Standard: Fuyang BL58, Feiyang BL59. I will translate as per text sequence but note standard names if necessary. Actually text says "Feiyang Fuyang". Standard meridian flow is Fuyang (BL58) then Feiyang (BL59). The text lists them as "Feiyang Fuyang". I will stick to the text's listing order for translation fidelity or correct to standard flow? The prompt asks for accurate translation. I will translate the names as they appear.)

Gaohuang (BL43): Descending from Pohu to the space between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae, three and a half cun lateral to the midline of the spine. Sit upright with the back curved to locate. *Qianjin Yi Fang* states: First have the patient sit upright with back curved, extend both arms resting on knees, keeping straight, aligning the thumb with the knee cap. Support the elbow with an object to prevent arm movement. Then palpate from the upper angle of the scapula down to the lower head of the scapula. There should be four ribs and three intervals. Based on the scapula, about the width of a side-wise inserted finger, press the empty space among the intervals. If there is a sensation pulling towards the shoulder, this is the point. Moxibustion on both sides: up to one hundred cones, or three to five hundred, even up to one thousand. Qi should descend, flowing like water; stagnant phlegm and chronic diseases will also descend. If the patient is too weak to sit upright, have them lie on their side, pull the upper arm forward to locate the point and moxa. Another method: place the right hand on the left shoulder, where the middle finger slightly falls short is the point; the same applies for the left side.

Kunlun (BL60): Descending from Fuyang to five fen behind the lateral malleolus of the foot, in the depression above the calcaneus, where the fine artery pulses under pressure. Moxibustion: three moxa cones.
