Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel) links the Yang meridians. Its vessel originates from the convergence of all Yang meridians. Together with Yin Wei Mai (Yin Linking Vessel), it links and connects throughout the body. If the Qi and Blood overflow and accumulate, unable to circulate and irrigate the twelve meridians in a ring-like manner, pathology occurs. If they cannot mutually link, disease manifests as mental confusion and loss of willpower, with a flaccid, uncontrolled body that cannot be self-regulated. The points where the Qi of Yang Wei Mai issues are: diverging from Jinmen (BL64, located below the lateral malleolus in the gap of the Taiyang meridian), passing through Yangjiao (GB35, located 7 cun above the lateral malleolus), meeting the Hand and Foot Taiyang meridians and the Qiao vessels at Fufen (BL17, located in the depression medial to the inferior angle of the scapula); meeting the Hand and Foot Shaoyang meridians at Tianliao (TE15, located in the depression between the acromion and the lateral end of the clavicle); and again meeting at Jianjing (GB21, located at the midpoint between the lateral end of the clavicle and the superior angle of the scapula). In the head, it meets the Foot Shaoyang meridian at Yangbai (GB14, located 1 cun above the eyebrow, directly above the pupil); ascending to Benshen (GB13, located 1.5 cun lateral to Qucha, BL8) and Zulinqi (GB41, located 0.5 cun above the hairline, directly above the pupil); ascending further to Zhengying (GB16, located 1 cun posterior to Yanchuang, GB15); following Naokong (GB19, located 4.5 cun posterior to Zhengying); descending to Fengchi (GB20, located in the depression behind the mastoid process, at the level of the hairline). It meets the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) at Fengfu (DU16, located 1.5 cun posterior to Naohu, DU17, in the depression of the midline of the nape); and Yamen (DU15, located 0.5 cun posterior to Fengfu, entering the hairline by 0.5 cun). All these points where the Qi of Yang Wei Mai issues total twenty-four acupoints.
Yin Wei Mai also links and connects throughout the body. If Qi and Blood overflow and accumulate, unable to circulate and irrigate the twelve meridians, pathology results. Yin Wei Mai links the Yin meridians, and its vessel originates from the intersection of all Yin meridians. Its clinical manifestations are the same as those of Yang Wei Mai. The points where the Qi of Yin Wei Mai issues include the Xi-cleft point of Yin Wei Mai, named Zhubin (KI9, located 5 cun above the medial malleolus), which meets the Foot Taiyin Spleen meridian at Fuai (SP15, located 1.5 cun inferior to Riyue, LR24) and Dahan (SP15 is actually SP15? No, Dahan is SP15. Wait, Fuai is ST17? No. Let's check standard locations. Fuai (ST17) is under Riyue. Dahan (SP15) is under Fuai. The text says "Fuai... Dahan". Standard texts: Fuai is ST17? No, Fuai is not a standard name for ST17. ST17 is Wangu. Let's re-read carefully. "Fuai" usually refers to ST17? No. In some contexts, Fuai might be a variant or specific reference. Actually, looking at standard WHO terms: Fuai is not a standard point. However, the text says "Fuai and Daheng". Daheng is SP15. Fuai is likely a typo for "Fuzhuguan"? No. Let's look at the location: "under Riyue 1.5 cun". This corresponds to Shiguan (ST17)? Or perhaps it refers to a different point. Wait, standard Yin Wei Mai points: Zhubin (KI9), Fushe (LR13), Qimen (LR14), Futu (CV22), Lianquan (CV23). The text mentions "Fuai" and "Dahan". Dahan is SP15. But SP15 is not on Yin Wei Mai. The text says "meets Foot Taiyin at Fuai and Dahan". This seems to be a specific textual variation or error in the source provided, or "Fuai" refers to a point on the Stomach meridian that intersects? Actually, many sources list Yin Wei Mai points as: Zhubin (KI9), Fushe (LR13), Qimen (LR14), Futu (CV22), Lianquan (CV23). Total 5 points? Or more if including intersections. The text claims 11 points. Let's stick to the translation of the text provided without correcting potential historical textual errors, but using standard terminology for known points. "Fuai" is likely a transcription error for "Fuzi" or similar? Or perhaps it refers to "Shiguan"? No. Let's translate literally based on the characters provided, noting "Fuai" as a proper noun from the text. *Correction*: In some ancient texts, "Fuai" might refer to a specific location. However, standard modern TCM identifies Yin Wei Mai points differently. I will translate the names as given in the text but map them to their described locations. "Fuai" -> Fuai (location: 1.5 cun below Riyue). "Dahan" -> Daheng (SP15). "Fushe" -> Fushe (LR13). "Qimen" -> Qimen (LR14). "Tutu" -> Tiantu (CV22). "Lianquan" -> Lianquan (CV23). Note: The text lists 11 points, but only names a few explicitly as "issued" or "met". I will translate the explicit names.) ... The Xi-cleft point of Yin Wei Mai is named Zhubin (KI9, located in the middle of 5 cun above the medial malleolus). It meets the Foot Taiyin Spleen meridian at Fuai (located 1.5 cun below Riyue) and Daheng (SP15, located 1.5 cun below Fuai). It again meets the Foot Taiyin and Foot Jueyin Liver meridians at Fushe (LR13, located 3 cun below Fujie) and Qimen (LR14, located 1.5 cun lateral to Burong). It meets the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) at Tiantu (CV22, located in the depression below the larynx) and Lianquan (CV23, located below the root of the tongue). All these points where the Qi of Yin Wei Mai issues total eleven acupoints.
