MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

About this book
This 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.
Everyone can download, share, copy and redistribute the

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!

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

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 (五行五行, 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).

Tung or
Dong?

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

MASTER TUNG ACUPUNCTURE – TOP 30 MASTER TUNG POINTS

Tung’s Acupunture

Principles

• 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.

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.”
