The Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian has eleven acupoints: Zhongfu (Zhongfu, Front-Mu Point of Lung), Yunmen (Yunmen), and Tianfu are listed. Xiabai (Xiabai), Chize (Chize, He-Sea Point of Lung), and Kongzui (Kongzui) are stored in sequence; Lieque (Lieque, Luo-Connecting Point of Lung), Jingqu (Jingqu), and Taiyuan (Taiyuan, Shu-Stream Point of Lung) are involved. Yuji (Yuji, Ying-Spring Point of Lung) extends straight out to the end of the great toe, and the collateral connects with the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian.
The Qi of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian originates from Zhongfu (Zhongfu, Front-Mu Point of Lung). Yunmen (Yunmen) is located approximately one cun below Zhongfu. Yunmen (Yunmen) is two cun lateral to Qihu, below Renying, between two bones. Tianfu (Tianfu) is sought three cun below the axilla. Xiabai (Xiabai) is governed five cun away from the elbow crease. Chize (Chize, He-Sea Point of Lung) is discussed at the middle of the elbow crease. Kongzui (Kongzui) is approximately seven cun above the wrist crease. Lieque (Lieque, Luo-Connecting Point of Lung) is one and a half cun on the side of the wrist. Jingqu (Jingqu) is located in the depression at the Cun Kou pulse site. Taiyuan (Taiyuan, Shu-Stream Point of Lung) is at the head of the transverse crease behind the palm. Yuji (Yuji, Ying-Spring Point of Lung) is where the scattered pulses can be felt raised after the root joint of the thumb. Shaoshang (Shaoshang, Jing-Well Point of Lung) is at the medial end of the thumb. If this point is needled, diseases will generally be cured.
Zhongfu (Zhongfu, Front-Mu Point of Lung) (also known as Ying Shu) is one cun below Yunmen, in the third intercostal space above the breast, in the depression where the arterial pulse is palpable, six cun from the midline. It is the Front-Mu point of the Lung (Mu implies gathering, where meridian Qi converges). It is the intersection of the Hand-Taiyin and Foot-Taiyin meridians. Needle depth is three fen; moxibustion is five zhuang. (Pi Ya states: Zhuang refers to the standard for robust individuals.)
[Indications] Abdominal distension, inability to eat, edema of the four limbs, wheezing and chest fullness, shoulder and back pain, vomiting, cough with rebellious Qi. Tightness of the lung system, lung cold or heat, chest palpitations. Turbid nasal discharge due to gallbladder heat, sweating due to wind, facial swelling, shortness of breath preventing lying down, chest heat from Cold Damage, Feishi Dunzhu (ancient term for migratory pain), goiter.
Yunmen (Yunmen) is in the depression below Jugu, two cun lateral to Qihu, where the arterial pulse is palpable. Take the point with the arm raised, six cun lateral to the anterior midline (Ren Mai). Needle depth is three fen; do not needle deeply, as deep needling causes Qi rebellion. Moxibustion is five zhuang.
[Indications] Persistent limb heat from Cold Damage, cough with shortness of breath and Qi rushing to the heart and chest, pain extending from the hypochondrium to the back, bi syndrome of the throat, inability to raise the arm, goiter Qi.
Tianfu (Tianfu) is three cun below the axilla, in the depression of the arterial pulse on the medial aspect of the arm. Locate it using the nose.
Tongren records needle four fen, moxibustion fourteen zhuang up to one hundred zhuang. (Zisheng states: Do not moxa unless urgent.) Jiayi Jing prohibits moxibustion, stating it causes Qi rebellion.
[Indications] Sudden bi syndrome with internal rebellion, liver pulse fighting, blood溢 from nose and mouth, persistent epistaxis, stroke with evil wind pathogen, tearing, forgetfulness, Feishi Ezhu, ghost speech Dunxia, asthma preventing breathing, malaria with chills/fever and vertigo, blurred vision, goiter Qi.
Xiabai (Xiabai) is in the arterial pulse five cun below Tianfu towards the elbow. Needle three fen, moxibustion five zhuang.
[Indications] Heart pain, shortness of breath, dry heaving, irritability and fullness.
Chize (Chize, He-Sea Point of Lung) is in the depression between the tendons and bones in the center of the elbow crease when flexing the elbow. It is the Water point where the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian enters and becomes the He-Sea point; excess conditions of the Lung should be drained here.
Needle three fen, moxibustion three zhuang. (Tongren prohibits moxibustion; Suwen records five zhuang.)
[Indications] Shoulder and back pain, sweating with wind strike, frequent urination with long-term color changes in urine, incontinence, pale face prone to sneezing, sorrow and unhappiness, aversion to cold and fever, wind dan, elbow contracture, inability to raise the arm, bi syndrome of the throat with rebellious Qi, vomiting and dry tongue/mouth, cough with malaria, edema of four limbs and cold arms, shortness of breath and heart pain, lung accumulation Xiben, pediatric slow convulsion.
Kongzui (Kongzui) is seven cun above the wrist. Tongren records needle three fen, moxibustion five zhuang.
[Indications] Heat disease with no sweat, cough with rebellious Qi, difficulty flexing/extending elbow and arm, hematemesis, aphonia, sore throat, headache.
Lieque (Lieque, Luo-Connecting Point of Lung) is the divergent collateral of the Hand-Taiyin, connecting to the Yangming. It is one and a half cun above the lateral side of the wrist. Shi’s method involves crossing hands; the point is in the gap between the tendons at the tip of the index finger. Tongren records needle two fen, moxibustion three zhuang. (Mingtang records needle three fen, moxibustion seven zhuang.)
[Indications] Hemifacial paralysis, weakness of hand and elbow, hemiplegia, trismus, chills/fever malaria, vomiting foam, cough, excessive laughter, epilepsy with hallucinations, carbuncles/swelling of face/eyes/four limbs, shoulder bi, chills in chest/back, shortness of breath, corpse syncope/cold syncope.
According to Suwen: Straight paths are called Jing (Meridians), branching paths are called Luo (Collaterals). The branch of the Hand-Taiyin goes straight from behind the wrist to the medial side of the index finger's end. This is Lieque, the collateral connecting Taiyin to Yangming. Some people cannot feel the Cun, Guan, Chi pulses; if the pulse is visible from Lieque to Yangxi, it is commonly called a reversed guan pulse. This indicates deficient Jing vessels and full Luo vessels. Qianjin Yi states the Yang pulse reverses and is three times larger than Cun Kou. Regrettably, Wang Shuhe did not mention this, let alone Gao Yangsheng.
Jingqu (Jingqu) is in the depression at Cun Kou. Needle three fen; prohibit moxibustion. (Moxibustion harms the Spirit/Shen.)
[Indications] Malaria chills/fever, chest/back stiffness, abdominal distension/bi syndrome of throat, cough with rebellious Qi, no sweat from heat disease of Cold Damage, heart pain, vomiting.
Taiyuan (Taiyuan, Shu-Stream Point of Lung) (also known as Tai Quan, to avoid the taboo of Emperor Gaozu of Tang's name Li Yuan) is in the depression behind the palm. It is the Shu-Stream point where the Lung Meridian pours. The classic says: Pulse meets at Taiyuan.
Commentary states: Treat pulse diseases here. Qi and Blood begin flowing from this point at dawn (Yin hour). Thus, Cun Kou is the major meeting of pulses, the dynamic source of the Hand-Taiyin. Needle one fen, moxibustion three zhuang.
[Indications] Chest bi with rebellious Qi and vomiting, drinking-induced cough, irritability and insomnia, lung distension, eye pain, green eyes with nebula/red vessels, clavicle pain radiating to arm/shoulder/back, incessant cold asthma, rebellious Qi, heart pain, hemoptysis, delirium, change in urine color, incontinence.
Yuji (Yuji, Ying-Spring Point of Lung) is in the medial depression after the root joint of the thumb, also said to be among the scattered pulses. It is the Ying-Spring point where the Lung Meridian flows. Needle one fen, moxibustion three zhuang.
[Indications] Alcohol disease, body heat with aversion to wind/cold, deficiency heat, yellow tongue coating, headache, cough, vomiting, no sweat from Cold Damage, bi wandering chest/back pain, vertigo, irritability, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, anorexia, elbow contracture, fullness, dry throat, chills with urination, hematemesis, fear/sorrow, heart bi, mastitis.
Shaoshang (Shaoshang, Jing-Well Point of Lung) is on the medial end of the thumb, like the size of a bean leaf from the nail corner, in the depression at the junction of white flesh. It is the Jing-Well Wood point where the Lung Meridian exits. Needle one fen, moxibustion one zhuang.
[Indications] Neck swelling, bi syndrome of throat, irritability, vomiting, subcostal fullness, sweating with irritability, cough with rebellious Qi, malaria with chills, abdominal fullness, salivation/thirst, anorexia, pediatric milk goose (tonsillitis). (A Tang governor had neck swelling like a bowl, throat blocked, unable to swallow water/grains. Zhen Quan pricked it with a three-edged needle, causing slight bleeding, and he was immediately cured.)
