Return to the origin, based on clinical and absorb new knowledge to improve and reconstruct acupuncture theory system of thinking

Author: bao-yan liu sources: the world federation of acupuncture and moxibustion original update: 2016-3-5

As early as 2000 years ago, during the period of neijing acupuncture knowledge system has been formed. Neijing has been discussed in detail in the acupoints, needle, stab, adaptation range, acupuncture moxibustion method operation method, the key factors influencing the effect of acupuncture and acupuncture is closely related to the meridian system, the basic principles of acupuncture and moxibustion, etc. Past dynasties doctor for acupuncture knowledge system has made the contribution of different level, enrich the content of acupuncture and moxibustion medical books, but the acupuncture refining, sublimation, form a complete and independent discipline, but also to our country higher education of Chinese medicine. Different versions of the acupuncture teaching materials for acupuncture and moxibustion for acupuncture and moxibustion theory system of systematic and knowledge learning, for the application of acupuncture and moxibustion, has played a good role.

After decades of clinical practice, a growing number of acupuncture workers see currently widely learning promotion of acupuncture and moxibustion theory system, too much under the influence of the vein of "generous" theory system, especially in the understanding of disease, is basically the vein of "generous" understanding of disease copied to the acupuncture and moxibustion, suitable for traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment method was applied to acupuncture of France. Lead to what they have learned the disjointed phenomenon is obvious. Especially constrained mode of thinking, significantly affect the acupuncture treatment of expanding the range of, improve curative effect.

As acupuncture internationalization, more and more interested in acupuncture of disciplines, the width and depth of the study on the expanding, many of the clinical application of acupuncture method for modern medicine, the study of modern science, the mechanism and principle of different degrees of revealing, and to give these traditional acupuncture gives a new concept, has been clear about the its clinical application range, simplifying the use method, although these methods from acupuncture and moxibustion, but its theory is completely different from traditional acupuncture theories, especially the theory is different from the vein of "generous", such as "dry" needle therapy, acupuncture is den "o" is the modern application of acupuncture, although the application of the method of needle, needle, needle parts is o with traditional acupuncture point acupuncture is similar, but its, from the perspective of the human anatomy, etc, to further clarify its treatment indications and stimulate the point, the system different from traditional acupuncture and moxibustion theory explanation, so I don't think "dry" needle acupuncture. We believe any a subject is a growing process, its logo, not time, but their subject unknown solutions and perfect, will in the process of its development as a result of the "paradigm" transformation, and the scientific revolution, discipline differentiation, but he is also on the basis of the original subject development. Although physics, chemistry, mathematics, compared with the subject in the early modern medicine although has changed beyond recognition, but still the original subject. The key is the original subject how to improve according to new findings, constantly reconstruct its theoretical system.

In view of this, perfect, refactoring acupuncture theory system, has become a key of sustainable development of acupuncture. How to perfect and reconstruct acupuncture theory system, has not yet formed a consensus high framework, but I think the "return to the origin, based on clinical and absorb new knowledge" is the key.

"Back to basics", a, is to the invention and discovery of the elders, to the traditional theory to have a fear of heart, to be fully respected. Second, to fully understand and follow the acupuncture own law of development. To see the acupuncture and moxibustion is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, but because the intervention methods, acupuncture and moxibustion and the vein of "easy" in the maintenance of health prevention and cure of the vast differences in the ways, methods and mechanism of; Been found that three to ancient acupuncture physicians and later a large number of acupuncture practice demonstrate knowledge system as the foundation, acupuncture and moxibustion theory framework. As in neijing has been formed during the period of acupuncture knowledge system: acupoints, channels and collaterals, thorn moxibustion methods, timing of acupuncture treat god, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc.

Based on clinical, a, with clinical efficacy as the guidance, firmly grasp the theoretical system of acupuncture is a powerful tool to guide clinical practice, help predict prognosis, theory to serve for the clinical practice; Second, to clinical practice as the core, to sum up, refining distillation to produce the key factor of acupuncture and moxibustion theory frame. From the Angle of body acupuncture point stimulation disease, classification and staging in different contact thorn moxibustion; For every thorn moxibustion methods, timing of acupuncture treatment, frequency of electric acupuncture, acupuncture, and the difference between different thorn moxibustion methods such as construct the theoretical framework of the key factors.

To absorb new knowledge, and according to the clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion, using modern science and technology concept, methods, from different angles on the basic scientific problems, the effect mechanism of acupuncture and modern thorn moxibustion, in-depth and detailed study, constantly improve the method of acupuncture and moxibustion, improve their effectiveness, to solve clinical problems. Second, learn the method of neijing, the multi-disciplinary research results in a timely manner into the system of TCM acupuncture, timely to acupuncture mechanism at home and abroad, such as biological basis summarized the achievements of basic research combing, refinement, and would have proved that the elaboration of knowledge complement, perfect to acupuncture and moxibustion theory framework and key factors, make the traditional acupuncture and moxibustion theory system is expanded in the width and depth.

To improve and reconstruct acupuncture theory system, the first to fully recognize its necessity and importance of to emancipate the mind, advancing with The Times, to the statue of the ancient old ", to found that fully understanding and respect to the invention of the ancients, but again want to see with the deepening of the accumulation of practice, scientific research, acupuncture knowledge system has been continuously enriched, new, more reasonable and more combined with the perfection of the interpretation of the clinical application should be timely and necessary system reconstruction, including "inclusive open" is the key.

To improve and reconstruct acupuncture theory system, it is a system engineering, is a seriously comb, a deep understanding, careful screening, reasonable results. Need to have a scientific attitude to the multidisciplinary organic fusion, to learn to use "modern" to explain, in this paper, the theoretical system of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Improve and reconstruct acupuncture theory system, is home to acupuncture and moxibustion acupuncture historical responsibility of people, a difficult task, need effective organization. Hope organic combination of a team of researchers at home and abroad, and acupuncture can be promoted to level 1 discipline work mutual echo.

"Is the essence of aspects of the essence of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture", for the perfection of acupuncture and moxibustion theory system and refactoring will promote the rapid development of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in health services, to play a greater role in the construction of China's health!
