title = "Pavlovian Theory and the Scientification of Acupuncture in 1950s China",
abstract = "Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849–1936) was a famous Soviet scientist. He made great contributions to a range of fields, including physiology, psychology, and education. In the 1950s Pavlovian theory was introduced into China. It was widely applied to scientific research, thanks in part to the political and ideological needs of Chinese Communist Party. Zhu Lian (1909–1978) was the first to use Pavlovian theory to explain the mechanism of acupuncture. The author of this chapter discusses the medical and political motivations for using Pavlovian theory to explain the effects of acupuncture.",
