**The Sixteen Acupoints of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian on Both Sides**
**Zhong Chong (PC 9)**. Bilateral. Belongs to Wood in the Five Elements. Located at the radial side of the tip of the middle finger, in the depression approximately the width of a leek leaf distal to the corner of the nail. Acupuncture: Insert 0.1 cun.

**Lao Gong (PC 8)**. Bilateral. Belongs to Fire in the Five Elements. Also known as Wuli. Located in the center of the palm, in the artery between the transverse palmar creases. The point is found where the tip of the ring finger touches when the finger is flexed. Moxibustion: 3 cones. Wang Ming records: Acupuncture insert 0.2 cun. Apply reducing method immediately upon arrival of Qi. Needle only once; needling twice causes deficiency. Moxibustion is contraindicated as it leads to gradual wasting of muscle tissue. Contraindications are the same as above. Wang Bing notes: Moxibustion 3 cones. (Also known as Zhangzhong).
Zhao Qi, in his commentary on *Mencius*, states: The ring finger is the fourth finger of the hand. The current text says the point is where the ring finger touches when flexed, implying the fourth finger is flexed. (It is correct to flex the middle finger instead. The current statement that the fourth finger is flexed is incorrect.)
