摘要

当前针灸学科的发展呈现三种路径：第一种是专注于针灸理论与现代生命科学、现代临床医学理论的衔接与融合，推动针灸学融入现代医学协同发展的轨道（并过去），是谓“科学化的中医针灸”；第二种是坚持中医针灸独特的理论体系，不断摸索、探讨中医针灸在当代发展的方式、方法，在理论体系、诊疗技术层面探索契合时代特征的创新发展（拿过来），是谓“现代化的中医针灸”；第三种则是努力发掘古代中医深邃的思想体系，试图还原古代中医的思维、诊断、治疗、养生等一系列与生命相关的理论和做法（还原化），为今天的医疗实践服务，是谓“还原化的中医针灸”。“科学化”是现代化的重要推手，“现代化”是中医针灸发展的主要方向，“还原化”则是维系针灸学科根基不可动摇的核心支撑，三者相互支撑、不可分割。在学科建设中，要兼顾三者，才能使针灸既保留中国针灸本色，又能跟上时代发展，符合当前世界对知识体系多元化发展的要求。

Abstract

The current development of acupuncture-moxibustion discipline follows three approaches: the first approach focuses on integrating acupuncture-moxibustion theory with modern life science and modern clinical medicine theories

driving the integration of the science of acupuncture and moxibustion into the collaborative development framework of modern medicine (integrating into)

called "scientifically advanced acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)". The second approach involves adhering to the unique theoretical system of acupuncture and moxibustion of TCM

continuously exploring and investigating the contemporary patterns and methodologies for its development

and exploring the innovative developments that align with contemporary characteristics of both the theoretic framework and diagnostic/therapeutic technology (drawing on contemporary new concepts)

known as "modernized acupuncture and moxibustion of TCM". The third approach is to strive to explore the profound ideological system of ancient TCM

and attempt to restore a series of life-related theories and practices in ancient TCM

including thinking patterns

diagnostic methods

therapeutic approaches

and health preservation techniques (restoration)

so as to serve contemporary medical practice

regarded as "reconstructed acupuncture and moxibustion of TCM". "Scientification" serves as a pivotal driving force for modernization

"modernization" represents the primary direction for the development of acupuncture and moxibustion of TCM

and "restoration" provides the indispensable core foundation to sustain the integrity of acupuncture and moxibustion as medical discipline. These three approaches are interdependent and inseparable. In the discipline development of acupuncture and moxibustion

only by taking all three approaches into account

can it be ensured that acupuncture and moxibustion not only retain their authentic Chinese characteristics

but also keeps pace with contemporary advancements and meets the global demand for diversified knowledge systems.
