Acupuncture begins with the identification of acupuncture points. Accurate acupuncture requires the patient to have a certain body position, such as sitting, lying on the side, stretching the palm, clenching the fist, etc. One of the common methods of acupuncture is to take acupuncture points according to the natural signs of the human body, such as the tips of the two ears straight up to the top of the head to take a hundred points; another is to take acupuncture points according to the width of one or several fingers of the patient; another is to take acupuncture points according to the distance between the parts of the human body, which is specified as a certain inch, with a bone degree. Only by confirming the sign, measuring the bone degree in inches, and paying attention to the relationship between the point and the upper, lower, left, and right neighboring points, can the purpose of accurate acupuncture be achieved.
