Meridian and collateral theory is the core of acupuncture theory. Simple using the syndrome differentiation system of internal medicine of TCM in clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion is difficult to reflect the core of acupuncture theories and characters of clinical acupuncture treatment. The establishment of clinical syndrome differentiation system of acupuncture should base on characters and laws of acupuncture and take the syndrome differentiation according to meridian and collateral theories as main body, syndrome differentiation according to location as key, syndrome differentiation according to eight principles as guidance, syndrome differentiation according to zang-fu theory as complementarity, and pay attention to application of acupoint specificity in clinic, so as to reflect unique character of acupuncture theory and insure the veracity of syndrome differentiation of acupuncture and efficacy of acupuncture treatment.
经络学说是针灸理论的核心。在针灸临床实践中单纯运用中医内科辨证体系难以体现针灸理论的核心及针灸临床治疗特点。针灸临床辨证体系的建立应以针灸自身的特点和规律为基础，以经络辨证为主体、部位辨证为关键、八纲辨证为指导、脏腑辨证为补充，并注重穴位特异性在临床中的应用，以体现针灸理论的独特性，保证针灸辨证的准确性和针灸治疗的有效性。
