The Fourteen Meridian Point model is an intuitive tool used in traditional Chinese acupuncture teaching and meridian research. The model marks the locations of the fourteen meridians in the human body and their main acupoints, helping learners understand the direction of meridians and the rules of point selection. To bring out its teaching effect, the correct operation steps are of great significance.

The operation steps are as follows

First of all, before use, the integrity of the model should be checked to ensure that the meridian markers and acupoint positions are clear and correct. When necessary, a book of acupoints can be used in combination to ensure the accuracy of the location.

Secondly, during the teaching process, according to the course arrangement, the direction of the meridians can be demonstrated in sequence from the head to the feet or from the upper limbs to the lower limbs, and the locations and selection methods of key acupoints can be pointed out. Teachers can help students build spatial memory by positioning with their fingers and explaining with language.

Secondly, when students are practicing, they should follow the principle of "selecting acupoints along meridians", first identify the meridians and then determine the specific acupoints, avoiding random pressing. If it is used for acupuncture operation training, simulated needle insertion can be carried out on the model acupoints. Pay attention to maintaining correct posture and reasonable angles.

Finally, after the operation is completed, the model should be wiped clean to avoid prolonged exposure to strong light or damp environments, so as to extend its service life.

Through standardized operation steps, the Fourteen meridian point model can not only improve teaching efficiency but also help learners accurately master the knowledge of meridians and acupoints in practice.
