Acupoint classification, distribution, and 3D structure are explored from ancient Chinese texts. This research clarifies acupoint fundamentals for acupuncture theory and future innovation.

Area of Science:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Acupuncture Research
  • Anatomy and Physiology

Context:

  • The foundational role of acupoints in acupuncture necessitates a clear understanding of their structure and function.
  • Classical Chinese medical texts, including the Huangdi Neijing, provide rich discussions on acupoint theory.

Purpose:

  • To extract and analyze the classification, distribution, and structural concepts of acupoints from key historical Chinese medical literature.
  • To elucidate the principles governing acupoint distribution and their three-dimensional nature.

Summary:

  • Acupoints are categorized into meridian and extra points, with meridian points further divided into four types (maishu, gukong, qixue, muxue).
  • Acupoint distribution follows joint convergence rules, with density correlating to joint size and functional complexity.
