Pushing the globalization of acupuncture and moxibustion
Time: a September in the 21st century
Location: Downtown Seattle, USA
A blond American pushed open a transparent glass door in the city center, walked inside the door, and sat down familiarly, then took off his shirt and let the acupuncturist pierce him with several shining sticks. Silver needle.
Such a scene, if it happened more than ten or twenty years ago, is guaranteed to make many Americans scream and flee in fright.
But up to now, most Westerners know that acupuncture from the East is a magical human medicine, and acupuncture has been officially included in the medical system in the United States, and even medical insurance has included acupuncture as a benefit item.
How difficult is this "impossible task" to accept the Western medicine system, which is both self-negative and exclusive?
Behind this achievement, there is actually a great figure.
This figure is the master of the International Book of Changes: Master Chen Yikui, who has contributed to China's five thousand years of acupuncture essence study on the world stage.
You can also say that without Master Chen Yikui, the study of acupuncture and moxibustion would not have its place in the world medical stage today.
In 1962, the young Chen Yikui was already a promising rookie in the field of Chinese medicine. At that time, even Taiwanese society generally did not approve of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and recognized it as a technique of the likes of warlocks. However, the young Chen Yikui was not discouraged. Instead, he tried his best to promote the development of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, and went to various parties to open free consultations.
In 1972, Chen Yikui promoted the establishment of the world's first acupuncture and moxibustion center operated by a consortium legal person to provide free consultations to all people. In addition to the hardship in the initial stage, it was also slandered by the Chinese and Western medicine circles from all over Taiwan.
In 1975, Master Chen Yikui was hired by the United States as an acupuncture research consultant at the highest level of the Institute of Basic Medicine in Asia (the Second Institute of the United States Navy), becoming the first Chinese in the world, and so far, he is the only U.S. military as a consultant to the highest research institution, this achievement is still unprecedented.
In 1978, Master Chen Yikui established the Educational Acupuncture Foundation, which was arranged directly by the Education Bureau of the county and city governments across the country, and taught to all teachers under its jurisdiction. The teaching credit is divided into acupuncture education work, and this credit is owned by the Acupuncture Bureau of each state in the United States. Recognize certification.
In the same year, Master Chen Yikui handled the world's first and only Chinese medicine hospital registered as a consortium legal person. This achievement is still unparalleled.
In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the official recognition of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine as part of the international medical system. This decision has been universally recognized in the Chinese world as Master Chen Yikui, because this decision must be made by convention. It is supported by the United States, and the research institutes recognized by the United States have proved that it comes from Master Chen Yikui’s work in promoting acupuncture. The US authorities have also officially authorized the achievement of Master Chen Yikui to promote acupuncture medicine by the Second Research Institute of the US Navy.
In the official record, the academic speech by Master Chen Yikui at the Second Research Institute of the U.S. Navy in 1975 was translated by Mr. Wu Zhenying from the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan. A true record of the contribution of the acupuncture system.
In 1991, Master Chen Yikui made another attack to find the foundation and foundation for alternative therapies including acupuncture and moxibustion. He appointed twelve doctoral-level or above teaching investors to study the mystery between physiology and temperature, and tried to integrate Chinese and Western medical systems. Various folklore alternative therapies, looking for physiological conditions at different temperatures. This research can be completed approximately in 2004, and nearly three million US dollars has been spent on research. This research will compile all the research results into a book, which will be used as a basic medical textbook for the Institute of Alternative Therapies.
In the field of acupuncture and moxibustion around the world, one argument is positive, that is:
"Without the promotion of Master Chen Yikui, the study of acupuncture and moxibustion would not have its current status in the world!"
In a research report once done by the World Health Organization, it was pointed out that among all the alternative therapies in the world, the researchers listed ten alternative medicines that were deemed "the most effective". Among these ten alternative medicines , Acupuncture ranks first. Thanks to the promotion of Master Chen Yikui, this kind of medical wisdom from ancient Chinese civilization has been able to shine in the world.
Now, even Westerners who have never been exposed to Chinese culture in China have heard the reputation of acupuncture and moxibustion more or less. Many people have personally witnessed the amazing effects of acupuncture. This is a very gratifying achievement for Master Chen Yikui, who invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Because of this kind of promotion, letting more people in the world alleviate the pain and get healed when the sickness comes, in fact, it is the thing that Master Chen Yikui is most concerned about.
At present, the knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion also occupies a very important position in the "Blessing Ping" system of Master Chen Yikui. Just like decades ago, it is emitting a warm and peaceful light at this moment, helping all the suffering in the world to solve the most difficult problems in life. Difficulties that are difficult to face.
