Reflections on the perspective transformation of'cervical Jiaji'from morphology to function
The use of the concept of'cervical Jiaji'in clinical application and the operation of acupoint selection present a certain confusion,which mainly involves two issues,one is the relationship between the'cervical Jiaji'and the'HUA Tuo Jiaji',the other is the standard of acupoint selection,such as the number of'cervical Jiaji'and the distance of the'cervical Jiaji'on either side of the pinched spine from the spinal column,both of which are related to the perspective of acupuncture on the body surface morphology of'cervical Jiaji'.The rectification of problems arising from morphological perspective should return to the summary of functional indications.This article attempts to reflect on the definition of the acupuncture standard of'Jiaji'which excludes'cervical Jiaji'under the influence of today's morphological perspective,by analyzing the expression of related parts of'cervical Jiaji'in ancient classics,such as'Xiajing'and'Tianzhu',foot Taiyang bladder meridian and governor vessel,combining the relationship between'cervical Jiaji'and'HUA Tuo Jiaji',also emphasizes the importance of the brain in understanding'cervical Jiaji',in order to understand the limitations and constraints of'cervical Jiaji',which extended from'Jiaji',thus promoting the transformation of the understanding of'cervical Jiaji'from morphological to functional perspective.
