之。治大小人痫证有特效。（仙）用针数十年。心本藏九穴。仅取神门一穴。余八穴未曾一次取用。盖
尊经旨。外经病而内不病。独取其经于掌后兑骨之端之正义。
兑骨即掌外侧腕后高起之踝骨。手踝骨向内转。踝内侧骨有空即神门穴。踝骨上
另有一空即养老穴。经称此骨名兑骨。兑有内通之义。向内一转则神门养老两孔
穴皆开。与足内外踝之顽梗不开无穴可取者。迥然不同。故别其名曰兑骨。继起针灸家多书作
锐骨。义未妥。

Note: The above points—Shaochong, Shaofu, Shenmen, Lingdao, and Shaohai—are the Jing-Well (Wood), Ying-Spring (Fire), Shu-Stream (Earth), Jing-River (Metal), and He-Sea (Water) points of the Heart organ system, respectively. These were added by Bian Que and are not recorded in the *Ben Shu* chapter. However, the point Shenmen, when needled according to the Zi Wu Liu Zhu method on Jia and Ji days at Mao hour, has a special effect in treating epilepsy in adults and children. (Wu) I have used acupuncture for decades; regarding the nine points of the Heart organ system, I only utilize Shenmen, and have never simultaneously used the other eight points. This is out of respect for the classical principles, adhering to the correct interpretation that when there is disease in the exterior meridians but not in the interior organs, one should exclusively select the point located at the end of the Dui Gu bone on the palm side.
Dui Gu refers to the prominent malleolus-like bone rising behind the lateral aspect of the wrist. When the hand's ankle bone rotates inward, the hollow on the medial side of this ankle bone is Shenmen. Another hollow above the ankle bone is Yanglao. The classics call this bone "Dui Gu"; "Dui" implies internal communication. By rotating inward, both the Shenmen and Yanglao apertures open. This is distinctly different from the solid, unyielding bones of the medial and lateral malleoli of the foot, where no points can be taken. Therefore, it is specifically named "Dui Gu." Later acupuncturists often wrote it as "Rui Gu," which is semantically inappropriate.
