The Lieque (列缺) acupoint is located on the lateral aspect of the wrist, proximal to it. To locate it, cross the hands, and the point lies in the depression between the tendons at the tip of the index finger when placed over the radial styloid process. It is effective in treating hemi-cephalgia (one-sided headache) and generalized numbness due to wind-bi syndrome. It also treats frequent accumulation of phlegm and saliva rising upward, and trismus (lockjaw) where the teeth are clenched shut. If one understands the techniques of tonification and sedation, the cure will follow immediately upon needling.

The principle regarding sitting directions for acupuncture and moxibustion in the four seasons should follow the natural order of the seasons. The directions of East, South, West, North, and the four diagonal corners (Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest) are used to welcome the vital qi (Sheng Qi), which is rooted in the laws of Heaven.
Note: [1] Regarding the principles of avoiding unfavorable directions for acupuncture and moxibustion, *Yixue Rumen* (Introduction to Medicine) states: "In spring, sit facing West (back to East); in summer, sit facing North (back to South); in autumn, sit facing East (back to West); in winter, sit facing South (back to North)."
[2] These statements all contradict the direction of the vital qi of the four seasons and should not be followed as a standard.
[3] One should instead face East in spring, South in summer, West in autumn, and North in winter. During the four months when Earth is prosperous (the last month of each season), one should face the four diagonal corners to welcome the vital qi. This conforms to the heavenly principle and follows nature, which is correct.
