The Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel) originates from the middle of the heel, ascends along the lateral malleolus, and enters the Fengchi (GB20) acupoint. When pathological changes occur in this vessel, it causes flaccidity on the Yin side and tension on the Yang side (i.e., relaxation of the medial muscles and spasm of the lateral muscles). Regarding the Qiao vessels of both feet, the Yin Qiao should be counted as the Jing (Regular Channel), while the Yang Qiao should be counted as the Luo (Connecting Channel). The length of the Qiao vessel is eight chi. The acupoints originating from it begin at Shenmai (BL62), attach to Fuliu (BL59), originate from Puxen (BL60), intersect with the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel at Juliao (GB73), intersect with the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Channel at Jianyu (LI15) and Jugu (SI10), intersect with the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Channel, Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel, and Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel) at Dazhu (BL11), intersect with the Hand-Yangming and Foot-Yangming channels at Dicang (ST4), intersect again with the Hand-Yangming and Foot-Yangming channels at Juliao (ST3), and intersect with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel at Chengqi (ST1). There are twenty acupoints in total.
Shenmai (BL62) (Located below the lateral malleolus, belonging to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel.) Fuliu (BL59) (Located above the lateral malleolus.) Puxen (BL60) (Located above the calcaneus.) Juliao (GB73) (Located below Zhangmen (LR13).) Jianyu (LI15) (Located at the division of the shoulder tip.)
For diseases of the Yang Qiao Mai, these acupoints are suitable for needling.
The Yin Qiao Mai also originates from the middle of the heel, ascends along the medial malleolus to the throat, crosses and penetrates the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). When pathological changes occur in this vessel, it causes flaccidity on the Yang side and tension on the Yin side (i.e., relaxation of the lateral muscles and spasm of the medial muscles). Therefore, it is said... [text missing]. It ascends anterior to the Yingchang (ST9) acupoint, enters the nose, belongs to the inner canthus, and merges with the Taiyang channels. For women, the Yin Qiao serves as the Jing (Regular Channel); for men, the Yin Qiao serves as the Luo (Connecting Channel). The Qiao vessels of both feet are eight chi long, and the Xi-Cleft point of the Yin Qiao is located at Jiaoxin (KI8). When treating diseases of the Yin Qiao Mai, select this acupoint.
Zhaohai (KI6) (Located below the medial malleolus.) Jiaoxin (KI8) (Located above the medial malleolus.)
For diseases of the Yin Qiao Mai, select these two acupoints for needling.
The Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) originates together with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) from the Baozhong (Uterus/Essence Chamber). It ascends along the interior of the spine and serves as the Sea of the Jing-Luo (Meridian System). Its portion floating externally ascends along the abdomen and converges at the throat. If Qi rebels upward causing abdominal tightness and urgency, it becomes difficult to relieve. The Nan Jing (Classic of Difficult Issues) states that the Chong Mai runs parallel to the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel. Based on acupoint verification, the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel ascends two cun lateral to the umbilicus on both sides, while the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel ascends five fen lateral to the umbilicus on both sides. The Zhen Jing (Classic of Acupuncture) records that the Chong Mai, Ren Mai, and Du Mai (Governor Vessel) all originate from the Huiyin (CV1) acupoint. In the abdomen, they traverse the acupoints Youmen (KI15), Tonggu (KI16), Yindu (KI17), Shiguan (KI18), Shangqu (KI19), Huangshu (KI16 - *Note: Text lists Huangshu here but anatomically corresponds to KI16 which is also Tonggu's neighbor or distinct depending on edition, usually KI16 is Tonggu, KI17 Yindu, etc. The text lists specific points*), Zhongzhu (KI21), Siman (KI22), Qixue (KI26), Dahe (KI27), and Henggu (KI11). There are twenty-two acupoints in total, all belonging to the distribution of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel. Thus, it is clear that the Chong Mai runs parallel to the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel.
Youmen (KI15) (Lateral to Juque (RN14).) Tonggu (KI16) (Bilateral to Shangwan (RN13).) Yindu (KI17) (Below Tonggu.) Shiguan (KI18) (Below Yindu.) Shangqu (KI19) (Below Shiguan.) Huangshu (KI16? *Text says below Shangqu, likely referring to a specific point in this context, traditionally KI16 is Tonggu, KI17 Yindu, KI18 Shiguan, KI19 Shangqu, KI20 Huangshu*) (Below Shangqu.) Zhongzhu (KI21) (Below Huangshu.) Siman (KI22) (Below Zhongzhu.) Qixue (KI26) (Below Siman.) Dahe (KI27) (Below Qixue.) Henggu (KI11) (Below Dahe.)
For symptoms of rebellious Qi and abdominal tightness/urgency, select these acupoints for treatment.
