Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the academic characteristics and the current status of active inheritance of the acupuncture and moxibustion schools in northern Zhejiang.[Methods]Through literature search,data query,personnel interview and other ways,collect the relevant records of acupuncture and moxibustion in northern Zhejiang,sort out the representative schools and summarize their common academic characteristics.[Results]Upon reviewing the literature,it was discovered that the acupuncture and moxibustion schools in northern Zhejiang had a long and storied history,holding a significant position within the academic system of the"Xiushui medical school".Through historical medical research and interviews,it was summarized that the acupuncture and moxibustion in northern Zhejiang possessed five major academic characteristics:precise acupoint selection,diligent study of classics,skillful application of techniques,compassionate medical practice and emphasis on moxibustion therapy.However,the schools faced challenges such as slow transmission,traditional methods and limited dissemination scope during the process of inheritance.[Conclusion]The acupuncture and moxibustion schools in northern Zhejiang have demonstrated distinct academic characteristics and potential for intergenerational innovation in acupoint theory,manual skills and humanistic care.Their inheritance practices have deepened the academic connotations of the"Xiushui medical school".In the future,it is essential to enhance the current status of active inheritance through modern technology and communication methods to promote the widespread dissemination and sustainable development of the academic ideas of northern Zhejiang acupuncture and moxibustion.
