Zhongfeng (Stroke), refers to the sudden collapse, loss of consciousness, and deviation of the mouth and eyes. Medical texts classify Zhongfeng into four categories: Zhongjing (Striking the Meridians), Zhongluo (Striking the Collaterals), Zhongzang (Striking the Zang Organs), and Zhongfu (Striking the Fu Organs). For patients with poor therapeutic effects, Moxibustion must be employed. For cases that have not yet been treated, urgent moxibustion is permissible. At the time of onset, first apply moxibustion to Baihui (GV20) or Chize (LU5). If the patient has lockjaw (Jin Kou), apply moxibustion to Fengchi (GB20). For hemiplegia affecting one side of the body (Zuo Tan You Huan), apply moxibustion to Fengshi (GB31). If there is sudden pain in both forehead regions, deviation of the mouth and eyes, lockjaw, aphonia, and inability to speak, apply moxibustion to Keyuzhuren (ST7). If the stroke is caused by Phlegm, applying moxibustion to Huantiao (GB30) is sufficient.
Baihui (GV20): Located five cun vertically above the nasal tip to the hairline, in the depression where the hair whorls converge, a space large enough to accommodate a finger. *Yizong Jinjian* states: "It is located in the depression at the vertex, directly above the tips of the ears."
Chize (LU5): Located at the arterial pulse in the center of the elbow crease, specifically in the middle of the transverse crease on the medial aspect of the elbow when flexed. *Jinjian* states: "In the gap between the tendons and bones within the transverse crease when the elbow is flexed."
Fengshi (GB31): Stand upright with arms hanging naturally at the sides; the location is where the tip of the middle finger reaches on the lateral aspect of the thigh.
Keyuzhuren (ST7): Located in the depression between the bones anterior to both ears; the acupoint becomes apparent upon opening the mouth.
Huantiao (GB30): Located in the Bitshu (hip joint). To locate it, lie on the side, flex the upper leg, and extend the lower leg. The thigh is called Gu; the upper part of the thigh is called Bi; the area below the Jian bone (greater trochanter), above the thigh, and at the junction of the two bones is called Bitshu. This is the location of Huantiao.
Fengchi (GB20): Located in the depression behind the ear; pressure here induces a sensation radiating into the ear.
*Yizong Jinjian* states: Shijue (Corpse-like Coma) is a term similar to Zhongfeng. It describes a condition where the body is cold and rigid (Jue) but Qi remains unextinguished; there is no respiration through the mouth and nose, resembling a corpse, yet the pulse continues to beat. If medical assistance cannot be obtained in time, urgently apply moxibustion to Dadun (LR1). If there is coldness of the four limbs, apply moxibustion to Neiting (ST44), and additionally to Xingjian (LR2); do not err in treatment.
Dadun (LR1): Located at the distal end of the great toe, in the hair cluster approximately the width of a leek leaf from the nail corner. *Jinjian* states: "In the central hair cluster on the lateral side."
Neiting (ST44): Located in the depression on the lateral side of the oblique bone between the proximal phalanx of the second toe and the medial side of the great toe.
Xingjian (LR2): Located in the depression where the arterial pulse is palpable, in the webbing between the great toe and the second toe.
