Abstract:
The paper introduces Professor ZHUANG Lixing's academic thought on Daoqi Tongjing (directing qi to preserve essence) needling technique and the clinical experience. Based on Huangdi Neijing (the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), Dongyuan needling technique and Professor JIN Rui 's Daoqi Tongjing needling method, and by inheriting the valuable experience from the ancient masters and associating with his own clinical practices, Professor ZHUANG Lixing fully displayes the characteristics of principles, methods, formulas, acupoints and techniques of acupuncture in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. He integrates the thought of regulating the mind with Daoqi Tongjing needling. This needling method focuses on directing qi through mind regulation and needle manipulation, in which, the operation steps are refined. Besides, this needling method involves both the reinforcing and reducing techniques. The satisfactory effect of this needling has been obtained in clinical treatment for many disorders such as qi reversion and disharmony of yin and yang.
