About This Course
Course Introduction
Palace Taiyi Shangzhen Acupuncture is taught by Feng Changxing and focuses on 'chongqi points.' Drawing on the idea that all things carry yin and embrace yang, with chongqi bringing harmony, the course describes key points believed to activate original qi, open stagnation, and regulate imbalance. Its guiding formula is 'one needle guides chongqi, two open stagnation, three regulate the gathering of pathogenic factors.' Through fewer needles and focused, precise point selection, students learn its selection logic and procedural pathway. It is intended for learners with acupuncture fundamentals, clinical acupuncture practitioners, and students interested in this palace-tradition needling system.

Learning Experiences
Student Feedback
Taiyi Shangzhen's Chongqi-point approach is distinctive: it focuses on finding key points rather than indiscriminately inserting more needles.
The lower-back, shoulder, leg, and foot cases are practical for learners with an acupuncture foundation who want to develop further.
Using fewer needles may look simple, but point location must be precise and requires repeated practice alongside the course.
