The China Cultural Centre in Malta is delighted to invite the public to an engaging lecture on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), presented by Dr Yang Libai, director of the 20th China Medical Team to Malta and the Mediterranean Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Centre based in Paola. The event will take place at 7pm on Thursday, 4 September, at the China Cultural Centre on 173 Melita Street, Valletta.

With a history spanning over 2,000 years, TCM continues to shape health and wellness practices worldwide. This lecture will introduce the Shanyang School of TCM, which is known as one of the three major regional TCM schools in Jiangsu, exerting significant influence in academic circles. Among its most remarkable contributions is the Sancai Acupuncture Technique, a unique method created by Cheng Xinnong, a leading figure of the Shanyang School.

The Sancai Acupuncture Technique, literally meaning Three Talents Acupuncture, is a unique method within TCM. The term Three Talents comes from classical Chinese philosophy, referring to Heaven, Earth, and Humanity - the three fundamental forces that structure the universe and life itself.

What makes this technique fascinating is that it does not simply focus on inserting needles at acupuncture points. Instead, it integrates the cosmic balance of heaven, earth, and human energies into diagnosis and treatment. Practitioners consider the patient's condition in relation to natural cycles, environmental influences, and the individual's internal state. In this way, treatment aims not only to address illness but also to restore harmony between the body and the greater universe.

During this lecture, attendees will gain insight into the Sancai Acupuncture Technique, experience cupping therapy, and enjoy tasting traditional Chinese medicine tea.

This rare opportunity allows the Maltese public to experience first-hand the wisdom, practice, and cultural richness of TCM, guided by one of China's leading medical experts.

Admission is free and open to all.
