One of the most famous Chinese medical treatments is the art
of "magic needles",or Chinese acupuncture.It was developed

called bian were used to press areas of te body.

As acupuneture developed,the siutple bid stones were replaced by
stone needles.Eventually,metal needles began to appear and took the
place of stone needles.These solid needles are made of different
metals,such as gold and silver.Some acupuncturists today still use
gold and silver needles,but the majority have now switched to
stainless steel ones.In addition to the changes in material,the shapes
