The Han Dynasty's Medical Marvels: Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Om avsnittet
In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the Han dynasty's revolutionary contributions to medicine, focusing on the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) and the development of acupuncture and moxibustion. Discover how Han physicians mapped the body's meridians, used stone needles and bronze instruments, and balanced qi through practices that still influence modern medicine. Along the way, they touch on the legendary physician Bian Que, the excavated medical texts from Mawangdui, and the Han court's earliest state-sponsored medical institutions. This episode also looks at how Han medical theory intertwined with cosmology and philosophy, making health a matter of cosmic harmony. Tune in for a deep dive into a side of Han China that went beyond politics and warfare.
