An Introduction to Dong Shi Qi Xue​
Dong Jingchang (1916–1975), originally from Shandong and a renowned acupuncturist in Taiwan, was the founder of Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints.
In his early years, Dong Jingchang served in the military and retreated to Taiwan with the Nationalist government. In Taiwan, he taught his family's unique acupuncture techniques, which became known as Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints because the points he utilized were not found within the traditional meridians recorded in the classical Internal Canon. His approach formed a unique system of meridians, distinct from the traditional fourteen meridian paths. His acupuncture point combinations were notably concise and particularly effective in bloodletting therapy, earning him a significant following and a prestigious reputation in Taiwan's traditional Chinese medicine community.
However, Dong did not oppose traditional techniques; he often encouraged his disciples to learn the conventional fourteen-meridian acupuncture methods. He frequently praised the renowned traditional doctor Sun Peirong from Taiwan and effectively combined the traditional meridian points with his extraordinary points in clinical practice, achieving remarkable results.
Dr. Dong Jingchang, who started his acupuncture practice in Shandong, his native place, in 1939, was deeply committed to serving his community, often disregarding the fees for his medical consultations. Amid the turmoil of the Sino-Japanese War, he enlisted in the military to serve his nation, returning post-war to continue his practice. With the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, he was conscripted once more, leading him to relocate to Taiwan. By 1953, after retiring from the military, he established a clinic in Taipei, where he made significant contributions to saving lives. Throughout his over four decades of medical service, he treated more than four hundred thousand individuals. His dedication extended beyond the military, as he frequently conducted free clinics for various communities, benefiting nearly a hundred thousand people and earning him numerous accolades for his humanitarian efforts.
In 1971, Dr. Dong's expertise gained international recognition when he was invited to treat Cambodian President Lon Nol, who had suffered a debilitating stroke. After unsuccessful treatments in the United States and elsewhere, President Lon Nol experienced remarkable improvement following Dr. Dong's acupuncture therapy, regaining mobility that had been lost for months. Dr. Dong's successful treatment led to multiple visits to Cambodia, where he ultimately healed the president, earning high honors and recognitions, including a commendation from President Chiang Kai-shek, making him a celebrated figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine globally.
Dong Shi Qi Xue adopt the principles of modern holography, which posits that every fragment of a hologram contains the entirety of the photographed information. For instance, the human palm can be positioned to resemble a flat model of a fetus, where the corresponding internal organs of the fetus align with the actual locations of the human internal organs. Therefore, by administering acupuncture on the areas of the palm that correspond to the internal organs, diseases affecting the body's internal organs can be treated. Similarly, the human ear's auricle resembles the shape of an inverted fetus in the womb, with the earlobe representing the head pointing downward and the upper part representing the buttocks. Hence, in traditional Chinese medicine, there's an auricular map where any body part can be correlated to a specific point on the ear; the distribution of auricular points follows a certain pattern known as the "biological holographic law." This theory suggests that every part of the human body can be subdivided into a microcosm of the entire body. Within this microcosm, each small area represents different body parts, and acupuncture can be applied to these corresponding areas to treat related ailments.
