The WHO point standard wèi shēng zǔ zhī · WHO 腧穴标准

In 2008 the WHO published Standard Acupuncture Point Locations in the Western Pacific Region, giving internationally agreed locations for 361 points. It is the reason a practitioner in Germany and one in Korea can point to the same spot and mean the same thing.

This matters for more than tidiness: it is the precondition for comparing research results across countries.

2008 年世界卫生组织发布《标准针灸穴名定位(西太平洋地区)》,为 361 个腧穴给出国际一致的定位。正因为如此,德国与韩国的执业者指向同一点时说的才是同一件事。

这不仅是整齐与否的问题:它是跨国比较研究结果的前提。
