Fourteen Acupoints on the Left and Right Sides of the Lateral Face (Plus Two Additional Points)
Shangguan (GB 3, Guest Master): There are two points. Also known as Keyuzhuren. Located at the upper margin of the prominent bone in front of the ear. An opening appears when the mouth is open, with a pulsating artery in the depression. Moxibustion: seven moxa cones. The moxa cone should not be large; use a size comparable to the head of a chopstick. For acupuncture, one must lie on the side with the mouth open to locate the point accurately. Deep insertion is prohibited. Question: Why can it not be inserted deeply? Qibo said: If Shangguan is needled too deeply, it causes yawning with an inability to close the mouth. If Xiaguan retains the needle for a long time, it causes an inability to yawn with a closed mouth and stiff jaw. Therefore, Shangguan should not be needled deeply, and Xiaguan should not retain the needle for long. Mingjia stated: For Keyuzhuren (Shangguan) and Xiaguan, insert one fen, retain the needle, and apply reducing method upon arrival of qi. Moxibustion: seven cones daily, up to two hundred cones. The moxa cone should not be large. When needling or moxibusting these points, one must lie on the side with the mouth open to locate them accurately, and avoid wind. The text below also mentions: one cone.
According to *Suwen: Jin Ci* (Needling Prohibitions): "If one needles Keyuzhuren and penetrates deeply into the middle vessel, it causes internal leakage and deafness." The commentary states: This means that if needled too deeply, the intersecting vessels rupture, causing leakage within the ear. Internal leakage of the vessel prevents qi from nourishing, leading to deafness. If this is true, the consequences go beyond merely causing yawning with an inability to close the mouth. Practitioners using needles must be aware of this.
Xiaguan (ST 7, Lower Gate): There are two points. Located below Shangguan, at the lower margin of the arterial pulse in front of the ear. An opening appears when the mouth is closed, and closes when the mouth is open. Acupuncture: insert four fen, apply reducing method upon arrival of qi. Moxibustion is prohibited. It is also stated: Xiaguan should not retain the needle for long. (See above). Locate the point lying on the side with the mouth closed.
Qianguan (Extra Point): There are two points. Located half a cun behind the eye. Also referred to as a Taiyang point. Indications include wind-heat red eyes, headache, vertigo, and dry eyes. Moxibustion is not applied. Acupuncture: insert three fen. (*Ming Dynasty Copper Man Manual*)
The *Copper Man Manual* lists two points each for Shangguan and Xiaguan, which is consistent with *Suwen*. However, *Mingtang Shangxia Jing* only lists Shangguan and omits Xiaguan, while *Shangjing* only lists Qianguan. Furthermore, Qianguan is not located directly below Shangguan like Xiaguan, suggesting they may be distinct. This is likely an independent Qianguan point, also known as Taiyang point. It treats conditions such as wind-heat red eyes, headache, vertigo, and dry eyes, and is indispensable. Therefore, it is appended after Xiaguan.
Heliao (SI 19, Harmony Liaison): There are two points. Located below the temporal hairline in front of the ear, over the transverse arterial pulse. Acupuncture: insert seven fen. Moxibustion: three cones. *Suwen* commentary states: Below the sharp temporal hairline in front of the ear, over the transverse arterial pulse.
Heliao (SI 19): There are two points. Located in the depression below the sharp temporal hairline in front of the ear. *Mingtang Shangjing* also lists Heliao. "He" is a variant/erroneous form of "He". The point located below the nostrils, five fen lateral to Shuigou (GV 26), is the Heliáo (SI 18) of the *Copper Man Manual* and the *Mingtang Xiajing*. It is possible that *Mingtang Shangjing* erroneously wrote "He" instead of "He". This might cause confusion between Heliao and Tinghui.
Tinghui (GB 2, Hearing Meeting): There are two points. Located in the slight depression anterior to the ear, one cun below Shangguan, where the arterial pulse is palpable. Open the mouth to locate the point. Acupuncture: insert seven fen, retain for three breaths, apply reducing method upon arrival of qi, no tonification needed. Moxibustion: five cones daily, maximum twenty-one cones (three times seven). Reapply ten days later according to previous indications. Mingjia stated: Insert three fen. Avoid cold food and yawning. The text below says: Three cones. (One version calls it Tinghe, another distinguishes Tinghe and Tinghui). Also known as Tinghe.
Ermen (TE 21, Ear Gate): There are two points. Located in the depression of the raised flesh in front of the ear, opposite the ear notch. Acupuncture: insert three fen, retain for three breaths. Moxibustion: three cones. Mingjia states moxibustion is prohibited; if used for disease, do not exceed three cones.
Tinggong (SI 19, Hearing Palace): There are two points. Located in the ear, at the pearl-like prominence the size of a red bean. Acupuncture: insert three fen. Moxibustion: three cones. Mingjia stated: Insert one fen.
Jiache (ST 6, Cheek Carriage): There are two points. Located in the depression at the end of the curved jawbone below the ear. Acupuncture: insert four fen, apply reducing method upon arrival of qi. Moxibustion: seven cones daily, maximum forty-nine cones (seven times seven). Moxa cone size like a large barley grain. Taboos are the same as above. Mingjia stated: Located in the depression two leek-leaf widths below the ear, three cones. Also stated: Behind the curved jawbone below the ear. Qianyun stated: Also known as Jiguan (Joint Mechanism), located eight fen below the ear, slightly forward.
