In『 Yingshu(􃖃樞)』『, Sumun(素問)』and『 Najing(難經)』, there are differences in viewing FiveSu-point(五輸穴) and its practical application in treatment. The following conclusions are induced from these different point of views. 1. Fundamental features of FiveSu-point are shown in『Yingshu(􃖃樞)』 2. In『 Internal classic(內經)』and『 Najing(難經)』, it seems attachment that FiveSu-point is identical to the Five Elements, but there are differences in using the Five Elements sangsyang-sangguk in treatment. 3. There are clear differences between『 Internal classic(內經)』and『 Najing(難經)』in attachment of FiveSu-point and Four-seasons. Differences are shown in each chapter of『 Yingshu(􃖃樞)』. 4. Different application of FiveSu-point's various cases is shown in『 Yingshu(􃖃樞)』『, Sumun(素問)』and『 Najing(難經)』. 5. Different application of FiveSu-point in『 Yingshu(􃖃樞)』『, Sumun(素問)』and『 Najing(難經)』is due to different historical background.
