Building the Legacy in the U.S.

Daoshing Ni and Mao Shing Ni

 When we founded Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we made a pledge to pass on the teachings of our father, grandfather and ancient teachers of Chinese Medicine to future generations—to provide you with a place of learning based on the guiding principles of Taoism, where you may explore your own spiritual growth as an integral part of learning the healing arts.”   -Daoshing Ni and Mao Shing Ni

Our 37th Generation
Transmitting the Legacy

Hau-Ching Ni

Yo San Ni's son, Hua-Ching Ni, was born in China in the early 1900s. Brilliant and energetic as a child, Hua-Ching longed to pursue a more fulfilling education than the modern schooling offered. Recognizing his son’s frustration and potential, Yo San opened The College of Tao and Chinese Healing. It was here that Yo San transmitted the Ni family legacy to his son and his other students.  In 1949,Yo San advised his son to leave their small town in a rapidly changing, war-torn country and to seek out a better life outside China.  For twenty-seven years Hua-Ching lived in Taiwan and taught Traditional Chinese Medicine.  He eventually moved with his wife and two sons to the United States. In 1989, along with his sons, Daoshing and Mao Shing, Hua-Ching founded Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  He has since returned to China and still resides there as an active member of his community.

Our 36th Generation
Rebuilding the Legacy

Yo San Ni

Yo San Ni was born in China in 1879. For generations his family had passed down from father to son the spiritual and medical knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Taoist tradition. When Yo San Ni was seven, his father died in roadside accident while away from home treating children with smallpox. At sixteen, Yo San began rebuilding his family’s healing wisdom by seeking out relatives and friends and patients of his father. He also sent many years with spiritual leaders and masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine who had fled political oppression and lived as hermits in the countryside and mountains. In his thirties, Yo San started his own medical practice and opened a traditional Chinese medical school in the village of Wen Zhoul. Yo San died at the age of ninety, having fulfilled his seemingly impossible aspirations of preserving his family legacy.
