There are the differences in the location of some acupoints between textbooks Meridians and Acupoints and Acupuncture and Moxibustion.Both of the textbooks are in the category of the"14th Five-Year Plan".The differences in acupoint location have brought some confusion for students,full-time teachers and researchers in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.In the paper,based on GB/T 12346-2021:Nomenclature and Location of Meridian Points,published in 2021,and in reference with GB/T 12346-2006:Nomenclature and Location of Acupuncture Points,published in 2006,the discrepancy in the acupoint location was systematically collated in the aspects of the expression style and layout,text expression and potential difference of location between these two textbooks,published by China Press of Traditional Chinese Medicine,People's Medical Publishing House and China Science Publishing.Based on the historical evolution and the academic controversy of acupoint positioning,the reasons of the differences in acupoint location were analyzed,the potential influences on the teaching,examination,competition and research of Chinese medicine acupuncture were explored,and the suggestions for solution were proposed.
