Objective : I tried to turn out the fact that acupuncture treatment was originated from the sentences in 『Yihapjinsaron of Somun(素問·離合眞邪論)』Method : I analyze the sentences in 『Yihapjinsaron of Somun(素問·離合眞邪論)』 by comparing the ponies on it and acupuncture books, Yi Ceon(李梴)’s 『Medical beginner’s book(醫學入門)』.
Conclusion : Making this research, I discovered Du Taesa(竇太師) primarily called it ‘14 finger strengthing-eliminating treatment methods(手指補瀉法)’ in his book, 『Acupuncture Guidance(鍼灸指南)』 and he made full use of it in acupuncture clinic.
Seo Bong(徐鳳) & Go Mu(高武) cited the 14 methods in their works, 『Acupuncture Completement(鍼灸大全)』 & 『Acupuncture Essence(鍼灸節要聚英)』, but they did not state their own views that this 14 methods ware derived from 『Somun(素問)』.
Conclusion : I knew great acupuncture specialists and Yi Ceon(李梴) finally regarded the sentences in 『Somun(素問)』 as basic & complementary acupuncture techniques of 『Acupuncture Guidance(鍼灸指南)』 in their works. They hoped to let many acupuncture clinicians use the finger strengthing-eliminating treatment methods more often.
