Features: This is a popular acupuncture poster, designed for healthcare professionals to use in disease prevention, acupuncture therapy, and teaching reference. The poster includes 361 points from the 14 meridians, 56 extraordinary points, totaling 417 points, as well as ear acupuncture and hand acupuncture points. For easy reference, explanatory text is provided in tabular form to introduce point location methods, indications, and acupuncture techniques. Since most points can be treated with moxa-cone suspension or moxibustion after acupuncture, the section on moxibustion is not listed separately. However, for some points that are only treated with moxibustion and not acupuncture, only moxibustion is mentioned under the "Acupuncture Techniques" section, as this is based on previous experience and not an absolute rule against acupuncture. For meridian point locations where there is debate, the majority opinion and clinical experience are used to determine the location, and differing views are noted under the "Remarks" section. The extraordinary points selected in this poster are chosen based on the principle of not overlapping with meridian points and having good clinical efficacy, striving for conciseness.
