Guangming Daily: Internationalization of Acupuncture and Moxibustion from Acupuncture and Moxibustion in

    Switzerland Geneva January 18, China to the World Health Organization donated copper sculpture ceremony held in acupuncture. President of the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society, President of the Chinese Society of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Liu Baoyan that the move to the global health brought the wisdom of Chinese culture.

    The earliest acupuncture "GB"

    Correct selection of acupoints is the key to obtain good acupuncture efficacy, attention for the ancient physicians. But the ancient Chinese medicine learning points, mainly rely on books and drawings, because there is no three-dimensional visual image as a reference, not only to learn to master the difficulty, but also prone to error. Therefore, the acupuncture and moxibustion copper should be born.

    "Acupuncture and moxibustion copper was first made in the Song days of the year, at the time of the acupoints national standard text" bronze acupoints acupoints by "authoritative interpretation." Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture Research Institute Huang Longxiang pointed out that the government organizations to develop Standards, acupuncture is the history of the development of national standards initiative, after almost become a symbol of acupuncture or identification.

    According to Huang Longxiang introduction, copper man was the standard height of men prevail, engraved with acupuncture acupoints of the Song Dynasty national standard of all 354 points. It can be used as a teaching aids for acupuncture and moxibustion, but also a model for examining doctors. Use, the human body in the copper coated wax, the body into the liquid, the operator acupoints into the needle. If the acupoints are accurate, then the liquid out; such as acupoints are wrong, the needle can not enter.

    Liu Baoyan stressed that the reason why the development of acupuncture to this day, and there are 183 countries and regions are in use, to a large extent, attention to standards and early stage is inseparable.

    Role can not be replaced

    "In today's acupuncture teaching, acupuncture and moxibustion copper still plays an important and irreplaceable role." LiuBaoYan said, although acupuncture acupuncture points have increased or decreased, but the basic and the original access is not. Now the market sells a lot of acupuncture model, is also the ancient acupuncture copper inheritance and carry forward.

    Why after nearly a thousand years time, the point of access is not large? Liu Baoyan that this is because at the time the development of standards, after repeated demonstration.

    Liu Bao Yan said that Western medicine to do research, often with the norm, similar to the standard value, while the acupuncture standard is not norm. What should the normal tongue coating look like? It is not norm, acupuncture points is the case, it is impossible to find a we are exactly the same norm. But it is proportional, with the scale of the way, to solve the tall and thin different people get accurate acupuncture points. "This is the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people have a solution."

    Developed countries use acupuncture generally

    Liu Baoyan said that at present, the use of acupuncture in developed countries, far higher than the economically backward countries and regions, the United States, Britain and other acupuncture use are common. For example, the United States a number of disease treatment guidelines, recommended 38 kinds of acupuncture treatment, the main treatment of various pain, there are some allergic rhinitis, pregnancy vomiting, chemotherapy and other side effects of Western medicine is not a good way to the disease, also recommended acupuncture.

    Liu Baoyan that this phenomenon occurs is a very important reason is that iatrogenic diseases, drug-induced disease, a full understanding. Liu Weihong, deputy editor of the World Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, explains that the so-called iatrogenic or drug-induced diseases are diseases caused by improper treatment in hospital or drug side effects during treatment. The more developed countries, the iatrogenic diseases, drug-induced disease awareness more clearly, the more the pursuit of natural therapy and green therapy. Acupuncture is just able to meet their needs in this area, which also adapted to the needs of modern civilized society.

    The face of "countercurrent" need self-confidence

    "World Journal of Acupuncture" editor Yu Xiaochun frankly, can not be ignored is that in the process of internationalization of acupuncture, still often encounter "countercurrent." Not long ago, Wikipedia also English pages, said acupuncture as "pseudo-science." Liu Weihong that, in addition to cultural differences and understanding of the concept of science is different, there is an important reason is that in the international scientific community and international scientific arena, acupuncture lacks the right to speak.

    Because of various factors, many of China's outstanding scientific research, in the "kept in purdah did not know" situation. In this regard, Liu Baoyan said that as Chinese medicine, one should be self-confidence, the second to self-improvement. For the efficacy of acupuncture, we must have confidence. But at the same time, we can not take the scientific data to show efficacy, with everyone can accept the method to illustrate its efficacy, which requires the wisdom of modern people, we need to work harder. Liu Baoyan that we should not only inherit the experience of learning from the ancients, but also to stand on the shoulders of the ancients to continue to move forward, and truly carry forward the traditional medicine. Next, the Chinese Acupuncture Society and the World Federation of Acupuncture will be a good effect on the acupuncture method, start a large scientific program, the principles of acupuncture elaborate. To make acupuncture can not only cure, but also why it can clear that treatment.
