Abstract: As an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture has been transmitted to wider areas around the world. The translation research of it is gaining more and more attention. This article makes a tentative review of the research on the translation of acupuncture between 1987 and 2017 on the basis of the relevant papers in CNKI. It analyzes the achievements of the papers in the following aspects—who were the researchers, how many papers have been published, where were the papers published, what kind of books and dictionaries have been written, how many subjects have been studied, etc. On the other hand, this article discusses the weaknesses of the study from the perspective of the standardization of the translation of acupuncture, the systematization of the research, the cultural transmission in translation, the education of professional translators, and the lack of the general literature survey. It is hoped that this article would present an overview of the translation of acupuncture in the past three decades, enhance the quality of future researches, and facilitate the development and transmission of acupuncture.
