Ancient acupuncture medical cases not only possess historical literary value but also hold significant clinical importance. To enhance the utilization of ancient acupuncture medical cases and to guide the excavation of acupuncture theory and its clinical application, this study constructs an indexing template for "Ancient Acupuncture Medical Cases" based on the knowledge element theory and the fine-grained indexing requirements of ancient acupuncture texts. This template includes two levels, 7 categories, 28 knowledge element data, 31 semantic types, and 15 semantic relationships.
