| Four Flowers Acupoints " was originated from 《Gu Zheng Bing Jiu Fang》 by Cui Zhi Ti of Tang Dynasty. Cui Zhi Ti (AD650-685), people of Na Ling, was a renowned physician of Tang Dynasty who spent his whole life to study medical science intensively. Cui has written books such as 《Cui Shi Zuan Yao Fang》 and invented the doctrine of "tuberculosis homologous" which has made great contributions to the development of the chinese medicine. However, the Medical History rarely commented on him and his medical books have also not been handed down. Even the original copy of the books were lost, the lost text was recorded in a number of ancient medical books such as ((Wai Tai Mi Yao)),《Su-Shen Liang Fang》,《Zhenjiu Ju Ying》 etc. As "Four Flowers Acupoints" were the famous moxibustion points for the ancient treatment of bone steaming and consumptive disease, they have been recorded in many ancient medical books. Selecting four acupoints in the back was called "Four Flower". Direct moxibustion can be applied in these four acupoints. Subsequently, the acupoints were positioned as two points-Ge shu, Dang shu. Modern acupuncture medical books categorize the four flowers Acupoints as extraordinary points. The positioning of Four Flowers Acupoints, recorded in various ancient, medical books are not consistent, but mainly can be divided into two. The one recorded in 《Wai Tai Mi Yao》,《Su-Shen Liang Fang》 was that the four acupoints were distributed in the shape of a diamond; while the other was in the shape of a square which was based on 《Zhenjiu Zisheng Jing》 and 《Zhenjiu Ju Ying》. Modern acupuncture medical books and articles usually contained and referenced the latter one, or even confused the two. As such, the purpose of this study is to examine the correct positioning of four flowers acupoints from the literature point In order to find out if there is any difference between the two and which one got better efficacy.The research method is to review the literatures from1983to2012regarding four flowers acupoints. The literatures were searched from the "China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database","China Academic Journals" and "China Excellent Doctoral and Master Journal full-text database, ancient medical books Search library book" electronic version "CHANT" and "family medicine" site. The statistical treatment of advanced retrieval methods used in the medical and health directory, all data entered into the computer, creating databases using the Excel program to measure the statistics and analysis, using the chart form for expression. Searching for Title, keywords, abstract, key words, the logical relationship or; the key words of four flowers acupoints, acupuncture, back-shu points, Ge shu, Dang shu. Selecting four flowers acupoints as backbone, explored through the study of the clinical literature to four flowers acupoints therapy effectiveness, feasibility, safety and give a scientific evaluation, provide a basis for a lesson from clinical studies of larger samples, and aims to further the breadth and depth of excavation and extension of the efficacy and scope of application of the "four flowers" points, so as to make the treatment more scientific and standardized.Research results show that the efficacy of four flowers acupoints therapy, but as times changed, indications of governance were different, even more dramatically the development of other new areas of clinical literature is a new tradition of medical treatment in new applications of therapeutic areas, but also the old acupoints in the new clinical research. This therapy has a wide range of applications and development. Moxibustion of four flowers acupoints therapy, to explore whether this therapy can be partial failure through regulating the balance of yin and yang and organs of the patient's body excess or deficiency, relieve or cure the clinical variety of bone steaming, tidal fever, deficiency of qi and blood, consumptive lung and other chronic diseases through the analysis of clinical literatureSince the four flowers acupoints have been positioned as Ge shu, Dang shu, both of which belong to the back shu, modern medical research is closely related to the healing mechanism back points and the location of the back shu points. The location is very close to the spinal nerve roots, the distribution law and the spinal nerve segmental distribution of the anatomically broadly in line with the surface reaction zone of visceral disease often is where the corresponding acupuncture points. Good stimulation of moxibustion on the back points, improving local tissue metabolism, role in the somatic sensory nerve endings, sympathetic nerve endings and nerves associated with blood vessels, nerve axon reflex, segmental reflex pathway role in the spinal cord corresponding period autonomic ganglia, adjust the function of internal organs, spread to the brain, and somatic sensory fibers and visceral sensory fibers into the spinal cord and related downstream conduction fibers with the brain to achieve a positive regulatory role of back points on the internal organs and body.The study found that in addition to the scope of application of four flowers acupoints gradually expanded treatment from direct moxibustion to grain moxibustion, mild moxibustion, purulent moxibustion treatment also increased from the ancient simple moxibustion extended to the acupuncture needle to pick long needle through the thorns, pricking blood, acupuncture, clinical observation of the characteristics of four flowers acupoints therapy in the application on incurable diseases.Conclusion:Throungh the analysis of the diseases adapting to modern moxibustion, preliminary findings show that four flowers acupoints therapy supplements the inadequacies of the modern use of moxibustion spectrum of disease. There are certain advantages in applying four flowers acupoints therapy in the nerve system, endocrine system and blood system has certain advantages. It just supplements the deficiencies of modern moxibustion. In recent years, with the deepening of research, the application range of four flowers acupoints continues to expand. It also applied in other diseases including migraine, paralysis agitans syndrome, depression, hot flashes, sciatica, anxiety disorders, scrofula, chest discomfort, lump in breast, intractable migraine, consumptive lung, the lung cancer drug due to side effects.
