ABSTRACT

At present, the science of acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine faces to the "difficult circumstances at home and abroad", which needs to be deeply reflected in view of theoretic study. By analyzing the reasons of the difficulties in acupuncture-moxibustion theory and collecting the problems arising from the recognition, understanding and application of acupuncture-moxibustion, the four aspects of the countermeasures are proposed, i.e. strengthening the self-construction of acupuncture-moxibustion theory, intensifying the education and inheritance of acupuncture-moxibustion theory, enhancing the guarantee of the relevant policy mechanism and intensifying the thinking of acupuncture-moxibustion theory. It is believed that the most important, the most basic and the most urgent task is to give intensive consideration to the construction of acupuncture-moxibustion theory in the overall situation of the cause development of acupuncture-moxibusiton at present. Only by constantly consolidating theoretical support and insisting on inheritance and innovation, can the sustainable development of acupuncture-moxibustion medicine and health be promoted.
