Most TCM material online is either a sales page or a textbook scan. This is a structured, bilingual reference: what the concepts actually mean, where they come from, and where the evidence is thin. It is free, it needs no sign-up, and it is built to be read — then, if you want treatment, go to someone licensed.
The reference above is free and stays free. If you want it in reading order, or have a question specific to you, we offer paid services — each answered by a real researcher in Beijing, never bulk mail. Educational only: no diagnosis, no prescription.

The same concepts, framed for readers in 10 regions — English and Chinese. Localized reading pages, not clinic listings, and no claims about outcomes.
The mental model the rest of TCM is built on — and where it is honest about its own limits.
Described so you can follow a consultation, not so you can diagnose yourself.
The twelve primary meridians and the eight extraordinary vessels.
Location, meridian, special category and what the classical texts record.
Category, nature and flavour, traditional role — and the safety notes that matter.
Classical formulas as the literature records them: composition, source and traditional category. Doses are deliberately not listed — they are set by a licensed practitioner.
What each method is, what happens in a session, and what the risks are.
The pattern vocabulary you will meet in the literature, described plainly.
The terms that make TCM writing hard to read, with pinyin and the Chinese.
Yin and Yang → Qi → Five Phases. Three concepts, and most TCM writing becomes parseable.
Zang and Fu → the four examinations → the eight principles. Now you can follow what a practitioner is doing and why.
Points and meridian theory → herbs by category → pattern differentiation. Useful as a teaching or patient-explainer resource.
The reference above is for looking things up. The Study Pack puts the same material in reading order — 10 modules, printable, offline, with self-check questions. Read Module 1 free.
Call your local emergency number. In the United States that is 911. Nothing on this site is a substitute for that call.
A medical tradition from China with roughly two millennia of written record, built on the ideas of Yin and Yang, Qi and the five phases, and organised around meridians, pattern differentiation and a materia medica of herbs.
No. It is an educational and cultural reference. We do not diagnose, prescribe, recommend medicines or doses, or claim to treat or cure anything. For any health concern, consult a licensed healthcare professional.
No — but terminology is where beginners get stuck, because the same Chinese word is translated differently by different authors. Every entry here is bilingual and includes pinyin, so you can connect the English term to the original.
Core terminology and the interface are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Japanese — because terminology is the first wall most learners hit. The full entries are being translated section by section, by hand, not by machine.
To a licensed practitioner in your own jurisdiction. Licensing rules differ a great deal from country to country and in many places "acupuncturist" is a protected title. Check your local health authority.
Yes. The whole reference is free to read and share, with no sign-up. It is kept free deliberately: the barrier for most people is the terminology, not the price.
We help you understand, and we help you find the right person. We do not diagnose, we do not prescribe, and we never suggest a medicine or a dose. But if a term is still unclear, or you want to know what a treatment actually involves before you book it somewhere, ask us. We reply in English or Chinese.
