Abstract：

By comparing the descriptions of the localization of Zhaohai (KI 6) acupoint in ancient and modern acupuncture literature and combining with anatomical localization analysis, this paper proposes that the accurate localization of Zhaohai (KI 6) acupoint is 1 Cun (寸) below the tip of medial malleolus, slightly behind it, in the marginal depression of the lower edge of the medial malleolus, and the acupoint selection should be located between the talus bone and the sustentaculum tali, with the tibialis posterior muscle in front and the flexor digitorum longus muscle behind.

Key words：Zhaohai (KI 6) acupoint; localization; anatomy

摘要：通过对比古今针灸文献中关于照海穴定位的描述，结合解剖定位分析后，提出照海穴的准确定位为内踝尖下1寸偏后侧处，内踝下缘边际凹陷中，取穴应位于距骨与载距突之间，前有胫骨后肌、后有趾长屈肌之处。
