[Analysis of the academic features of the moxibustion of Xin' an physicians]

Xin'an acupuncture and moxibustion physicians have a lot of talented people. Their academic theories promote the development of moxibustion theory. WANG Guo-rui used acupuncture and moxibustion together in clinic, and emphasized reinforcing and reducing method. Moxibustion was performed with unique matching acupoint according to different cases. WANG Ji proposed the theory "moxibustion can cure sores, and has reinforcing and reducing method""scars block the movement of qi and do not use moxibustion when there is no disease". XU Chun-fu elaborated on the theory of moxibustion, which involved a wide range of ideas and advocated the idea of combining acupuncture with drugs. WU Qian put forward the theory "moxibustion is mostly used at acupoints on the back, and can cure multiple syndromes" "focus on the use of miraculous acupoints for the treatment of emergency diseases" "moxibustion must be treated with enough moxibustion to cure the disease". WU Yi-ding thonght that only by carefully identifying the types of diseases and using corresponding acupoints could have a very good curative effect; moxibustion had indications and contraindications, so be careful when used it; moxibustion was divided into yin and yang, also divided into reinforcing and reducing methods; sores were suitable for moxibustion and heat syndrome could also be used by moxibustion. He also believed that moxibustion was as important as acupuncture with the complementary relationship. Hence, the valuable significance of moxibustion in clinical practice is explored through the collection of the academic thoughts of WANG Guo-rui, WANG Ji, XU Chun-fu, WU Qian and WU Yi-ding.
