However, ancient Chinese took a dramatic turn when Huang Di – The Yellow Emperor discussed with his physician named Qi Bo the whole gamut of Chinese Medical Arts. After that, many changes took place and around the years 627 A.D. the famous physician Zhen Quan made revisions to the texts of ancient Chinese acupuncture.
