The role of the Fourteen meridians and acupoints model lies in helping learners fully grasp the distribution patterns of the fourteen meridians and their acupoints in the human body. It is an indispensable basic training tool in the teaching of traditional Chinese acupuncture. This model, based on the theory of human meridians, accurately marks the directions of the twelve regular meridians and the Ren and Du meridians, as well as the locations of their main acupoints, in accordance with actual proportions, enabling learners to intuitively understand the distribution characteristics of the meridian system on the human body surface. Through the observation and practice of the model, students can become familiar with the location methods, relative positions and selection rules of acupoints, laying a solid foundation for clinical acupuncture operations.

In addition, the fourteen acupoint models also play a significant role in teaching demonstrations, skills assessments, and scientific research displays. Teachers can use models to explain the direction of meridians and demonstrate acupoints, helping students establish a clear spatial cognition. The visualization feature of the model not only enhances the interest in learning but also makes the complex meridian theory more vivid and understandable. Overall, the Fourteen meridian point model serves as an important bridge connecting theory and practice in traditional Chinese acupuncture education, which is conducive to improving teaching quality and clinical operation level.
