To search ancient literature and Chinese medicine references, consult the modern humanities research achievement, and discuss the meridians theories such as "going and coming", "going along and against", "acupuncture method of reinforcing and reducing", and "deficiency and excess" etc. the results show that the ancient's space and time idea, meridian qi moving are manifested in meridian theory, and play an important role in "the unity of heaven and humanity". The pulse and circulation of meridian qi can be checked by the method of "waiting for qi arriving", and the acupuncture method of reinforcing and reducing is applied due to the "waiting for qi arriving", in order to promote qi in line with time. Nowadays, compared with ancient method, the acupuncture method of reinforcing and reducing in teaching material is lack of the time factor.
通过查阅古代文献和中医典籍，参考现代人文研究成果，探讨经络理论中的“往来”“顺逆”“补泻针法”“虚实”等内容。结果表明，古人的时空观念、经气运行在经络理论中得以体现，并在“天人合一”中发挥重要作用。经气的脉象和循行可通过“候气至”的方法来查验，补泻针法因“候气至”而施用，以促使气与时间相符。如今，与古代方法相比，教材中的补泻针法缺乏时间因素。
