it is recognized that the therapeutic indications of Fenglong (ST 40) were recorded repeatedly in many medical works of the Qin and Han dynasties; and the treatments mostly focus on "upward reversion of
qi
". In
Huangdi Mingtang Jing
(
Yellow Emperor's Mingtang Classic
)
a part of symptoms were re-described textually
which affects the understanding on the indications of Fenglong (ST 40) in the medical works of the later generations. On the basis of the construction of phlegm theory in the Sui and Tang dynasties
the scholars of Song
Jin and Yuan dynasties had placed the emphasis on the relationship between phlegm and
qi
movement. In acupuncture works by
Dou Hanqing
Fenglong (ST 40) was selected in treatment of phlegm dampness and phlegm-induced asthma
which is also based on the pathogenesis
"upward reversion of
qi
"
rather than "phlegm" itself. This view can be understood by the proof of "reducing Zusanli (ST 36) for eliminating wind". The relationship between Fenglong (ST 40) and phlegm was emphasized in
Yulong Ge
(

) and

(

)
after which
the understanding
" Fenglong (ST 40)
the key point for phlegm disorders"
had been formed gradually since the Ming dynasty. The formation and evolution of the therapeutic indications of Fenglong (ST 40) are influenced comprehensively by the errors in textual duplication
