黄帝曰∶手少阴之脉独无 ,何也?岐伯曰∶少阴,心脉也。心者五脏六腑之大主也,精神之所舍也,其
藏坚固,邪弗能容也。容之则心伤,心伤则神去,神去则死矣。故诸邪之在于心者,皆在于心之包络。包络者,
心主之脉也,故独无 焉。黄帝曰∶少阴独无 者,不病乎?岐伯曰∶其外经病而藏不病,故独取其经于掌后

〔窦〕问同人寸法?答曰∶以中指大指相屈如环,取内侧交两角为寸。
上窦汉卿取中指内侧为同身寸者,大法也。若取头部膺 部腹部同身寸,又各有活法,不可执一也。其
头部法,前发际至后发际,通长一尺二寸。取法以软篾直鼻,从前发际贴肉量至后发际截之,却将此篾折
为十二分度,则其十二分度之一分,乃头部同身寸之一寸也。其膺 部法,自天突穴至膻中穴,通长六寸
八分。取法亦以软篾从缺盆中间天突穴宛宛中贴肉量至直两乳中间膻中穴截之,折为六分八厘度,则其六
分八厘度之一分,乃膺 部同身寸之一寸也。其腹部法,自鸠尾至脐下,通长八寸。取法亦以软篾从鸠尾
蔽骨端贴肉量至脐中央截之,折为八分度,则其八分度之一分,乃腹部同身寸之一寸也。量腹部同身时,
宜正卧。针灸亦然。

Yellow Emperor asked: Why does the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian uniquely lack a Xi-Cleft point? Qibo answered: Shaoyin refers to the Heart Pulse. The Heart is the great master of the five zang and six fu organs, the residence of the spirit. Its viscera are solid and resistant, so evil pathogens cannot accommodate within it. If they do accommodate, the Heart will be damaged; if the Heart is damaged, the spirit departs, and death ensues. Therefore, any evil pathogen affecting the Heart actually affects the Pericardium. The Pericardium is the pulse of the Heart Master, hence the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian uniquely lacks a Xi-Cleft point. Yellow Emperor asked: Does the Shaoyin meridian never get sick because it lacks a Xi-Cleft point? Qibo answered: Its exterior meridian may be diseased while the interior viscera remain healthy. Therefore, treatment only takes points at the end of the sharp bone behind the palm. The entry, exit, flexion, extension, and speed of flow of other meridians are all similar to the course of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart and Hand-Jueyin Pericardium meridians. (From *Lingshu: Xike Chapter*)

Actually, looking at standard texts, there is no "Qingling" on the Heart channel at elbow+3cun. There is *Qingling* (BL8) on the back. There is *Jianyu* (LI15). There is *Quze*.

Dou asks: How to determine the "Tong Ren" (same-person) cun measurement? Answer: Flex the middle finger and thumb into a ring, and take the distance between the two inner angles of intersection as one cun.
The method of Dou Hanqing taking the inner side of the middle finger as the Tong Shen Cun is the general principle. However, for the head, chest, and abdomen, there are flexible methods, and one should not adhere rigidly to a single rule.
For the head: From the anterior hairline to the posterior hairline is one chi two cun. To measure, use a soft reed placed straight against the nose, measuring from the anterior hairline along the skin to the posterior hairline, then cut. Fold this reed into twelve equal parts. One part equals one cun of the Tong Shen Cun for the head.
For the chest: From Tiantu (CV22) to Danzhong (CV17) is six cun eight fen. To measure, use a soft reed from the center of the clavicular fossa at Tiantu, measuring along the skin to Danzhong (center between the breasts), then cut. Fold this reed into sixty-eight parts (six cun eight fen). One part equals one cun of the Tong Shen Cun for the chest.
For the abdomen: From Jiutui (CV15) to below the umbilicus is eight cun. To measure, use a soft reed from the end of the xiphoid process at Jiutui, measuring along the skin to the center of the umbilicus, then cut. Fold this reed into eight equal parts. One part equals one cun of the Tong Shen Cun for the abdomen. When measuring the abdominal Tong Shen Cun, the patient should lie supine. Acupuncture point location follows the same principle.
