The bronze man

The landmark
for holistic therapy

Symbol of Chinese Medicine

In China, many generations learned the ancient therapy method of acupuncture from a bronze man who is now 1000 years old. The statue is considered the symbol of Chinese medicine par excellence and is held in the highest esteem in China and throughout the world: In 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping presented the World Health Organization (WHO) with an "acupuncture bronze man".Students can not only read all the meridians and acupuncture points precisely on the 3-D model. Filled with water on the inside and coated with a layer of wax on the outside, the bronze man allows the precise placement of needles - and has done so since the time of the Song Dynasty around 1000 B.C. If the water flowed out after the needle was placed correctly, the test was passed!
