Abstract: This article summarized the characteristics and rules of acupoints grouping recorded in Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine), holding that it had passed important concept of acupoints grouping, formed the embryonic form, and brought up basic grouping types including distant and proximal grouping, and interior-exterior grouping, despite the small number of involved acupoints. Besides, it also paid much attention to other factors that may influence the therapeutic efficacy of acupoints grouping. Therefore, Huang Di Nei Jing has played a crucial role in guiding the development of acupoints grouping theories.
