Abstract
Recently unearthed Tinhui Medical Slips, dating back to 2nd century BCE, demonstrates the 12th meridian in Chinese medicine as an anatomy-based discovery. This is equivalent to the persistent median artery, which was later incorporated into Neijing meridian theory and set the foundation for traditional acupuncture today.
