N2 - Background / Purpose: To compare the anatomical features of the acupoint St36 which are considered significant in modern research and in the original acupuncture text “The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine” (1). Main conclusion: Modern research considers sensory nerves to be significant, the ancient Chinese considered the anterior tibial artery to be significant. This points to a very different perception of what is relevant to the mechanisms underlying acupuncture.
