Note: The "Kaoshen" (Spirit of the Coccyx) was established by Shennong (Divine Farmer). "Kao" refers to the tip of the buttocks at the end of the tailbone. The *Jieyao* states that among the entire body, why is it only the tip of the buttocks that has a spirit? This principle cannot be fully understood. Furthermore, it is stated that in cases of acute illness, this rule does not strictly apply. It is recorded here provisionally for future verification and correction.
