Huiyang (BL35) is beside the coccyx, completing the discussion of the second line of back points. Again, opening three cun lateral to the spine, below the second vertebra is Fufen (BL17). Below the third vertebra is Posu (BL42), below the fourth is Gaohuang (BL43), below the fifth is the esteemed Shen Tang (BL44), below the sixth is Ge Guan (BL45), the ninth is Hun Men (BL47), the tenth is Yang Gang (BL46), the eleventh has Yi She (BL48), the twelfth Wei Cang (BL49) is clearly divided, the thirteenth Huang Men (BL52) is upright, the fourteenth Zhi Shi (BL53) needs no further discussion, the nineteenth is Bao Huang (BL55), the twentieth is Zhi Bian (BL54), the three lines of back points are evenly distributed. Again, taking points from the lower buttock region, Chengfu (BL36) resides in the depression and governs treatment. Fuxi (BL38) is six fen below Chengfu (BL36). Weiyang (BL39) is one cun six fen below Chengfu (BL36). Yinmen (BL37) extends six cun below Chengfu (BL36), located between the two tendons on the lateral aspect of the thigh. Weizhong (BL40) is in the center of the popliteal crease. Three cun below this, seek Heyang (BL37). Chengjin (BL56) is seven cun above the heel, located in the center of the gastrocnemius muscle. Chengshan (BL57) is in the fleshy gap below the gastrocnemius. Feiyang (BL58) is seven cun above the external malleolus. Fuyang (BL59) is three cun above the external malleolus. Kunlun (BL60) is in the central depression behind the heel. Pucan (BL61) is also below the ankle bone. Shenmai (BL62) spreads five fen below the ankle. Jinmen (BL63) is one cun below Shenmai (BL62). Jinggu (BL64) is measured at the lateral bony margin. Shugu (BL65) is in the depression behind the metatarsophalangeal joint. Tonggu (BL66) is strong in the depression before the joint. Zhiyin (BL67) is on the side of the little toe. Thus, the details of the Foot-Taiyang points are fully explained.
