Illustrated Tung's Acupuncture Points by Dr Wei-Chieh Young fills that gap directly. Featuring over 200 colour photographs, the book provides clear visual references for each point — organised by body area rather than point family, making it straightforward to use in a clinical setting. It is designed as a practical companion, equally useful to those new to Tung's acupuncture and to experienced practitioners wanting a reliable desk reference. What the book covers 01 Over 200 colour photographs providing precise visual location guidance for Tung's acupuncture points 02 Points organised by body area — fingers, hands, arms, legs, head, back and chest — for easy clinical reference 03 Clear anatomical references to support accurate and consistent point application in practice 04 Coverage of the full range of Tung's point locations as taught and documented by Dr Wei-Chieh Young 05 A compact, hard-cover format designed for everyday use alongside clinical practice Who this is for Suitable for practitioners at all levels working with Tung's acupuncture — whether building familiarity with the point system for the first time or wanting a reliable, photo-based reference to support established clinical practice. Works well alongside Lectures on Tung's Acupuncture: Therapeutic System for those seeking both the theoretical grounding and the practical atlas. | |

 | Clinical Reference · Tung's Acupuncture Quick Facts Author Dr Wei-Chieh Young Pages 267pp, soft-bound Language English Publisher American Chinese Cultural Center Edition 5th edition, 2017 ISBN 978-0-9779026-5-1 Tung's acupuncture occupies a distinctive place in Chinese medicine. Developed by Master Tung Ching-Chang and transmitted through a small circle of trusted students, it uses a system of points largely outside the classical meridian structure — points that have attracted significant clinical interest but require a different framework to understand and apply well. Lectures on Tung's Acupuncture: Therapeutic System draws on seminars delivered by Dr Wei-Chieh Young at Korean universities, transcribed and structured into a systematic clinical reference. Dr Young — one of the foremost Western authorities on Tung's acupuncture — covers point selection logic, treatment principles and the theoretical foundations that distinguish Tung's system from classical TCM acupuncture. What the book covers 01 The theoretical basis of Tung's acupuncture and its relationship to classical meridian theory 02 Point selection principles across a broad range of clinical presentations 03 Clinical applications spanning neurological, gynaecological and dermatological presentations 04 Practical guidance on integrating Tung's points with classical meridian-based techniques 05 Detailed clinical comparisons to support decision-making in practice 06 The distinguishing features of Tung's system set against classical TCM acupuncture methodology Who this is for This is a reference text for practitioners, not an introductory guide. It assumes a working knowledge of TCM acupuncture and builds from there — most valuable to those already in practice who want to extend their clinical range. | |

 | Classical Theory · Clinical Application Quick Facts Author Dr Wei-Chieh Young Pages 430pp, vinyl-bound Language English Publisher American Chinese Cultural Center Edition 1st edition, 2013 ISBN 978-0-9779026-8-2 Translated by Michael Helme The five transport points — jing, ying, shu, jing and he — are among the most clinically significant points in classical acupuncture, found along each of the twelve meridian channels. Understanding them fully means understanding not just their locations but their theoretical underpinning: the five phases, qi movement, seasonal and hourly correspondences, and the principles that govern when and why each category of point is selected. The 5 Transport Points: Clinical Application and Personal Insights by Dr Wei-Chieh Young is the most comprehensive English-language study of this subject available. At 430 pages, it moves from foundational theory through to advanced clinical application — drawing on Dr Young's decades of practice and scholarship to produce a text that is as much about the depth of classical thought as it is about point selection in practice. What the book covers 01 The significance and defining characteristics of each of the five transport point categories across all twelve meridians 02 Their connection to five phase theory, qi movement and blood flow — the classical theoretical foundations 03 Seasonal and hourly point selection — the principles governing when each category of point is most appropriate 04 Spatial and temporal correspondences in classical point selection theory 05 Acupoint bleeding and specialised needling methods associated with the transport point system 06 Dr Young's personal clinical insights — bridging classical scholarship and contemporary acupuncture practice Who this is for Practitioners and advanced students with a solid grounding in TCM theory who want to deepen their understanding of classical point selection. This is a substantial text — at 430 pages it rewards serious study rather than quick reference. Particularly valuable for those with an interest in the classical foundations of acupuncture theory. | |
