The theory of acupoints has gone through a long process from its embryonic form to its maturity, including its gradual improvement in later generations. Starting from the acupuncture literature in different historical periods, we, in the present paper, gave some examples and analyzed the connotation of important concepts in the development of acupoint theory. It is believed that the signs of the establishment of acupoint theory mainly include the standardization of acupoints' names, the specific description of acupoint positioning, the enrichment and explicitation of the content of acupoints' indications, the highlights of the meridian theory via classification of acupoints, and the interpretation of connotations of acupoints from a clinical perspective.
腧穴理论从萌芽到成熟经历了漫长的过程，包括后世的不断完善。本文从不同历史时期的针灸文献入手，举例分析了腧穴理论发展过程中重要概念的内涵。认为腧穴理论确立的标志主要包括腧穴名称的规范化、腧穴定位的具体描述、腧穴主治内容的丰富与明确、通过腧穴分类突出经络理论以及从临床角度阐释腧穴内涵。
