(2)Tongren mingtang zhi tu are famous acupuncture point charts created in the 29th year of the reign of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1601) by Zhao Wenbing in collaboration with the physician Yang Jizhou. They were often used as accompanying illustrations to the work “Great Compilation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion” (Zhenjiu dacheng). The chart comprises four plates (two each for front, back, and side views), on which a total of approximately 600 acupuncture points are marked and which depict the human meridians in detail.Acupuncture, whose origins can be traced back over two millennia to texts such as the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), is founded on the belief that health depends on the balanced flow of qi (vital energy) through an interconnected network of channels, or meridians. The present charts translate abstract medical theory into a practical diagnostic and therapeutic tool, guiding the practitioner in locating precise points for treatment.Unlike Western naturalistic autonomy, the figures emphasize internal pathways, joints, and nodes where energy is believed to concentrate or shift. Each point corresponds to specific organs, functions, or symptoms, reflecting the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in which the body is understood as an integrated system rather than a collection of isolated parts.Beyond their medical function, these charts embody a sophisticated empirical tradition that developed independently of Western anatomical science, yet sought equally systematic explanations for human health and disease. From the 17th century onward, knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medical theory entered Europe through Jesuit missionaries, physicians, and later collectors, contributing to early Western medical curiosity and comparative scientific study. As historical documents, these charts stand not only as teaching tools of Qing-period medicine but also as enduring symbols of one of the world's oldest continuous healing traditions.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related set of acupuncture charts, drawn in the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty and printed in the Qing dynasty, 110 cm high, in the Yushengtang-Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Compare a closely related acupuncture chart, dated to the Wanli period, in the Horniman Museum & Gardens, museum number 4768. Compare a closely related acupuncture chart, dated to the Qing dynasty, in the American Acupuncture Museum.
