(There are nineteen acupoints in total)
The "Bone Measurement Chapter" (Gu Du Pian) states: From below the laryngeal prominence (Jie Hou) to the supraclavicular fossa (Que Pen), the length is four cun.
[Diagram of Neck and Nape Acupoints]
Lianquan (CV23, Lianquan) [Ling Shu], also known as Benchi (Jia Yi Jing), also known as Sheben (Zi Sheng Pian). Location: Below the chin, above the laryngeal prominence, below the root of the tongue (Jia Yi Jing). Directly below the chin, in the depression behind the bone (Qian Jin Fang - Chapter on Various Wind Diseases). In the center above the laryngeal prominence (Lei Jing).
Note: Regarding "Sheben" (Root of Tongue), Da Cheng writes "Sheshui", Da Quan writes "Jiben". The "Qi Fu Lun" states: "Two points in the center of the throat." The secondary annotation explains: This refers to the two acupoints Lianquan and Tiantu. The "Ci Nie Pian" states: "The two vessels under the tongue are Lianquan." This refers to the center between the two vessels. Qian Jin Fang, Yi Fang, Sheng Ji Zong Lu, Fa Hui do not include the character "xia" (below) in "Sheben xia". Ru Men, Bao Jian write "jian" (between) instead of "xia". Ju Ying, Yi Tong write "four cun above the laryngeal prominence below the chin". For this acupoint, why is it necessary to measure precisely? Lei Jing states: Take the point with the head extended. See the explanation below.
Renying (ST9, Renying) [Su Wen], also known as Tian Wuhui (Jia Yi Jing). It is the pulsating artery flanking the throat. Also located on the side of the neck, anterior to the yingjin (sternocleidomastoid muscle) (Ling Shu). The large vessel on the side of the neck pulses palpably, flanking the laryngeal prominence, used to observe the qi of the five zang organs (Jia Yi Jing). Moxibustion is prohibited; deep needling is forbidden (Jia Yi Jing).
Note: Zi Sheng Pian, Sheng Ji Zong Lu, Ju Ying, Yi Tong, Da Quan, Wu Wenbing, Bao Jian, Da Cheng do not have the character "tian". Qian Jin Yi Fang writes "da jin mai" (large tendon vessel). Secondary annotations in Fa Hui, Lei Jing, Ju Ying, Ru Men, Yi Tong, Da Cheng, Jin Jian write "one cun five fen lateral to the laryngeal prominence". This is based on the annotation for Futu in Jia Yi Jing. However, for acupoints on the side of the neck, precise measurement in cun is not required; one should simply locate them relative to the tendons. This is the ancient method. This acupoint flanks the laryngeal prominence. Sheng Ji Zong Lu states: Take the point with the head extended. Do not take Shuitu (Jia Yi Jing), also known as Shuimen (Jia Yi Jing). Located anterior to the large tendon of the neck, directly below Renying and above Qishe (Jia Yi Jing). Between Renying and Qishe (Ru Men).
Note: The character "tu" is written as "tian" in Jia Yi Jing, which is an error. Lei Jing states: Flanking the upper part of Qishe, adhering internally to the airway. Qian Jin Fang annotation states: One cun below the angle of the jaw, posteriorly, which is incorrect.
Qishe (ST10, Qishe) [Jia Yi Jing]. On the neck, directly below Renying, flanking Tiantu, in the depression (Jia Yi Jing). Adhering to the bony prominence, there is a gap (Lei Jing).
Note: Lei Jing writes "flanking the side of Tiantu". Ru Men, Bao Jian write "flanking the side", which is too rigid. Jin Jian writes "one cun below the laryngeal prominence", which is incorrect.
Futu (ST17, Futu) [Su Wen], also known as Shuixue (Wai Tai Mi Yao). Posterior to the yingjin (Ling Shu). One cun five fen posterior to Renying (Jia Yi Jing).
Note: The measurement of one cun five fen is explained earlier. This acupoint is separated from Renying by a large tendon. Qian Jin Fang writes "one cun half posterior to Qishe". Fa Hui, Wu Wenbing, Bao Jian, Ju Ying follow this. Da Cheng writes "above Qishe", which is incorrect. Qian Jin Yi Fang, Wai Tai Mi Yao, secondary annotation write "one cun below the angle of the jaw, posterior to Renying", which is too rigid. The secondary annotation also states: Take the point with the head extended, which is incorrect. For all acupoints on the side of the neck, extending the head makes the tendons difficult to palpate; therefore, they should be taken with the face forward.
Tianding (SI11, Tianding) [Jia Yi Jing], also known as Tian Ding (Da Quan). Above Que Pen, directly opposite Futu, one cun five fen posterior to Qishe (Jia Yi Jing). Lateral cheek (Ru Men).
Note: Both sides of Tiantu mention Que Pen, referring to its shape. Thus, Ling Shu refers to Tiantu as being in the middle of Que Pen, which can be seen here. "Directly opposite Futu" is a complete sentence, meaning this acupoint is directly below Futu, corresponding to the posterior aspect of Qishe. Futu and Renying are separated by a tendon; taking the point directly below Futu at the posterior aspect of Qishe. The secondary annotation writes "half cun", likely a typo for "one cun five fen". Zi Sheng Pian and subsequent books like Sheng Ji Zong Lu write "one cun posterior to Futu", which is too rigid. Qian Jin Fang writes "neck and Que Pen, directly opposite Futu, one cun below the angle of the jaw, posterior to Renying", which confuses the annotation for Futu and should not be followed. Ming Tang writes "Tian Ding", likely due to phonetic similarity, considered an alias, tentatively accepted.
Tianchuang (SI16, Tianchuang) [Su Wen], also known as Chuang Long (Jia Yi Jing). Flanking Futu (Su Wen). Below the angle of the jaw, posterior to Futu, where the artery pulses palpably, in the depression (Jia Yi Jing). Anterior to the large tendon of the neck (Zi Sheng Pian).
Note: The character "chuang" in Zi Sheng Pian is written as [missing/variant]. The character "long" is written as "long" (deaf) in Wai Tai Mi Yao, and "long" (dragon) in Ju Ying, Da Quan. Ling Shu states: "Chuang long refers to the ear." Zhang Jiebin states: This is Tinggong (SI19), which is different. Ru Men states: Above the hairline below Wanggu, at the large tendon of the neck, which is incorrect. Previous editions of Da Cheng write "jian". Additionally, there is a Tianchuang acupoint in the Extraordinary Points section, which is different.
Tianrong (SI17, Tianrong) [Ling Shu]. Posterior to the angle of the jaw below the ear (Ling Shu). In the depression posterior to Jiache (Ru Men).
Note: Jia Yi Jing does not have the character "xia". Qian Jin Fang, Wai Tai Mi Yao, etc., all write "below the ear". Qian Jin Yi Fang lacks the character "qu".
Tianyou (SI15, Tianyou) [Su Wen]. Between the neck tendons, above Que Pen, posterior to Tianrong, anterior to Tianzhu, posterior to Wanggu, above the hairline (Jia Yi Jing). Moxibustion is prohibited (Zi Sheng Pian ○ Yi Tong states: All books write "below Wanggu", which is incorrect. Qi Fu Lun states: "One below each point posterior to Wanggu." Secondary annotation states: The two Tianyou points can be seen. Ling Shu lists seven arterial pulses on the side of the Ren Mai. First is Renying, Foot Yangming; second is Futu, Hand Yangming; third is Tianchuang, Hand Taiyang; fourth is Tianrong, Foot Shaoyang; fifth is Tianyou, Hand Shaoyang; sixth is Tianzhu, Foot Taiyang; seventh is Fengfu, Du Mai. Fa Hui writes "posterior to Tianchuang", an error due to the similarity of "chuang" and "rong". Qian Jin Fang writes "one cun above the hairline". Ru Men follows this. Seeking it just above the hairline, between the yingjin and neck tendons, where the two upper tendons converge and the lower hairline begins. Therefore, precise measurement is unnecessary. Those stating "one cun" are mistaken. Ru Men writes "lateral to the large tendon below the ear". Lei Jing states "one cun posterior to the ear", which is also incorrect. Ming Tang states: "In the hollow above the hairline at the Miaogu acupoint." Miaogu acupoint is unknown, likely a typo for Wanggu.
Que Pen (ST12, Quepen) [Su Wen], also known as Tian Gai (Jia Yi Jing). In the depression of the transverse bone on the shoulder (Jia Yi Jing). Deep needling is prohibited (Jia Yi Jing).
Note: The character "tian" is written as "chi" in Ju Ying, Wu Wenbing. Gu Kong Lun states: "Stiff neck occurs in the transverse bone on the shoulder." Secondary annotation states: This refers to the Quepen acupoint. Zi Sheng Pian, Fa Hui, Ju Ying, Yi Tong, Wu Wenbing all write "xia" (below), which is incorrect. Ru Men, Bao Jian write "qian" (anterior). Ma Shi's annotation in Zheng Fa Wei writes "one cun half from the midline", which is incorrect.
