3. Overview of bone density:1.5; 2. The title of Huangdi Neijing Lingshu.
Four, one fifth. Bone degree is one of five degrees [1]. Is a general numerical value used by the ancients to measure the length, width and size of normal human bones, as a basis for determining the length of meridians and locating acupoints along meridians [1]? .
Bone density refers to that in ancient times, joints were used as the main symbol, and a certain degree was set to measure the size, length, width and so on of various parts of the body [2][3]? . Later, according to its size ratio and clinical practice, it was slightly modified as the standard size of acupoint position, which was called bone measurement [3]. The Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Gudu first talked about this content [3]. Now, the commonly used bone measurement methods are as follows:
