Abstract

Focusing on the phenomenon of "de-acupoints" of the needle insertion sites in Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), the authors allocated the evolution and characteristics of the needle insertion sites of FSN. From six aspects, named morphology and structure, location, nomenclature, numbers and meridian tropism, indications and acupuncture manipulations, the comparison was made between the insertion sites of FSN and traditional acupoints. It is believed: ①The needle insertion sites of FSN has the basic attributes of acupoint, which not only refers to the operation site, but also indicates the reaction of disease; moreover, it is the treatment site with significant therapeutic effect. ②The optimized sites of insertion in FSN should be named differently and their locations and numbers should be specified relatively. ③The insertion sites of FSN should be further intersected and integrated with traditional acupoints, and a part of traditional acupoints should become the insertion sites of FSN. ④Accepting and integrating the insertion sites of FSN, and expanding the scope of traditional acupoints may be the new project in the research of traditional acupoints.

针对浮针进针点“去腧穴化”现象,笔者梳理了浮针进针点的演变过程及特点,从形态及结构、定位、命名、数目及分类归经、作用主治、针刺手法6个方面,将浮针进针点与传统腧穴进行比较,认为:①浮针进针点具备腧穴的基本属性,不仅是操作部位,也是病症反应部位,更是有着显著疗效的治疗部位;②优化后的浮针进针点将有不同的名称,以及相对固定的位置和数目;③浮针进针点与传统腧穴将进一步交集、整合,部分传统腧穴将成为浮针进针点;④接纳融合浮针进针点,扩大腧穴范畴,可能是传统腧穴学面对的新课题。.

Keywords: acupoint scope; acupoint specificity; insertion sites of Fu's subcutaneous needling; traditional acupoints.
