**Zulinqi (GB15, Nourishing the Eye)** (Note: In standard nomenclature, this corresponds to **Zulinqi GB15**, but the text describes **Mu Chuang GB16** location or similar. Based on text "In the depression 0.5 cun above the hairline above the eye", this matches **Zulinqi GB15** description in some texts, but standard Zulinqi is GB15. However, the text says "Lin Qi" here. Let's stick to the text's name "Lin Qi" but note it refers to the point described. Actually, standard **Zulinqi GB15** is 1.5 cun above the pupil. The text says "0.5 cun above hairline". This matches **Mu Chuang GB16** or **Zheng Ying GB17** locations in some contexts, but let's translate literally as "Lin Qi" as per text, likely referring to **Zulinqi GB15** or a variant naming. Wait, later there is another "Lin Qi" at the foot. This one is on the head. Standard text for **Zulinqi GB15** is "1.5 cun above the pupil". The text here says "0.5 cun above hairline above the eye". This is actually the location of **Mu Chuang GB16** in some older texts or a specific variation. I will translate as "Lin Qi (Head)" to distinguish from the foot point.) -> *Correction*: The text says "Lin Qi" at the head. Standard **Zulinqi GB15** is higher. This description "0.5 cun above hairline above the eye" often refers to **Mu Chuang GB16** in modern standards, but historically might be called Lin Qi. I will use **Lin Qi (Head)**. It is the meeting point of the Foot-Shaoyang, Foot-Taiyang, and Yang Wei Vessels. (Needle 0.3 cun; prohibit moxibustion). Indications: Vertigo, corneal opacity, fright epilepsy with upward gaze.
**Mu Chuang (GB16, Window of the Eye)** (Also known as Zhi Rong, Highest Glory): Located 1.5 cun posterior to Zulinqi (GB15). (Other editions say 1 cun, which is an error). It is the meeting point of the Foot-Shaoyang and Yang Wei Vessels. (Needle 0.3 cun; Moxibustion 5 moxa cones). Indications: Vertigo and pain of the head and eyes, blurred distance vision.
**Zheng Ying (GB17, Bearing Nutrition):** Located 1.5 cun posterior to Mu Chuang (GB16). (Other editions say 1 cun, which is an error).
