridians and acupoints of the handto diagnose and treat diseases. This shows that hand therapy isat least more than 2,000 years old. Along with the increase of clinical practice and the accumu-lation of medical knowledge, and especially with the devel-opment of acupuncture, tuina （traditional Chinese massage）,qigong and the use of medicinal herbs, the contents of handtherapy have greatly been enriched and expanded. The theoretical basis of hand therapy is the meridian theory.Together with meridian theory and acupuncture practice, thefunctions of meridians and regular, extra, and special acupointsof the hand have been summarized and discussed in Chinesemedical literature throughout different historical eras. Themodern homographic theory of biology also substantiates thetheories of hand therapy. The development of tuina has also added to the contents ofhand massage. In the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, theearliest tools of Chinese massage, such as round-tip needles andspoon needles, were first mentioned. The first book on tuina waspublished in the Qin and Han dynasties （221 B.C.-A.D. 220）2,000 years ago. Since then, tuina has had a continuous devel-ooment and has been soread to Jaoan. Korea. and India.
