Nobody likes to be sick. Nowadays, many children go to the doctor to get medicine when they are sick. In ancient China, there were also doctors. But instead of treating people after they were already sick, the ancient Chinese believed that preventing an illness before it started was the key to one's health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of more than 5,000 years. It summarizes the experience that people have gained from fighting diseases for centuries. TCM considers the human body as a whole of Qi, Xing and Shen. The ideas of Yin-Yang and Wu Xing are important for TCM. Wu Xing refers to five basic things in the nature, that is, metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
One important part of TCM is Yin-Yang. The Yin-Yang symbol stands for balance. Hold your hand out with your palm (掌心) up. This side of your hand is the Yin side. The back of your hand is the Yang side. They are opposites, but need each other to be complete. Yin is connected with night while Yang stands for day. The symbol of Yin-Yang shows how important balance is in life and in the body.
Another important part of TCM is Qi. It is the life force energy. In ancient Chinese medicine, it is believed that Qi flows through the body. If Qi is unbalanced or blocked (堵住的), a person may become sick.
How does Traditional Chinese Medicine work? How do Yin-Yang and Qi keep balance? One way is acupuncture (针灸), which unblocks Qi with thin needles. The needles are put into the skin at points (穴位) on the body where Qi is blocked.
