Abstract

In addition to the well-known thirteen ghost points in Qianjin Fang (Important Formulas worth a Thousand Gold Pieces), "XU Qiu-fu's thirteen ghost points" is recorded in other medical books. The contents of "XU Qiu-fu's thirteen ghost points" are not exactly same among these medical books, which mainly focus on the nomination and selection of the ghost points. Even though, there are many similarity when compared with the thirteen ghost points in Qianjin Fang in terms of acupoint selection, acupoint location and the sequence of needle insertion, as well as the therapeutic methods. The authors believe that "XU Qiu-fu's thirteen ghost points" is actually adapted based on the framework of the thirteen ghost points in Qianjin Fang.

除了为人所熟知的《千金方》十三鬼穴外,在其他医籍中还记载有“徐秋夫十三鬼穴”。医籍中记载的“徐秋夫十三鬼穴”内容并不完全相同,主要表现在鬼穴名和选穴上。不同的“徐秋夫十三鬼穴”皆与《千金方》十三鬼穴有诸多相似之处,主要表现为部分选穴相同或位置相近、进针顺序一致,在治法上亦有相通之处。笔者以为“徐秋夫十三鬼穴”实际上是以《千金方》十三鬼穴为框架进行的改编。.

Keywords: XU Qiu-fu; XU Qiu-fu′s thirteen ghost points; thirteen ghost points in Qianjin Fang.
