厥阴心包九穴真，天池天泉曲泽深。 门间使内关对，大陵劳宫中冲尽。
厥阴心包何处寻，乳后一寸天池深。天泉腋下离二寸，曲泽内纹动脉寻。 门去腕五寸通，
间使腕后三寸逢。内关去腕才二寸，大陵掌后两筋中。劳宫屈无名指取，中指之末是中冲。
经曰∶三焦者决渎之官，水道出焉。三焦者，水谷之道路，气之所终始也。上焦者，在心下，
下膈在胃，上口主内而不出，其治在膻中，玉堂下一寸，两乳间陷中者是也。中焦者，在胃中脘
不上不下，主腐熟水谷，
其治在脐旁。下焦者，当膀胱上口，主分别清浊，主内而不出以传道，其治在脐下一寸，故名三
焦。又云∶上焦如雾，中焦如沤，下焦如渎。

How to locate the acupoints of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin? Tianchi (PC1) is located one cun posterior to the nipple. Tianquan (PC2) is located two cun below the axilla. Quze (PC3) can be found at the medial end of the transverse cubital crease where the artery beats. Ximen (PC4) connects five cun above the wrist crease. Jianshi (PC5) is encountered three cun proximal to the wrist crease. Neiguan (PC6) is only two cun from the wrist crease. Daling (PC7) lies between the two tendons on the posterior aspect of the wrist. Laogong (PC8) is located by flexing the ring finger; Zhongchong (PC9) is at the tip of the middle finger.
The Classics state: The Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is the official in charge of irrigation, through which water passages flow. The Sanjiao is the pathway for food and fluids, and the starting and ending point of Qi. The Upper Burner is located below the heart, inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the stomach. Its upper orifice governs intake without excretion; its treatment site is at Shanzhong (CV17), which is one cun below Yutang (CV19), in the depression between the two breasts. The Middle Burner is located in the middle of the stomach, neither high nor low, governing the rotting and ripening of food and fluids; its treatment site is beside the umbilicus. The Lower Burner is located at the upper orifice of the bladder, governing the separation of clear and turbid substances, intake without excretion to transmit waste; its treatment site is one cun below the umbilicus, hence named Sanjiao. It is also said: The Upper Burner is like mist, the Middle Burner like a fermenting vat, and the Lower Burner like a ditch.
