From the perspective of academic history, the background and evolution of "Fenglong (ST 40) for phlegm" were systematically summarized. As a result, it was found that in the early period, Fenglong (ST 40) was used for "tangible phlegm" of respiratory tract, but in the later generations, due to the comprehensive effects of various factors, the phlegm treated by Fenglong (ST 40) was generalized. In modern clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion, Fenglong (ST 40) is widely used for phlegm-related diseases. In addition, the knowledge content represented by "Fenglong (ST 40) for phlegm" showed evolution and change in academic heritage of previous dynasties. It is necessary for modern acupuncture researchers to systematically sort out, test and discriminate the habitual knowledge in combination with the background of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to promote the contemporary inheritance and application of traditional acupuncture theory and knowledge.
从学术史的角度，系统总结了“丰隆（ST 40）化痰”的背景及沿革。结果发现，早期丰隆（ST 40）用于治疗呼吸道的“有形之痰”，但后世由于多种因素的综合作用，丰隆（ST 40）所治之痰被泛化。在现代针灸临床实践中，丰隆（ST 40）被广泛用于治疗与痰相关的疾病。此外，“丰隆（ST 40）化痰”所代表的知识内容在历代学术传承中呈现出演变与变化。现代针灸研究者有必要结合中医背景对习惯性知识进行系统梳理与考证辨析，以促进传统针灸理论与知识的当代传承与应用。
