骨会大杼之刍议

Discussion on Dazhu for Explaining the Most Representative Point of Bone

八会穴之说始于《难经》,其中曰"骨会大杼",历代一直沿述,直至元明,有医家质疑骨会当为大椎。今大部分医书及教学用书仍用"骨会大杼"之说,余经查阅古籍资料,分别从二穴的定位、归经、主治作用及现代研究等方面进行了对比,最终认为骨会当为大杼,而非大椎。

Bahui point is first recorded in the Classic of Questioning, which is said, ＂Dazhu point is the most representative point of bone＂. History has been described along until Yuan and Ming dynasties. Then some doctors consider it should be Dazhui point that is the most representative point of bone. Today a large part of medical books and teaching books still agree with the previous view. According to the ancient books and some information, I compare the two points in some respects such as the location, meridian, major function and roodern research, etc. Eventually,the research shows that the most representative point of bone should be Dazhu, not Dazhui.
