Differences and relations between fourteen acupuncture methods and eight acupuncture methods.

The difference between the fourteen methods of acupuncture and the eight methods of acupuncture is that the fourteen methods have twelve characters, that is, twelve methods, while the manual eight methods have only eight methods. The connection between them is that Yang summarized the fourteen methods in the Guide to Needle Meridian as "twelve-character division method" according to his personal experience, and simplified and supplemented them on this basis, and put forward that "starting with eight methods" had great influence on the acupuncture methods of later generations. In other words, the eight methods of construction are simplified on the basis of fourteen methods. Acupuncture refers to a kind of therapy in folk medicine (acupuncture therapy) or the method of picking needles in embroidery. Acupuncture is the general term for acupuncture.
