The paper introduces the general situation on academic school of acupuncture and moxibustion in ancient China, the status of the modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as the existing problems in the relevant studies. It is pointed out that "academic school" and "genre" should be distinguished each other in terms of modern context. The former should refer to the school of academic theory, while the latter should be the school of clinical treatment technology. It would be best to classify the modern academic school of acupuncture and moxibustion based on the therapeutic techniques with specific characteristics for the outline, focusing on the study of the academic thought of each genre. Modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion should be more inclusive and open, "encouraging the unique academic views", rather than "restricting access to inheritance". The development of modern genres of acupuncture and moxibustion is an important driving force for the development of acupuncture-moxibustion discipline and it is ought to contribute to the reconstruction of medical theory of acupuncture and moxibustion.
阐述我国古代针灸学术流派概况、现代针灸流派现状及研究中存在的问题，指出要区别现代语境下的学派和流派，前者应该指学术理论上的派别，后者应该是临床治疗技术的派别；现代针灸学术流派的划分最好以有特色的治疗技术为纲，重点研究流派的学术思想；现代针灸流派应该更包容、更开放，要有“门户之见”，不要有“门户之限”；现代针灸流派的发展是针灸学科发展的重要推手，应当为重构针灸医学理论作出贡献。.
