经穴秘密上 经穴秘密下
Qi and Blood Characteristics: The material basis of Qi and blood is the abundant Yang Qi located in the upper region (Heavenly Region) of the body.
Movement Pattern: After dissipating heat and undergoing cooling contraction, it transmits downward along the Du Meridian to the Qian Ding (GV 21) acupoint.
Functions and Effects: Raises Yang Qi and lifts sunken conditions; tonifies Qi to secure and prevent collapse.
Treatment Methods: In cases of Cold, apply the tonifying method and moxibustion; in cases of Heat, apply the reducing method by needling to release pathogenic Qi.
21 Qian Ding (GV 21)
Acupoint Meaning: The ascending Qi of the Du Meridian from the anterior is blocked here and cannot continue upward.
Name Explanation: "Qian" refers to the anterior part. "Ding" means to press against or block. The name Qian Ding implies that the ascending Qi of the Du Meridian from the front is blocked at this point and cannot ascend further. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint originates from the Heavenly Region Yang Qi transmitted from Baihui (GV 20) and the Heavenly Region damp-water Qi transmitted from Xihui (GV 22). When the Yang Qi from Baihui reaches this acupoint, it undergoes a change of dissipating heat and cooling contraction; whereas the damp-water Qi from Xihui undergoes a change of absorbing heat and steaming upward when ascending to this acupoint. After these two Qi meet at this acupoint, the descending Qi and blood block the ascending Qi and blood, hence the name "Qian Ding".
Qi and Blood Characteristics: The material basis of Qi and blood is warm water vapor in the Heavenly Region.
Movement Pattern: It is distributed and scattered from this acupoint to various parts of the head.
Functions and Effects: Tonifies Lung Qi and conducts dampness and water.
Treatment Methods: In cases of Cold, apply the tonifying method and moxibustion; in cases of Heat, apply the reducing method by needling to release pathogenic Qi.

"Hui" means intersection. The name Xihui implies that the weak damp-water Qi ascending along the Du Meridian gathers here. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the weak damp-water transmitted from Shangxing (GV 23), which presents a gathered state upon reaching this acupoint, similar to the contracting characteristics of Kidney Qi, hence the name "Xihui". The names Xizhong, Guimen, and Xinmen share the same meaning as Xihui; "Zhong" refers to inside the acupoint, and "Gui" refers to the cold-damp contracting characteristics of the Qi and blood within the acupoint.
2) Tianchuang. "Tian" refers to the Heavenly Region. "Chuang" refers to a window, i.e., a passage for Qi, symbolizing emptiness. The name Tianchuang implies that the Qi and blood of this acupoint are damp-water Qi under the sky, while the Qi and blood in the upper part of the sky are empty. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the weak water vapor transmitted from Shangxing (GV 23), which gathers in the lower part of the sky upon reaching this acupoint, making the Qi and blood in the upper part of the sky appear empty, hence the name "Tianchuang".
3) Dingmen. "Ding" means to squeeze or block. "Men" refers to a gateway for entry and exit. The name Dingmen implies that the ascending Qi of the Du Meridian, after absorbing heat, is blocked here and cannot ascend.

The name Shenting implies that the ascending Qi of the Du Meridian gathers here. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the heat-scattered Qi of the Stomach Meridian and the externally scattered damp-water of the Bladder Meridian, presenting a gathered state at this acupoint. This acupoint serves as a gathering place for the Qi and blood of the Du Meridian's Heavenly Region, hence the name "Shenting". The meaning of Tianting is the same as Shenting.
2) Intersection of the Du Meridian with the Foot-Taiyang and Foot-Yangming Meridians. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint mainly consists of the damp-hot water vapor provided by the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and the externally scattered damp-water provided by the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, thus serving as the intersection of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian and the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian.
Qi and Blood Characteristics: The material basis of Qi and blood is damp-water Qi in the Heavenly Region.
Movement Pattern: Most of it scatters outward to various parts of the head from this acupoint; a small portion absorbs heat and ascends along the Du Meridian to the Shangxing (GV 23) acupoint.
Functions and Effects: Removes dampness and transforms dampness.
Treatment Methods: In cases of Cold, apply the tonifying method and moxibustion; in cases of Heat, apply the reducing method by needling to release pathogenic Qi.
25 Suliao (GV 25)

Acupoint Meaning: The Qi and blood of the Du Meridian liquefy and descend here.
Name Explanation:
Suliao. "Su" originally referred to white raw silk, indicating here that the Qi and blood within the acupoint is cool-damp water vapor with the nature of Metal of the Lung. "Liao" refers to a pore. The name Suliao implies that the Qi and blood of the Du Meridian liquefies and descends here. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the damp-water Qi transmitted from Shenting (GV 24); upon reaching this acupoint, it cools, contracts, and condenses into damp-water cloud vapor, which then descends to the ground from this acupoint. The liquid descending to the ground leaks out like from a small pore, hence the name "Suliao".
Mianwang. "Mian" refers to the face. "Wang" refers to a monarch. The name Mianwang implies that the Qi and blood within the acupoint is the Earth-level Jing Water formed by the cooling descent of Yang Qi of the head and face. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the damp-water Qi transmitted from Shenting (GV 24); upon reaching this acupoint, the damp-water Qi continuously liquefies into Earth-level Jing Water. This cooling-descending water acts like a monarch transforming Qi, hence the name "Mianwang".
The meanings of Mianzheng, Zhengmian, and Miantu are close to that of Mianwang; "Zheng" indicates that the Qi and blood within the acupoint is Earth-level fluid, which is the main substance of facial Qi and blood, and "Tu" refers to the Earth-level location where the Qi and blood within the acupoint resides.
Qi and Blood Characteristics: The material basis of Qi and blood includes damp-water Qi in the Heavenly Region and weak fluids in the Earth Level.

The name Shuigou implies that the cooling-descending fluids of the Du Meridian flow downward along the Earth-level channels here. The Qi and blood substance of this acupoint comes from the Earth-level Jing Water transmitted from Suliao (GV 25); its movement at this acupoint is downward along the Du Meridian, and the microscopic morphology of this acupoint resembles a small channel on the Earth level, hence the name "Shuigou".
2) Renzhong. "Ren" indicates that this acupoint is located in the Human Level among the Heaven, Earth, and Human levels of the head and face. "Zhong" indicates that this acupoint is located on the anterior midline of the head and face. The name Renzhong implies that this acupoint is located in the middle of the nasolabial groove, without other special meanings.
3) Guiliting. "Gui" is opposite to "Tian", referring to the substance within the acupoint being Earth-level Jing Water. "Ketting" refers to a hall for receiving guests. The name Guiliting implies that the Qi and blood within the acupoint is the cooling-descending fluid derived from Qi of the Heavenly Region. This acupoint is located on the Du Meridian, where Qi and blood are predominantly Yang Qi, and Earth-level Jing Water is scarce. However, the Qi and blood of this acupoint is Earth-level Jing Water, which acts like a guest to the Du Meridian's Qi and blood, hence the name "Guiliting". The meanings of Guigong, Guishi, and Guipai are the same as Guiliting.
4) Intersection of the Du Meridian with the Hand-Yangming and Foot-Yangming Meridians. The Earth-level Jing Water of this acupoint is not only formed by the cooling descent of Du Meridian Yang Qi but mainly consists of the cooling-descending fluids from the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, thus serving as the intersection of the Du Meridian with the Hand-Yangming and Foot-Yangming Meridians.
Qi and Blood Characteristics: The material basis of Qi and blood is Earth-level Jing Water.
