very basic understanding of the system. It is meant to serve
as a starting point to all those who, like myself, are new to the
system, and from this point, would like to search for further
study resources.

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
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 Master Tung is sometimes

called Master Dong. The
Dong? 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
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.”

15
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, DÒNGQÌ) 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
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.
20
How long should the needles stay in?

According to the Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu (黃帝內經靈樞,
HUÁNGDÌNÈIJĪNG 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
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
There is a numbering
convention created for non-
Chinese speakers which helps
locating the area in which the
point is. The sequence is related ZONE 11 Fingers
to the order in which the points
were presented in Tung’s Dorsum and palm
ZONE 22 of the hands
original 1973 book, “Tung’s
Regular Meridian and Points”.
ZONE 33 Forearms
Zone 1 is the fingers, zone 2 is
the dorsum and palm of the ZONE 44 Upper arms
hands, zone 3 is the forearms,
and so on. ZONE 55 Plant of the feet
Traditionally, when the points ZONE 66 Dorsum of the feet

numbers are setup, the zone
number is “doubled”. This
ZONE 77 Legs
means that zone 1 becomes
11 (not ‘eleven’, but ‘one-one’),
zone 2 becomes 22 (two-two), ZONE 88 Thighs
all the way to zone 1010 (ten-
ten). ZONE 99 Ears
For example, point DÀ BÁI (大白) ZONE 1010 Head

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.
