Located in the depression below the zygomatic bone, it is the intersection of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun. Note: The text does not mention moxibustion here, likely because it is contraindicated.) One acupoint on each side above the auricle, (referring to the two Jiaosun [TE14] acupoints. Located at the midpoint of the upper margin of the auricle, below the hairline, with a gap appearing when the mouth is open. It is the intersection of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Note: In *Jia Yi Jing*, the Hand-Taiyang meridian is written as the Hand-Yangming meridian.)

Depth of insertion: 0.5 cun; Retain needle for six breaths; Moxibustion: three cones.) Six Shu points from the elbow down to the base of the little finger. (These six Shu points originate from the fingertips. The text says "to the base of the little finger," using the fingertip as the root, referring to the proximal base. The same applies to the Yangming and Shaoyang meridians below. The six Shu points are Xiaohai [SI8], Yanggu [SI5], Wangu [SI4], Houxi [SI3], Qiangu [SI03], and Shaoze [SI1]. Considering left and right, there are twelve Shu points. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as described in the *Qi Xue* chapter. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "In the following sections for the Hand-Taiyang, Hand-Yangming, and Hand-Shaoyang meridians, each mentions 'to the base of a certain finger.' Wang Bing's annotation that 'the tip is the base' is incorrect. Detailed examination shows that the Jing-Well points of the Hand Three Yang meridians all emerge from the tip of the respective finger under the nail. Here, 'base' refers to the root of the nail, not the fingertip.") Twenty-two acupoints where the Qi of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian emerges: Two acupoints on each side at the lateral margin of the nostril and above the neck, (referring to Yingxiang [LI20] and Futu [LI18], two acupoints each.

It is where the Qi of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths; Moxibustion: three cones. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "Daying has already appeared in the Foot-Yangming meridian section earlier. Its appearance here without explanation should be understood similarly to the dual appearance of the Qiangliao acupoint.") One acupoint at the intersection of the cervical spine, (referring to the two Tianding [LI17] acupoints. Located above the neck and Quepen, approximately half cun posterior to Futu and Qishe. It is where the Qi of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Note: *Jia Yi Jing* states 1.5 cun.) One acupoint at the intersection of the scapular bone, (referring to the two Jianyu [LI15] acupoints.

Six Shu points from the elbow down to the base of the thumb and index finger. (Referring to LiSan [LI11], Yangxi [LI5], Hegu [LI4], Sanjian [LI3], Erjian [LI2], and Shangyang [LI1], six acupoints. Considering left and right, there are twelve Shu points. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as described in the *Qi Xue* chapter. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "The *Qi Xue* annotation includes Quchi [LI11] but not LiSan. Quchi is the He-Sea point of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. This text erroneously lists LiSan and omits Quchi.") Thirty-two acupoints where the Qi of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian emerges: One acupoint on each side below the nasal bone, (referring to the two Qiangliao [BL18] acupoints. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as for the Hand-Shaoyang meridian. In this acupoint, the Qi of both the Hand-Shaoyang and Hand-Taiyang meridians converges equally, so it is repeated here. Similar cases follow.) One acupoint on each side behind the eyebrow, (referring to the two Sizhukong [TE23] acupoints. Located in the depression behind the eyebrow, where the Qi of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for six breaths. Moxibustion is contraindicated; if performed, it may unfortunately cause the eyes to become small or blind.) One acupoint on each side at the corner, (referring to the two Xuanli [GB18] acupoints. Same as in the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "The Foot-Shaoyang meridian mentions 'below the corner,' while this text says 'above the corner,' suggesting an error here.") One acupoint on each side posterior to Wan'gu, (referring to the two Tianyou [TE17] acupoints. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as described in the *Qi Xue* chapter.) One acupoint on each side in the neck, anterior to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, (referring to the two Fengchi [GB20] acupoints. Located in the depression behind the ear, sensation radiates to the ear upon pressure. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang and Foot-Shaoyang meridians. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "*Jia Yi Jing* locates it posterior to the temporal hairline, intersection of the Foot-Shaoyang and Yangwei vessels. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun.") One acupoint on each side flanking Futu, (referring to the two Tianchuang [SI16] acupoints.

Depth of insertion: 0.6 cun; Moxibustion: three cones.) One acupoint at Jianzhen [SI9], (Jianzhen is the name of the acupoint, located in the depression between the two bones below the posterior shoulder joint. It is where the Qi of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.8 cun; Moxibustion: three cones.) One acupoint three cun below Jianzhen in the muscle intervals, (referring to the two Jian , Huizhong [SJ14], and Xiaoluo [TE13] acupoints, two each, located in the muscle intervals. Jian is located obliquely above the shoulder end; take with arm raised. It is where the Qi of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.7 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Huizhong is three cun anterior to the shoulder end on the anterior border of the arm; it is the intersection of the collaterals of the Hand-Yangming and Hand-Shaoyang meridians. Depth of insertion: 0.5 cun; Moxibustion: five cones. Xiaoluo is below the shoulder on the lateral aspect of the arm, in the interval descending obliquely from the axilla towards the elbow. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Depth of insertion: 0.5 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Note: Luo sounds like shuo. Hu sounds like hu (level tone), meaning arm.) Six Shu points from the elbow down to the base of the little finger and index finger. (Referring to Tianjing [TE10], Zhigou [TE6], Yangchi [TE4], Zhongzhu [TE3], Yemen [TE2], and Guanchong [TE1], six acupoints. Considering left and right, there are twelve Shu points. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as described in the *Qi Xue* chapter.) Twenty-eight acupoints where the Qi of the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) emerges: (Currently one less. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "Huiyang [BL35] consists of two acupoints, making twenty-nine in total. Thus, there is one extra, not one missing. 'Shao' (less) should be read as 'Sheng' (extra).") Two acupoints in the center of the neck, (referring to Fengfu [GV16] and Yamen [GV15], two acupoints. Both are located in the neck. The remaining one is now lost. Fengfu is one cun below the hairline within the large tendon, in a hollow area. It is the intersection of the Du Mai and Yangwei Vessel. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun; Retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion is contraindicated; if performed, it causes aphonia. Yamen is in the hollow at the hairline, one cun posterior to Fengfu. It is the intersection of the Du Mai and Yangwei Vessels. Take with head extended. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun. Moxibustion is strictly contraindicated; if performed, it causes aphonia. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "Wang Bing said Fengfu and Yamen are both in the neck, and the remaining one is lost. This does not mean one of these twenty-eight is lost. Wang Bing likely referred to the acupoints on both sides of Dazhui [GV14] mentioned in the *Qi Xue* chapter, which are also neck acupoints but are now lost, hence 'the remaining one is lost.'") Eight acupoints posterior to the hairline in the midline, (referring to Shenting [GV24], Shangxing [GV23], Xinhui [GV22], Qian Ding [GV21], Baihui [GV20], Hou Ding [GV19], Jiangjian [GV18], and Naohu [GV17], eight acupoints, located in the center of the hairline. Shenting is directly opposite the nose at the hairline. It is the intersection of the Du Mai, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Puncture is contraindicated; if punctured, it causes cephalalgia and loss of vision. If moxibustion is used, apply three cones. Shangxing is one cun below the hairline, directly opposite the nose, in a depression capable of holding a bean. Xinhui is one cun posterior to Shangxing in a depression. Qian Ding is 1.5 cun posterior to Xinhui in the bony depression. Baihui is 1.5 cun posterior to Qian Ding, in the center of the vertex, within the whorl of hair, in a depression capable of holding a finger. It is the intersection of the Du Mai and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Hou Ding is 1.5 cun posterior to Baihui. Jiangjian is 1.5 cun posterior to Hou Ding. Naohu is 1.5 cun posterior to Jiangjian. It is the intersection of the Du Mai and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Moxibustion is contraindicated. These eight acupoints are all where the Qi of the Du Mai emerges. For Shangxing, Baihui, Jiangjian, and Naohu, insert 0.3 cun. Retain Shangxing for six breaths, Naohu for three breaths. For the rest, insert 0.4 cun and apply five cones. Note: *Jia Yi Jing* states Naohu is contraindicated for moxibustion; the *Bone Empty Theory* annotation also states not to moxa recklessly.) Three acupoints in the center of the face, namely Suliao [GV25], Shuigou [GV26], and Yinjiao [GV28], three acupoints. Suliao is at the upper end of the nasal bridge, where the Qi of the Du Mai emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun. Shuigou is in the philtrum below the nasal bridge, aligned with the lips.

These three are exactly in the midline of the face. Fifteen acupoints from Dazhui [GV14] down to the sacrum/coccyx and sides. In the vertebral intervals are Dazhui [GV14], Taodao [GV13], Shenzhu [GV12], Shendao [GV11], Lingtai [GV10], Zhiyang [GV9], Jinsuo [GV8], Zhongshu [GV7], Jizhong [GV6], Xuanshu [GV5], Mingmen [GV4], Yangguan [EX-B3], Yaoshu [EX-B2], Changqiang [GV1], and Huiyang [BL35], fifteen Shu points. Dazhui is in the depression above the first thoracic vertebra, intersection of the Three Yang meridians and Du Mai. Taodao is in the interval below the Dazhui segment, intersection of Du Mai and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Take prone. Shenzhu is in the interval below the third thoracic vertebra. Take prone. Shendao is in the interval below the fifth thoracic vertebra. Take prone. Lingtai is in the interval below the sixth thoracic vertebra. Take prone.

All fifteen are where the Qi of the Du Mai emerges. Yaoshu and Changqiang: insert 0.2 cun (Note: *Jia Yi Jing* says 2 cun, suspected too deep; 0.2 cun is more appropriate). Retain needle for seven breaths. Xuanshu: insert 0.3 cun. Huiyang: insert 0.8 cun. Rest: insert 0.5 cun. Taodao and Shendao: retain needle for five breaths. Taodao, Shenzhu, Shendao, and Jinsuo: moxa five cones. Dazhui: moxa nine cones. Rest: moxa three cones. Note: *Jia Yi Jing* lacks Lingtai, Zhongshu, and Yangguan. From the 骨 (scapula/clavicle area?) down, there are twenty-one segments, the method for counting vertebrae. (Including three segments of the cervical spine, totaling twenty-four segments.) Twenty-eight acupoints where the Qi of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) emerges: (Currently one less.) Two acupoints in the center of the throat, (referring to Lianquan [RN23] and Tantu [RN22], two acupoints. Lianquan is below the hyoid bone, under the root of the tongue. It is the intersection of the Yinwei Vessel and Ren Mai. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for three breaths; Moxibustion: three cones.

Xuanji is one cun below Tantu. Huagai is one cun below Xuanji. Zigong, Yutang, Danzhong, and Zhongting are each 1.6 cun apart in depressions. All are where the Qi of the Ren Mai emerges. Take supine. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion: five cones.) One acupoint every inch from three cun below Jiutui [CV15] to five cun below the stomach cavity, and from the stomach cavity to Henggu [CV30] 6.5 cun, (Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "The character 'Yi' (one) seems erroneous.") This is the method for abdominal meridians. Jiutui is the name of the acupoint anterior to the heart, exactly at the tip of the xiphoid process. It is named so because the bone hangs down like the tail of a dove. Below Jiutui are Jiutui [CV15], Juque [CV14], Shangwan [CV13], Zhongwan [CV12], Jianli [CV11], Xiawan [CV10], Shuifen [CV9], Qihai [CV12 - note: text says Umbilicus/Qi Zhong here, but list implies CV12 is Qihai later? Text says: Jiutui, Juque, Shangwan, Zhongwan, Jianli, Xiawan, Shuifen, Qi Zhong (Umbilicus), Yinjiao [CV7], Bo Yang [CV6], Dantian [CV4], Guanyuan [CV4], Zhongji [CV3], Qugu [CV2]. Fourteen Shu points. Jiutui is five fen below the xiphoid process. It is a collateral branch of the Ren Mai. Moxibustion and acupuncture are contraindicated. For those without a xiphoid process, descend one cun from the bifurcation of the sternum (Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: *Jia Yi Jing* says 1.5 cun is the location of Jiutui). Next are Juque, Shangwan, Zhongwan, Jianli, Xiawan, Shuifen, each one cun apart. Shangwan is the intersection of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Zhongwan is where the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian generate. The umbilicus (Qi Zhong) is contraindicated for acupuncture. Yinjiao is one cun below the umbilicus, intersection of Ren Mai, Chong Mai, and Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Boyang is 1.5 cun below the umbilicus (Note: This is Qihai [CV6]. Old editions say one cun, same as Yinjiao, which is an error, now corrected). Dantian is the Mu point of the Sanjiao, located two cun below the umbilicus. Guanyuan is the Mu point of the Small Intestine, located three cun below the umbilicus, intersection of the Foot Three Yin meridians and Ren Mai. Zhongji is one cun below Guanyuan, intersection of the Foot Three Yin meridians. Qugu is one cun below Zhongji, on the pubic bone, intersection of the Ren Mai and Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. All fourteen are where the Qi of the Ren Mai emerges. Jianli and Dantian: insert 0.6 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths. Shangwan and Yinjiao: insert 0.8 cun. Xiawan and Shuifen: insert 1 cun. Zhongwan and Boyang: insert 1.2 cun. Qugu: insert 1.5 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths. Rest: insert 1.2 cun. For moxibustion: Guanyuan and Zhongwan: seven cones. Umbilicus, Zhongji, and Qugu: three cones each. Rest: five cones. From Jiutui down to the yin region, all are governed by the Ren Mai. This is the method for abdominal meridians. One acupoint at the lower yin separation, (referring to the one Huiyin [CV1] acupoint. From Qugu down to the yin, below the yin, between the two yins, is this acupoint. It is the intersection of the collateral branch of the Ren Mai, the Du Mai, and the Chong Mai. Hence called 'Lower Yin Separation One'. Depth of insertion: 2 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths; Moxibustion: three cones.) One acupoint on each side below the eye, (referring to the two Chengqi [ST1] acupoints, seven fen below the eye, vertically aligned with the pupil. It is the intersection of the Yangqiao Vessel, Ren Mai, and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun. Moxibustion is contraindicated.) One acupoint on the lower lip, (referring to the one Chengjiang [CV24] acupoint. Located anterior to the chin, below the lower lip. It is the intersection of the Ren Mai and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Take with mouth open. Depth of insertion: 0.2 cun; Retain needle for five breaths; Moxibustion: three cones.) One acupoint at Yinjiao [GV28], (Yinjiao is the name of the acupoint. The depth of insertion and number of moxa cones are the same as for the Du Mai. Note: Yin sounds like yin, referring to the tooth root.) Twenty-two acupoints where the Qi of the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) emerges: Half cun lateral to Jiutui, one acupoint per inch down to the umbilicus, (referring to Youmen [KI15], Tonggu [KI14], Yindu [KI13], Shiguan [KI12], Shangqu [KI11], and Shenshu [BL23 - note: text lists Shenshu but context implies Kidney meridian points near abdomen, likely referring to the Kidney meridian points along the Chong Mai path, specifically KI15-KI11. The text lists 'Shenshu' but describes locations consistent with Kidney meridian abdominal points. I will translate as listed but note the context]. Six acupoints, twelve considering left and right. Youmen is half cun lateral to Juque in the depression. The next five are one cun apart. All are intersections of the Chong Mai and Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Depth of insertion: 1 cun; Moxibustion: five cones. Note: *Jia Yi Jing* states Youmen and Tonggu: insert 0.5 cun.) Five fen lateral to the umbilicus, one acupoint per inch down to Henggu [CV30], (This is the method for abdominal meridians.) (referring to Zhongzhu [KI10], Suifu [KI9], Baomen [KI8], Yinguang [KI7], and Xiaji [KI1], five acupoints, ten considering left and right. Zhongzhu is five fen below Huangshu [KI17], vertically aligned with Youmen. The next four are one cun apart. All are intersections of the Chong Mai and Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Depth of insertion: 1 cun; Moxibustion: five cones.) One acupoint for the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian under the tongue, and one for the Jueyin Liver Meridian at Jimai [LV12] in the pubic hair. (The two Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian acupoints under the tongue are in the arterial depression anterior to Renying [ST9]. Anterior to this is the origin of Riyue [GB24], left and right. It is where the Qi of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian emerges. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun. Jimai is in the pubic hair, on both sides of the yin organ, 2.5 cun apart. Pressing feels hard; severe pressure causes pain radiating up and down. On the left, cold invasion draws pain to the lower abdomen and testicles, causing frequent pain, lower abdominal urgency, and cold invasion. These two vessels are the great collaterals of the Jueyin meridian passing through them, hence called 'Jueyin Jimai', which is the cord of the testis. Moxibustion is allowed, acupuncture is contraindicated. For hernia and lower abdominal pain, moxibustion can be applied. Note: Xin Zhengxiao states: "Detailed check shows *Jia Yi Jing* does not list acupoints under the tongue or in the pubic hair.") One acupoint for the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian on each side. (Referring to the one Shenmen [HT7] acupoint of the Hand-Shaoyin. Located half cun posterior to the wrist. It is the Yuan-Source point of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. Depth of insertion: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion: three cones. Left and right, two acupoints.) One acupoint for the Yinqiao and Yangqiao vessels on each side. (The Yinqiao acupoint is Jiaoxin [KI8]. Jiaoxin is two cun above the medial malleolus, between the anterior Foot-Shaoyin and posterior Foot-Taiyin tendons/bones. It is the Xi-Cleft point of the Yinqiao Vessel. Depth of insertion: 0.4 cun; Retain needle for five breaths; Moxibustion: three cones. The Yangqiao acupoint is Fuyang [BL59]. Fuyang is three cun above the lateral malleolus, between the anterior Foot-Taiyang and posterior Foot-Shaoyang tendons/bones. Take carefully. It is the Xi-Cleft point of the Yangqiao Vessel. Depth of insertion: 0.6 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths; Moxibustion: three cones. Left and right, four acupoints.) The acupoints where the Qi of the pulses at the fish borders of the hands and feet emerges total three hundred and sixty-five. (The classics contain many records. Nineteen acupoints are mentioned here, which are what is meant by 'Qi Fu'. However, scattered Shu points exist in all meridian regions, so the classics sometimes do not mention them, leading to differences in the number of acupoints listed in *Jia Yi Jing* and meridian flow texts.)
