Abstract

For a long time, there have been many opinions about the location of Xuanzhong(GB39) point in the academic field. The author analyzed the location of GB39 in the main acupuncture literature in ancient times, textbooks of universities and colleges of traditional Chinese medicine after the founding of the People's Republic of China, national standards and more influential acupuncture works. From ancient times to the evolution of the location of the point, it is believed that the point should be located 3 cun above the lateral malleolus, between the tibial anterior ridge and the anterior edge of the fibula.

长久以来,关于悬钟穴的定位在学术界存在诸多看法,笔者通过查阅古代主要针灸文献及建国后高等中医院校教材、国家标准和较有影响的针灸著作中关于悬钟穴的定位,分析从古至今该穴定位的演变,认为该穴应该定位于外踝上3寸,胫骨前嵴和腓骨前缘之间。并对该穴定位出现问题的原因和时间进行了分析。.

Keywords: Acupoint; Location; Xuanzhong(GB39).
