Gongsun (SP4), Linqi (GB41), Neiguan (PC6), Waiguan (TE5), Houxi (SI3), Lieque (LU7), Shenmai (BL62), and Zhaohai (KI6) — if one masters these eight acupoints, their value is a thousand gold pieces.
First Acupoint: Gongsun (Bilateral). For Heat syndrome with a surging pulse: perform lifting and scraping 3–5 times, reducing method 3–5 times, searching and grasping tremor 3–5 times, raising Yang and descending Qi; do not moxa. For Cold syndrome with a faint pulse: tonifying method 3–5 times, rubbing 3–5 times, twisting 3–5 times, raising Yang 3 times, apply 3 moxa cones.
The anterior point of Gongsun belongs to the Spleen channel. It treats difficult-to-cure conditions such as heart and abdominal distension and fullness; chest oppression due to Five Obstructions (Wu Ge) and Jie Xiong (accumulation in the chest); postpartum retention of the placenta leading to blood syncope; slippery intestines causing diarrhea and dysentery with umbilical pain; intestinal wind causing hematochezia and malaria-like symptoms; Five Obstructions and Five Dysphagias with cold accumulation; pediatric rectal prolaxis and refractory dysentery; tenesmus with hematochezia; phlegm-Qi stagnation causing chest fullness and synchronized wheezing; chronic accumulations combined with abdominal masses ("child lumps"); where the divine needle descends, critical conditions are immediately resolved.
Second Acupoint: Linqi (Bilateral). For Heat syndrome with a surging pulse: lifting and scraping 5 times, reducing 5 times, following and grasping tremor 3 or 5 times, raising Yin and descending Qi 3–5 times; do not moxa. For Cold syndrome with a faint pulse: tonifying 3–5 times, pressing 3 times, rubbing 3 or 5 times, raising Yang and ascending Qi 3–5 times, apply 3 moxa cones.
