The standard acupuncture point model is a common auxiliary tool for teaching and clinical training in traditional Chinese acupuncture. It is mainly used to display the distribution of meridians and acupoints in the human body and help learners with acupuncture positioning and operation training. When using this model, the following points should be noted.

First of all, before operation, it is necessary to check whether the surface markings of the model are clear and whether the acupoint numbers are complete to avoid affecting the learning effect.

Secondly, when conducting needling training, one should strictly follow the teaching norms, control the depth and Angle of needle insertion, and avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the model material. For repeatedly used models, it is recommended to choose dedicated training needles to reduce the expansion of holes or damage to the epidermis caused by needling.

Secondly, during the usage process, it is necessary to combine anatomical knowledge, understand the basis for locating acupoints and the direction of meridians, and avoid relying solely on the surface marks of the model while neglecting theoretical learning.

In addition, after each training session, the surface of the model should be cleaned in a timely manner to keep it dry and prevent dust and oil stains from affecting the clarity of the marking. It should also be properly stored in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight or heavy pressure. It is worth noting that the model is only a teaching and practice tool and cannot replace clinical operations. Its misuse in non-training environments should be avoided.

Through reasonable use and maintenance, the standard acupuncture point model can not only extend its service life but also effectively enhance students' understanding of meridians and acupoints as well as their mastery of acupuncture skills, thus having significant teaching and practical value.
