A Study On The Theory Of Acupuncture "Shou Ji" In The Yellow Emperor 's Canon Of Internal Medicine

ObjectiveAcupuncture content account for a large proportion in Huang Di Nei Jing. Various theories of Chinese medicine are built on this later. I want to study the meaning of finding and waiting for the chance in Huang Di Nei Jingby searching the key words in it, by comparing them to each other and knowing the explanation of later scholars. Also, it is important to know it’s background and progress.MethodsThe study is rooted on the originally writting in Huang Di Nei Jing, whose version is 2005 People’s Health Publishing House "Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen, " "Ling Shu Jing" translated by Tian Daihua as the content of the substrate. I collected Su Wen, Ling Shu and their influential comment from doctors later as Li Bing, Ma Shi, Zhang Zhicong, Tamba Yuan Jane of Japan. Yang Shangshan and Zhang Jiebin, ect.The core meaning and broad meaning of finding and waiting for the chance is raised. How to do it is found as well through searching for the sophisticated word meaning, contents comparison as well as later scholars annotation. I will find the relationship between waiting the qi theory and YingWei theory by studying the relating words of them. Then I will look for the understanding of waiting for the chance of later doctors by reading acupuncture books such as Zi Sheng Jingand Zhen Jiu Da Cheng.ResultsFinishing discovery, a lot of content related to waiting for the chance in Huang Di Nei Jing. Among them, the doctor keep his mind under the needle to feel the qi is the core meaning, which is related to the Ying qi,Wei qi and Evil qi. The broad meaning is to know why and how the diseases comes, it’s effect and how to cure it by acupuncture. A few of doctors knows this way in the later age. And the word get the qi and needle feeling is more talked about by doctors in the modern time.ConclusionWaiting for the chance theory is emphasized in Huang Di Nei Jing. Waiting for the chance is a must to do during the whole process of acupuncture. Before acupunturing, the doctor is talked to adjust his state of mind. While acupunturing, the doctor must keep his mind under the needle to feel the qi so he can cure according it. The way of Traditional Acupuncture in Guangdong is similar to it. At present, the so-called get the qi is related to this, but the needling feel is irrelevant.
