"Tu" (referring to Liao acupoints), pronounced "chao" in *Guangyun*, describes a deep hollow, i.e., an acupoint depression. In Jiangxi Xi Hengjia moxibustion texts, all "Liao" characters are written as "Tu". Is this due to phonetic similarity? Now all are corrected, though not completely, and there is no need to force it.

2=Title= Song of Acupoints on the Ren Meridian
Ren Meridian divides into three eights. Starts at Hui Yin ascending to Qu Gu. Zhong Ji, Guan Yuan, Yuan to Shi Men. Qi Hai, Yin Jiao, Shen Que stand. Shui Fen, Xia Wan, follow Jian Li. Zhong Wan, Shang Wan, Ju Que rise. Jiu Wei, Zhong Ting, Shang Wan gather. Yu Tang, Zi Gong, Hua Gai tree. Xuan Ji, Tian Tu, Lian Quan clear. Ascend chin then Cheng Jiang receives. Ren Meridian has 24 acupoints. "Ren" means pregnancy/nurturing. Running in the midline of the abdomen, it is the root of female reproduction, one of the extraordinary vessels. The Ren Meridian originates below Zhong Ji, ascends to the pubic hair, follows the abdominal midline, up to Guan Yuan, to the throat, belonging to the Sea of Yin Meridians. Ren and Du share one source but two branches; Du goes from Hui Yin to the back, Ren goes from Hui Yin to the front. The Ren and Du in the human body are like Zi and Wu (North and South) in heaven and earth; Ren and Du refer to abdomen and back, while Zi and Wu refer to North and South; they can be divided and combined. Dividing shows Yin and Yang do not mix; combining shows the seamless unity; one becomes two, two becomes one. The Ren Meridian originates below Zhong Ji, at Hui Yin. From there, following Qu Gu, ascending to the pubic hair, to Zhong Ji, running along the abdominal midline, ascending Guan Yuan, Shi Men, Qi Hai, Yin Jiao, Shen Que, Shui Fen, Xia Wan, Jian Li, Zhong Wan, Shang Wan, Ju Que, Jiu Wei, Zhong Ting, Shang Wan, Yu Tang, Zi Gong, Hua Gai, Xuan Ji, Tian Tu, Lian Quan. Ascending the chin, following Cheng Jiang, circling the lips, to Yin Jiao diverging, connecting to the center below both eyes, meeting Cheng Qi to end. The term "Sea of Yin Meridians": Similarly, human collaterals circulate through all Yin regions; like water, the Ren Meridian is their general manager, hence called the Sea of Yin Meridians.
Hui Yin (CV1): Also named Ping Yi, between the two yins.
Qu Gu (CV2): On the pubic bone, in the depression at the pubic hair, where the artery beats.
Zhong Ji (CV3): 1 cun below Guan Yuan.

However, people vary in size, so one should not rigidly adhere to body inches. Measure from the end of the costal cartilage to the umbilicus as 8 cun, and take points according to proportions.
Shang Wan (CV13): 1 cun below Ju Que, corresponding to 1.5 cun, 3 cun from the xiphoid process.
Ju Que (CV14): 1 cun below Jiu Wei.
Jiu Wei (CV15): At the end of the xiphoid process. Named because the bone hangs down like a dove. It is 0.5 cun below the xiphoid process on the chest. If the xiphoid process is absent, go down 1 cun from the junction of the costal cartilages.

Cheng Jiang (CV24): In the depression below the lower lip, intersection of Ren and Foot-Yangming meridians.
Yin Jiao (GV28): Appears in the Du Meridian, intersection of Ren and Du meridians.
Cheng Qi (ST1): Appears in the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, intersection of Foot-Yangming, Ren, and Foot-Yangming meridians. Note: The direct paths of the Ren and Du meridians are associated with the acupoints in the midline of the abdomen and back. Here we specifically select them to append after the Twelve Regular Meridians, as recorded in *Gu Kong Lun*. Other points like those on the Chong, Dai, Wei, and Qiao meridians actually intersect among the regular meridians and are difficult to compare with the distinct paths of Ren and Du, so they are omitted here. Although omitted for brevity, detailed selection does not harm comprehensive acquisition, so the full chapter on the Eight Extraordinary Vessels is still presented separately on the left. The main text of the Right Fourteen Meridians is consistent with *Jin Lan Xun Jing*.
