论针刺补泻的相对特异性

为了探讨针刺补泻手法对人体的作用，通过古代文献记载，以现代临床、实验研究为依据，结合在针灸教学、临床上的体会，对针刺补泻的作用进行探讨，认为补泻作用产生的关键不是针刺补泻手法的本身，而是患者在针刺时机体的机能状况。补泻手法作用于人体，通过调气表现出补泻的效应，说明补泻效果的产生要具备一定的条件，不是任何条件下都有补泻效果，即对虚证病人可以产生补的作用，对实证病人可以产生泻的作用，补法和泻法对虚实病证均有治疗作用，但对虚证要首用补法，对实证要首选泻法。

On Relative Specificity of Reinforcing and Reducing Methods of Acupuncture

The author probes into effects of acupuncture reinforcing and reducing methods on the human body, based on ancient literature and modern clinical and experimental studies in combination with the author's experience on teaching and clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion, and holds that the key of occurring reinforcing and reducing actions is not acupuncture reinforcing and reducing manipulation itself, and it is the functional state of the organism in acupuncture treatment. When reinforcing and reducing methods act on the human body, they occur reinforcing and reducing effects via regulating Qi, indicating that occurrence of reinforcing and reducing effects needs a certain condition, that is, occurring reinforcing action on the patient of deficiency syndrome and reducing action on the patient of excess syndrome; both reinforcing and reducing methods have therapeutic effects on both deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome, but deficiency should be first treated with reinforcing method and excess syndrome should be first treated with reducing method.
