The paper introduces the general situation on academic school of acupuncture and moxibustion in ancient China, the status of the modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as the existing problems in the relevant studies. It is pointed out that "academic school" and "genre" should be distinguished each other in terms of modern context. The former should refer to the school of academic theory, while the latter should be the school of clinical treatment technology. It would be best to classify the modern academic school of acupuncture and moxibustion based on the therapeutic techniques with specific characteristics for the outline, focusing on the study of the academic thought of each genre. Modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion should be more inclusive and open, "encouraging the unique academic views", rather than "restricting access to inheritance". The development of modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion is an important driving force for the development of acupuncture-moxibustion discipline and it is ought to contribute to the reconstruction of medical theory of acupuncture and moxibustion.
本文介绍了中国古代针灸学术流派的概况、现代针灸流派的现状以及相关研究中存在的问题。指出在现代语境下应区分“学术流派”和“流派”，前者应指学术理论流派，后者应指临床治疗技术流派。现代针灸学术流派最好以具有特定特征的治疗技术为纲进行分类，重点研究各流派的学术思想。现代针灸流派应更具包容性和开放性，“鼓励独特学术观点”，而非“限制传承准入”。现代针灸流派的发展是针灸学科发展的重要驱动力，应有助于针灸医学理论的重构。
