中髎（出自《甲乙经》）位于髀骨外侧，膝盖上方五寸处，肌肉间隙的凹陷中。（《甲乙经》记载）禁止针刺和艾灸（《入门》）。
按语：关于“犊”字，《千金方》、《外台秘要》及以下诸书均写作“渎”。滓遥 庾庸窍隆Ｔ诮鹬小＃ㄉ裼Γ 献愫嵛仆贰９窍隆Ｈ 赶 小＃ㄔ鲎 按《千金方》写作“铫”，《千金翼方》写作“环铫”。髀厌如同两骸厌中的中轴，髀枢指的是髀上廉，即靠近小腹且能活动的部位。其下方直行至膝头处。《气府论》中有“髀枢中旁各一之纹”，恐怕是指阴股横纹将尽之处，碾子骨下旁，即是此穴。屈曲足部并按压时，自然会有凹陷，可容纳手指；伸直时筋骨张起，凹陷便消失。砚子骨，《入门》写作“碾子骨”，《千金翼方》有一种说法没有“子”字，《大全》写作“砚子骰”。此穴与股通相通，“分中”即指分肉之分，“中”即《缪刺论》所说的“刺枢中”，《厥病篇》所说的“侧而取之”，在枢合之中，意指髀枢中。吴昆说：“分中”是穴名，即环跳穴。因为它正当身体的一半，所以叫分中。如果是异说，暂时作为别名记录一下，以显示给学习者看。《外台秘要》说：环跳、风市，怀疑是别名，不对。《医门摘要》说：按此穴，在肩上前后左右的中央，从两乳引绳来取穴，这是荒谬的。
足太阳膀胱经及股部，共有三十六穴。
至阴（出自《灵枢》）位于足小趾末端。为井穴。（《灵枢》）指甲角上，与肉交接的地方。（《素问》）小趾外侧，距离指甲如韭菜叶宽。（《甲乙经》）指甲角。（《千金方》）宛宛中。（《明堂》）

京骨（出自《灵枢》）足外侧，大骨之下，为原穴。（《灵枢》）赤白肉际，凹陷处，按压可得。（《甲乙经》）
按语：杨继洲《针灸聚英》说：小趾本节后的大骨名叫京骨，穴位在骨下，而赤白肉作“赤白骨”，是字的误写。
金门（出自《甲乙经》）又名关梁（《甲乙经》）足太阳经的一个空穴，在足外踝下的凹陷中。（《千金方》）外踝下一寸。（《类经》）阳维脉别属之处。（《甲乙经》）
按语：《针灸聚英》写作“梁关”，《医统》、吴文炳、《大成》同。“一空”即“骨空”。《针灸聚英》写作申脉下一寸，即外踝下一寸五分，靠近白肉处，哪里有骨空？又《神应经》写作外踝下稍后，丘墟后，申脉前，可以说不够详细。在外踝下，可容纳指甲，而定申脉在其下方，摸索骨空而得穴。
申脉（出自《甲乙经》）又名鬼路（《千金方》），又名阳跷（《大全》）。外踝下半寸处。（《素问》）阳跷脉所生，足外踝下，凹陷处，容纳指甲许。（《甲乙经》）禁灸（《入门》）
按语：《资生经》、《发挥》、《入门》、吴文炳、《大成》写作“白肉际”，恐怕不对。此穴在外踝下五分处，容纳指甲许则不到白肉际，故不取。《千金方》说：劳冷气逆腰冷痹，屈伸困难，灸阳跷一百壮，在外踝下，容纳指甲指此穴。《大全》列为一名。据此。
仆参（出自《甲乙经》）又名安邪（《甲乙经》）。跟骨下，凹陷处，拱足可得。足太阳脉所行，为经穴（《甲乙经》）。白肉际。（《明堂》）
按语：下，《医统》写作“上”，误。“为经”，《本输篇》及本书以昆仑为经穴，疑有误。故今删去。
昆仑（出自《灵枢》）外踝之后，跟骨之上，为经穴。（《灵枢》）凹陷中，细脉动应手。（《甲乙经》）外踝，从地直上三寸，两筋骨中。（《千金方》）孕妇刺之会导致堕胎。（《针灸聚英》）
按语：《入门》写作“昆仑”误。《大全》说：又名下昆仑。《资生经》说：《明堂》有上昆仑，又有下昆仑。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》只写昆仑，而不载下昆仑。按《千金翼方》、《明堂》有内昆仑，那么下昆仑不是别名，而是不同的穴位。三昆仑，详见于奇穴部。大概其中一昆仑即此穴。《素问》说：外踝后，灸之。《次注》说：昆仑穴也。
跗阳（出自《甲乙经》）又名附阳（《大全》、《大成》）。阳跷之郄穴。足外踝上三寸，太阳经前，少阳经后，筋骨间。（《甲乙经》）凹陷处。（《明堂》）宛宛中。（《资生经》）飞扬下。（《入门》）
按语：跗，《千金方》、《千金翼方》、《次注》、《外台秘要》、《圣济总录》、《资生经》、《大全》、《宝鉴》写作“付”。《明堂》、《类经》、《针灸聚英》、《入门》、《金鉴》、《医统》写作“附”。吴文炳写作“扬”。少阳胆经也，太阳本经也。诸书都没有异议。然而太阳，恐怕是少阴之误。《大成》引用《针灸聚英》写作“一名付阳”，《大全》也同。附、付、跗相通，不是别名，暂时记录而不删削。
飞扬（出自《灵枢》）又名厥阳（《甲乙经》）。去踝七寸，别走少阴。（《灵枢》）足外踝上。（《甲乙经》）凹陷处。（《明堂》）骨后。（《入门》）
按语：《灵枢》中“扬”写作“阳”，《圣济总录》、《发挥》、《类经》、《金鉴》同。《资生经》、《大全》写作九寸，不对。《刺腰痛篇》说：刺飞扬之脉，在内踝上五寸，少阴之前，与阴经之会，似乎指此穴。《灵枢》、《甲乙经》都说：飞扬，足太阳之络，别走少阴。然而内踝上五寸，则是蠡沟穴。按“内”当作“外”，“五”当作“七”，暂时记录等待智者判断。《刺腰痛篇》新校正有“五寸作二寸为复溜穴”的说法，文字繁琐，故不记录于此。
承山（出自《灵枢》）又名鱼腹，又名肉柱（《甲乙经》），又名伤山（《千金方》）。下去地一尺所。（《素问》）兑肠下，分肉间，凹陷处。（《甲乙经》）
按语：伤山，《宝鉴》、《大成》写作“肠山”，果真是这样。“ ”，《外台秘要》写作“ ”，不对。《资生经》、《针灸聚英》一说腿肚下，《类经》写作腿肚下尖，《入门》写作拱足去地一尺取之。
承筋（出自《甲乙经》）又名 肠，又名直肠（《甲乙经》）。 下陷脉。（《素问》） 肠中央，凹陷处。（《甲乙经》）禁刺（《甲乙经》）
按语： 。《外台秘要》写作“ ”，不对。《千金方》说：胫后，从脚跟上七寸。《类经》、《针灸聚英》、《入门》、《大全》、《金鉴》遵从之。“七寸”二字，误。《次注》作“ 中央如外”，“如外”二字，亦误。《外台秘要》引用《救急方》说：用绳子从脚心下，量到脚踵便截断，度，则回此度从脚跟纵量向上，尽度头当 下际，宛宛中，是穴。《千金方》霍乱篇注，又有取绳度之法，恐导致差错，并不取。
合阳（出自《甲乙经》）膝约纹中央下二寸。（《甲乙经》）
按语：《千金方》、《发挥》、《针灸聚英》、《大成》、《金鉴》写作三寸。《入门》、《大全》、《宝鉴》一说写作一寸，都不对。
委中（出自《素问》）又名 中（《素问》），委中央（《灵枢》），又名血 （《类经》），又名腿凹（《金鉴》）。 中央，为合穴。委而取之（《灵枢》）。约纹中，动脉。（《甲乙经》）曲脚之中，背面取之。又说：膝后屈处。（《次注》）两筋间（《神应经》）陷中（《类经》）令人面挺腹地而取之。（《资生经》）一说：禁灸（《发挥》）
按语：委，屈也。缓缓屈膝而取之。《病形篇》说：屈而取之，就是这里。《素问》说：刺解脉，在 中，结络如黍米，刺之血射以黑，见赤血而已。《次注》说： 中则委中穴。《灵枢》说：膀胱合入于委中央。又说：若脉陷，取委中央。并入一名。《资生经》引用甄权说：曲 内。
委阳（出自《素问》）三焦下输，在足于太阳之前，少阳之后，出于 中外廉，名曰委阳，是太阳络也。手少阳经也。三焦者，足少阳太阴之所将，太阳之别也。上踝五寸，别入贯 肠，出于委阳，并太阳之正，入络膀胱，约下焦。（《灵枢》）屈伸而索之。（同上）膝腕横纹尖。（《入门》）
按语：《四时气篇》说：邪在三焦约，取之太阳大络。《甲乙经》中“索”写作“取”。足太阳之阳，旧作“指”，今据《甲乙经》及诸书订正。前，《千金翼方》、《资生经》写作“后”，而没有“少阳之后”四字，大概是脱文。《甲乙经》、外廉下有两筋间，扶承下六寸，此足太阳之别络也。屈身而取之之文，扶承是承扶之穴。《千金方》、《资生经》、《圣济总录》等，都写作扶承，详于承扶下。扶承下六寸，《千金方》、《外台秘要》、《资生经》、《圣济总录》等都遵从之。然而承扶下六寸者，是殷门穴。殷门注曰：肉 下六寸肉 ，承扶一名也。因知承扶下六寸五字，是殷门之注，误写于此。否则“扶承”二字，是殷门之讹，故不取。屈身是屈伸之讹，《外台秘要》、《入门》同。《资生经》、《类经》、吴文炳、《宝鉴》、《医统》、《金鉴》既作屈伸，是对的。委阳，实在委中之外，两筋间，不问分寸自明。委，屈也。委阳名义，固然。故“扶承下六寸”五字，为衍文。《次注》说：去臀下横纹六寸，也是承袭《甲乙经》的错误。《医学纲目》说：详考《铜人腧穴针灸图经》云：委阳，在承扶下六寸。以今经文考之，当一尺六寸。盖《铜人》之说，始于《甲乙经》，《甲乙经》之说，乃脱简而脱去“一尺”二字也。今按其取穴是。虽然《甲乙经》等，必取近穴以注释，故言 外廉，岂历殷门、浮 而取诸承扶乎？未见经注用尺余。《针灸聚英》六寸，作二寸六分。《医统》、吴文炳，作一寸六分，不可解矣。《入门》作委中外二寸，凿矣。诸家于经注，读“承扶下六寸”字，而不读“ 中外廉”字，此何心哉？《注证发微》削“ 中外廉”字，其疏谬最甚。《次注》谓浮 穴上侧也者，亦误矣。
浮 （出自《甲乙经》）委阳上一寸，屈膝得之（《甲乙经》）。 外廉横纹上一寸。（《增注》）
按语：后人不知《甲乙经》委阳注有衍文，于承扶下五寸取此穴者，妄也。《甲乙经》为“屈膝得之”，可以证明。《千金方》、《千金翼方》写作“展足”，《外台秘要》、《资生经》、《发挥》、《针灸聚英》、《宝鉴》写作“展膝”，不对。
殷门（出自《甲乙经》）肉 下六寸（《甲乙经》）。膝后 上，两筋之间，去臀下横纹六寸。（《次注》）禁灸（《入门》）
按语：肉 ，者，承扶一名。《大成》写作“浮 下三寸”，不对。
承扶（出自《甲乙经》）一名肉 ，一名阴关，一名皮部（《甲乙经》）。尻臀下，股阴肿上约纹中（《甲乙经》）。禁灸（《入门》）
按语：《千金方》、《千金翼方》、《明堂》、《资生经》、《大全》、《入门》写作“扶承”。承扶、扶承，混称通用。《千金方》、《千金翼方》写作“股阴下纹中”，注曰：一云：尻臀下陷纹中。《外台秘要》写作“股阴上冲纹中”，一云：股阴下冲纹中。《明堂》写作“尻臀下衡纹中”。《针灸聚英》写作“股阴上衡纹中”。《入门》写作“横纹中”。《资生经》将“肿”写作“冲”。按“肿”，恐衍文。“衡”，《集韵》与“横”通。“冲”，《说文》通道也，其义似通，然未见指约纹而为冲纹者。“冲”，疑“衡”误。
Zhongliao (Jia Yi) is located on the lateral side of the femur, five cun above the knee, in the depression between the muscle bellies. (Jia Yi) Acupuncture and moxibustion are contraindicated (Ru Men).
Note: The character "Du" is written as "Du" (渎) in Qianjin Fang, Waitai Mi Yao, and subsequent texts. Ziyao Yuyong Qiaolong... [Text contains corrupted characters]. In Jia Yi, it is written as "Huan Diao". Bi Yan is like the axis in the middle of the two Hai Yan; Bi Shu refers to the upper edge of the thigh, that is, the area close to the lower abdomen where movement occurs. Below it, straight down to the knee head. Qi Fu Lun mentions "one pattern on each side of the middle of Bi Shu", which probably refers to the end of the transverse crease of the medial thigh, beside the lower part of the Nianzi bone, which is this acupoint. When the foot is flexed and pressed, there is naturally a depression that can accommodate a finger; when extended, the tendons and bones tense up, and the depression disappears. "Yanzi bone" is written as "Nianzi bone" in Ru Men; Qianjin Yi Fang has a version without the character "Zi"; Da Quan writes it as "Yanzi Tou". This acupoint connects with Tonggu; "Fenzhong" refers to the division of the muscle belly; "Zhong" refers to what is mentioned in Miao Ci Lun as "puncturing Zhong Shu", and in Jue Bing Pian as "taking from the side", in the middle of Shu He Zhong, meaning the middle of Bi Shu. Wu Kun said: "Fenzhong" is the name of the acupoint, which is Huantiao. Because it is exactly at half of the body, it is called Fenzhong. If it is an alternative theory, it is temporarily recorded as an alias to show learners. Waitai Mi Yao says: Huantiao and Fengshi are suspected to be aliases, which is incorrect. Yimen Jianyao says: According to this acupoint, it is in the center of the front, back, left, and right of the shoulder, taking it by drawing a string from both breasts; this is absurd.
The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian and the thigh have a total of thirty-six acupoints.
Zhiyin (Ling Shu) is located at the tip of the little toe. It is the Jing-Well point. (Ling Shu) Above the nail corner, where the nail meets the flesh. (Su Wen) On the lateral side of the little toe, about the width of a leek leaf away from the nail. (Jia Yi) At the corner of the nail. (Qianjin Fang) In the hollow. (Ming Tang)
Tonggu (Ling Shu) Anterior to the proximal interphalangeal joint, on the lateral side. It is the Ying-Spring point. (Ling Shu) In the depression. (Jia Yi)
Note: "Benjie" refers to the proximal joint of the little toe, continuing from the previous text.
Shugu (Ling Shu) Posterior to the proximal interphalangeal joint, in the depression. It is the Shu-Stream point. (Ling Shu) On the lateral side of the little toe. (Jia Yi) At the junction of red and white skin. (Ci Zhu)
Jinggu (Ling Shu) On the lateral side of the foot, below the large bone, it is the Yuan-Source point. (Ling Shu) At the junction of red and white skin, in the depression, obtainable by pressing. (Jia Yi)
Note: Yang Jizhou's Zhenjiu Ju Ying states: The large bone posterior to the proximal joint of the little toe is named Jinggu. The acupoint is below the bone, and "red and white skin" should be "red and white bone", which is a textual error.
Jinmen (Jia Yi), also known as Guanliang (Jia Yi). An empty point of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, located in the depression below the lateral malleolus. (Qianjin Fang) One cun below the lateral malleolus. (Lei Jing) Where the Yang Wei Mai branches off. (Jia Yi)
Note: Zhenjiu Ju Ying writes "Liangguan". Yitong, Wu Wenbing, and Dacheng agree. "Yi Kong" means "Bone Empty". Zhenjiu Ju Ying writes one cun below Shenmai, i.e., one cun five fen below the lateral malleolus, near the white skin; where is the bone empty? Also, Shenying Jing writes slightly posterior to the lateral malleolus, posterior to Qiuxu, anterior to Shenmai, which can be considered insufficiently detailed. Below the lateral malleolus, enough space for a fingernail, and defining Shenmai below it, one feels for the bone empty to locate the point.
Shenmai (Jia Yi), also known as Guilu (Qianjin Fang), also known as Yang Qiao (Da Quan). Half a cun below the lateral malleolus. (Su Wen) Where the Yang Qiao Mai originates, below the lateral malleolus, in the depression, accommodating the size of a fingernail. (Jia Yi) Moxibustion is contraindicated (Ru Men).
Note: Zisheng Jing, Fahui, Ru Men, Wu Wenbing, and Dacheng write "junction of white skin", which is likely incorrect. This acupoint is five fen below the lateral malleolus; accommodating a fingernail does not reach the junction of white skin, so this description is not adopted. Qianjin Fang says: For cold bi syndrome due to labor and qi rebellion causing cold in the waist, difficulty in flexion and extension, moxa Yang Qiao for one hundred burns, located below the lateral malleolus, accommodating a fingernail to this point. Da Quan lists it as an alias. Based on this.
Pucan (Jia Yi), also known as Anxie (Jia Yi). Below the calcaneus, in the depression, obtained by plantarflexing the foot. The path of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, it is the Jing-River point. (Jia Yi) At the junction of white skin. (Ming Tang)
Note: Xia, Yitong writes "Shang", which is an error. "Wei Jing", Ben Shu Pian and this book consider Kunlun as the Jing-River point, suspecting an error. Therefore, it is deleted here.
Kunlun (Ling Shu) Posterior to the lateral malleolus, above the calcaneus, it is the Jing-River point. (Ling Shu) In the depression, fine pulse moves under the fingers. (Jia Yi) Lateral malleolus, three cun straight up from the ground, between two tendons and bones. (Qianjin Fang) Puncture for pregnant women may cause abortion. (Zhenjiu Ju Ying)
Note: Ru Men writes "Kunlun" erroneously. Da Quan says: Also known as Xia Kunlun. Zisheng Jing says: Ming Tang has Shang Kunlun and Xia Kunlun. Tong Ren only lists Kunlun and does not record Xia Kunlun. According to Qianjin Yi Fang and Ming Tang, there is Nei Kunlun; thus, Xia Kunlun is not an alias but a different acupoint. San Kunlun is detailed in the Extraordinary Acupoints section. Presumably, one of them is this acupoint. Su Wen says: Posterior to the lateral malleolus, moxa it. Ci Zhu says: It is the Kunlun acupoint.
Fuyang (Jia Yi), also known as Fuyang (Da Quan, Dacheng). Xi-Cleft point of the Yang Qiao Mai. Three cun above the lateral malleolus, anterior to the Taiyang Meridian, posterior to the Shaoyang Meridian, between tendons and bones. (Jia Yi) In the depression. (Ming Tang) In the hollow. (Zisheng Jing) Below Feiyang. (Ru Men)
Note: Fu, Qianjin Fang, Qianjin Yi Fang, Ci Zhu, Waitai Mi Yao, Shengji Zonglu, Zisheng Jing, Da Quan, Baojian write "Fu". Ming Tang, Lei Jing, Zhenjiu Ju Ying, Ru Men, Jinjian, Yitong write "Fu". Wu Wenbing writes "Yang". Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian is here, Taiyang original meridian is here. All texts have no disagreement. However, Taiyang might be a mistake for Shaoyin. Dacheng cites Zhenjiu Ju Ying writing "also known as Fuyang", Da Quan agrees. Fu, Fu, Fu are interchangeable, not aliases; temporarily recorded and not deleted.
Feiyang (Ling Shu), also known as Jueyang (Jia Yi). Seven cun from the ankle, diverging to Shaoyin. (Ling Shu) Above the lateral malleolus of the foot. (Jia Yi) In the depression. (Ming Tang) Posterior to the bone. (Ru Men)
Note: Ling Shu writes "Yang" as "Yang"; Shengji Zonglu, Fahui, Lei Jing, Jinjian agree. Zisheng Jing, Da Quan write nine cun, which is incorrect. Ci Yaotong Pian says: Puncture the Feiyang vessel, five cun above the medial malleolus, anterior to Shaoyin, meeting the Yin meridians, seemingly referring to this acupoint. Ling Shu and Jia Yi both state: Feiyang is the Luo-Connecting vessel of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, diverging to Shaoyin. However, five cun above the medial malleolus is Ligou acupoint. "Nei" should be "Wai", "Wu" should be "Qi", temporarily recorded awaiting wise judgment. Xin Zheng Jiao of Ci Yaotong Pian has a theory that "five cun" should be "two cun" for Fuliu acupoint; the text is lengthy, so it is not recorded here.
Chengshan (Ling Shu), also known as Yufu, also known as Ruzhu (Jia Yi), also known as Shangshan (Qianjin Fang). One chi below the ground. (Su Wen) Below Duichang, between muscle bellies, in the depression. (Jia Yi)
Note: Shangshan, Baojian, Dacheng write "Changshan", which is correct. , Waitai Mi Yao writes , which is incorrect. Zisheng Jing, Zhenjiu Ju Ying say below the calf; Lei Jing writes the tip below the calf; Ru Men writes take it one chi above the ground with feet arched.
Chengjin (Jia Yi), also known as Chang, also known as Zhichang (Jia Yi). Depressed vessel below . (Su Wen) In the center of Chang, in the depression. (Jia Yi) Acupuncture is contraindicated (Jia Yi).
Note: . Waitai Mi Yao writes , which is incorrect. Qianjin Fang says: Posterior to the tibia, seven cun from the heel. Lei Jing, Zhenjiu Ju Ying, Ru Men, Da Quan, Jinjian follow this. The word "seven cun" is erroneous. Ci Zhu writes "center of like Wai", the words "like Wai" are also erroneous. Waitai Mi Yao cites Jiujifang saying: Use a rope from the sole of the foot to measure to the heel, then cut it off, return this length from the heel upwards longitudinally, the end of the measurement should be at the lower edge of , in the hollow, this is the acupoint. Qianjin Fang Huoluan Pian note also has a method of measuring with a rope, fearing errors, so it is not adopted.
Heyang (Jia Yi) Two cun below the center of the popliteal crease. (Jia Yi)
Note: Qianjin Fang, Fahui, Zhenjiu Ju Ying, Dacheng, Jinjian write three cun. Ru Men, Da Quan, Baojian say one cun, all of which are incorrect.
Weizhong (Su Wen), also known as Zhong (Su Wen), Weizhong (Ling Shu), also known as Xue (Lei Jing), also known as Tui Ao (Jinjian). Center of , it is the He-Sea point. Take it by bending. (Ling Shu) In the popliteal crease, arterial pulse. (Jia Yi) In the middle of bent leg, take from the back. Also said: Behind the knee, in the flexed position. (Ci Zhu) Between two tendons (Shenyjing) In the depression (Lei Jing) Have the person lie prone to take it. (Zisheng Jing) One view: Moxibustion is contraindicated (Fahui)
Note: Wei means bend. Slowly bend the knee to take it. Bingxing Pian says: Bend to take it, that is here. Su Wen says: Puncture the Jie Mai, in , nodules like millet seeds, puncture until black blood shoots out, stop when red blood appears. Ci Zhu says: is Weizhong acupoint. Ling Shu says: The Bladder He-Sea enters Weizhong. Also says: If the vessel is depressed, take Weizhong. Combined with one alias. Zisheng Jing cites Zhenquan saying: Inside the curve.
Weiyang (Su Wen) Lower transport point of the Sanjiao, located on the foot anterior to Taiyang, posterior to Shaoyang, emerging from the lateral aspect of , named Weiyang, it is the collateral of Taiyang. Hand-Shaoyang Meridian. Sanjiao is commanded by Foot-Shaoyang and Taiyin, and is a branch of Taiyang. Five cun above the ankle, diverging to penetrate the intestine, emerging at Weiyang, merging with the main line of Taiyang, entering and connecting with the Bladder, regulating the Lower Jiao. (Ling Shu) Examine by flexing and extending. (Same source) Tip of the popliteal crease. (Ru Men)
Note: Sishi Qi Pian says: Pathogen constrained in Sanjiao, take the large collateral of Taiyang. Jia Yi writes "Suo" as "Qu". Taiyang Yang of the foot was previously written as "Zhi", now corrected according to Jia Yi and other texts. Anterior, Qianjin Yi Fang, Zisheng Jing write "Posterior", missing the four characters "posterior to Shaoyang", likely a textual omission. Jia Yi, lateral aspect below has two tendons between, six cun below Fucheng, this is the collateral branch of Foot-Taiyang. Take it by bending the body. The text "take by bending" refers to Fucheng acupoint. Qianjin Fang, Zisheng Jing, Shengji Zonglu, etc., all write Fucheng, detailed under Chengfu. Six cun below Fucheng, Qianjin Fang, Waitai Mi Yao, Zisheng Jing, Shengji Zonglu all follow it. However, six cun below Chengfu is Yinmen acupoint. Yinmen note says: Six cun below Rou , Rou is another name for Chengfu. Thus, knowing that the five characters "six cun below Chengfu" are notes from Yinmen mistakenly written here. Otherwise, "Fucheng" two characters are corruptions of Yinmen, so not adopted. Qu Shen is a corruption of Qu Shen. Waitai Mi Yao, Ru Men agree. Zisheng Jing, Lei Jing, Wu Wenbing, Baojian, Yitong, Jinjian write Qu Shen, which is correct. Weiyang is actually outside Weizhong, between two tendons, clear regardless of cun measurements. Wei means bend. The meaning of Weiyang is indeed so. Thus, the five characters "six cun below Fucheng" are superfluous. Ci Zhu says: Six cun from the transverse crease below the buttocks, also inheriting the error of Jia Yi. Yixue Gangmu says: Detailed examination of Tong Ren says: Weiyang is six cun below Chengfu. Examining the current classic text, it should be one chi six cun. The Tong Ren theory starts from Jia Yi; the Jia Yi theory lost the two characters "one chi" due to a missing slip. Now examining its location acquisition is correct. Although Jia Yi et al. must use nearby acupoints for annotation, thus mentioning lateral aspect, how could it pass through Yinmen, Fu and take from Chengfu? No classic annotation uses more than one chi. Zhenjiu Ju Ying writes six cun as two cun six fen. Yitong, Wu Wenbing write one cun six fen, which is inexplicable. Ru Men writes two cun outside Weiyang, which is far-fetched. Scholars reading the annotation read "six cun below Chengfu" but do not read "lateral aspect of ", what is their intention? Zhu Zheng Fa Wei deletes "lateral aspect of ", which is the most erroneous. Ci Zhu saying it is on the side above the Fu acupoint is also wrong.
Fu (Jia Yi) One cun above Weiyang, obtained by flexing the knee (Jia Yi). One cun above the transverse crease on the lateral aspect of . (Zeng Zhu)
Note: Later generations did not know that the annotation for Weiyang in Jia Yi contains superfluous text; taking this acupoint five cun below Chengfu is baseless. Jia Yi says "obtained by flexing the knee", which proves this. Qianjin Fang, Qianjin Yi Fang write "extend foot"; Waitai Mi Yao, Zisheng Jing, Fahui, Zhenjiu Ju Ying, Baojian write "extend knee", which is incorrect.
Yinmen (Jia Yi) Six cun below Rou (Jia Yi). Above the popliteal region, between two tendons, six cun from the transverse crease below the buttocks. (Ci Zhu) Moxibustion is contraindicated (Ru Men)
Note: Rou , is another name for Chengfu. Dacheng writes "three cun below Fu ", which is incorrect.
Chengfu (Jia Yi), also known as Rou , also known as Yinguān, also known as Pi Bu (Jia Yi). Below the sacrum and buttocks, in the popliteal crease above the swelling of the medial thigh. (Jia Yi) Moxibustion is contraindicated (Ru Men)
Note: Qianjin Fang, Qianjin Yi Fang, Ming Tang, Zisheng Jing, Da Quan, Ru Men write "Fucheng". Chengfu and Fucheng are used interchangeably. Qianjin Fang, Qianjin Yi Fang write "in the crease below the medial thigh", note says: Alternatively, in the depressed crease below the sacrum and buttocks. Waitai Mi Yao writes "in the upward rushing crease above the medial thigh", alternatively "in the downward rushing crease below the medial thigh". Ming Tang writes "in the horizontal crease below the sacrum and buttocks". Zhenjiu Ju Ying writes "in the horizontal crease above the medial thigh". Ru Men writes "in the transverse crease". Zisheng Jing writes "Chong" for "Zhong". Note: "Zhong" is likely a superfluous character. "Heng" is interchangeable with "Heng" in Jiyun. "Chong" means passage in Shuowen, the meaning seems similar, but there is no reference to the popliteal crease being called Chong crease. "Chong" is suspected to be a corruption of "Heng".
