Above is Da Shu (BL11). Below to the coccyx, there are twenty-one vertebral segments. There are methods for measurement and folding, using the "same-body inch" method: three cuns taken as seven cuns and eight fen, dividing the upper seven segments.
The first vertebra level with the shoulder is Da Zhu (BL11); below the second large bone is Tao Dao (DU13); the third vertebra is Shen Zhu (DU12); the fourth vertebra has no acupoint; the fifth vertebra is Shen Dao (DU11); counting down from the sixth vertebra is Ling Tai (DU10); counting down to the seventh vertebra is Zhi Yang (DU9); the eighth vertebra is missing; the ninth vertebra is Jin Suo (DU8); the tenth vertebra rests; the eleventh and twelfth vertebrae have no acupoints; below the thirteenth vertebra is Xuan Shu (DU9 - note: text says Xuan Shu here, likely error for Du 9 or similar, but strictly translated as Xuan Shu); the fourteenth vertebra is Ming Men (DU4); the fifteenth vertebra is Yang Guan (DU3); below the sixteenth vertebra...; the seventeenth to twentieth vertebrae have no acupoints; the twenty-first vertebra is named Yao Shu (DU34). Below this is Chang Qiang (DU1). Please seek them out one by one carefully. The middle seven segments are two fen long. The main rule is that the fourteenth vertebra is level with the umbilicus, one chi two cun one fen away. Behind are Mi Hu (acupoint), which should be considered carefully.
