Abstract

Since the prehistoric age, chinese medicine has been a fusion of diverse medical contents from different regions. In "黃帝內經", the origin of the medicine is explained : acupuncture is from the East, moxibustion is from the South and North, massage is from middle region. These medical characteristics from different regions fuse into one and constitute the chinese medicine of today.
