The song says: There are fifteen collateral vessels (Luo Mai, 络脉) in the human body. I will now list them one by one from the beginning. The collateral vessel of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian is Lieque (LU-7). The collateral vessel of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian is Tongli (HT-5). The collateral vessel of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is Neiguan (PC-6). The collateral vessel of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian is Guangming (GB-37).

Below Yingchang (ST-9), between the two bones. Tianfu (LU-3) is found in the depression three cun below the axilla. Taiyuan (LU-9) is at the end of the transverse crease of the wrist. Yuji (LU-10) is among the dispersed pulses behind the metacarpophalangeal joint. Shaoshang (LU-11) is sought on the medial side of the thumb. There are eleven acupoints in total for your calculation.
The Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian belongs to the Large Intestine. Shangyang (LI-1) is on the medial side of the index finger. Erjian (LI-2) is determined by taking the point anterior to the proximal interphalangeal joint. Sanjian (LI-3) is taken posterior to the proximal interphalangeal joint. Hegu (LI-4) is established one cun below the depression between the first and second metacarpal bones (Qigu). Shangjuxu (ST-37) is three cun below Quchi (LI-11). When the elbow is flexed, the gap at the head of the transverse cubital crease is Quchi (LI-11). Examine the outer edge of the large bone of the elbow.

Jiache (ST-6) is truly located five fen below the ear. Chengqi (ST-1) is near seven cun below the eye (Note: Textual error likely, standard is 0.7 cun). Shuitu (ST-10) is in front of the large tendon of the neck. Directly below is Qishe (ST-11), leading up to Yingchang (ST-9). Qishe is below Yingchang, flanking Tiantu (CV-22). Quepen (ST-12) is close within the depression of the clavicle. Qihu (ST-15) and Yufu (BL-25? Note: Text likely refers to chest area points, Yufu is BL-25 but location description matches chest wall points like Kongzhu or similar, sticking to text: "Yufu") are two cun lateral. Six cun and four fen directly from the nipple. Kufang (ST-16), Wuyi (ST-17), and Yingchuang (ST-18) are near each other. Directly opposite the center of the nipple is Rugen (ST-17). Rugen (ST-18) emerges below the nipple. These five acupoints are each one cun and six fen apart. Burong (ST-19) is adjacent to Youmen (CV-15) by one cun and five fen. Chengman (ST-20), Liangmen (ST-21), and Guanmen (ST-22) follow. Taiyi (ST-23) is arranged next to Hairoumen (ST-24). Each separated by one cun, the acupoints are complete. Tianshu (ST-25) is placed lateral to the umbilicus. Wailing (ST-26) is one cun below Tianshu. Daju (ST-27) is at two cun, and Shuidao (ST-28) is at five cun. Guilai (ST-29) is its home at seven cun.
