Acupuncture: Insert 0.1 cun. Wang Ming records: located in the depression below the prominent bone anterior to the wrist on the ulnar side. Moxibustion: 3 cones.
**Wan Gu (SI 4)**. Bilateral. Located in the depression below the prominent bone anterior to the wrist on the ulnar side. Moxibustion: 3 cones. Acupuncture: Insert 0.2 cun. Retain needle for 3 breaths.

**The Sixteen Acupoints of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian on Both Sides**
**Zhong Chong (PC 9)**. Bilateral. Belongs to Wood in the Five Elements.

The point is found where the tip of the ring finger touches when the finger is flexed. Moxibustion: 3 cones. Wang Ming records: Acupuncture insert 0.2 cun. Apply reducing method immediately upon arrival of Qi. Needle only once; needling twice causes deficiency. Moxibustion is contraindicated as it leads to gradual wasting of muscle tissue.

Zhao Qi, in his commentary on *Mencius*, states: The ring finger is the fourth finger of the hand. The current text says the point is where the ring finger touches when flexed, implying the fourth finger is flexed. (It is correct to flex the middle finger instead. The current statement that the fourth finger is flexed is incorrect.)
