Influence Of Wang Ji’s Theory Of “No Fixed Points For Treatment” On The Clinical Practice Of Acupuncture And Moxibustion
Abstract
Wang Ji opposed the mechanical use of “a certain point for a certain disease” and proposed the theory of “no fixed point for the treatment of disease” in his “Acupuncture and Moxibustion”, believing that the diagnosis and treatment should be investigated into the cause of the disease, the transmission of the disease and the meridians and channels, and the division of qi and blood, in order to obtain the rationale of random adaptation. Wang Ji advocated that the method of acupuncture should be decided according to the specific situation of the patient, and this academic thought is consistent with the main theme of Chinese medicine’s diagnosis and treatment, and the theoretical ideas corresponding to various fields have been developed around the theory of “no fixed point for treating disease”, which has had a crucial impact on the clinical treatment of acupuncture.
