Acupuncture Popularization was a measure taken to construct and improve public health in the early years of New China. Acupuncture Popularization in Guangdong Province was closely combined with the interest of the public and the proposal that 'doctors with western background should learn from Chinese medicine'. Some measures, such as extensive mobilization, short-term training and stepwise promotion, were introduced to popularize acupuncture in primary healthcare. This developed Chinese medicine as the process of primary care in New China and improved the 'uniting of Chinese medicine and Western medicine' and the community-level social management. It demonstrated the planning and activities of the New Government in terms of making rational use of Chinese medicine resources and exploring the new public health system adapted to the Chinese context.
