The relationship between acupuncture theory and clinical practice is getting problematic with the development of acupuncture clinical practice. In the paper, in view of the theoretic study itself, the reasons and the approaches to the recognition are explored. The characteristics of acupuncture therapeutic methods include the site for application and the technique method in generally. Their theoretical construction is relatively limited in the system category of acupuncture. The sites of acupuncture application are various, including vessels, the muscle regions of meridians, the intersection of skin and muscle, corresponding points and others. All of those lead to the variety of acupuncture in compliance with the acupuncture technique methods. The nearby action of acupoint is also the basic function of acupuncture stimulation, which is much related with the variety of acupuncture. Hence, it is believed that the full-dimensional recognition of acupoints and the relevant theories of meridians is the foundation to ensure their significance in clinical guidance and the theoretic supports in the innovative methods.
随着针灸临床实践的发展，针灸理论与临床实践之间的关系正变得成问题。本文从理论研究本身出发，探讨了认识的原因及途径。针灸治疗方法的特点一般包括应用部位和技术方法。其理论构建在针灸的体系范畴内相对有限。针灸应用部位多种多样，包括经络、经络的肌肉区域、皮肤与肌肉的交会处、对应点等。所有这些导致了与针灸技术方法相符合的针灸多样性。穴位的近治作用也是针灸刺激的基本功能，这与针灸的多样性密切相关。因此，认为对穴位及相关经络理论的全方位认识是确保其在临床指导中的意义以及创新方法的理论支撑的基础。
