Abstract
Zhuang medicine shallow needling has a long history and plays a significant role in Chinese medicine. With the development of medical treatment in China, there is a constant improvement in the use of needles. Bone needles have been modified to pottery needles, bronze needles, and electroacupuncture. From this long development history, there are some improvements in terms of material and technology. By analyzing and comparing the primitive and current acupuncture instruments used in China and their therapeutic effects, it can be seen that China’s medical treatment is constantly improving and will continue to improve with technology.
