1. Shaoshang (Jing-Well Point)
Location: On the radial side of the tip of the thumb, approximately the width of a leek leaf from the corner of the nail.
Indications and Treatments: Restlessness, frequent hiccups. Fullness in the epigastrium. Sweating with chills. Rebellious Qi and cough. Malaria with shivering cold. Abdominal distension with salivation. Dry lips with desire to drink but inability to swallow. Abdominal bloating. Hand spasms and finger pain. Chills with jaw clenching. Noises in the throat.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Prick with a three-edged needle to allow slight bleeding to drain heat from the Zang organs. Moxibustion is contraindicated.
Commentary: Shaoshang is the beginning of the Wood Jing-Well point of the Yin channel. The West corresponds to the color white and connects internally to the Lung. Its musical note is Shang (Metal). It is called "Shao" (Lesser) because the Five Zang are Yin, and Yin is often deficient.
2. Yuji (Ying-Spring Point)
Location: In the dispersed vessels on the radial side, proximal to the first metacarpophalangeal joint.
Indications and Treatments: Aversion to wind and cold with shivering. Deficiency heat. Yellow tongue coating. Fever, headache, cough, and anhidrosis. Bi syndrome wandering to the chest and back causing pain. Dyspnea. Vertigo and restlessness. Shortness of Qi. Abdominal pain and inability to eat. Elbow spasm with a sensation of fullness. Dry throat. Chills with jaw clenching. Cough radiating pain to the sacrum. Urinary incontinence. Hematemesis. Heart Bi. Sadness and fear.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Insert 0.2 cun, retain for three breaths.
Commentary: Yuji is the Fire Ying-Spring point of the Yin channel, located in the thenar eminence (fish belly) at the posterior aspect of the thumb. When the thumb is adducted toward the index finger, the thenar eminence is full; when abducted, the medial side proximal to the joint sinks slightly, resembling the junction in the center of a fish's belly, hence the name Yuji. As a Fire point and the Lung being a Metal organ, Fire overcomes Metal; therefore, this point is indicated for acupuncture only, not moxibustion.
3. Taiyuan (Shu-Stream Point / Yuan-Source Point)
Location: In the depression distal to the wrist crease.
Indications and Treatments: Chest Bi with rebellious Qi. Cold reversal with frequent hiccups and vomiting. Cough after drinking water. Restlessness and insomnia. Pulmonary distension and bloating. Pain along the medial aspect of the arm. Leucoma (white opacity) of the eye. Congested conjunctival vessels. Radiating pain in the supraclavicular fossa. Heat in the palm. Frequent yawning. Asthma and dyspnea. Belching with upward rebellion. Heart pain with hemoptysis. Chills. Dry throat. Delirium and facial paralysis (deviation of mouth and eye).
Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Insert 0.2 cun. Moxibustion of three moxa cones is permissible.
Commentary: Taiyuan is the convergence of the vessels. The *Ben Shu* chapter states: "One cun distal to Yuji in the depression." This is the Shu point. It is located one cun distal to the thenar eminence, which is the starting point of the Cun Kou pulse. It is the Shu point of the Five Zang organs and is also referred to as the Yuan-Source point. Because the essence of food and water from the Six Fu organs flows into the origin of the Five Zang meridians, it is named Yuan (Abyss).
4. Jingqu (Jing-River Point)
Location: In the depression at the Cun Kou pulse site.
Indications and Treatments: Alternating chills and fever in malaria. Stiffness and tension in the chest and back. Chest distension. Throat Bi. Heat in the palm. Cough with upward rushing Qi. Frequent yawning. Febrile disease with anhidrosis. Sudden Bi syndrome with asthma. Pain in the sole of the foot. Vomiting.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Insert 0.2 cun, retain for three breaths. Moxibustion is strictly prohibited, as it damages the Shen (Spirit).
Commentary: Jingqu is located within the Cun Kou, where the pulse moves without staying fixed, corresponding to the Guan position. The distance from Cun to Guan is 1.9 cun; below this is the Chi position. It is called Jingqu (River Channel) because it is a major thoroughfare. Taiyuan is at the beginning of Cun Kou, while Jingqu is in the middle of Cun Kou, not yet entering the Chi position.
5. Chize (He-Sea Point)
Location: In the artery at the midpoint of the cubital crease.
Indications and Treatments: Wind Bi with elbow spasm. Inability to raise the arm. Throat Bi with upward rushing Qi. Dry tongue. Cough with expectoration of turbid sputum. Sudden edema of the four limbs. Cold arms and shortness of Qi.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Insert 0.3 cun. Moxibustion of five moxa cones is permissible.
Commentary: Chize is the He-Sea point of the Lung meridian, suitable for both acupuncture and moxibustion. Since the He-Sea points of Yin channels belong to Water, and the Lung is a Metal organ, Water is generated by Metal (Metal generates Water). For excess pathogens, acupuncture is used to drain its "Son" (Water is the Son of Metal), thus draining the Son. The Lung stores Zang Qi, and mountains communicate with marshes. This point is precisely located at the Chi section of the Taiyin meridian, which is the knotting point of the pulse, hence named Chize. The meaning is profound.
