关于光明穴治疗眼疾的古代记载和现代研究

Using Guangming （GB37） acupoint to treat eye diseases：from historical suspense to modern clini-cal experiments

光明穴（编号GB37）在最早的腧穴学著作《黄帝明堂经》中即有记载，但在宋代以前的针灸学著作中却不是用于治疗眼病。宋代窦汉卿的《针灸标幽赋》将“光明”作为攒竹穴的别名，记载了它治疗眼疾的功用。受此影响，元代《扁鹊神应针灸玉龙经》误将攒竹穴的别名“光明”当作足少阳经的光明穴，在光明穴的主治中增加了治疗“眼痒”的内容。之后的针灸学著作以讹传讹，都记载了光明穴治疗眼疾。现代学者也多认为光明穴可以治疗眼疾，并通过临床研究和实验研究，对光明穴治疗眼疾的作用进行了验证。

Guangming （ GB37 ） gained its name before the writing of Huang di Ming Tang Jing （ The Yellow Emperor’ s Mingtang Classic） , the earliest work of the art of acupuncture point. However, in acupuncture and moxibustion works before the Song Dynasty, this acupoint was not used to treat eye disea-ses. In Dou Hanqing’s Zhen jiu biao you fu （Song to Elucidate Mysteries in Acupuncture Moxibustion）, Guangming was used to treat oculopathy as an alias of Cuanzhu （ BL2 ） . Influenced by this, the alias“Guangming” was mistaken as Guangming （GB37） of the Gallbladder Meridian in the Bian que shen ying zhen jiu yu long jing （ Bian Que Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jade Dragon Classic） of the Yuan Dynasty, and the symptom of eye itch was added to the indications of Guangming （GB37）. This was wrongly informed in the later acupuncture and moxibustion works, and the modern scholars also accepted it and confirmed its effect by the clinical and experimental research.
