Abstract:
To analyze the collaborative use and separation reasons of lifting-thrusting and twirling reinforcing and reducing manipulation. Lifting-thrusting manipulation and twirling manipulation are two important contents of acupuncture methods. In traditional acupuncture and moxibustion, the two methods were used in reinforcing and reducing concert, which was mainly related to the therapeutic thought guided by the qi-blood theory and the influence of the human body structure on the technique manipulation. After the Republic of China, the separation of lifting-thrusting manipulation and twirling manipulation gradually appeared. It was related to the widespread use of "scientific acupuncture method" in later generations and the integration of neuroscience into the acupuncture treatment system.
