Abstract:
The theoretical connotation and operation of Miu Ci and Ju Ci remain highly controversial at present.Traditional viewpoints mostly hold that Miu Ci targets collaterals, while Ju Ci works on meridians. Based on the analysis of the original texts and textual exegesis from Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), it is believed that both Miu Ci and Ju Ci are the techniques to puncture acupoints on the contralateral side of the body, and these two techniques were formed during the medical practice of blood-letting at early stage of stone acupuncture and developed under the theoretical framework of qi regulation of filiform needle. At the time when Suwen·Miuci Lun (Chapter 63 of Huangdi Neijing)was completed, "Miu Ci needling collaterals" and "Ju Ci needling meridians" were factitiously distinguished. Analyzing the essence of Miu Ci and Ju Ci is conducive to restoring their true representations in Huangdi Neijing, thereby liberating them from the constraints of traditional thinking and promoting their significant value of clinical application.
