Abstract

Master DOU Han-qing is one famous acupuncturist in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties of China. In consideration of his newly neatened works DOU Taishi Zhenjing (Master DOU's Canon of Acupuncture,《》), Zhenjiu Jicheng (Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion,《》) and Panshijin Zhici Michuan (Panshijin Secretly Bequeathed Techniques of Straight Needling,《》) which were not paid enough attention in the past, we make a systematic and comprehensive summary about his academic achievements in the present paper. There are six main aspects about Dou's academic achievements: blending the essence of sages' acupuncture theories and clinical experience, correcting predecessors' mistakes; innovating the needlingmethods; expanding the clinical applications of acupoints and paying attention to combination of meridian acupoints and extra-points in clinical practice; inheriting and developing acupuncture prescriptions in the Song Dynasty, creating new diagnostic and treatment modes; initiating needling techniques of various schools in the Ming Dynasty; and describing the contents of acupuncture and moxibustion in the form of odes. Moreover, we also put forward some of our enlightenments and considerations about DOU Han-qing's academic achievements.

由于《窦太师针经》《针灸集成》《盘石金直刺秘传》三书的重见于世, 故对窦汉卿学术成就进行更加系统全面的归纳总结。窦氏学术成就主要有六大方面:融汇先贤之要, 厘正前人之误;刺法创新;穴法创新;继承发展宋代针方, 创立针灸诊疗模式;启发明代诸家针法;以“赋”载道。最后, 立足于现代, 对窦汉卿学术成就的启示意义进行了总结。.
