摘　　要：通过与英国本地针灸师的口述史访谈,回顾发生在20世纪下半叶英国社会的"针刺热",试图从中展现英国中医热背后的历史推动力,尤其是使其走入寻常百姓家,成为后来大众所熟识的一种"补充替代医学"的历史成因。除政治宣传外,另一个重要因素为20世纪70—80年代风行于欧美青年群体中的文化思潮。这些思潮的英国成员,出于对其父辈在二战后建立的单一生活模式及对生物医学主导的医疗体制中缺陷和霸权的不满,开始向作为西方"他者"的"东方传统"寻求智慧和解决问题的答案。在这个过程中,他们按照自身所需,将东方的传统医学和针灸理论与彼时在英国发展兴盛的心理治疗手段相结合,逐渐形成了一套面向当代西方社会健康需求的"西式中医针刺"体系。On the basis of the interviews with local British acupuncturists,this paper reviews the acupuncture craze that occurred in British society in the second half of the 20th century.At that time,traditional Chinese medicine was introduced into the general population and then was recognized as an“alternative medicine”.The author attempts to show that the historical impetus behind this fever consists of not only political publicity,but also an important driving force,that is,the Counterculture Movement.Such cultural movement was prevalent in the British society among local youth groups in the 1970s and 80s.Dissatisfied with the universal model that had been firmly established by their parents’generation after the Second World War,and the defect and supremacy of the biomedical-dominated medical system,members of the Counterculture began to turn to the East for its“traditions”—the“Other”to the Western modernity—for wisdom and answers to then current social problems in Britain.In this process,they integrated theories from traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture with psychological knowledge and therapeutic tools that were then flourishing in the UK to develop a system of“Western-style Chinese acupuncture”for the health needs of the contemporary British society.
