Eighteen Acupoints on the Left and Right Sides of the Lateral Neck and Nape
Tianrong (TI 17), bilateral. Located posterior to the angle of the mandible, below the earlobe. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Tianyao (TE 16), bilateral. Located in the neck, superior to the clavicle (Quepen), posterior to Tianrong, anterior to Tianzhu, inferior to Wanggu, and superior to the hairline. (Wang Ming states: one cun above the hairline, in the depression.) Needle depth: 1 cun. Retain needle for seven respiratory cycles. Tonification is contraindicated; moxibustion is also contraindicated. If moxibustion is applied, facial swelling and eye closure may occur. Treatment should first involve needling Yifeng (SJ 17), followed by needling Tianyao (TE 16) and Fengchi (GB 20), after which the condition will resolve. If Yifeng (SJ 17) is not needled first, the condition is difficult to treat. Wang Ming states: Needle depth 5 fen. Upon arrival of Deqi, apply reduction method. After reduction is complete, retain the needle for three respiratory cycles, then perform reduction for three respiratory cycles. Tonification is contraindicated; moxibustion is also contraindicated. The text below states: Moxibustion 3 cones. This aligns with the annotation in *Suwen* (Basic Questions).
*Copper Person*, *Mingtang*, and *Shangjing* all state that moxibustion is contraindicated. However, *Xiajing* and the *Suwen* annotation state moxibustion of 3 cones. It is likely that for acupoints where moxibustion is generally prohibited, a small amount of 1 to 3 cones is permitted.
Tianchuang (SI 16), bilateral. Also known as Chuanglong. Located anterior to the large tendon of the neck. Below the angle of the mandible, posterior to the zygomatic arch, in the depression where the arterial pulse is palpable. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. Needle depth: 3 fen.
Tianding (SI 17), bilateral. Located in the neck, directly superior to Quepen (ST 12), one cun posterior to Futu (LI 18). Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. Needle depth: 3 fen. Contraindications are the same as above. Wang Ming states in the lower section: Tianding (likely referring to Tianchuang or a variant name contextually) is located in the neck, directly superior to Quepen (ST 12), one cun posterior to Futu (LI 18) and Qishe (ST 10), in the depression. Moxibustion: 7 moxa cones. The annotation in *Suwen: Qifu Lun* states: Tianding (SI 17) is located in the neck, directly superior to Quepen (ST 12), half a cun posterior to Futu (LI 18) and Qishe (ST 10) using the body-cun measurement. According to *Jiayi Jing* (Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), it is one and a half cun.
Futu (LI 18), bilateral. Also known as Shui Xue. Located one and a half cun posterior to Renying (ST 9). Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. Needle depth: 3 fen. *Suwen* annotation states: Located in the neck, directly below the angle of the mandible, one cun posterior to Renying (ST 9). Take the point with the patient supine and head tilted back.
Quepen (ST 12), bilateral. Also known as Tian Gai. Located in the depression of the clavicle below the shoulder. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. Needle depth: 3 fen. (*Suwen* states: 2 fen.) Do not needle too deeply, as this may cause reverse flow of Qi (dyspnea). Wang Ming states: In the depression of the transverse bone on the shoulder. (*Suwen* agrees). Also known as Tian Gai. The location is on the shoulder.
*Copper Person* states: In the depression of the transverse bone below the shoulder. *Mingtang* states: In the depression of the transverse bone on the shoulder. It also states: The location is on the shoulder. It is likely that *Copper Person* erroneously included the character "below" (xia).
Renying (ST 9), bilateral. Also known as Wu Hui. Located beside the laryngeal prominence, where the carotid artery pulsates. Take the point with the patient supine and head tilted back. Used to observe the Qi of the five Zang organs. It is the site where the Qi of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian emerges.
Moxibustion is strictly prohibited. Improper application may cause injury. Needle depth: 4 fen.
Shuitu (ST 10), bilateral. Also known as Shui Men. Located anterior to the large tendon of the neck, directly inferior to Renying (ST 9) and superior to Qishe (ST 11). Needle depth: 3 fen. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Qishe (ST 11), bilateral. Located in the neck, directly opposite Renying (ST 9), in the depression flanking Tiantu (CV 22). Needle depth: 3 fen. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
