The medical treatise
Huang Di Neijing,
attributed to the Yellow Emperor (2697-2597 BC), mentions the importance of spiritual balance, acupuncture and herbal medicine in treating illnesses, and attests to the venerable age of China's medical beliefs - it may well be a compilation of an even earlier text. Acupuncture was certainly in use by the Han period, as tombs in Hebei dated to 113 BC have yielded acupuncture needles made of gold and silver. Other useful information
