講解了針灸的演變歷史、診療過程以及針灸所能醫(yī)治的疾病和其原理猜想，并指出針灸作為中華

優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化的一個(gè)符號(hào)己經(jīng)擁有世界范圍內(nèi)的影響力，使學(xué)生在獲得對(duì)￥1炙的基本認(rèn)識(shí)之余還

能夠感受傳承千年的中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化的魅力。

［Why］本板塊的語篇通過對(duì)針灸的介紹，旨在幫助學(xué)生了解博大精深的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)學(xué)，堅(jiān)定文化

療過程中采取的傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī)望、聞、問、切等診療方法，以及相關(guān)的醫(yī)學(xué)名詞，如“經(jīng)脈”“穴位”

等；接著說明針灸不僅可以診治身體疾病，對(duì)一些心理問題甚至不良嗜好也有一定作用；最后指

出雖然針灸背后的醫(yī)學(xué)原理還沒有統(tǒng)一的結(jié)論，但其對(duì)傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī)乃至世界醫(yī)學(xué)都有著獨(dú)特貢獻(xiàn)和

深遠(yuǎn)影響。文章主題明確，詳略得當(dāng)；作者運(yùn)用簡(jiǎn)潔明了的語言說明了針灸的神奇之處。
