Abstract:
“Acupoint characteristics” has a significant influence on the study of acupoints. The description pattern of “property of Chinese medicine - function - indication” of analogy TCM put forward the description pattern of “acupoint characteristics-function-indication axis”. The study was carried out from the following three aspects:sorting, forming and improving the theories on acupoint characteristics; determining the functions according to present theories and indications of acupoints, methodizing the indications of acupoints; through functions, gradually simplifying and supplementing. Therefore, the above would make great sense to further research and systematic study and memorizing of acupoints and promoting clinical thinking about acupuncture, with a purpose to better guide clinical application.
