The acupoints of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian begin at Jiquan (HT1), proceed through Qingling, Shaohai, Lingdao, Tongli, Yinxi, Shenmen, and end at Shaofu and Shaochong, located on the side of the little finger.

The Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian originates at Jiquan (HT1), located between the tendons in the axilla where the pulse is palpable and radiates to the chest; Qingling is located three cun above the elbow; Shaohai is located five fen posterior to the medial end of the elbow; Lingdao is located one and a half cun proximal to the transverse crease of the wrist; Tongli is located one cun proximal to the transverse crease of the wrist; Yinxi is located half a cun proximal to the transverse crease of the wrist on the medial side; Shenmen is located in the depression at the radial border of the pisiform bone (referred to as "sharp bone" in classical texts) at the distal wrist crease; Shaofu is located at the distal end of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint; Shaochong is located on the medial side of the little finger.

[Note] Jiquan (HT1) is located in the depression between the tendons on the medial aspect of the upper arm in the axilla, where the arterial pulse is felt and sensation radiates into the chest; this is the location of the point. Descending from Jiquan towards the elbow, at three cun above the elbow, with the arm extended and raised, the point Qingling is located. Descending from Qingling to the medial aspect of the elbow, lateral to the large bone after the joint, five fen above the medial end of the elbow, i.e., at the head of the transverse cubital crease, with the elbow flexed and facing the head, the point Shaohai is located. Descending one cun and five fen from Shaohai, the point Lingdao is located. Descending five fen from Lingdao, along the lateral side of the wrist in the depression one cun proximal to the transverse crease, the point Tongli is located. Moving five fen medially from Tongli, within the vessel at the wrist, five fen proximal to the transverse crease, the point Yinxi is located. From Yinxi to the depression at the end of the sharp bone (pisiform) at the distal wrist crease, the point Shenmen is located. From Shenmen to the distal end of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint, in the depression in the lateral interosseous space, the point Shaofu is located. From Shaofu to the medial side of the little finger, midway between the tip and the corner of the nail, approximately the width of a leek leaf, the point Shaochong is located.

The Classics state: The Small Intestine is the official of reception and transformation, responsible for processing substances and separating them. It is also stated that the Small Intestine is attached posteriorly to the spine and anteriorly to the umbilicus. It loops upward and to the left, forming sixteen curves, with a diameter of two and a half cun, a lumen diameter of eight fen and one-third fen, and a length of three zhang and two chi. It can hold two dou and four sheng of grain and six sheng and two-thirds he of water. Furthermore, the upper orifice of the Small Intestine is located two cun above the umbilicus near the spine, where water and grain enter. One cun below this, externally attached to the umbilicus, is the point Shuifen, which corresponds to the lower orifice of the Small Intestine. Here, clear and turbid substances are separated; fluid permeates into the Bladder, while dregs flow into the Large Intestine. It is also stated that this meridian has abundant blood but scarce qi. The Nan Jing states: The Small Intestine weighs two jin and fourteen liang.
