To make clear the concept of reinforcing and reducing manipulations of acupuncture, so as to better instruct the clinical practice and enhance the therapeutic effect. Inspired by the dispute on stimulus quantity in reinforcing and reducing manipulations of the modern physicians, and on the basis of Huangdi Neijing (Huangdi's Canon of Internal Classic), relations between stimulus quantity and different manipulations were explored through studies on reducing and reinforcing experiences of outstanding modern physicians as well as the related scientific re searches. Taking references of both ancient and modern experiences, it is held that stimulus quantity can not be taken as the only index to describe the reinforcing and reducing manipulations of acupuncture, there is no corresponding relation between them. However, it has a certain positive significance on instruction of clinical practice and standardization of modern scientific researches.
为明确针刺补泻手法的概念，以便更好地指导临床实践并提高治疗效果。受现代医家对补泻手法刺激量争议的启发，在《黄帝内经》的基础上，通过对现代优秀医家补泻经验及相关科学研究的探讨，研究刺激量与不同手法之间的关系。借鉴古今经验，认为刺激量不能作为描述针刺补泻手法的唯一指标，二者不存在对应关系。然而，它对指导临床实践和现代科学研究的规范化具有一定的积极意义。
