Qi Tang: For dislocation of the Jiache acupoint caused by yawning, moxa the fifth thoracic vertebra on the back. Moxa fourteen moxibustions per day. If not cured after three full days, moxa the Qichong acupoint for two hundred moxibustions. This acupoint is located in the middle of the ribs in the chest. It is also called Qi Tang. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: Qi Tang is likely a miswriting of Qichong. The character "Jia" is written as "Yin" in *Qianjin Yifang*.
Tongguan: Located five fen lateral to the Zhongwan acupoint on both sides. Mainly treats frequent belching. Insert the needle eight fen; twisting left promotes food intake, twisting right harmonizes the spleen and stomach. Needling this acupoint once yields four effects. After needling, when one feels the spleen grinding food and perceives the needle moving, this is the first effect. Next, when the needle breaks the root of the disease and sounds are heard in the abdomen, this is the second effect. Next, when one feels qi flowing into the bladder, this is the third effect. Finally, when one feels qi circulating in the space behind the lumbar vertebrae, this is the fourth effect. (From *Yixue Gangmu*)
Long Han: For heart pain with cold qi rising, moxa the Long Han acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. This acupoint is located one cun and a half above the Jiwei acupoint. Do not needle. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Tianju Side Acupoint: For goiter, moxa the Tianju acupoint for three hundred moxibustions. Moxa at intervals of three cuns horizontally. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: Tianju is another name for Tiantu. A Japanese scholar stated: "The character 'Qu' is suspected to be a typo for 'Qu'." *Qianjin Mingtang* records: "Tianqu is located three cuns anterior to the upper ear." This explanation is incorrect. See the entry for Tianchong.
Xiong Tang: For rebellious qi and syncope, moxa the Xiong Tang acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. This acupoint is located between the two breasts. (From *Qianjin Fang*) Do not needle. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Qianjin Fang* states: For hematemesis and spitting blood, moxa the Xiong Tang acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. It also appears in the chapter on epilepsy and fright. In *Qianjin Yifang*, the character "Tang" is written as "Tang," with no acupoint annotation. This acupoint seems to refer to the Shanzhong acupoint. *Yixue Gangmu* considers it to be Shanzhong. However, since *Qianjin Fang* mentions moxing Shanzhong first and then Xiong Tang, it cannot be Shanzhong.
Zhu Shi: Treats all types of Zhu diseases (chronic infectious or parasitic diseases), regardless of whether they are new or old. First, lie supine, and moxa three cuns obliquely downward from the sides of the nipples, in the third intercostal space. The number of moxibustions depends on the patient's age, up to three hundred. Also treats various qi disorders with good effect. Also known as Zhu Shi. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: The character "Zhu" is written as "Zhu" in *Qianjin Yifang*. It shares the same name as Pangting, and the location is not far apart.
Shi Guan: Two cuns below the epigastrium, five cuns lateral on both sides. Moxa fifty moxibustions. Mainly treats unbearable pain in both hypochondria postpartum. (From *Weisheng Baojian*)
Note: Same name but different acupoint as Shi Guan in the abdominal region.
Zhuan Gu: In the depression between the ribs on both sides. Mainly treats distending fullness in the chest and hypochondria, anorexia, indigestion where food enters but is not digested, vomiting followed by regurgitation. Raise the arm to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Note: This acupoint is behind the posterior axillary line, on the side. It probably refers to the posterior axilla? There seems to be missing text. "Posterior axilla" is seen in the back section. *Waitai Miyao* lists seven acupoints: Yin, Yingtu, Xietang, Pangting, Shisu, which belong to the Foot-Shaoyang Meridian. They are now transferred to Extra Points.
Yin: One cun below the Shipan, in the depression between the bones. Mainly treats abdominal fullness, swelling and pain in the flanks, pulling sound in the parumbilical area resembling water gurgling, or if there is a water sound inside. Lie supine to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Note: "Shipan" is unknown in location. It probably refers to the Zhuan Gu acupoint?
Yingtu: One cun below the Yin acupoint. Mainly treats inability to swallow food, abdominal fullness, constipation, abdominal borborygmus, and diarrhea. Lie supine to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Xie Tang: In the depression between the two bones under the axillary yin. Mainly treats distending fullness in the chest and hypochondria, abdominal distension, hernia-like sensation, belching, hiccups, wheezing, gallbladder disorder causing blurred vision and jaundice. Raise the arm to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*) Avoid needle. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
Note: A Japanese scholar said: The character "Dan" is suspected to be a typo for "Zhan". *Qianjin Yifang* states: For hematemesis and spitting blood, moxa the Xie Tang acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. *Zisheng Jing* states: Located in the axilla. Citing *Mingtang Xiajing*, this acupoint is recorded below. *Daquan* states: Combine Juliao with eight cun three fen; Xie Tang is between the two bones in the axilla.
Note: "Men Ye" probably refers to Zhangmen and Yuanye acupoints, but it is uncertain. This is a drawback of compiling rhyme verses.
Pangting: Also known as Zhu Shi. In the fourth intercostal space under the axilla, vertically aligned with the nipple, two cuns posterior to the nipple in the depression. Commonly known as Zhu Shi. Raise the arm to locate. Insert needle five fen, moxa fifty moxibustions. Mainly treats sudden onset of evil pathogens, Feishi, Dunshi, and Zhu diseases, chest and hypochondrial fullness. (From *Qianjin Fang*) In the depression between the two bones below Xie Tang, raise the arm to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Note: The character "Ting" is written as "Ting" in *Waitai Miyao*. It shares the same name as the previous entry Zhu Shi, and the location is also not far apart.
Shisu: Two cuns below the lower edge of the axillary hypochondrium, in the bone depression. Mainly treats subcostal distending fullness, lower back pain radiating to the abdomen, muscle spasms, and contraction of yin qi upward. Raise the arm to locate. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Jiuqu Zhongfu: Three cuns below Pangting and Zhu Shi. (From *Qianjin Fang*) Insert needle five fen, moxa thirty moxibustions. Mainly treats aversion to wind and evil qi, Dunshi, and internal blood stasis. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Dimen: Between the spleen and stomach, named Dimen. Located one cun and a half anterior to the costal margin. (From *Maijing*)
Note: The Nine Gates listed in *Leijing* do not include this acupoint.
Yemen: Also known as Dayangyin and Yexian. One cun within the hair cluster in the axilla. Moxa fifty moxibustions. Mainly treats wind diseases. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: The Yemen acupoint of the Hand-Shaoyang Meridian is easily confused. It also shares the same name as the Daju acupoint but is a different point. The annotation under the Yuanye acupoint in *Qianjin Fang* cites the Wind-Stroke chapter stating: Yemen is located in the hair cluster in the axilla, also known as Quanye, which is the Yuanye acupoint. This text is absent in current editions.
Qimen: For women with infertility, moxa the Qimen acupoint. The acupoint is three cuns lateral to the Guanyuan acupoint, one hundred moxibustions on each side. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Leijing* describes the Nine Gates, stating that Qimen is the gate for urination, located in the anterior genital region, exiting through qi transformation, hence called Qimen. This differs from the current entry. It is generally similar to the Shuidao acupoint.
Bixi (From *Qianjin Fang*): See under the Rugen acupoint.
Shenfu: For heart pain with sudden severe cramping and feeling like death, moxa the Shenfu acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. Located directly opposite the heart below the Jiwei acupoint. Contraindications apply. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Qianjin Yifang* writes: Attached to Jiwei, directly opposite the heart.
Huang Mu: Inside the結气囊 (nodule bag), beyond the reach of needles and herbs, moxa the Huang Mu acupoint, with the number of moxibustions depending on the patient's age. The two Huang Mu acupoints are measured obliquely from the nipple to the umbilicus, folding halfway. From the nipple, measure downwards to the head, which is this acupoint. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: In *Qianjin Yifang*, "Xie" is written as "Xie" (oblique), and the word "Jin" (end) follows "Xing". The character "Huang" is written as "Wei" in some versions, which is incorrect.
Rushang: Use a rope to measure horizontally across the mouth, then use this measurement to extend upwards from the breast, and moxa the end of the measurement. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
Note: *Qianjin Fang* for sudden epilepsy moxa the two nipples, three moxibustions. It also says: For infantile sudden epilepsy, moxa the two nipples. For daughters, moxa two fen below the nipple. *Youke Zhunsheng* states: For infantile asthma and distension, commonly called Horse Spleen Wind or Wind Throat, use a grass stem to measure from the inner side of the patient's middle finger, near the palm crease to the tip of the middle finger, and cut off. Take two such stems. Stand them slightly obliquely upright from above the nipple. Place a third stem horizontally across the tips of the two standing stems. Moxa three moxibustions at the points marked by the ends of the horizontal stem. This method has been seen to cure many cases.
Tonggu: For heart pain with bad qi and acute pain in the upper hypochondrium, moxa the Tonggu acupoint for fifty moxibustions. Located two cuns below the nipple. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: Same name but different acupoint as Tonggu in the second row of the abdominal region.
Hun She: For small intestine dysentery with pus and blood, moxa the Hun She acupoint for one hundred moxibustions. Reduce dosage for children. The acupoint is on both sides of the umbilicus, one cun apart from each other. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Qianjin Yifang* omits the character "Ge" (each). Tian Shu acupoint is described as the residence of the soul and spirit, and should not be needled. It is likely an alias for Tian Shu. The measurement differs slightly. Generally similar to the Huyu acupoint. Pending further verification.
Litou: The head of the first flexed rib, near below the second rib, is the moxa site. The head of the second rib, near below the third rib, towards the front of the wing muscle, is also a moxa site. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
Lexia: Measure the distance between the patient's two nipples with a rope, fold it in half. Then measure outwards from the nipple to align with the Lexia. Moxa at the end of the rope, with the number of moxibustions depending on the patient's age. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
Chang Gu: Also known as Xunji. For dysentery, anorexia, and indigestion even after eating, moxa the Chang Gu acupoint for fifty moxibustions, repeated three times. The acupoint is five cuns apart from each other on both sides of the umbilicus. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Qianjin Fang* annotation for Tian Shu states that Chang Gu is another name for Tian Shu, as mentioned previously. *Qianjin Yifang* states: For excessive sweating, inability to move limbs, and weakness, moxa the Changping acupoint for fifty moxibustions. Located five cuns apart on both sides of the umbilicus. Do not needle. Changping is another name for Zhangmen, and this acupoint resembles Zhangmen, see the entry for Zhangmen. *Yixue Gangmu* writes it as Xunyuan.
Yexia: For belching, hiccups, and obstruction of qi in the diaphragm, moxa the area below the hair cluster in the axilla, in the hollow beside the rib, for fifty moxibustions. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: *Qianjin Fang* also states: For all types of scrofula, moxa the area above the posterior axillary crease on both sides of the patient's back, with the number of moxibustions depending on the patient's age. *Qianjin Yifang* states the method for moxing goiter: Hang hands down, moxa three hundred moxibustions at the heads of the upper axillary creases on both sides. Needling is also effective. *Qianjin Fang* also states: For all types of scrofula, moxa the hollow in the inner thighs at the lesion site, one moxibustion per day for seven days, stop. Divine efficacy. "Two hips" in *Waitai Miyao* is written as "two axillae".
Zhi Gu: For chronic cough that does not heal, moxa. Approximately one finger-width below the patient's breast, look for the depressed area that aligns straight with the breast without deviation. This is named the Zhi Gu acupoint. For women, press straight down from the nipple to see where it lands; this is the location of the Zhi Gu acupoint. Moxa three cones of moxa, sized like a red bean. Moxa the left side for men and the right side for women; do not make mistakes. The cough will heal immediately. If it does not heal, the disease is incurable. (From *Shoushi Baoyuan* ○ *Luzhutang Jianbianfang* is the same.)
Note: This is the Rugen acupoint.
Ruxia: For infantile tinea, moxa one cun below the two nipples, three moxibustions on each side. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Note: Those moxa below the breast have slightly different locations. Recorded here together. *Qianjin Fang* states: For treating reverse regurgitation, moxa one cun below each nipple until cured. Also moxa dry retching for thirty moxibustions. Also moxa the Five Corpses according to the affected side, increasing the number of moxibustions. Moxa sudden vomiting and reversal for seven moxibustions. Also for cough, moxa the black-white boundary below the two nipples, one hundred moxibustions on each side.
