The paper summarizes the valuable experience of the famous teachers of all generations in the teaching & research room of meridians and acupoints of Beijing University of CM. The shortcomings are presented when the acupoints are explained in accordance with the flowing route of meridians in classroom teaching of Science of Meridians and Acupoints. Hence, it is proposed that the acupoint names should be interpreted specially for the acupoints distributed on the same meridians or adjacent ones. It is suggested to emphasize the correlation of each acupoint with its adjacent ones from the perspective of the cultural connotation of acupoint names, and then, the differences and similarities in their clinical indications can be analyzed. Eventually, a new approach to the classroom teaching of Science of Meridians and Acupoints may be provided to guide the excavation of traditional cultural connotation and establish the cultural self-confidence and professional identity.
总结北京中医药大学经络腧穴学教研室历代教师名家在实践教学中宝贵经验，针对《经络腧穴学》课堂中按经逐穴讲解的不足，提出在同经或多经相邻分布腧穴中应重视穴名解教学思想的运用。从穴名文化内涵角度，注重穴位及其邻近穴位的相关性，进而分析其临床主治的异同，以期为《经络腧穴学》课程教学提供思路，引导加强对传统文化内涵挖掘，建立文化自信和专业认同。.
