This is a very long process, which can be formed by the accumulation of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. These phenomena are still reflected to varying degrees in primates today. For example, chimpanzees, apes and other individuals have a simple massage click to relieve pain.
All kinds of stone needles, bone needles, other primitive acupuncture instruments and early meridian circulation diagrams unearthed by various primitive people have proved that as early as more than 100,000 to 20,000 years ago, there have been relatively primitive acupuncture treatment behaviors in this land of China. In the range of 20,000 to 8,000 years, such as the cave people on the top of the mountain, the Hemudu people, the Banpo people and other sites have found more delicate bone needles, stone needles and even more advanced pottery needles, indicating that the scope of acupuncture treatment in this era is wider.
By the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, acupuncture had formed a system, and legend has it that the books such as "Three Tombs", "Five Classics", "Eight Suo", and "Nine Hills" have complete records of the meridian points, and it is said that the existing classic "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" of Chinese medicine is in line with it.

The definite time for The formation of a complete system of meridians in Chinese medicine is between the pre-Qin period and the Western Han Dynasty, and the completion of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics marks the gradual perfection of the meridian acupuncture points from only words scattered in various texts.

In the future, no matter which one it is, it will be based on Wang's only bone degree measurement method to determine the location of acupuncture points. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yang Jizhou expanded the acupuncture points to 359 in the "Acupuncture Dacheng" and rearranged the meridian dialectics, and Li Xuechuan in the Qing Dynasty expanded the acupuncture points to 361 in the "Acupuncture Fengyuan".
