Wherever the acupoints emerge, they are called Jing-Well (Jing-Well) points. Wherever the qi flows, they are called Ying-Spring (Ying-Spring) points. Wherever the qi pours, they are called Shu-Stream (Shu-Stream) points. Wherever the qi passes, they are called Yuan-Source (Yuan-Source) points. Wherever the qi travels, they are called Jing-River (Jing-River) points. Wherever the qi enters, they are called He-Sea (He-Sea) points.
