Yuanye (GB22), located three cun below the axilla in a depression; take the point with the arm raised. Puncture 0.3 cun. Moxibustion is contraindicated. If mistakenly moxibusted, it may unfortunately cause scrofula-like ulcers (Ma Dao). If internal organs are damaged leading to ulceration, death ensues. However, if only chills and fever with Ma Yang symptoms occur, it is treatable. (Note from *Qi Xue Lun*: This is where the Qi of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian emerges.)
Dabao (SP21), located three cun below Yuanye (GB22). It is the Great Luo of the Spleen, distributing within the chest and hypochondrium, emerging between the ninth rib, extending to the end of the flanks, and connecting with all Yin meridians. Puncture 0.3 cun. Apply 3 moxa cones.
Zhejin (GB24), located three cun below the axilla, moving forward one cun, adhering to the costal region. It is where the Qi of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian emerges. Puncture 0.6 cun. Apply 3 moxa cones.

Jiuwei (CV15), also known as Wei Yi or Gu Gou, located anterior to the chest, five fen below the xiphoid process (bi gu). It is a collateral branch of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel). Moxibustion and acupuncture are contraindicated. (If Quchi (CV14) is needled at Jiuwei, the heart may be pierced. In some individuals, the xiphoid process is shorter, allowing for slight tolerance; currently, it is rigidly defined as one cun distance.)
Juque (CV14), the Front-Mu point of the Heart, located one cun below Jiuwei. It is where the Qi of the Ren Mai emerges. Puncture 0.6 cun (Note from *Qi Fu Lun*: puncture 1.2 cun). Retain the needle for seven breaths. Apply 5 moxa cones.
Shangwan (CV13), located one cun five fen below Juque, three cun away from the xiphoid process. It is the intersection of the Ren Mai, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Puncture 0.8 cun [Note: Text says 8 cun, likely a typo for 0.8 cun or 8 fen in original transmission, translated as 0.8 cun for clinical accuracy based on standard texts]. Apply 5 moxa cones.
Zhongwan (CV12), also known as Tai Cang, the Front-Mu point of the Stomach, located one cun below Shangwan, midway between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus. It is where the Qi generated by the Hand-Taiyang, Hand-Shaoyang, and Foot-Yangming meridians gathers, and is the intersection of the Ren Mai. Puncture 0.3 cun. Apply 7 moxa cones. (*Jiu Juan* states: The distance from the xiphoid to the umbilicus is eight cun, and Tai Cang is located in the middle, four cun above the umbilicus. Chang Guang's *Mu Jing* states Tai Cang is three cun above the umbilicus, which is incorrect.)
Jianli (CV11), located one cun below Zhongwan. Puncture 0.5 cun. Retain the needle for ten breaths. Apply 5 moxa cones. (Note from *Qi Fu Lun*: puncture 0.6 cun, retain for seven breaths.)
Xiaowan (CV10), located one cun below Jianli. It is the intersection of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian and the Ren Mai. Puncture 1 cun. Apply 5 moxa cones.
Shuifen (CV9), located one cun below Xiaowan, one cun above the umbilicus. It is where the Qi of the Ren Mai emerges. Puncture 1 cun. Apply 5 moxa cones.
