Method : I analyze the sentences in "Yihapjinsaron of Somun(素問 離合眞邪論)" by comparing the ponies on it and acupuncture books, Yi Ceon(李梴)'s "Medical beginner's book(醫學入門)". Conclusion : Making this research, I discovered Du Taesa(竇太師) primarily called it '14 finger strengthing-eliminating treatment methods(手指補瀉法)' in his book, "Acupuncture Guidance(鍼灸指南)" and he made full use of it in acupuncture clinic. Seo Bong(徐鳳) & Go Mu(高武) cited the 14 methods in their works, "Acupuncture Completement(鍼灸大全)" & "Acupuncture Essence(鍼灸節要聚英)", but they did not state their own views that this 14 methods ware derived from "Somun(素問)".
