After analyzing the contents of , we propose a concept of classical morphological view about acupoints in terms of their superficial signs and structure in Chinese ancient times. That is to say that the ancient medical experts' understanding about acupoints contain locality, layers and variability. These 3 aspects were applied to the classification and location of acupoints, as well as to the clinical treatment in the ancient times. Furthermore, the classical view about acupoints also contains the ideas of Shou-Xing (, keeping paying attention to needling the local acupoints only in the light of the focus) and Shou-Shen (, keeping paying attention to both the related acupoints and appropriate manipulations in the light of pattern identification of symptoms and signs as well as the patients' physical constitutions) in performing acupuncture treatment. Owing to the influence of the idea of Shou-Shen, the classical view about the signs and structure of acupoints presented a weakening trend gradually in ancient Chinese medical circle.
在分析了……的内容后，我们从中国古代穴位的体表征象和结构方面提出了一种经典形态学观点的概念。也就是说，古代医学专家对穴位的认识包含部位、层次和变异性。这三个方面被应用于古代穴位的分类、定位以及临床治疗。此外，经典的穴位观点在进行针刺治疗时还包含守形（仅根据病位关注局部穴位针刺）和守神（根据症状体征的辨证以及患者体质，既要关注相关穴位又要注重适当的手法）的理念。由于守神观念的影响，中国古代医学界关于穴位征象和结构的经典观点逐渐呈现出弱化趋势。
