The significance of the antique-style acupuncture bronze figure lies there

The antique-style acupuncture bronze figure is a model of traditional Chinese acupuncture with historical inheritance and teaching value. Its significance mainly lies in three aspects: culture, teaching and clinical practice.

Firstly, on the cultural level, it originated from the acupuncture bronze figure made by Wang Weiyi in the Song Dynasty and is an important achievement in the history of Chinese medicine. Modern imitation bronze figures not only reproduce the systematic summary of meridians and acupoints by ancient medical experts, but also carry the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine culture, which is of great significance for inheriting and promoting traditional medicine.

Secondly, at the teaching level, the entire body of the antique-style acupuncture bronze figure is marked with the meridians' directions and acupoint locations. Students can directly grasp the distribution of acupoints through observation, touch and practice, avoiding the abstract feeling of learning on paper. Some of the bronze figures also have the functions of opening and closing or being filled with water, simulating the examination method of ancient acupuncture, which increases the interest and practicality of learning.

Secondly, in terms of clinical application, the bronze figure, as an intuitive display tool, can be used by doctors to explain and communicate with patients, making it easier for patients to understand the basis for selecting acupuncture points in acupuncture treatment and enhancing their trust. More importantly, the existence of the bronze figure reminds people to attach importance to the unique value of traditional Chinese acupuncture in the modern medical system and promotes the development of the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

In conclusion, the significance of the antique-style acupuncture bronze figures lies not only in recreating ancient wisdom but also in promoting the learning, popularization and clinical application of acupuncture through the combination of cultural inheritance and practical value.
