The Internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a Bridge for Dialogue and Understanding between Chinese Citizens and Spanish-Speaking Countries
Summary
This presentation addresses the strategic role of the internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a tool for intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and academic cooperation between China and Spanish-speaking countries. It’s an initiative led by the European Foundation of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine, associated with the European University of the Atlantic, in collaboration with the TCM Section of Cátedra China and 20 Chinese TCM universities.
The core of this project is the creation of a University Expert Studies program in TCM, aimed at fostering academic exchange between Chinese students and students from Spain and Latin America. The goal is to promote friendship, dialogue, and understanding among young people from different cultures through the joint study and practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
Beyond academic content, the plan includes complementary actions to ensure the sustainability of the project: the creation of an alumni network (ALUMNI EXPERT TCM CHINA-SPAIN), a scholarship system to facilitate mobility and access, and the establishment of permanent links between universities, institutions, and individuals committed to the development of integrative and inclusive medicine.
Among the main expected outcomes are: the effective signing of agreements with 20 Chinese TCM universities within a year, the ongoing delivery of courses and practical training sessions, the consolidation of a community of students and professionals committed to exchange, and the creation of a positive, truthful, and relatable image of China in Spanish-speaking societies, based on the personal experiences of its citizens.
This project constitutes a model of international cooperation that goes beyond academics. Through the shared language of health, respect for tradition, and a commitment to science, a bridge is built between peoples who, though geographically distant, are increasingly united in challenges, values, and aspirations.

Jingjin (Channel Sinews): Elaboration and Modern Application
Summary
The presentation will introduce the features of Jingjin (Channel Sinews) described in its original text in Ling Shu (Miraculous Pivot) such as their distribution courses including their knots on the passways, symptoms and indications if they are disturbed, and therapeutic methods. Further introduction will be the elaboration of the concept of Jingjin (Channel Sinews) by the scholars in the later generations and abroad. In recent several decades, JIngjin (Channel Sinews) theory has been re-emerged and studied, and was inspired and guided by it consciously or unconsciously. Detailed Jingjin (Channel sinews) symptoms and pattern differentiations were developed and also variety of corresponding acupuncture methods and acupuncture instruments were invented.
Promoting the method of palpating the "sinew knots" under the guidance of Jingjin (Channel sinews) theory will help promote the characteristics of syndrome differentiation and acupuncture treatment, thereby improving clinical efficacy. It is important to apply Jingjin (Channels sinews) syndrome differentiation to diagnose and treat different diseases (mainly musculoskeletal diseases) and combine modern medical diagnostic methods to analyze and study Jingjin (Channel sinews) symptoms and syndromes. Modern clinical practice of acupuncture urgently needs a standardized syndrome differentiation and treatment system with acupuncture characteristics (different from Chinese internal medicine), which can clarify the jingjin (Channels sinews) syndrome differentiation types and identify the nature and location of the disease then use appropriate acupuncture treatment methods.

On the Biases in Meridian Theory over the Past Millennium
—— Restoring the Meridian Qi Circulation Theory to Its Rightful Place in Theory and Clinical Practice
Summary
This paper investigates the parallel theories of "Nutrient Blood Circulation" and "Meridian Qi Circulation" in the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, proposing that the "Jing-He Converging Flow" represents the earliest circulatory model focused on meridian qi, whereas the "Lung-Liver Flow" constitutes a later model centered on nutrient blood. Clarifying the distinct pathways of meridian qi and nutrient blood may resolve long-standing theoretical dilemmas in the field. Contemporary research on meridian sensation transmission supports the Meridian Qi Circulation theory and has identified eight governing principles. The theory holds clinical relevance, and mastering its patterns can enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Since the Tang Dynasty—and continuing in current TCM textbooks—the "Nutrient Blood Circulation" of the twelve meridians, as described in the Lingshu·Jingmai chapter, has been misrepresented as the entirety of meridian theory. This has marginalized the "Jing-He Converging Flow" theory and led to the erroneous conflation of Nutrient Blood Circulation with Meridian Qi Circulation. Such misinterpretation has resulted in a significant disconnect between acupuncture theory and clinical practice. It is imperative that the "Meridian Qi Circulation" theory be reinstated to its rightful place in academic discourse and clinical application after a millennium of neglect.

The important role of pulse diagnosis in clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer
Summary
• In clinical practice, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are brought into play. Using pulse diagnosis to find the pulse points is the first step in treating diseases.
• Selecting the corresponding meridians and acupoints based on the pulse, and using acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat tumors and difficult and complicated diseases can achieve satisfactory results.
• Finding the pulse and the pulse point is to find the root cause of the disease, to determine whether the tumor is in the active stage or the stable stage, and thus to determine the patient's prognosis, which is a key part of traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis and treatment.
• Pulse diagnosis is the forerunner of treatment and plays an important guiding role. Selecting sensitive meridian acupoints for treatment is an important method for effectiveness. The pulse after acupuncture is the standard for measuring whether it is effective. If the pulse does not change, it is ineffective, indicating that the meridians and acupoints are not perfect.

PRACTICAL & EFFECTIVE SLIMMING WITH ACUPUNCTURE
Summary
Slimming for obese people frequently fail due to following incorrect way of losing weight, which may also cause nutrients imbalance. Slimming treatments may also be deemed ineffective due to slow weight loss, causing impatience and loss of confidence in the treatment. Effective slimming is not just judged by decline in weight, but also in reduction of body fat, better shaped body, and avoidance of serious diseases.

Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for harmony of essence, energy and spirit
Summary
This article studies the parallel theories of "nutritional blood circulation" and "meridian energy circulation" in the "Inner Canon." It posits that "well-channel circulation" is the first mode of circulation primarily based on "meridian energy," while "lung-liver circulation" is the second mode of circulation primarily based on "nutritional blood." Clarifying the different circulations of "meridian energy" and "nutritional blood" can resolve historical theoretical issues. Currently, research on "meridian sensation transmission" supports the theory of "meridian energy circulation" and identifies its eight regularities. The theory of "meridian energy circulation" can guide clinical practice, and understanding its patterns can enhance clinical efficacy. Since the Tang Dynasty, up to the present day, textbooks in traditional Chinese medicine universities have regarded the "nutritional blood circulation" of the twelve meridians in the "Spiritual Pivot: Meridians" as the foundation of the entire meridian theory, marginalizing the "meridian energy circulation" theory of "well-channel circulation" and treating "nutritional blood circulation" as synonymous with "meridian energy circulation" to guide

The importance of the Earth, as Center, in Chinese Medicine
Summary
Chinese Medicine can be understood by its Chinese name as 中医, basically meaning the Medicine from China, which can be read as the Country of the Center. So Chinese Medicine can (and in our perspective, should) be understood as the Medicine of the Center, or the Medicine of bringing patients back to their Center.
Kan Li Method, developed in EBRAMEC College, as in Water and Fire Method, is directly related to the strategy of going back to the roots, considering that the most basic disturbances on Yin and Yang are meant to be understood in order to help the patient, and to achieve this the concept of Center/Earth is an important way to look at, as in Pi Wei Lun .
