[Song of Acupoints on the Pericardium Meridian]
The Pericardium Meridian has nine acupoints: Tianchi (PC1) is located proximally; Tianquan (PC2), Quze (PC3), and Ximen (PC4, noted as □men in text) require careful identification; Jianshi (PC5) and Neiguan (PC6) are distal to the wrist; Daling (PC7) is at the transverse crease of the wrist; Laogong (PC8) and Zhongchong (PC9) terminate at the tip of the middle finger.
[Measurement Song of the Pericardium Meridian]
The Pericardium Collateral originates from Tianchi (PC1), located one cun lateral to the nipple, three cun below the axilla; Tianquan (PC2) wraps around two cun below the axilla; Quze (PC3) can be found in the depression at the center of the cubital crease when the elbow is flexed; Ximen (PC4, noted as □men) is five cun proximal to the wrist crease; Jianshi (PC5) is three cun proximal to the wrist crease; Neiguan (PC6) is two cun proximal to the wrist crease; Daling (PC7) is located between the transverse creases of the posterior wrist; Laogong (PC8) is located by making a fist, where the tip of the ring finger touches the palm; Zhongchong (PC9) is at the tip of the middle finger, near the corner of the nail.
Notes:
[1] Tianchi (PC1): Approximately one to two cun lateral to the nipple, descending vertically three cun, located between the raised ribs of the hypochondrium; this is the location of the point.
[2] From Tianchi (PC1), slanting upwards, wrapping around the axilla, and descending along the medial aspect of the arm for two cun; raise the arm to locate Tianquan (PC2).
[3] Descending from Tianquan (PC2), to the medial side of the large tendon at the inner elbow, in the depression below the head of the transverse crease where the artery pulsates; this is Quze (PC3).
[4] Descending from Quze (PC3), five cun proximal to the posterior wrist crease; this is Ximen (PC4, noted as □men).
[5] Descending from Ximen (PC4, noted as □jian), three cun proximal to the posterior wrist crease, in the depression between the two tendons; this is Jianshi (PC5).
[6] Descending from Jianshi (PC5), two cun proximal to the posterior wrist crease, between the two tendons; this is Neiguan (PC6).
[7] Descending from Neiguan (PC6), in the transverse crease under the bones of the posterior wrist, in the depression between the two tendons; this is Daling (PC7).
[8] Descending from Daling (PC7), where the artery pulsates in the center of the palm; flex the ring finger to locate Laogong (PC8).
[9] Descending from Laogong (PC8), at the tip of the middle finger, in the depression approximately the width of a leek leaf away from the corner of the nail; this is Zhongchong (PC9) (see Figure 61).
[Text on the Kidney Meridian]
Medical classics state: The Kidney is the official responsible for strength and vigor, from which skills and ingenuity emerge.
It is also stated: The Kidneys are attached below the fourteenth vertebra of the spine. The Pericardium Meridian (Shoujueyin) is characterized by having less blood and more qi; its exterior manifestation is in the hair, it harmonizes with the bones, and opens into the lower orifices (note: original text says "San Yin", contextually referring to the connection with the lower orifices via the Three Yin meridians).
The *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) records: There are two kidneys, weighing one jin and two liang; they primarily store essence and willpower.
The *Zhong Zang Jing* (Inner Organs Classic) states: The Kidney is the residence of spirit and mind, and the root of life and nature.
Zhang Jiebin stated: There are two kidneys, shaped like kidney beans, curved and adjacent to each other, attached to both sides of the spine, separated from each other by one cun and five fen. They are wrapped externally by yellow fat and have two ligaments each. The upper ligament connects to the Heart, and the lower ligament tends toward the great bone below the spine. At the end of the spinal bone, approximately half a hand's length, there are two acupoints through which the Kidney ligaments pass. These ascend into the spinal cord, reach the brain, and connect to the Sea of Marrow (see Figure 62).
