The schematic diagram is an indispensable part of research article in life science

which can effectively and intuitively show the specific content of the article with simple composition. As an intuitive expression of the interdisciplinary subject at the early stage

the schematic diagram in the literature has gained an all-round improvement in the quality along with the deve-lopment of computer technology and modern drawing tools. In contrast

the level of the schematic diagram appears to be lagged behind in the field of acupuncture research papers. In order to improve the drawing level of this field

we took the Five Shu-points of Hand and Foot Jueyin Meridian as an example

and drew some vector diagrams of their anatomical structures including the body surface

skeleton

nerves

arteries and veins by using the Adobe Illustrator image software

through which we sum up a simple and easy-to-learn process including application skills and key points needing attention. We hope these methods can play a role in the acupuncture research in the future.
