ABSTRACT

Objective : The aim of this study is to find out the significance of Chongu pulse diagnosis asthe standard of measuring the result of the acupuncture on ‘the affected part of thepulse wave’ based on the literature. Method : ① The clear concepts of the ‘unaffected part’ and the ‘affected part’ were organized. ② The relation between the pulse diagnosis and the acupuncture in Hwangjenaekyungwas studied. ③ The indications of Mu acupuncture treatment(繆刺法) and Geo acupuncturetreatment(巨刺法) in Hwangjenaekyung was studied. ④ The types and changes of pulsediagnosis in Hwangjenaekyung was studied, especially based on the relation betweenSambuguhu pulse diagnosis(三部九候脈診) and Chongu pulse diagnosis(寸口脈診). ⑤ Bysynthesizing these results, the significance of Chongu pulse diagnosis as the standard ofmeasuring the result of the acupuncture on ‘the affected part of the pulse wave’ was found. Result & Conclusion : 1. When the affected part and the unaffected part are defined, it isnecessary to make clear that which one of next three definitions is used ; Firstly, ‘thebroad sense of definition of the affected part and the unaffected part of the symptom’,which contains the pulse wave. Secondly, ‘the narrow sense of definition of the affectedpart and the unaffected part of the symptom’, without the pulse wave. And thirdly, ‘thedefinition of the affected and the unaffected part of the pulse wave’, which has theonly independent standard of the pulse wave. 2. Geo acupuncture treatment(巨刺法) is an acupuncture treatment which means theneedling on ‘the affected part of the pulse wave’ based on Sambuguhu pulse diagnosis(三部九候脈診), and Mu acupuncture treatment(繆刺法) is an acupuncture treatment which means the needling on ‘the unaffected part of the symptom based on the narrow sense of the definition’. The range of the indications of Mu acupuncture treatment(繆刺法) and Geo acupuncture treatment(巨刺法) contains most of the diseases which contains Rakbyung(絡病), Kyungbyung(經病) and Ojangbyung(五臟病). 3. Chongu pulse diagnosis(寸口脈診) contains not only the range of the indications ofSambuguhu pulse diagnosis(三部九候脈診), but also most of the diseases. 4. From synthesizing these results of the study on the literature, we infer that Chongupulse diagnosis as the standard of measuring the result of the acupuncture on ‘theaffected part of the pulse wave’ is significant.
