Those who eat much but remain thin are named "Shihui" (Food Obscurity), and it is appropriate to moxa the Pishu (BL20, Bladder Shu) acupoint.
Those who feel sleepy and wish to lie down after finishing meals are named "Pi Kun" (Spleen Fatigue), and it is appropriate to moxa the Zhongwan (CV12, Conception Vessel 12) acupoint.
For brain deficiency and cold causing epistaxis (nosebleed), or diseases resulting from wind entering the brain over a long period, it is appropriate to moxa the Xinhui (DU16, Du Mai 16) acupoint.
For indigestion, abdominal distension and fullness, and sallow complexion, which the world calls Spleen-Kidney Disease, it is appropriate to moxa the Zhongwan (CV12) acupoint.
For chronic cold damaging the zang-fu organs and their vital energy, unceasing diarrhea, stroke with loss of consciousness, and other such ailments, it is appropriate to moxa the Shenmen (HT7, Heart 7) acupoint.
For deficiency and exhaustion of zang qi, insufficiency of true qi, and all qi disorders that have become chronic and stagnant, it is appropriate to moxa the Qihai (CV6, Conception Vessel 6) acupoint.
For deficiency and lack of zang-fu organs, and ailments of cold and exhaustion in the lower origin (lower jiao/kidneys), it is appropriate to moxa the Dantian (CV4, Conception Vessel 4) acupoint.
For deficiency and exhaustion of yang qi, seminal emission, and infertility, it is appropriate to moxa the Zhongji (CV3, Conception Vessel 3) acupoint.
The twelve regular meridians all have Shu (Transport) and Yuan (Source) acupoints; they are the meeting points of the yin and yang meridians of the hands and feet, and the channels through which qi and blood circulate. Externally, they nourish the tendons and joints; internally, they connect to the zang-fu organs. The classics state: The three yang meridians of the hand run from the hand to the head; the three yin meridians of the hand run from the chest to the hand; the three yang meridians of the foot run from the head to the foot; the three yin meridians of the foot run from the foot to the chest. They circulate day and night without ceasing, and yin and yang qi meet here. It is also said: In spring and summer, needling should be shallow; in autumn and winter, needling should be deep. This is because in spring and summer, yang qi is above, and human qi is also above, so shallow needling is appropriate; in autumn and winter, yang qi is below, and human qi is also below, so deep needling is appropriate.
Regarding the Jing-Well, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Yuan-Source, Jing-River, and He-Sea points: these refer to the flow and distribution of qi at the acupoints. The place where qi emerges is the Jing-Well point; where it flows is the Ying-Spring point; where it pours is the Shu-Stream point; where it passes is the Yuan-Source point.
For years ending in Jia or Ji, the Zi and Wu hours correspond to the number nine; for Yi or Geng, Chou and Wei hours to eight; for Bing or Xin, Yin and Shen hours to seven; for Ding or Ren, Mao and You hours to six; for Wu or Gui, Chen and Xu hours to five; for Ji Hai, the number is four.
The above methods combine the day and hour with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to obtain a number, which is then divided by nine, and the remainder is used to determine the hexagram and select the acupoint.
One Kan (Water); Two Kun (Earth); Three Zhen (Thunder/Wood); Four Xun (Wind/Wood); Five Center (Males associate with Kun, Females associate with Gen); Six Qian (Heaven/Metal); Seven Dui (Lake/Metal); Eight Gen (Mountain/Earth); Nine Li (Fire).
The above uses the nine numbers of stems and branches for division, and the remainder combines with the trigram.
Qian corresponds to Gongsun (SP4); Gen corresponds to Neiguan (PC6); Zhen palace houses Waiguan (TE5); Xun palace houses Houxi (SI3); Li palace houses Lieque (LU7); Kun palace houses Shenmai (BL62); observe Zhaohai (KI6) and Linqi (GB41) in Dui and Kan respectively (Dui corresponds to Zhaohai, Kan corresponds to Linqi).
The above divides by nine, and the remainder determines the acupoint according to the trigram.
The eight He-Sea points (specifically the Eight Confluent Points of the Extraordinary Vessels): Gongsun, Linqi, Houxi, Zhaohai, Neiguan, Waiguan, Shenmai, Lieque.
