China As early as 2000 years ago, our ancestors knew that there were many special sensory points on human skin. Huangdi Neijing, a famous medical classic written from the 5th century BC to the 1st century BC, has pointed out that "air pockets have different names" and recorded the names of 160 acupoints.
In Jin Dynasty, Huangfu Mi compiled the famous Chinese acupuncture book "Acupuncture A-B Classic", and discussed the names, aliases, positions and indications of 340 acupoints in the human body. In the Song Dynasty, Wang redefined acupoints, corrected his mistakes, wrote the Atlas of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Tongren Acupoints, and pioneered the research and casting of two acupuncture Tongren for acupuncture teaching and examination. Their lifelike shapes and precise carvings are amazing.
It can be seen that long ago, China ancient doctors knew how to treat diseases according to acupoints, and formed a complete theoretical system of acupoints in long-term practice. 1882, Briks discovered that there were warm spots and cold spots on the human body surface, and was known as the pioneer of somatosensory physiology.
"Like Classics, People in the Four Seas" contains: "Losing, being fat, and being connected." Therefore, acupoints are also called lost acupoints and Shu acupoints, as well as acupoints, acupoints or meridians. According to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, human acupoints have three main functions, which are not only the place where the qi of meridians is injected into the body surface, but also the place where diseases are reflected on the body surface, and the place where acupuncture, massage, qigong and other therapies are carried out. Acupoints have magical effects of "quick pressing" and "quick exorcism".
However, what is the essence of acupoints? Is it really a special structure of the human body? For a long time, people have speculated about this and can't reach an agreement.
