Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties were the heyday in the history of massage development. The most obvious sign is that massage has been recognized by the court. At that time, the Chinese medicine department or Chinese medicine hospital set up a massage department and started organized teaching.

For example, there were massage doctors in Sui Dynasty; In the Tang Dynasty, Tai Hospital had a massage department. Masseurs are divided into three grades: masseurs, masseurs and masseurs. Massage doctors, with the assistance of masseurs and masseuses, teach massage students how to get rid of diseases and correct injuries and falls, which is one of the earliest organized medical education in China.

The formative stage of massage

During the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, tuina, as a discipline, has been formed and occupies an extremely important position in the Chinese medicine system.

At this time, the earliest medical masterpiece Huangdi Neijing records that massage can treat joint pain, flaccidity, mouth and eye deviation, stomach pain, heartache and so on. And describes the tools related to massage, such as "round needle" and "needle roller" in "Nine Needles". It can be seen that massage and acupuncture were closely related at that time and often used together.

China's first massage monograph, Ten Tuina of the Yellow Emperor and Seven Bos (Lost), was also written in the Qin and Han Dynasties. The method of "wiping ointment" was recorded for the first time in synopsis of golden chamber. At that time, Bian Que, an imperial doctor, successfully rescued the patients with syncope through massage and acupuncture.
