Ye Yuqing, courtesy name Wushan, was a native of Pingjiang. He claimed to have once suffered from *xiezhi* (consumptive disease, often referring to tuberculosis). His residence was opposite a bridge, but he was unable to walk across it. A monk moxaed his *Gaohuang* (BL43) acupoint, administering a total of one hundred moxa cones (*zhuang*). Two days later, he was able to walk several *li*, climbing and descending without fatigue, and from then on, he recovered his health and strength.

Regarding the method for locating the acupoint, one should stand with feet together and hands hanging naturally by the sides, keeping the body upright and straight, without bending forward or backward. The point is located three *cun* (body-inch measurements) lateral to the lower border of the fourth thoracic vertebra spinous process. During moxibustion, use a soft object as a pillow, lie prone with the face covered, let hands hang by the side or place them temporarily as needed for comfort. When having another person perform the moxibustion, this same method is used, which is said to be effective.

However, this method is quite simplified compared to ancient methods of locating points, and it contradicts the statement in the *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) that "if locating while standing, moxa should be applied while standing." Ouyang Dian shi promoted this method; he was the son-in-law of Chen Liaoweng. Chen Liaoweng acquired acupuncture techniques from Zhang Ji of Wuwei. His method for seeking acupoints was particularly exquisite. He once performed moxibustion on Ye Yuanshan's *Gaohuangshu* (BL43), leaving visible marks. Comparing the location described by Ye with the actual mark left by Chen, Ye's location was slightly lower. This is likely due to differences in spinal curvature between individuals, leading to slight variations.

Additionally, Pan Qi, a medical practitioner from Changshu County, stated: "I received this from my master. The method for locating the point is: sit upright with the spine curved, feet together, and hands raised backwards and upwards so that the thumbs align with the navel. When the elbows are flexed, the hands rest on the upper thighs." Although this description differs from the method in the *Qianjin Fang* of extending the arms to make them straight, it is closer to ancient practices than the standing-pointing method.

Furthermore, Zhongwen, a monk at Pujian Temple in Kaihua County, Quzhou, possessed two methods for locating the point: The first involves sitting upright with knees together at the level of the breasts, wrapping the arms around, flexing the hands towards the knees, and using the index finger of the left hand to pinch the left knee eye (Xuehai/Double Xiyan area contextually implied as landmark), and similarly with the right hand. Then, count the vertebral bones on the back to measure and locate the point, performing moxibustion in this seated posture. The second method: Sit upright with knees extended. As above, press the arms against the outer side of the knees, extending directly towards the feet. Hold both hands vertically with backs facing each other, pointing thumbs towards the body, and pinch the webbing between the big toes of both feet. The remainder follows the previous description. This method, relying on finger extension rather than standard *cun* measurement, also seems applicable. These methods are preserved here not only to demonstrate broad knowledge but also to allow future generations to compare their merits and demerits, know which to follow, and not be confused by heterodox theories.
