Deqi, an important component of the traditional theory of acupuncture and moxibustion, is the key factor in determining clinical\r\ntherapeutic effect of acupuncture. In this paper, based on the digging up, arrangement, and in-depth analysis of the famous\r\ncontemporary Chinese acupuncturists� perspectives of deqi, the authors summarize the concept and manifestation, as well as the\r\nproperties of deqi, and correlativity of deqi with acupuncture manipulation through reviewing modern clinical research. Proposals\r\nfor more scientific and standardized acupuncture research are introduced to reexamine and restore the implication of deqi in\r\ncombination with the clinical practice.
