Jie Zhang's annotation: "Wuli at the Chi level" refers to the location five li posterior to Chize (Lake at the Elbow). Ma Yun states: Three cun above Chize, there is a pulsating artery, which is the center of the large vessel on the medial side three cun above the elbow, named Wuli (Five Li) acupoint. It belongs to the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Zhang Zhicong states: Pressing the qi and blood under the skin, they flow from the Jing-Well points at the tips of the hands and feet into the vessels and converge between the elbows and knees; hence it is called the radial artery pulse. This section discusses the contraindications for needling the right Wuli point. Jian An notes: If one forcibly depletes the qi and blood by needling the Five Shu points (Jing-Well, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Jing-River, He-Sea) five times, the qi and blood of that meridian will be exhausted; thus, there are contraindications regarding the Five Shu points. For details, see *Suwen: Qi Xue Lun* and *Benjing: Yu Ban Lun*.
The Official of Transmission: Ma Yun states: "Dao" (path/way) is synonymous with "Dao" (to guide). Whatever has been digested in the Small Intestine is transmitted downward from here. Zhang Zhicong states: This section only discusses the Six Fu organs paired with the Five Zang organs. This chapter discusses the origins of the Twelve Meridians, entering from the Jing-Well points and reaching the He-Sea points, generally moving from the exterior inward.
The Official of Refined Essence: The *Jia Yi Jing* reads "Official of Purity and Clarity." Ma Yun states: Other Fu organs receive turbid substances, but only the Gallbladder receives the refined essence of the Five Zang organs.
Shaoyang Belongs to the Kidney: The *Jia Yi Jing* reads "Shao Yin." Ma Yun states: This refers to the Shaoyang Sanjiao (Triple Burner). The main branch of the Sanjiao reaches the neck and disperses in the chest, while the Kidney meridian also ascends to connect with the Lung. The lower part of the Sanjiao belongs to the Bladder, and the Bladder is the paired organ of the Kidney; therefore, the Sanjiao also belongs to the Kidney.
Thus Commanding Two Organs: Zhang Jingyue states: The Sanjiao is the Official of Middle Ditches, and the Bladder is the Official of Fluids. As the Water Organ, the Kidney commands the Water Fu organs; this is logical. Thus, the Kidney can command these two organs together. "Jiang" means to command or lead. These two Fu organs can also be referred to as Zang. The *Ben Zang Pian* states: "The Kidney pairs with the Sanjiao and the Bladder," which implies this meaning.
The Official of Middle Ditches: Zhang Jingyue states: It is like rivers and ditches, where both the source and the flow originate within it. Food and drink enter through the mouth and exit via stool, passing through the Sanjiao from top to bottom; hence it is called the Official of Middle Ditches. Water pathways emerge from it. The Bladder receives water from the Sanjiao and serves as the pathway for its excretion. Their qi mechanisms rely on each other, and their forms are of the same category. Thus, the Sanjiao descends from Shaoyang, merges with the main branch of Taiyang, enters and connects with the Bladder, and regulates the Lower Jiao.
The Solitary Official: Jian An notes: The Lung pairs with the Large Intestine, the Heart with the Small Intestine, the Liver with the Gallbladder, the Spleen with the Stomach, and the Kidney with the Bladder. However, the Sanjiao pairs only with the Bladder and has no other pairing; hence it is called the Solitary Official. Xiao Ji in the *Wu Xing Da Yi* states: The Sanjiao is located among the Five Zang organs, connecting the upper and lower to circulate qi, thus it is called the Official of Middle Ditches. It also cites the *He Tu*: "The Sanjiao stands alone, being the Inner Ditch Official," which aligns with the purport of this section. The Sanjiao mentioned here specifically refers to the Lower Jiao. Zhang Shi's *Zhi Yi Lu* discusses this in detail. (Refer to the annotations in *Suwen Shi* for *Ling Lan Mi Dian Lun* and *Liu Jie Zang Xiang Lun*, which cite multiple evidences.)
Spring: Take the Collaterals: Zhang Jingyue states: The great collaterals of the Twelve Meridians, such as Lieque (LU7) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, are examples.
All Ying-Spring Points: Zhang Jingyue states: These are the functional points of the Twelve Meridians, such as Yuji (LU10) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian.
Between the Muscle Intervals: The *Shui Re Xue Lun* states: In spring, Wood energy begins to govern, and Liver qi begins to generate. Liver qi is urgent, and wind is swift. The meridians are usually deep, but the body's qi is shallow and cannot penetrate deeply. Therefore, one should take points in the collaterals and between the muscle intervals. Jian An notes: The acupuncture methods for the four seasons vary across different chapters. The classification in the *Jia Yi Jing* is nearly complete and clear; reference is advised.
All Sun-Luo Points: Zhang Jingyue states: The term "Shu" here refers to the Shu-Stream points of the Twelve Meridians, such as Taiyuan (LU9) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. The small branches of the collaterals are called Sun-Luo (Sun Collaterals), all corresponding to the summer qi. Summer operates under the authority of Old Yang, with yang energy abundant on the exterior; therefore, shallow needling is appropriate at the Shu points, Sun-Luo points, and upon the muscles and skin.
All He-Sea Points: Zhang Jingyue states: These are the He-Sea points of the Twelve Meridians, such as Chize (LU5) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. The He-Sea points correspond to autumn, so they are suitable for needling in autumn. At this time, under the influence of Young Yin, the qi is about to descend but has not yet done so, remaining in the middle layer. Thus, the method is similar to spring: moderate depth is appropriate, taking points between the muscle intervals of the major meridians, allowing for either shallow or deep insertion.
All Jing-Well Points: Zhang Jingyue states: These are the Jing-Well points of the Twelve Meridians, such as Shaoshang (LU11) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian.
All Shu Points: (Text implies discussion of Shu points). It refers to points like Taiyuan and Sanjian mentioned earlier. Zhang Jingyue states: The Shu points of the Zang organs, such as Feishu (BL13) and Xinshu (BL15), are examples. This does not refer to the "Shu-Stream" position in the Five Shu points mentioned above.
All Jing-Well and All Zang Points: Both govern winter qi. Winter operates under Old Yin, with yang qi hidden and stored. Therefore, it is appropriate to select Jing-Well and Zang-Shu points, aiming for deep insertion and prolonged retention of the needle. Jian An notes: The two interpretations differ, and it is unknown which is correct.
Qi's Location: Zhang Jingyue states: "Chu" is pronounced with the rising tone, meaning the place where qi resides.
Tendon Cramps (Stop) Rapid Relief: Zhang Jingyue states: Patients with tendon cramps must have spasms. By standing and needling, the tendons can relax. Patients with flaccidity and cold limbs (Wei-Jue) must have bodily dysfunction. By extending the limbs and needling, the qi and blood can achieve immediate relief. Zhang Zhicong states: "Zhang" means lying supine with limbs extended wide.
