Cases in the treatment group were treated with needling Yangming method, whereas cases in the control group were treated with traditional acupuncture method. The treatment was done once a day in both groups（6 times a week） for a total of 6 weeks. Then the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated before and after treatment using the House-Brackmann（H-B） scale and scores of signs and symptoms. Results： After 2 weeks of treatment, patients in the treatment group obtained a better H-B score and recovery rate than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. After 4 weeks of treatment, the H-B score, scores of signs and symptoms and recovery rate in the treatment group were better than those in the control group（P〈0.05, P0.01, P〈0.05）. After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in the above aspects（P〉0.05）. Conclusion： Needling Yangming method can obtain a faster effect, a higher early-stage recovery rate and shorter course of treatment than traditional acupuncture method.展开更多

文摘Clarifying Wang Yangming＇s thought through a study of his root metaphors of heart-mind is an important step toward explaining his further concepts of the human world. Along with the root metaphors of water and mirror, the metaphors of plant and light work together for Wang to form a coherent theoretical and practical system of xin （heart-mind）. This method is also a good way to unravel the various theories of the ＂three teachings＂ that are intermingled in his thinking. By using this methodology Wang＇s attempts to harmonize several ancient traditions of heart-mind that appear as possibly polarized to modem readers, are illuminated （though they did not appear contradictory to the Neo-Confucians）.
