Abstract
The ideas of Traditional East Asian Medicine do not exist in a vacuum. Nearly every medical concept is a reflection of the much broader fabric of philosophical, cosmological, and transpersonal concerns, just to name a few, each strand of which informs the other. Military considerations are an essential part of this weave and are especially germane to medicine. In this essay we present a few of the key ideas common to all aspects of strategic thought in early China and illustrate how they inform some of the fundamental principles of acupuncture practice. Primary among these is shi propensity, a concept with a wide range of clinical applications.
