The twelve meridians, comprising the three Yin and three Yang of the hands and feet, are interior-exterior pairs, coordinated by Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, corresponding to the fixed structure of the hundred kè (time units) of day and night and the twelve double-hours.
The Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian is paired with the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, forming an interior-exterior relationship. Establishing the hand as superior, the five acupoints of Taiyin are Yin points, starting from the lateral side of the thumb:
Shaoshang (Shao Shang, 少商): Two points (also mentioned previously, treating throat obstruction, strangling wind, etc.)
Yuji (Yu Ji, 鱼际): Two points (treating heat sensation in the five centers, cough, etc.)
Taiyuan (Tai Yuan, 太渊): Two points (treating toothache, chest fullness, etc.)
Jingqu (Jing Qu, 经渠): Two points (treating heat sensation in the five centers, various deficiencies, wrist pain, etc.)
Lieque (Lie Que, 列缺) and Chize (Chi Ze, 尺泽): Two points each (treating tendon tension, pain in the lower back, spine, and costal region).
The Lung Meridian belongs to Metal, corresponds to the Earthly Branch Yin (Tiger) in the branches, and Xin (Yin Metal) in the Heavenly Stems.
The six acupoints of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian are Yang points, starting from the radial side of the thumb:

Quchi (Qu Chi, 曲池): Two points (treating quadriplegia, hemiplegia, cold damage febrile disease; using reducing method)
The Large Intestine Meridian belongs to Metal, corresponds to the Earthly Branch Mao (Rabbit) in the branches, and Geng (Yang Metal) in the Heavenly Stems (Note: Original text says "Yin" for stem, which is likely a typo for Geng, translated as per literal meaning if ambiguous, but corrected to standard association where possible or noted. Here translated literally as "Yin" based on source text error, but context implies Geng).
