Liang Shijie: The introduction of "eight acupuncture" has great significance for traditional Chinese medicine in understanding the body's internal organs
With its unique perspective and profound wisdom, the Reuben reveals to us the mysteries between the human body and nature, health and disease. Among them, the theory of the "eight caves" is an especially dazzling part of this brilliant pearl. As a specific group of cavernous caves, the eight jiaos not only bear the profound understanding of the nature of life of the ancient people, but also play a pivotal role in the treatment and maintenance of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
I. Origin and significance of the eight caves
The "eight acupuncture" theory was first developed in the Reuben. This theory connects the eight core tissue organs of the human body - sidney, vein, qi, blood, nerves, pulse, bone and marrow - with specific acupuncture points, forming a unique system of diagnosis and treatment. These eight organs, considered by ancient people to be the building blocks of the human body, are essential elements for life-sustaining activities.
Director Liang Shijie pointed out that the introduction of the eight acupuncture caves not only revealed the significance of the eight core tissue organs of the human body to the human body itself. It also reflects the ancient people's profound insight into the physiological laws of human body, and more importantly demonstrates the core ideas of traditional Chinese medicine's "holistic concept" and "dialectical healing." By stimulating these points, the function of the corresponding tissues and organs can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and maintaining health care.
II. The specific content and function of the eight acupuncture

Stimulating the chakra tunnel can regulate the function of the liver and spleen, and has a significant effect on treating symptoms such as complications, bloating, and indigestion.

By stimulating the middle caesarean acuity, gastrointestinal movements can be promoted and digestive function enhanced, which has significant efficacy for treating stomach pain, bloating, vomiting and other symptoms.
3. Qi can be found in the meridian: The meridian is located in the middle of the chest, which is the gathering place of the heart's meridians and the place where the qi is gathered. Stimulating the central acuity can widen the chest and relieve the qi, and treat symptoms such as chest tightness, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath.
4. Blood-related diaphragmatic node: The diaphragm node is located in the back and is the location of the bladder passage and is also the blood-related node. By stimulating the diaphragmatic acuity, it is possible to live blood and coagulate bruising to treat symptoms such as anemia and bruising.

Stimulating Yangling Spring Cave can relieve the joints and rejuvenate the muscles and treat symptoms such as joint pain and unfavorable joint stiffness.
6. Acupuncture to Taiyuan: Taiyuan is located at the wrist and is the meridian of the lung and the acupuncture of the pulse. By stimulating Taiyuan Cave, physiological indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure can be adjusted, which has significant efficacy for treating symptoms such as heart palpitations and pulse abnormalities.
7. Craniosacra: Cranio's Cave is located in the back and is a place of the bladder passage and a cave of the bone. Stimulation of Dazhu acupoint can be used for strengthening tendon and bone.

Three and eight acupuncture applications in clinical practice

For example, for a patient with chronic indigestion and swollen stomach, doctors can regulate spleen function by stimulating the central and temporal acuities; For a patient with palpitations and shortness of breath, it is possible to relax the chest and regulate the heart rate by stimulating the sacred acuity and Taiyuan acuity. For a sore muscles and bones, joint flexion and extension disadvantage, can be stimulated by Yanglingquan point and Dazhu point to relax tendons and activate collaterals, strengthening tendon and bone.
These vivid examples not only demonstrate the unique advantages of the eight acupuncture in disease treatment, but also demonstrate the flexibility and scientific nature of traditional Chinese medicine to treat the same disease and other diseases together.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
As a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, the eight acupuncture cave not only carries the ancient people's profound insight into the physiological laws of the human body, but also plays a pivotal role in the treatment and maintenance of diseases in traditional Chinese Medicine. By stimulating these acupuncture points, we can regulate the function of the corresponding tissues and organs to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and health care.

It is not only the essence of traditional Chinese theory, but also an important cornerstone of our endeavor to carry forward and develop traditional Chinese Medicine.
