In recent years, his teachings have been spread and promoted to more than 10 countries and 30 cities and regions in China and abroad.

It has become an educational and a technological promotion project for Chinese medicine by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is loved and highly valued by acupuncture and otolaryngology professionals at all levels of medical institutions and communities.
