Six Acupoints on the Midline of the Anterior Face
Su Liao (Face King): Also known as Mian Wang. Located at the tip of the nasal bridge. The *Waitai Mi Yao* states: moxibustion is contraindicated. Needle depth: 1 fen.
Shui Gou (Ren Zhong): Also known as Ren Zhong. Located below the nasal bridge. Needle depth: 4 fen. Retain the needle for five breaths. Discharge immediately upon arrival of Qi. Moxibustion is less effective than needling. Three moxa cones daily. If moxibustion is applied, the cone should be the size of a small sparrow's droppings. For wind-water facial edema, needling this acupoint will drain the water and cure the condition instantly. Contraindications are the same. Yang Ming states: three moxa cones daily, up to two hundred cones total. For water qi disorders, only needling this acupoint is suitable; if other acupoints are needled, draining the water may lead to death. The lower text states: five moxa cones.
Dui Duan: Located at the upper end of the lip. Needle depth: 2 fen. Three moxa cones. Cone size: like a large barley grain. Yang Ming in the lower text states: located anterior to the chin, below the lower lip. Open the mouth to locate.
Yin Jiao: Located within the lip, in the tendon of the upper gum seam. Needle depth: 3 fen. Three moxa cones.
Cheng Jiang (Xuan Jiang): Also known as Xuan Jiang. Located in the depression anterior to the chin, below the lower lip. Seven moxa cones daily, stopping after forty-nine (7x7) cones. After moxibustion, blood vessels become unobstructed and Qi circulates freely; wind pathogens are cured instantly. Cone size: like the head of a chopstick. Needle depth: 3 fen. Discharge immediately upon arrival of Qi. Contraindications are the same. Yang Ming states: located anterior to the chin, below the lower lip. Needle depth: 3.5 fen. Discharge immediately upon arrival of Qi. After discharging fully, retain for three breaths. Slowly guide the Qi out. Seven moxa cones daily. After exceeding forty-nine cones, pause for four to five days, then resume forty-nine cones. Continuous moxibustion may sever the Foot-Yangming meridian, causing wind disorders to persist. Pause, then resume to restore circulation and cure wind instantly. The lower text states: located in the depression below the ridge of the lower lip.
Lian Quan (She Ben): Also known as She Ben. Located above the laryngeal prominence under the mandible. (Yang Ming states: between the root of the tongue.) Three moxa cones. Needle depth: 3 fen. Discharge immediately upon arrival of Qi. Yang Ming states: 2 fen. (*Qian Jin Fang* states: in the depression behind the bone directly below the chin).
Ten Acupoints on the Second Row of the Anterior Face (Left and Right)
Zan Zhu (Two points): Also known as Shi Guang, Guang Ming, Yuan Zhu. Located in the slight depression at the medial ends of the eyebrows. Moxibustion is contraindicated. Needle depth: 1 fen. Exhale during insertion, discharge during three inhalations. Withdraw the needle slowly. It is advisable to use a fine three-edged needle to release heat. After three sessions of needling, vision becomes clear. Contraindications are the same. Yang Ming states: use a fine three-edged needle to bleed 3 fen deep. The lower text states: one moxa cone.
Jing Ming (Two points): Also known as Lei Kong. Located at the inner canthus of the eye. Needle depth: 1.5 cun. Retain for three breaths. For patients with night blindness (Que Mu), retain the needle for a long time, then withdraw quickly. Moxibustion is prohibited. Contraindications are the same. Yang Ming states: located in the depression lateral to the inner canthus. Needle depth: 0.5 fen. Retain for three breaths. Tonification method: moxibustion is contraindicated. Another source says: at the inner canthus. According to the *Ming Tang Jing*: needle depth 1.5 fen. The *Tong Ren Shu Xue Zhen Jiu Tu Jing* states 1.5 cun. One of these must be an error. I observe that for facial needling, shallow depths are 1 fen, and deep depths are 4 fen. The commentary on *Su Wen: Qi Fu Lun* also states needle depth 1 fen. Thus, the *Tong Ren* likely erroneously wrote "1 cun" instead of "1 fen".
Ju Liao (Two points): Located 8 fen lateral to the nostrils, level with the pupil. Intersection of the Qiao Mai and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Needle depth: 3 fen. Discharge immediately upon arrival of Qi. Seven moxa cones. Yang Ming states: Ju Liao is below the nostrils, 8 fen lateral to Shui Gou. Intersection of the Qiao Mai and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Needle depth: 3 fen. Forty-nine (7x7) moxa cones.
Ying Xiang (Two points): Located 1 cun above He Liao, 5 fen lateral to the nasal alar groove. Needle depth: 3 fen. Retain for three breaths. Moxibustion is contraindicated. Contraindications are the same.
He Liao (Two points): Located below the nostrils, 5 fen lateral to Shui Gou. The Hand-Yangming Meridian text states: He Liao is also called Chang Pin, directly opposite the nasal groove, 5 fen lateral. Yang Ming states: He Liao is below the nostrils, 5 fen lateral to Shui Gou. The lower text states: He Liao is below the nostrils, 5 fen lateral to Shui Gou. The *Tong Ren* records He Liao (two points) below the nostrils, 5 fen lateral to Shui Gou. The lower *Ming Tang Jing* writes "He Liao"; "Liao" refers to "Kao" (depression). The upper classic writes "He Liao", stating it is below the nostrils, 5 fen lateral to Shui Gou. Thus, they refer to the same acupoint. However, the *Tong Ren* Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian lists another pair of He Liao points in the depression of hair anterior to the ear, which is far away. It is likely that the upper *Ming Tang Jing* erroneously wrote "He" instead of "He" (referring to the character variant or error context implies confusion between He Liao and another point, but the text argues for He Liao being the correct identification for the nasal location). (Current collation of classics confirms He Liao is the correct term for this location).
