MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

About this book


This book does not have the pretension to be a reference text
on Tung’s Acupuncture, since it’s content is based on my own
studies and very basic understanding of the system.

Very few practitioners know Tung’s acupuncture in Brazil and


since I had my first contact with it, about a year ago, it has really
impressed me.

This book is being published in english first, since the english


speaking community is much more active and numerous
than the portuguese speaking community, and this way, a
lot of people, much more experienced than me, can help a
lot this ongoing project. Soon after this book is published in
english, it will be translated into portuguese. My ultimate goal
is to humbly contribute to the community and help propagate
Tung’s acupuncture in Brazil.

These “Top 30” points were not randomly chosen. I’ve used
some of them in my daily practice and also, as a matter of fact,
all 30 points are based on an online seminar by Dr. Chuan-Min
Wang, who was a direct disciple of Master Tung.

There are many, many other great points in Tung’s Acupunture,


but I had to narrow them down to only 30. My next project will
be a Top 50 or Top 60 Tung’s points book.

This book is free. This way, I hope I can help motivate people
to start learning and using the system.

Everyone can download, share, copy and redistribute the

LÌ GĀN JIÀN YǏNG (立竿見影) is an expression that was used


very often by Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan and is very appropriate
in Tung’s Acupuncture as well. It can be translated as “Stand a
pole under the Sun and immediately see its shadow”. In other
words, “Immediate results”. That’s how acupuncture should
work, that’s how Dr. Tan’s Balance Method works and that’s
how Tung’s Acupuncture also works!

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

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 over 400 Tung’s unique acupuncture points


distributed mostly on the extremities of the body. Tung’s
acupuncture is well known for it’s unique set of points, being
a complete system that includes its own channels, unique
points, diagnostic methods and needling techniques. Tung’s

14
MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

acupuncture is based on a five zang (and six fu) channel


system that is unique to it, and 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 that Master


Tung originally took the
Wade-Giles romanization
system of his surname “董”
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

17
Page intentionally left blank
MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

Tung’s Acupunture
Principles

• Local areas never needled.

• Fewer needles.

• Distal treatment – the most distal the better.

• Contralateral needling for pain or structural problems. For


chronical 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.

“When one understands the principles of the 12 joints, a

Holographic
Theory

27
MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

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 acupucture, Korean hand acupuncture (Koryo


Sooji Chim) are examples of holographic systems, since they can
treat the whole body.

An importante 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.

Techniques

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

Tung’s Acupunture
Techniques

Qi moving technique
When inserting a needle to treat an injured area, 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..

32
MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

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.

Distribution

35
MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

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.
