Objective To understand the temperature of the twelve Jing-well points in healthy people of different genders.Methods Twenty-six healthy young people

15 males and 11 females

were selected for observation.An infrared thermometer was used to test the temperature of their twelve Jing-well points respectively for 3 times.The average value of three measures was found out and statistically compared.Results The average of normal temperature of twelve Jing-well points of upper limb of males was 31.12℃ and that of lower limb 29.40℃.The average of normal temperature of twelve Jing-well points of upper limb of females was 30.99℃ and that of lower limb was 30.39℃.The temperature of most Jing-well points of upper limb of males was slightly higher than that of females;the temperature of most Jing-well points of lower limb of females was slightly higher than that of males.The range of temperature variation of males was larger

but the difference was not significant（P>0.05）.Conclusion The temperature of twelve Jing-well points is lower than the normal body temperature under the healthy condition

and there was no statistical difference between male and female.
