The Hui-Sea point of the Fu organs is Zhongwan (CV12), which is the Front-Mu point of the Stomach. The Qi and Blood of the six Fu organs are derived from the Stomach; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Fu organs.
The Hui-Sea point of the Zang organs is Zhangmen (LR13), which is the Front-Mu point of the Spleen. The Qi and Blood of the five Zang organs are all derived from the Spleen; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Zang organs.
The Hui-Sea point of the Tendons is Yanglingquan (GB34). The tendons of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian converge here. The Liver governs the tendons, and the Gallbladder is its paired organ; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Tendons.
The Hui-Sea point of the Marrow is Xuanzhong (GB39), also known as Juegu. All marrow belongs to the bones; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Marrow. Human ability to walk vigorously depends on the function of the Hui-Sea point Juegu.
The Hui-Sea point of the Blood is Geshu (BL17). Grain Qi passes through the diaphragm to reach the Upper Jiao, where it transforms into essence and blood; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Blood.
The Hui-Sea point of the Bones is Dazhui (GV14). The bones of the shoulders and spine converge here; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Bones. The shoulder's ability to bear heavy loads depends on the function of the Hui-Sea point Dazhui.
The Hui-Sea point of the Vessels is Taiyuan (LU9). At dawn, vessel Qi converges here; therefore, Cun Kou is referred to as the Great Convergence of the Vessels.
The Hui-Sea point of the Qi is Danzhong (CV17). This is the residence of the Zong Qi (Gathering Qi) of the San Jiao, also known as the Upper Sea of Qi; therefore, it is called the Hui-Sea of the Qi.
The *Nan Jing* states: For heat diseases located internally, treat by selecting the Qi Hui-Sea point.
Fei Men (Flying Gate) refers to the lips.
Hu Men (Door Gate) refers to the teeth.
Xi Men (Inhalation Gate) refers to the epiglottis.
Ben Men (Rebelling Gate) refers to the upper opening of the stomach.
You Men (Secluded Gate) refers to the lower opening of the Tai Cang (stomach).

Qi Men (Qi Gate) is the gate for urination, located in the anterior yin region, where urine exits via qi transformation; therefore, it is called the Qi Gate.
(The following ninety-eight extra points)

Bizhun (Extra Point) Two points. Located at the tip of the nasal bridge. Treats rhinophyma (rosacea) on the nose. Prick to bleed.

Yuwai (Extra Point) Two points. Located at the outer canthus of the eye. (Needle 0.1 cun.) Treats eye diseases.

Jingzhong (Extra Point) Two points. Located in the exact center of the black pupil. Acupoint location method: First cover the outer eye with cloth and splash with cold water for one quarter of an hour. Then use a three-edged needle to prick slightly (approx. 0.5 fen deep) at the outer canthus, about 1 fen away from the black pupil. Subsequently, insert a gold needle deeper (several fen) from the side, turning from the upper layer towards the pupil, gently inserting obliquely downwards. Stabilize the corner of the eye; vision will be restored. Remove the needle after one meal time. Gently support the patient to lie supine. Cover the outer eye again with blue cloth and splash with cold water (for three days and nights). Initially, when needling, sit cross-legged upright, hold a bundle of chopsticks with both hands in front of the chest, calm the mind, and gaze straight ahead; this acupoint is easy to locate. For internal cataracts lasting years causing blindness, vision is restored instantly. This is a mysterious point. Those learning ocular acupuncture should first practice on sheep eyes with internal cataracts; only after achieving restoration of sight in sheep eyes should one treat human eyes. Do not act rashly.

(Note: *Qianjin Yi Fang* mentions treating low back pain by moxaing Yaomu, located approximately left and right above the sacrum; it also mentions a point 3 cun below Shenshu (BL23), 1.5 cun lateral to the spine, found by pressing until a depression appears.
