The Yin Linking Vessel (Yinwei Mai) originates from the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel, where Zhubin (KI9) is located above the medial malleolus; it ascends along the abdomen to the breast, then up to the laryngeal prominence, connecting and linking all Yin channels, and meeting at the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel).
Note: [1] The Yin Linking Vessel originates from the medial malleolus of the Foot-Shaoyin Channel, ascending to the point Zhubin (KI9); it follows the abdomen up to the breast, then to the laryngeal prominence, reaching the Lianquan point (CV23), connecting and linking all Yin channels, and converging with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) (see Figure 88).
The acupoints of the Yin Linking Vessel begin at Zhubin (KI9), proceeding through Fushhe (SP13), Dahan (SP15), Fuai (SP16), Qimen (LR14), Tiantu (CV22), and the root of the tongue; this constitutes the pathway by which the Yin Linking Vessel connects the Yin channels.
The Yin Linking Vessel originates from the Foot-Shaoyin Channel; seek Zhubin (KI9) behind the medial malleolus; below the lower abdomen is named Fushhe (SP13); Daheng (SP15) is level with the umbilicus;
this point is three cun and a half away from the midline; moving to below the breast is clearly Fuai (SP16); Qimen (LR14) is in the second intercostal space directly below the nipple; Tiantu (CV22) is one cun below the laryngeal prominence.
Note: [1] The Yin Linking Vessel originates at the intersection of all Yin channels, referring to its origin behind the medial malleolus of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel, ascending to a specific distance,
named Zhubin (KI9).
[2] It intersects with the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Channel below the lower abdomen, three cun and a half from the anterior midline; this is Fushhe (SP13).
[3] Also level with the umbilicus, three cun and a half from the anterior midline, is Daheng (SP15).
[4] Also moving to two cun below the end of the second rib under the breast is Fuai (SP16).
[5] Also intersecting with the Foot-Jueyin Liver Channel at the end of the second rib under the breast is Qimen (LR14).
[6] Also intersecting with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) in the depression one cun below the laryngeal prominence is Tiantu (CV22).
[7) Ascending from Tiantu (CV22), below the chin, above the laryngeal prominence in the center, and below the root of the tongue, is Lianquan (CV23);
this is where the Qi of the Yin Linking Vessel emerges (see Figure 89).
Baihui (GV20) primarily treats sudden stroke, as well as epilepsy and pediatric convulsions; it also treats prolapse of the rectum due to descending Qi of the Large Intestine, and functions to lift and tonify the ascending Yang Qi.
Note: [1] Baihui (GV20) functions to lift and tonify the ascending Yang Qi.
[2] It primarily treats adult stroke, mania caused by phlegm-fire, acute and chronic pediatric convulsions, descending Qi of the Large Intestine, rectal prolapse, and other syndromes.
