Acupoint Dubi(ST35), one of the commonly used acupuncture points in clinical practice, has long been equated as the acupoint Waixiyan(EX-LE5) in the academic community. By referring to the location of ST35 elaborated in the relevant literature in the ancient and modern times, we analyze the evolution of its position and expound its clinical significance of the correct positioning in the present paper. We think that under posture of knee flexion, the position of ST35 should be between the lower edge of the patella and the upper tip of the tibia, at the midpoint of the patella ligament.
笔者通过查阅古今针灸文献中犊鼻相关定位，分析从古至今其定位演变，并阐述正确定位犊鼻的临床意义，认为犊鼻定位应为屈膝，在髌骨下缘与胫骨上端之间，髌韧带正中点处。.
