Everything on this site is a reading experience. This page is the same content in a form you can actually use: plain tables, both languages, one row per record. Download it, put it in a spreadsheet, load it in a script, hand it to a class.
404 records · Location, meridian, special category and the classical record. Locations follow the WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations (Western Pacific Region, 2008) as commonly rendered in Chinese.
322 records · Category, nature and flavour, traditional role and safety notes. No doses, no indications, no formulas.
213 records · Classical formulas as the literature records them: composition and source. Doses are deliberately absent — they are set by a licensed practitioner.
20 records · The twelve primary meridians and the eight extraordinary vessels, with pathway and paired organ.
114 records · Long-form entries with both the English and the Chinese text, and the classical source each one is drawn from.
167 records · The terms that make TCM writing hard to read, with pinyin and the Chinese.
manifest.json lists every dataset, its fields and its record count — point a script at that one file if you want to discover the rest.

If you write about TCM, you can drop the acupoint reference straight into a post. Copy this — the widget carries its own attribution link back to the source:
<iframe src="https://lieke-ai.com/mb/data/embed/acupoints.html" width="100%" height="520" style="border:1px solid #e3e7e4;border-radius:10px;max-width:100%" title="TCM acupoint reference — Meridian Bridge" loading="lazy"></iframe>
It is a reference: locations, meridian attribution, classical categories, nature and flavour, and what the classical literature records — in English and Chinese, side by side.
It is not a treatment guide. There are no doses anywhere in these files, no indications, no protocol for using anything. Those decisions belong to a licensed practitioner who has examined a real person.
Safety notes are included where the pharmacovigilance literature flags an interaction or a population at risk. Read them before you quote a record.
These are historical and educational materials. Nothing here is a claim about what any substance or technique does to a disease.
If you have a public-domain TCM text or a dataset worth adding to this collection, tell us — the licensing works both ways.
