Acupuncture in Japan Prior to World War II »

In 404 CE, the first foreign medicine was imported into Japan from Korea, which has been deduced as being mostly herbal in nature. During this time, waves of migration from the Korean peninsula brought Chinese technology and writings to the island nation. It was through these transplants that the native Japanese learned of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. As passageways between China and Japan became more open, the first formal introduction of acupuncture in Japan occurred in 562 by a Chinese monk name Zhi Cong. He made the trek across the Sea of China east and brought with him medical treatises on herbal medicine and acupuncture meridians including the Mingtang tu, also known as the Illustrated Manual of Channels, Collaterals, and Acupuncture Points.

Happy Constitution Day! On this day in 1787, the US Constitution was signed. The United States Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government, and many nations that have been established since 1787 have considered the Constitution as a model for their own foundations. More than two centuries after its ratification, the United States Constitution remains a vital and living document, strengthened by amendments, serving as both guide and protector of U.S. citizens and their elected officials.http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/ConstitutionDay.htmhttp://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/constitution-day/
