Historical Facts of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine—A Letter to the Editor Re: Magalhães-Sant’Ana, M animals Comment Historical Facts of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine—A Letter to the Editor Re: Magalhães-Sant’Ana, M. Animals 2019, 9, 168 Yusheng Hu and Zhongjie Liu * College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-136-6123-6016 Received: 13 February 2020; Accepted: 25 June 2020; Published: 15 July 2020 Abstract: A recent viewpoint paper by Manuel Magalhães-Sant’Ana (2019) discussed the evidence regarding history, conceptions and modern research related to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Acupuncture (TCVA). Based on the observation of an illustration of nine needles, the author suggested that the needles used in acupuncture are more like lancets than needles in ancient times; to support the view that acupuncture is analogous to bloodletting. In addition; the author does not believe that TCVA has not been practiced for thousands of years. This letter documents that the prototype of the modern filiform acupuncture needle has appeared as early as the Han Dynasty and that modern needles did not evolve from lancets. In addition, there is proof based on existing ancient books that TCVA has a history of thousands of years. Keywords: traditional Chinese veterinary medicine; acupuncture; bloodletting; history Dear Editor, Manuel Magalhães-Sant’Ana in his critique of Traditional Chinese VeterinaryAcupuncture (TCVA), discussed the evidence regarding history, conceptions and modern research related to TCVA. With the so-called “epistemological approach”, he asserted that the TCVA is analogous to bloodletting [1]. Based on our basic knowledge and acupuncture clinical experience, we believe that the author’s interpretation of the TCVA historical evidences is incorrect and does not support his claims. Based on the observation of only one nine-needle illustration, the author states that the needles should be described as lancets rather than needles, and, on this basis, the author concludes that acupuncture is similar to bloodletting. The concept of nine-needle first appeared in Huang Di Nei Jing [Ä帝内Ï, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic of Medicine] (HDNJ), where the name, form and main treatment of nine-needles were discussed in detail [2]; however, there was no illustration of the nine needles. Since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been scholars in all dynasties who have shown illustrations of the nine needles based on the records from HDNJ. Until today, there are basically two painting styles regarding the shape of the needles. The illustration cited by the author (Figure1A), was drawn by Yang Jizhou [h继2]. Yang’s work was based on a similar illustration (Figure1B), which was drawn by Xu Chunfu [徐%+] in the Ming Dynasty, and was slightly modified. Another style is represented in Figure1C, which is the earliest existing nine-needle illustration [ 2]. Any reader who only looks at Figure1A will find that four needles (1, 5, 6, and 9) look like lancets, but this impression is largely due to the influence of the painting style. If Magalhaes-Sant’Ana would have seen the nine-needle illustration from Zhen Jiu Zhai Ying Ji [针xXñÆ, Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Digests] and the modern nine needle model (Figure1C,D), in which only two out of nine (#5 and #9) look like lancets, he might agree that most of them could not be described as lancets.

The author stated that the TCVA does not have a thousand-year history. Because we are unable to access the full text of the literature cited by the author, we are not sure what the basis of the author’s argument might be. However, there is written evidence that the TCVA has been used for thousands of years. Si Mu An Ji Ji [øg安¥Æ, Collection on the Treatment of Equine diseases] (SMAJJ) is the earliest and relatively complete veterinary work in China [8]. Its content mainly describes the treatment of equine diseases, with many references concerning acupuncture (PDF1 in Supplementary Materials) [9]. The date of completion of SMAJJ is about 838 A.D., 1183 years ago [10]. In addition, acupuncture was also mentioned in the bamboo clip book of Yi Ma Shu [;lf, Equine Veterinary Manual] from Lao Guan Shan Tomb of Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-8 A.D.) in Chengdu in 2012 [11].

Patterson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Elegies for Empire: The Poetics of Memory in the Late Work of Du Fu (712-770) Gregory M. Patterson This dissertation explores highly influential constructions of the past at a key turning point in Chinese history by mapping out what I term a poetics of memory in the more than four hundred poems written by Du Fu !" (712-770) during his two-year stay in the remote town of Kuizhou (modern Fengjie County #$%). A survivor of the catastrophic An Lushan rebellion (756-763), which transformed Tang Dynasty (618-906) politics and culture, Du Fu was among the first to write in the twilight of the Chinese medieval period. His most prescient anticipation of mid-Tang concerns was his restless preoccupation with memory and its mediations, which drove his prolific output in Kuizhou. For Du Fu, memory held the promise of salvaging and creatively reimagining personal, social, and cultural identities under conditions of displacement and sweeping social change. The poetics of his late work is characterized by an acute attentiveness to the material supports—monuments, rituals, images, and texts—that enabled and structured connections to the past. The organization of the study attempts to capture the range of Du Fu’s engagement with memory’s frameworks and media. It begins by examining commemorative poems that read Kuizhou’s historical memory in local landmarks, decoding and rhetorically emulating great deeds of classical exemplars.

Wild Horses Can’t Keep Them Away! Horses tend to be very popular, fun loving and entertaining. They love to party and find people and crowds exciting. Elegant and charming, they like being the centre of attention. Eloquent speakers, they are persuasive, able to assimilate information quickly, but with a bit of a temper they often speak without thinking and regret later. Horses get involved in many activities but sometimes lose interest and fail to finish tasks. Prone to getting sucked in to the latest ‘craze’, they don’t take failure well and will need time to recover. Failure is humiliation. Horses like to try different things and are always on the hunt for a better opportunity.

Scientific literature demonstrates the efficacy of TCVM for many small animal neurologic disorders, including intervertebral disk disease (IVDD), other myelopathies, and painful conditions. TCVM, including acupuncture and herbals, is overall innocuous and easy to implement clinically. TCVM can be used as an adjunct or occasionally as an alternative to conventional treat- ment, and can improve functional outcome and pain management.

  • Bibliography of Chinese Linguistics William S.-Y.Wang
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS WILLIAM S.-Y.WANG INTRODUCTION THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS. IT IS INTENDED TO BE OF USE TO STUDENTS OF THE LANGUAGE WHO WISH EITHER TO CHECK THE REFERENCE OF A PARTICULAR ARTICLE OR TO GAIN A PERSPECTIVE INTO SOME SPECIAL TOPIC OF RESEARCH. THE FIELD OF CHINESE LINGUIS- TICS HAS BEEN UNDERGOING RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN RECENT YEARS. IT IS HOPED THAT THE PRESENT WORK WILL NURTURE THIS DEVELOP- MENT BY PROVIDING A SENSE OF THE SIZABLE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FIELD» BOTH PAST AND PRESENT. IN SPITE OF REPEATED CHECKS AND COUNTERCHECKS, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE SURE TO CONTAIN NUMEROUS ERRORS OF FACT, SELECTION AND OMISSION. ALSO» DUE TO UNEVENNESS IN THE LONG PROCESS OF SELECTION, THE COVERAGE HERE IS NOT UNIFORM. THE REPRESENTATION OF CERTAIN TOPICS OR AUTHORS IS PERHAPS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THE EXTENT OR IMPORTANCE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS ]g9 OF THE CORRESPONDING LITERATURE. THE COVERAGE CAN BE DIS- CERNED TO BE UNBALANCED IN TWO MAJOR WAYS. FIRST. THE EMPHASIS IS MORE ON-MODERN. SYNCHRONIC STUDIES. RATHER THAN ON THE WRITINGS OF EARLIER CENTURIES. THUS MANY IMPORTANT MONOGRAPHS OF THE QING PHILOLOGISTS. FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED HERE. THOUGH THESE ARE CERTAINLY TRACE- ABLE FROM THE MODERN ENTRIES. SECOND, THE EMPHASIS IS HEAVILY ON THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH THERE EXISTS AN ABUNDANT LITERATURE ON THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM. IN VIEW OF THESE SHORTCOMINGS, I HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT PUBLISHING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IN ITS PRESENT STATE. HOWEVER, IN THE LIGHT OF OUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR, IT IS CLEAR THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT IS STILL NEEDED TO PRODUCE A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY THAT IS AT ONCE PROPERLY BALANCED AMD COMPLETELY ACCURATE (AND, PERHAPS, WITH ANNOTATIONS ON THE IMPORTANT ENTRIES).
