Chong Acupuncture Meridian, An Ancient Chinese Description of the Vascular System? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shaw, V. (2013, December). Chong Acupuncture Meridian, An Ancient Chinese Description of the Vascular System?. Presented at Anatomical Society Winter Meeting 2013: Assessment Within Medical Education & Sense Organs, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

The positioning of the acupuncture points in acupuncture is based upon a particular anatomical map known as the jıng luo經絡(meridian network system) which has no obvious correlate in modern anatomy. The generally accepted scholarly opinion is that t... Read More about Chong Acupuncture Meridian, An Ancient Chinese Description of the Vascular System?.
