When selecting acupoints, the principle of selecting acupoints on the opposite side can be found in the works of ancient people: treating upper diseases at the bottom, treating lower diseases at the top, The important discourse of treating internal diseases externally, treating external diseases internally, treating left diseases on the right, and treating right diseases on the left. The Great Treatise on the Five Constant Policies of Su Wen states: "Those who have a reversed Qi will be sick at the top and take it down, sick at the bottom and take it up The "Ling Shu. The Beginning and End" states: "If the disease is in the upper part, take it from the lower part; if the disease is in the lower part, take it from the higher part." Ascending and descending are the basic forms of the movement of the human body's qi function. As the saying goes, "Ascending and descending, there is no organ without it" (Su Wen. The Six Principles of the Grand Treatise). This constitutes treating the upper part of the disease from below and treating the lower part of the disease from above, all through medication. Acupuncture and moxibustion and moxibustion are used to treat upper part diseases. The methods of treating lower diseases by taking them from above belong to the category of treating upper diseases from below and treating lower diseases from above. It is established under the guidance of a holistic concept based on the regulatory functions of the human body's meridians, organs, and qi organs, and is different from the usual method of adapting to the situation based on the location of the disease.
