Abstract:
Acupoints are the response points of diseases and the stimulated points by acupuncture and moxibustion. The authors take,a's extra point,and Hegu(LI 4) as examples to explore the changing cha-racteristics of acupoints from the aspects of finding the response points based on groping acupoints,the features of diagnosis and treatment and action mechanism. It is believed that Hegu(LI 4) is located on the radialis side of the forefinger,and in the changeable status according to the function of the body. While,a radialis point of the second metacarpal,is related to Hegu(LI 4) which is moving in pathological situation. The conclusion is that other acupoints may be bound up with the body function and in changeable status.
