1 Scope

China's national terminology standard for acupuncture and moxibustion. It defines the general terms of the discipline - the basic terminology, the meridians and collaterals, the acupuncture points, the needling and moxibustion techniques, acupuncture therapeutics and experimental acupuncture - and it applies across every area of the field, from teaching and research to clinical practice, administration and exchange with other countries. It is a large document, around 130 pages with more than half of that given over to three indexes, because a terminology standard in this field has to be searchable in three different ways at once. Acupuncture had accumulated an extensive body of Chinese national and industry standards before this one, including the point location standard GB/T 12346 and the ear point standard GB/T 13734, but no general vocabulary tying the discipline together, and the absence showed most sharply in translation: the same Chinese term appeared in English in several incompatible forms, and a term used in a clinical trial protocol could not be relied on to mean the same thing to a reader outside China. The standard therefore admits a term on stated criteria - that it follows the naming principles current in Chinese and international scientific terminology, that it is unique, mature and in practical use, and that where a term is already fixed in an existing national standard it is adopted verbatim - and it admits at most two synonyms for any concept. Each entry carries the Chinese term and its English equivalent, and the indexes allow an entry to be found by pinyin, by stroke count or from the English. Issued on 31 December 2013 and in force since 1 December 2014.

This standard defines the basic terminology of acupuncture meridians, acupoints, acupuncture and moxibustion, acupuncture, general terms and definitions experimental acupuncture. This standard applies to all areas of acupuncture disciplines.
