ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Huangfu Mi

Huangfu Mi was a man who lived a long time ago in ancient China. He was very smart and knew a lot of things about medicine, which is how we keep our bodies healthy.

Huangfu Mi wrote a book called "Zhenjiu Jia Yi Jing," which means "The Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion." This book was all about how to use tiny needles and a special herb called moxa to help people feel better when they are sick or in pain.

It's like when you get a shot at the doctor's office. The needle goes into your arm, and it might hurt a little bit, but it's helping your body stay healthy. Huangfu Mi's book is about where to put the needles to help different parts of the body, like your head or your back.

Even though this book was written a long time ago, people still use it today to learn about acupuncture and moxibustion to help people feel better. That's why Huangfu Mi is still remembered as a very important person in Chinese medicine.
