Aiming at the three aspects of the academic history and schools of acupuncture and moxibustion

the ideology and culture of acupuncture and moxibustion

and the exploration of multiple methods in the research category of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion"

this paper sort out the relevant work done by researchers in the past 30 years

present research results in different categories

and summarize the existing work progress of the macro-reflection on the acupuncture knowledge system framework. It is pointed out that in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion humanities research

there are still fragmented presentations of theoretical research

the research of acupuncture and moxibustion ancient literatures lost overseas needs to be enriched

historical research rarely breaks the existing pattern of traditional Chinese medicine

ideological and cultural research is still relatively isolated from other Chinese ideological systems

and the lack of interdisciplinary exploration. It is believed that there is more research space in the humanities of acupuncture and moxibustion

and thus reflects on the development direction and paradigm of acupuncture should be considered.
