Features: Acupuncture treatment for various diseases has a history of over two thousand years in China. Without acupoints, acupuncture treatment cannot be performed, and it can be said that without acupoints, there is no acupuncture. This book is divided into 4 parts and 12 chapters. The first part is a general discussion on acupoints, the second part is a detailed discussion on acupoints, the third part introduces ear acupuncture, head acupuncture, and some common acupoint songs and rhymes, and the appendix is an index of acupoint names. This book is practical, based on standardized acupoint schemes, and includes various convenient acupoint location methods, accompanied by corresponding acupoint diagrams for clinical application. For convenience in locating acupoints and ease of memorization, the book introduces acupoints in a way that disrupts the traditional order of meridian circulation, which is also the author's experience from years of teaching and clinical practice. In addition to the location, functions, and indications of acupoints, the book also includes anatomical and modern research content. This book respects tradition without rigidly adhering to it, is easy to understand, and is simple to master, making it a reference book for acupuncture teaching, medical practice, and scientific research. It can also serve as extracurricular teaching material for beginners and students.
