The *Jia Yi Jing* states: Wuli is located three cun above the elbow, in the large vessel. The *Yu Pian* explains the character "elbow": it is the joint of the arm. This is the lower segment of the arm. Mi Zijian ordered clerks to write, but pulled their elbows. This refers to the arm joint. One should seek its location based on this description.
