[DU Yuzheng's interpretation of acupuncture manipulation quantification from the perspective of yizhi weishu].

(the frequency of needling depending on the therapeutic effect), its guiding role in the treatment of sinew-related diseases, and the connotations of "knowledge" and "quantity", this article proposes that the theoretical connotation of "taking knowledge as quantity" is the guiding principle for the formulation and operation of acupuncture manipulation quantification. In clinical and scientific research settings, with "knowledge" and "quantity" as guiding principle, conducting studies and practices on the quantitative-effect relationships of "acupoint-effect" "technique-effect" "manifestation-effect" and "time-effect" could improve the precision of formulation and operation of acupuncture manipulation quantification. The theoretical connotation of "taking knowledge as quantity" not only guides the formulation of acupuncture manipulation quantification, which could enhance standardization, operability, and reproducibility of acupuncture treatment, but also emphasizes the bidirectional experience between doctor and patient, which embodies the characteristics of individualized, precise, and scientific diagnosis and treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine, thereby helping to improve the clinical efficacy of acupuncture.
