梳理《针灸甲乙经》卷三腧穴的相关内容

提出了腧穴古典形态观概念。总结认为

在腧穴的古典形态观视角下

腧穴形态具有区域性、层次性、活动性3个特性;腧穴形态应用于腧穴类编、腧穴定位和指导针刺3个方面。腧穴的古典形态观还与针刺守形、守神理论相互影响;受针刺守神理论影响

腧穴的古典形态观有弱化趋势。After analyzing the contents of Volume Ⅲ of A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion

we propose a concept of classical morphological view about acupoints in terms of their superficial signs and structure in Chinese ancient times.That is to say that the ancient medical experts' understanding about acupoints contain locality

layers and variability.These 3 aspects were applied to the classification and location of acupoints

as well as to the clinical treatment in the ancient times.Furthermore

the classical view about acupoints also contains the ideas of Shou-Xing(守形

keeping paying attention to needling the local acupoints only in the light of the focus)and Shou-Shen(守神

keeping paying attention to both the related acupoints and appropriate manipulations in the light of pattern identification of symptoms and signs as well as the patients' physical constitutions)in performing acupuncture treatment.Owing to the influence of the idea of Shou-Shen

the classical view about the signs and structure of acupoints presented a weakening trend gradually in ancient Chinese medical circle.
