Shangguan (Upper Gate), also known as Keren Zhu, is located at the upper end of the bony prominence in front of the ear. A hole appears when the mouth is open. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao) Meridian and the Foot-Yangming (Stomach) Meridian. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, retained for seven breaths, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. If pierced too deeply, it may cause deafness.
Xiaguan (Lower Gate) is located below Keren Zhu (Shangguan), in the hollow beneath the arterial pulse in front of the ear, at the lower edge. A hole exists when the mouth is closed but closes when opened. It is the intersection of the Foot-Yangming (Stomach) Meridian and the Shaoyang (Gallbladder) Meridian. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, retained for seven breaths, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. If there is dryness or discomfort in the ear (described as "shi di", sounding like 'shi'), moxibustion is contraindicated. ("Shi di" is alternatively written as "shi zhi", meaning moxibustion is not allowed; another interpretation suggests it refers to retaining the needle after acupuncture.)
Ermen (Ear Gate) is located in front of the ear, in the raised flesh directly opposite the ear opening. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, retained for three breaths, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones.
Heliao (Grain Corner) is located below the sharp hairline in front of the ear, along the transverse arterial pulse. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao) Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) Meridian, and Hand-Taiyang (Small Intestine) Meridian. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. (Note from *Qifu Lun*: It is the intersection of the Hand and Foot Shaoyang meridians.)
Tinghui (Listening Meeting) is located in the depression in front of the ear, accessible when the mouth is open, where the arterial pulse can be felt. It is a point where Shaoyang meridian qi emerges. The needle should be inserted four fen deep, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. (Note from *Miu Ci*: It lies exactly within the territory of the Hand-Yangming (Large Intestine) Meridian.)
Tinggong (Listening Palace) is located inside the ear, round like a bead, bright red like a adzuki bean. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao) Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) Meridian, and Hand-Taiyang (Small Intestine) Meridian. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. (Note from *Qixue*: The insertion depth is one fen.)
Jiaosun (Corner Sun) is located in the middle of the auricle, with a hole appearing when the mouth is open. It is the intersection of the Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao) Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) Meridian, and Hand-Yangming (Large Intestine) Meridian. The needle should be inserted three fen deep, and moxibustion consists of three moxa cones. (Note from *Qifu Lun*: Located between the surface of the upper ear cartilage and below the hairline, it is the intersection of the Hand-Taiyang (Small Intestine), Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao), and Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) meridians.)

Luxi (Skull Rest) is located among the blue collateral vessels behind the ear, where Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) meridian qi emerges. The needle should be inserted one fen deep. Excessive bleeding may be fatal. Moxibustion consists of three moxa cones.
