Summary

One-Needle Wonder is a practical monograph on single-point acupuncture for clinical use. First published in the 1990s and revised and reprinted several times since, this is the 2017 revised edition from Beijing Science and Technology Press, compiled by Liang Liwu, Sun Shentian, Xu Jixin, and Lu Junqing. With accessibility and practicality as its guiding principles, the book systematically organizes single-point acupuncture protocols for nearly 200 common clinical conditions, covering internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, gynecology and pediatrics, the five sense organs, and other disorders. It classifies conditions by both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medical names in a complementary way, making it easy for readers from different backgrounds to cross-reference. Each condition is given a clear point-selection protocol: most require only a single point to be effective, drawn mainly from the fourteen meridians and extra points, with ashi points also included. Every protocol specifies point location, needling method, and key treatment points, and explains indications, striving to help readers "know the method and understand its use." Compared with the first edition, this edition adds more than 50 common conditions. Most of the treatments have been validated in clinical use by medical staff and reflect the editors' long-term clinical experience; the book emphasizes simplicity, precision, and ease of dissemination, with accessible language and illustrations to aid point location. It is suitable for acupuncture clinicians, acupuncture students, and readers interested in single-point therapy. Note that acupuncture involves specialized techniques and safety risks; readers should study and apply it only with proper qualifications.

Editor's review

单穴治病是针灸里最见功夫也最实用的一路，《一针灵》把这条路走得很踏实。它不讲玄虚理论，翻开就是“什么病、取哪一穴、怎么针”，取穴以十四经穴、奇穴为主，必要时用阿是穴，一病一法、一法一穴，短小精悍，临床翻检极顺手。全书收录近200种常见病症，按内科、外科、皮肤科、妇儿科、五官科分章编排，中西医病名并列，既方便按证查穴，也方便按病查法。这本书的生命力在时间上得到了验证：初版于1996年前后，三十年间多次修订重印，2017年版又新增50余个病症，编者在耳针、体针之外不断吸纳临床验证有效的治法，多数方案都经过编者本人长期应用。对针灸从业者来说，它是一本可以放在诊桌边随时翻的“对阵手册”；对刚入门的针灸学生来说，它是建立“辨病—取穴—施术”思路的入门阶梯。当然，书中方法治在精不在全，真要用于临床，仍需结合辨证与规范操作。

Who it's for

A good fit for

针灸临床医师与中医诊疗从业者，可作为诊桌边的速查手册
针灸推拿、中医学专业学生，用于建立单穴治病的临床思路
基层医疗卫生机构人员，寻找简便易行的常见病针灸方案
对针灸单穴疗法有基础认识、希望系统了解病—穴对应关系的爱好者

Not a good fit for

完全没有医学基础、想靠看书自行扎针的读者，针刺操作有风险
期望系统学习经络腧穴理论与辨证体系的初学者，本书侧重实用治法
寻找大面积灸法、推拿、方药等非针刺疗法的读者

Reading tips

先通读第一章内科病症的体例，掌握“病症—取穴—操作—要点”的阅读路径，再按需检索
对照针灸学教材或经络穴位图谱使用，重点核对穴位定位与进针层次，避免定位偏差
遇到书中未收的病症，可参考同章同类病症的取穴思路，而非生搬硬套单一方法
临床上把有效案例与无效案例都记录下来，与书中治法相互印证，逐步形成个人经验

FAQ

这本书适合零基础的爱好者自学扎针吗？

不建议。书中给出的是具体的针刺方案，但定位、角度、深度、禁忌都需专业训练支撑，盲目自针有损伤神经、血管和脏器的风险。零基础读者可把它当作了解单穴疗法思路的读物，实际操作应跟师或在医师指导下进行。

《一针灵》有几个版本，应该选哪一版？

本书初版于1996年前后，此后多次修订，常见版本包括2002年、2010年、2017年（ISBN 9787530489796）以及2024年第5版（ISBN 9787571439378）。2017年版在旧版基础上新增50余个病症；第5版收录二百余种病症并标注文献出处。一般读者选新版更全面。

书中的“一针”是指只扎一针就能治好病吗？

“一针”指每个方案只取一个穴位，强调取穴精简、操作方便，并不等于包治或一次治愈。具体疗程、针刺频次需根据病情和患者反应调整，书中治病法多经临床验证，但仍应结合辨证使用。

书中病名为什么既有中医病名又有西医病名？

编者采用中西医病名并列的方式，便于不同知识背景的读者对照查找：习惯按中医证候思考的读者可按中医病名检索，习惯按现代诊断分病的读者可按西医病名查找，也有助于临床沟通与病历书写。
