MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

About this bookThis 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.

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

Page 15: Master Tung

15

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

Tung or Dong?

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 (五五五行, 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).

Master Tung is sometimes

called Master Dong. The

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

Page 19: Master Tung

19

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

• 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.

“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.”

HolographicTheory

Page 28: Master Tung

28

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

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 AcupuntureTechniques

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..

Page 33: Master Tung

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.

Zones DistributionThere is a numbering convention created for non-Chinese speakers which helps locating the area in which the point is. The sequence is related to the order in which the points were presented in Tung’s original 1973 book, “Tung’s Regular Meridian and Points”.

Zone 1 is the fingers, zone 2 is the dorsum and palm of the hands, zone 3 is the forearms, and so on.

Traditionally, when the points numbers are setup, the zone number is “doubled”. This means that zone 1 becomes 11 (not ‘eleven’, but ‘one-one’), zone 2 becomes 22 (two-two), all the way to zone 1010 (ten-ten).

For example, point DÀ BÁI (大白) is numbered 22.04, meaning it is the fourth point on the hand. Point HUǑ YǏNG五 (五五火主) is 66.03, the third point on the dorsum of the foot.
