Abstract:
Through in-depth excavation and analysis of the pricking blood therapy mentioned in Rumen Shiqin, it is found that ZHANG Zi-he's pricking blood theory is mainly derived from Huangdi Neijing. Innovative development has been carried out on the basis of "brave innovation and careful verification", and at the same time, it has been practiced and summarized clinically to form its own unique pricking blood therapy. This article systematically summarizes formation of the theory, clinical application, characteristics, and influence on later generations of pricking blood therapy in Rumen Shiqin, with a view to inspiring scholars to have a more comprehensive understanding on the pricking blood therapy in Rumen Shiqin, and providing new ideas and reference for clinical application.
