After the Ming Dynasty, medical practitioners, following traditional concepts, referred to acupoints not found in early Chinese medical texts (such as Neijing, Jiayi Jing, and Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing) as extra points. In reality, these acupoints were newly discovered by acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners throughout Chinese history. In recent years, with the promotion of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, many clinically effective new acupoints have been discovered and are referred to as new points.
