Additional information

LU Shou-yan (1909–1969), a famous acupuncturist in China and overseas, from Kunshan, Jiangsu province, started to learn medicine from his father LI Pei-qing (a distinguished acupuncturist) at the age of 16, and started to practice medicine in Shanghai when he was 18, followed by amazing effects in treating patients. Later on, he created the “New-China Acupuncture Research Association” and acupuncture correspondence course. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he hosted positions including director of acupuncture department, Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, director of acupuncture department, Longhua Hospital, director of Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian, and director of Shanghai Municipal Acupuncture Association. His works included Illustrated Meridians, Overview of Acupuncture Points, Collections of Needling Techniques, and Illustrations of Acupuncture Points, along with 22 papers. In addition, he developed an adult-sized motor-operated glass model containing meridians and points in collaboration with Shanghai Instructional Model Factory, coupled with recording explanations to provide a direct view of running course of meridians and meridian-qi flow.
