Analysis and reflection on characteristics of international communication of acupuncture and moxibustion popular in the West

随着中医针灸在西方传播,西方世界对针灸的研究不断深入,逐渐形成了西方式针灸的概念。西方式针灸可分为西方国家持续传承与创新发展的中国式针灸、结合西方文明知识体系的西医针灸(如干针疗法、电针疗法),以及在西方国家重新阐发的基于中国古代传统的古典式针灸(如法国时空针灸、英国五行针灸)。通过考察中医针灸在西方本土化的发展情况,介绍几种西方式针灸的发展历史及知识体系,提出西方式针灸通过医院诊所、学术著作、社会组织和教育培训等途径在世界范围传播推广。加强对西方式针灸的关注,可为国内针灸发展提供世界视野,促进世界针灸体系的学术繁荣和技术进步。
