Jingjin (Channel Sinews): Elaboration and Modern Application
Summary
The presentation will introduce the features of Jingjin (Channel Sinews) described in its original text in Ling Shu (Miraculous Pivot) such as their distribution courses including their knots on the passways, symptoms and indications if they are disturbed, and therapeutic methods. Further introduction will be the elaboration of the concept of Jingjin (Channel Sinews) by the scholars in the later generations and abroad. In recent several decades, JIngjin (Channel Sinews) theory has been re-emerged and studied, and was inspired and guided by it consciously or unconsciously. Detailed Jingjin (Channel sinews) symptoms and pattern differentiations were developed and also variety of corresponding acupuncture methods and acupuncture instruments were invented. Promoting the method of palpating the "sinew knots" under the guidance of Jingjin (Channel sinews) theory will help promote the characteristics of syndrome differentiation and acupuncture treatment, thereby improving clinical efficacy. It is important to apply Jingjin (Channels sinews) syndrome differentiation to diagnose and treat different diseases (mainly musculoskeletal diseases) and combine modern medical diagnostic methods to analyze and study Jingjin (Channel sinews) symptoms and syndromes. Modern clinical practice of acupuncture urgently needs a standardized syndrome differentiation and treatment system with acupuncture characteristics (different from Chinese internal medicine), which can clarify the jingjin (Channels sinews) syndrome differentiation types and identify the nature and location of the disease then use appropriate acupuncture treatment methods.

Acupuncture Treats Orthopedic Injuries And Miscellaneous Diseases without Leaving The Du Vessel
Summary
As one of the fourteen meridians, the Du Vessel plays an important role in acupuncture treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Orthopedic injuries are a common form of pain, including some difficult diseases caused by abnormalities in the Du meridian, which have a serious impact on the patient's quality of life and health. In the process of selecting acupoints based on the pulse to treat such diseases, it was found that the selected positive pulse points are closely related to the operation of the Du meridian and its intersection. Acupuncture at the corresponding acupoints will produce quick and significant effects. Therefore, exploring the special role of Du Vessel in clinical acupuncture point selection is of great significance for improving the therapeutic effect of patients with bone injuries and some difficult and complicated diseases.

My opinion after 28 years of practicing Kampo medicine in Japan
Summary
The author has been practicing Kampo medicine in a Japanese hospital for 28 years. He promotes and emphasizes the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine based on the four diagnosis and combination of ginseng and emphasizes the importance of yin and yang theory. He uses the diagnosis and treatment method of "sitting outside and guessing the inside" to achieve obvious effects and win the hearts of patients. appoint. Japanese Kampo granules are based on classic prescriptions such as "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Jin Yi Yao Lue", which are easy to take and have good curative effects. However, most doctors in Japan choose prescriptions based on the names of Western medicine diseases. They ignore the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine and do not know the importance of the dialectics of viscera, nutrition, health, qi and blood, which leads to confusion in prescribing. Therefore, there will be clinical conflicts with traditional Chinese medicine. . Let me focus on this point.
