The basic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture are rooted in the traditional Chinese medicine theory and have special characteristics that are different from modern medicine. Based on an investigation and analysis of the origin, development and evolution of the core concepts of acupuncture and moxibustion, such as meridians, acupoints, acupuncture and moxibustion, this paper argues from a hermeneutics and history piont of view that the concept of acupuncture has its own physical structure foundation or intuitive basis and has evolved into an abstract law for expressing specific human body surface stimulating effects.
