Principle Principle

《述而》 子曰:不憤不啟,不悱不發,
舉一隅不以三隅反,則不復也。

The Master said, "I do not open up the truth to one who is

not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one who is
not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented
one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it
learn the other three, I do not repeat my lesson.” 理:治玉也。

Criteria for identifying Acupuncture Points which can be


expected to be therapeutically useful
Reactivity: on palpation with medium pressure potentially effective points or
areas exhibit an enhanced sensitivity. The manifestations are either pain or
other unpleasant perceptions which cannot be elicited when moving away from
the sensitive area.

Ling Shu 51 (Bei Shu, On Back Shu Points):


“When locating points one presses the region to see if the patient feels sore or
if the patient’s existing pain is relieved. In this case the point has been located
with accuracy.”

Sometimes puffiness and unusual skin colorations are observable.

The location of effective points can differ from their TCM textbook location.
