Chinese DieDa originated in ancient times, first documented in classical texts such as the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon and Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders, dating back thousands of years. Ancient physicians observed the natural world, studying the movements of animals and plants, and gradually formulated the theoretical basis for DieDa. Over the course of history, this therapy underwent continuous development and refinement, evolving into a distinctive theoretical system.

2. Theoretical Foundations:

The theoretical foundations of Chinese DieDa include concepts such as “meridian theory,” “qi and blood theory,” and “techniques of fist and foot.” Meridian theory posits that the body’s meridians serve as pathways for the circulation of qi and blood. By stimulating specific acupoints, the therapy aims to regulate meridian flow, achieving effects such as dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation. The qi and blood theory emphasizes the importance of balance in bodily qi and blood for health.

Chinese DieDa employs techniques like massage, tapping, and kneading to promote the circulation of qi and blood, facilitating blood stasis resolution and tendon and vessel relaxation. The techniques of fist and foot are the practical skills of Chinese DieDa, including methods such as pressing, pushing, tapping, and kneading. Through the application of these techniques, the therapy adjusts meridians, promotes the circulation of qi and blood, and accelerates the recovery process.

In clinical practice, practitioners utilize the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation to identify the cause of the ailment and determine an appropriate treatment plan. Subsequently, they employ suitable techniques to achieve the main therapeutic goals of promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and relaxing tendons and vessels. Chinese DieDa excels in alleviating pain symptoms, restoring joint function, and relaxing muscles.
