The antique-style acupuncture model is a teaching and display model replicated based on the ancient acupuncture bronze figure. It integrates traditional Chinese medical culture with modern teaching concepts and possesses profound historical and artistic value. Compared with modern acupuncture models, ancient-style acupuncture models not only focus on the accuracy of acupoints but also emphasize the cultural inheritance of ancient acupuncture and the reproduction of the classic meridian system.

In terms of appearance, antique-style acupuncture models are mostly made of copper or copper-like materials, with meridian routes and acupoint names engraved on the surface. Some even restore the ancient design of "wax filling to test acupoints", showcasing the unique teaching methods of acupuncture in ancient times. Modern acupuncture models usually use plastic or silicone materials, emphasizing practicality and the convenience of training operations.

Functionally, the antique-style acupuncture model is more suitable for the display of traditional Chinese medicine culture, academic research and teaching demonstrations, embodying the essence of traditional Chinese medicine. Modern models, on the other hand, place more emphasis on clinical skills training and practical acupuncture exercises. The two complement each other and jointly promote the systematization and culturalization of acupuncture teaching.
