腧穴命名的演变：基于天回医简分析

Evolution of acupoint nomenclature: on the basis of the analysis of Tianhui medical bamboo slips

天回医简中有诸多针灸理论及治疗经验的相关载述,本文主要基于医简中《刺数》等篇,针对腧穴与经脉的命名问题,对比《黄帝内经》及其他出土医籍文献,梳理其名称演变流程,探索变革的规律特点与用意;并以头面与四肢部穴名演进对比,呈现、分析其相异的变化方式;最后对比经脉命名与腧穴命名,推断各自特征背后的因素。这一初步探索,体现出天回医简的对比研究在针灸的文献解读、概念理解、经脉腧穴理论演化规律等方面的重要意义。

Many theories of acupuncture and moxibustion and treatment experience are described in the Tianhui medical bamboo slips. In this paper, based on the records of Ci Shu(Needling Methods) of medical bamboo slips, focusing on the questions on the nomenclature of acupoints and meridians, by the comparison of the descriptions in Huangdi Neijing(Yellow Emperor ’s Internal Classic) with other unearthed medical literature, the evolution on the nomenclature was sorted out and the rules and significance of such evolution were explored. In comparison between the evolution of the acupoint names on the head and face and that on the four limbs, the changing modes were presented and analyzed. Finally, the nomenclature of meridians and that of acupoints were compared to infer the potential factors of their own features. This preliminary exploration reflects the important significance of the comparative study of Tianhui medical bamboo slips in the literature interpretation, concept understanding and theory evolution rules of meridians and acupoints.
