The Front-Mu point of the Large Intestine is Tianshu (ST-25), and the Front-Mu point of the Small Intestine is Guanyuan (CV-4). The Sanjiao (Triple Burner), Pericardium, and Bladder meridians do not have Front-Mu points. For diseases of the five Zang organs and six Fu organs [one must select the Shu-Fu points, Sea points, Back-Shu points, and Front-Mu points for treatment].

The Yuan-Source point of the Gallbladder is Qiuxu (GB-40), the Yuan-Source point of the Liver is Dachong (Taichong, LR-3), the Yuan-Source point of the Small Intestine is Wanggu (SI-4), the Yuan-Source point of the Heart is Shenmen (HT-7), the Yuan-Source point of the Stomach is Chongyang (ST-42), the Yuan-Source point of the Spleen is Taibai (SP-3), the Yuan-Source point of the Large Intestine is Hegu (LI-4), the Yuan-Source point of the Lung is Taiyuan (LU-9), the Yuan-Source point of the Bladder is Jinggu (BL-64), the Yuan-Source point of the Kidney is Taixi (KI-3), the Yuan-Source point of the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is Yangchi (TE-4), and the Yuan-Source point of the Pericardium is Daling (PC-7).

The Hui-Coung point of Blood is Geshu (BL-17), the Hui-Coung point of Qi is Danzhong (CV-17), the Hui-Coung point of Vessels is Taiyuan (LU-9), the Hui-Coung point of Tendons is Yangling (Yanglingquan, GB-34), the Hui-Coung point of Bones is Dashu (BL-11), the Hui-Coung point of Marrow is Jiegu (Xuanzhong, GB-39), the Hui-Coung point of the Zang organs is Zhangmen (LR-13), and the Hui-Coung point of the Fu organs is Zhongwan (CV-12).

Shaoshang (LU-11) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states they are located at the medial end of the thumb, at a distance from the nail corner equivalent to the width of a leek leaf. Since "leek leaf" varies in size, common practice incorrectly takes the area near the nail margin as thin as a thread, failing to examine the position approximately 3 fen away from the nail corner, aligned directly with the head of the first interphalangeal crease. This method applies to all finger tips on both hands and feet.

Hegu (LI-4) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states they are located in the depression between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger. However, common practice erroneously seeks the depression on the radial side of the index finger based on its association with the Yangming meridian, failing to locate the depression specifically between the divergent bones.

Shenmen (HT-7) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states they are located in the depression at the ulnar end of the wrist crease. Common practice fails to distinguish the Yin-Yang meridian affiliations, erroneously seeking the depression at the radial end of the ulnar styloid process on the superficial aspect, nearly crossing into the Taiyang and Shaoyang meridians. This exemplifies how a slight error leads to a massive deviation.

Jianjing (GB-21) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states it is located in the depression on the shoulder, one and a half cun anterior to the greater bone, above the Clavicular fossa (Quepen). It is found by pressing with three fingers, where the depression under the middle finger is the correct spot. Common practice fails to examine this correctly, instead searching blindly across the top of the shoulder bone for the depression between the clavicle and scapula using three fingers.

Jiegu (Xuanzhong, GB-39) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states it is located three cun above the lateral malleolus, taking the "Juelong" (prominence below the fibular head) as the reference. Common practice merely takes the area above the Juelong bone, failing to examine that the meridian runs in the gap between muscle and bone anterior to the Juelong.

Zusanli (ST-36) consists of two acupoints. The *Tongren* text states it is located three cun below the knee, in the depression between the two tendons on the lateral aspect of the tibia. Ba Hui notes: three cun below the knee, measuring horizontally one cun from the lateral edge of the tibia places it exactly in the depression between the two tendons. Pressing between the two tendons should stop the pulse of Chongyang (ST-42) on the dorsum of the foot, which serves as verification. Common practice merely takes the depression on the lateral tibial edge, failing to verify if it lies within the depression between the two tendons.
