Abstract:
The treatment of bi （痹） disease in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》） is mainly based on acupuncture therapy. There are differences in needling depth， angle， needling techniques， number of needles and the selection of needle instruments. By reviewing literature， it is found that in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor， five body constituents （skin， vessel， flesh， sinew， bone） disease location differentiation is taken as the principle for the diagnosis and treatment of bi disease， guiding the needle to the lesion level where the disease is located， and according to the severity of the disease， the characteristics of pathological qi and other factors， the choice of specific acupuncture method and needles are made. This paper summarized and grouped the 17 kinds of acupuncture methods for the treatment of bi disease according to the different five body consitutuents disease location. For needle instruments， filiform needles which can softly unblock and regulate qi are often used in the treatment of bi disease. Lance needles are good at treating vessel bi with the function of clearing blood and moving qi. Round-sharp needles and fire needles are applicable for sinew bi， among which fire needles are especially good at that induced by cold. Long needles have advantages for deep-seated bi disease due to their long needle body. The puncturing method should be in accordance with the needle instruments. The five body instituents disease location differentiation and treatment is a unique system of acupuncture in the treatment of bi disease， which is worthy of more inheritance and application.
