Zhongfu (LU-1) (also known as Yingzhongshu) is located one cun below Yunmen (LU-2), six cun lateral to the anterior midline, in the depression between the third rib above the nipple. There is a palpable arterial pulse here; it should be located with the patient in a supine position. This point is the Front-Mu point of the Lung. (Mu refers to the gathering place where meridian Qi converges. Other points follow this example.) It is the intersection of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian. Needle depth: 0.3 cun; retain needle for five breaths; moxibustion: 3 or 5 moxa cones. (*Piya* states: "Zhuang" refers to the dosage standard based on robust adults.)

Tianfu (LU-3) is located on the medial aspect of the chest, three cun below the axilla, in the depression with a pulsating artery. Locate it by inhaling through the nose. Needle depth: 0.4 cun; retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion is contraindicated, as it may cause reverse flow of qi.
Indications: Sudden bi-syndrome with internal reverse flow of qi, conflict with Liver pathogenic factors, sudden onset of evil wind pathogens, bleeding from mouth and nose, Feishi Guizhu (parasitic or ghost-related diseases), delirium, weeping, forgetfulness, asthma, inability to sleep peacefully, malaria with chills and fever, vertigo, goiter. *Qianjin Yifang* records: For heavy body, excessive drowsiness without awareness, moxibustion of 50 cones; needle 0.3 cun using the tonification method.

Lieque (LU-7) is located one cun and five fen above the posterior border of the radial styloid process. Hua Shi says: Cross hands, and the point is in the depression between the bone and tendon at the end of the index finger. This is the Luo-Connecting point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian; from behind the wrist, it branches off to connect with the Yangming Meridian, extending straight to the medial end of the index finger. In individuals with a reversed radial pulse (Guanmai), the normal pulses at Cun, Guan, and Chi are not visible but appear at Lieque and Yangxi. This indicates deficiency of the main meridian and fullness of the collateral vessels. *Qianjin Yifang* describes this as inverted Yang pulses, which are three times larger than the Cun Kou pulse.

Jingqu (LU-8) is located in the depression at Cun Kou. It is the Jing-River point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. Needle depth: 0.3 cun; retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion is contraindicated, as it harms the Shen (Spirit).
Indications: Malaria with chills and fever, stiffness and distension of the chest and back, throat obstruction, cough and reverse flow of qi, frequent yawning, Cold Damage heat disease with no sweat, heart pain, and vomiting. *Baizheng Fu* records: Combined with Dadu (SP-2), it treats heat disease with no sweat.
