中府穴（又名膺俞），位于云门穴下方一寸六分，乳头上方第三肋间隙，动脉搏动应手的凹陷处。距离华盖穴（任脉穴位名）旁开六寸。取穴时宜仰卧。此穴为肺之募穴，是手太阴肺经与足太阴脾经的交会穴。（针刺三分，艾灸五壮。）主治肺气急迫、胸部胀满、气短不能平卧。
云门穴，位于巨骨穴下方，胃经气户穴旁开二寸，两穴之间相距六寸。动脉搏动应手的凹陷处。取穴时需举起手臂。（针刺三分，艾灸五壮。）主治四肢发热不退、咳嗽气逆、呼吸短促、喉痹、瘿气（颈部肿块）、手臂疼痛无法抬起。
天府穴，位于上臂内侧，腋下三寸处的动脉凹陷中。取穴方法是将墨点点在鼻尖，向下对齐至手臂处即为该穴。（针刺四分，禁止艾灸，若施灸会导致气息紊乱。）主治胡言乱语、健忘、鼻出血、喘息、疟疾寒热交替、头晕目眩、瘿气。
侠白穴，位于天府穴下方，肘横纹向上五寸处的动脉中。此为手太阴肺经的别络。（针刺三分，艾灸五壮。）主治心痛、气短。
尺泽穴，位于肘横纹中，屈肘时肘横纹两筋之间的动脉凹陷处。此处为肺经经脉之气深入汇合之处，即“合”穴。实证采用泻法。（针刺三分，艾灸五壮。）主治心烦气短、喉痹、口干、咳血、小便频数、肩痛、四肢肿胀、易打喷嚏、悲伤哭泣、小儿慢惊风。

(A total of twenty-two acupoints on the left and right sides)
Diagram of Acupoints of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian
Zhongfu (LU-1, also known as Ying Shu), located 1.6 cun below Yunmen (KI-22? No, Yunmen is LU-2), in the third intercostal space above the nipple, in the depression where the arterial pulse is palpable. It is 6 cun lateral to Huagai (CV-19, an acupoint of the Ren Mai). The patient should assume a supine position for access. This point is the Front-Mu point of the Lung and the intersection of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian. (Needle 0.3 cun; moxibustion 5 cones.) Indications: acute lung qi stagnation, chest fullness, shortness of breath preventing recumbency.
Yunmen (LU-2), located below Jugu (SI-1), 2 cun lateral to Qihu (ST-15 of the Stomach Meridian), with a distance of 6 cun between them. Located in the depression where the arterial pulse is palpable. Raise the arm to locate the point. (Needle 0.3 cun; moxibustion 5 cones.) Indications: persistent heat in the four limbs, cough with counterflow qi, shortness of breath, throat obstruction (Hou Bi), goiter (Ying Qi), arm pain with inability to lift.
Tianfu (LU-3), located on the medial aspect of the upper arm, 3 cun below the axilla, in the depression of the arterial pulse. To locate, place an ink mark on the tip of the nose and align vertically to the arm. (Needle 0.4 cun; Moxibustion is contraindicated, as it may cause qi dysregulation.) Indications: incoherent speech, forgetfulness, epistaxis, wheezing, malaria with alternating chills and fever, vertigo, goiter.
Xiabai (LU-4), located below Tianfu, 5 cun above the elbow crease, in the arterial pulse. This is the Luo-Connecting point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. (Needle 0.3 cun; moxibustion 5 cones.) Indications: heart pain, shortness of breath.
Chize (LU-5), located at the center of the elbow crease, in the depression between the two tendons when the elbow is flexed, where the arterial pulse is palpable. Here, the Lung meridian qi enters deeply, forming the He-Sea point. For excess patterns, apply the reducing method. (Needle 0.3 cun; moxibustion 5 cones.) Indications: vexation, shortness of breath, throat obstruction, dry mouth, hemoptysis, frequent urination, shoulder pain, edema of the four limbs, tendency to sneeze, weeping/crying, slow convulsions in infants.
Kongzui (LU-6), located 7 cun above the wrist crease, in the depression between the radius and ulna. Locate with the body turned to the side. This is the Xi-Cleft point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. (Same as Xi point, needle 0.3 cun; moxibustion 5 cones.) Indications: elbow and arm pain, difficulty in flexion and extension, cough with counterflow qi, hematemesis, aphonia, sore throat.
Lieque (LU-7), located 1.5 cun above the wrist crease on the radial side. Cross the hands; the point is located in the gap between the bone and tendon where the tip of the index finger falls. This is the Luo-Connecting point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, which connects to the Yangming Meridian. In some individuals, the Cun, Guan, and Chi pulses are not palpable at their standard positions but appear at the Yang pulse position near Lieque, known as "Fan Guan Pulse" (Reverse Guan Pulse). This indicates deficiency of the Jing-Meridian and fullness of the Luo-Vessel. *Qianjin Yi Fang* states that when the Yang pulse reverses and is three times larger than the Cun Kou, this is the case. (Needle 0.2 cun; moxibustion 7 cones.) Indications: chills and fever malaria, hemiplegic headache, epilepsy with jaw lock, cough, lower toothache.
Jingqu (LU-8), located in the depression at Cun Kou, where the arterial pulse is palpable. Here, the Lung meridian qi flows through, forming the Jing-River point. (Needle 0.2 cun; Moxibustion is contraindicated.) Indications: stiffness and tension of the chest and back, throat obstruction, cough with counterflow qi, heart pain, vomiting, febrile disease with absence of sweating.
Taiyuan (LU-9), located in the arterial pulse at the head of the transverse crease on the medial aspect of the wrist. Here, the Lung meridian qi pours into, forming the Shu-Stream point. (For Yin meridians, the Shu-Stream point is identical to the Yuan-Source point, following this pattern.) For deficiency patterns, apply the tonifying method. This is the Hui-Meeting point of the Vessels. At dawn during the Yin hour (3–5 AM), qi and blood begin to flow from here; thus, it is said that Cun Kou is the great assembly of pulses. (Needle 0.2 cun; moxibustion 3 cones.) Indications: chest bi syndrome, counterflow qi, hiccups/vomiting, cough, heart pain, dry throat, leukoma (white opacity of the eye).
Yuji (LU-10), located in the depression at the medial border of the white skin behind the first metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. Here, the Lung meridian qi slips through, forming the Ying-Spring point. (Needle 0.2 cun; Moxibustion is contraindicated.) Indications: aphonia, dry throat, vexation, vertigo.
Shaoshang (LU-11), located on the medial side of the thumb, approximately the width of a leek leaf from the corner of the nail. Here, the Lung meridian qi emerges, forming the Jing-Well point. (Needle 0.1 cun; induce bleeding to drain heat from the zang organs; Moxibustion is contraindicated.) Indications: swelling of the mandible, throat obstruction, malaria with shivering chills.
