Abstract:
The dynamic character of acupoint has been observed extensively, but it is rarely analyzed systematically. The aim of this paper is to analyze the essence of this unique dynamic character of acupoint based on old and modern research literatures. Modern studies are summarized on qi and blood changes on the same acupoint at different times, in different physiological and pathological conditions and different syndrome types. On the basis of the literatures, the scientific base of dynamic character of acupoint is explored preliminarily. The authors propose that the dynamic character of acupoint should be focus on the modern theory of acupuncture and clinical treatment and modern preventive medicine, and the authors also put forward ideas and prospect on the essence, basis and application direction of dynamic character of acupoint.
