铜人云、玉枕在络却后一寸半。明堂上下经皆云七分半。若以铜人为误。则足太阳穴亦同。若
以明堂为误。不应上下经皆误也。（小本明堂亦同。）予按素问注云、玉枕在络却后七分。则
与明堂之七分半相去不远矣。固当从素问为准。然而玉枕二穴既夹脑户矣。不应止七分则至

明堂上经有眉冲穴。而铜人经无之。理目五般痫头痛鼻塞等疾。所不可废者。其穴与曲差相近。故附于此。
偃伏第二行左右十四穴
曲差穴，共两穴。位于神庭穴旁开一寸半处，进入发际线内。针刺深度三分，艾灸三壮。
五处穴，共两穴。位于上星穴旁开一寸半处。针刺深度三分，留针七次呼吸的时间，艾灸三壮。《明堂》记载灸五壮为限。
承光穴，共两穴。位于五处穴后方一寸半处。针刺深度三分，禁止艾灸。禁忌事项与前述相同。《明堂》记载在五处穴后方二寸处。《素问》王冰注记载为一寸。
通天穴，共两穴。位于承光穴后方一寸半处。针刺深度三分，留针七次呼吸的时间，艾灸三壮。
络却穴，共两穴。又名强阳穴，又名为脑盖穴。位于通天穴后方一寸半处。艾灸三壮。《素问》王冰注记载：针刺三分，留针五次呼吸的时间。
玉枕穴，共两穴。位于络却穴后方一寸半处。（《明堂》上下经记载：七分半。）在脑户穴（脑户穴位于强间穴后方一寸半处）旁开一寸三分处。起于肉枕骨，进入发际线上方三寸处。艾灸二壮。《明堂》记载：针刺三分。《素问》王冰注记载：留针三次呼吸的时间。《甲乙经》记载：二分。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：玉枕穴在络却穴后方一寸半处。《明堂上下经》均记载为七分半。如果认为《铜人》是错误的，那么足太阳膀胱经的其他穴位也与之相同。如果认为《明堂》是错误的，《明堂上下经》不应都出错。（小本《明堂》记载也相同）。我考证《素问》王冰注记载：玉枕穴在络却穴后方七分，这与《明堂》的七分半相差无几。因此应当以《素问》为准。然而玉枕两穴既然夹于脑户穴两侧，不应只有七分这么短的距离以至于……
天柱穴，共两穴。夹于项部后发际大筋外侧凹陷中。针刺五分。得气后立即泻法。《明堂》记载：二分，留针三次呼吸的时间，泻法时配合五次吸气。艾灸效果不及针刺。每日可灸七壮至一百零五壮。禁忌事项与前述相同。下文记载：三壮。《素问》王冰注记载：刺二分。
眉冲穴，共两穴。又名小竹穴。正当两眉头直上进入发际线处。治疗目五般痫、头痛、鼻塞等症。不施艾灸。通针三分。
《明堂上经》中有眉冲穴，而《铜人腧穴针灸图经》中没有。这是治疗目疾、五般痫、头痛、鼻塞等病症所不可废弃的穴位。因其穴位位置与曲差穴相近，故附记于此。
Fourteen Acupoints on the Second Row of the Recumbent Position, Left and Right
Qucha (BL5) [Qucha (BL5), Curved Difference]: Two acupoints. Located one-and-a-half cun lateral to Shenting (GV24) [Shenting (GV24), Spirit Pavilion], entering the hairline. Needle depth: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Wuzhu (BL8) [Wuzhu (BL8), Five Places]: Two acupoints. Located one-and-a-half cun lateral to Shangxing (GV23) [Shangxing (GV23), Upper Star]. Needle depth: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths; Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. The *Mingtang* [Mingtang, Hall of Light (a classical acupuncture text)] states that five moxa cones are the limit.
Chenguang (BL9) [Chenguang (BL9), Inherited Light]: Two acupoints. Located one-and-a-half cun posterior to Wuzhu (BL8). Needle depth: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion is prohibited. Contraindications are the same as above. The *Mingtang* states it is two cun posterior to Wuzhu. Wang Bing’s commentary on the *Suwen* [Suwen, Basic Questions of the Yellow Emperor (a classic TCM text)] states it is one cun.
Tongtian (BL7) [Tongtian (BL7), Connecting Heaven]: Two acupoints. Located one-and-a-half cun posterior to Chenguang (BL9). Needle depth: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for seven breaths; Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Luque (BL6) [Luque (BL6), Blocking Evil]: Also known as Qiangyang (Strong Yang) or Naogai (Brain Cover). Located one-and-a-half cun posterior to Tongtian (BL7). Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. Wang Bing’s commentary on the *Suwen* states: Needle 0.3 cun; retain needle for five breaths.
Yuzhen (BL9) [Yuzhen (BL9), Jade Pillow]: Two acupoints. Located one-and-a-half cun posterior to Luque (BL6). (The *Mingtang* Upper and Lower Classics state: 0.75 cun.) Located one-and-a-third cun lateral to Naohu (GV17) [Naohu (GV17), Brain Door] (which is located one-and-a-half cun posterior to Jiangjian (GV19)). It originates from the Rouchen bone, entering the hairline three cun above. Moxibustion: 2 moxa cones. The *Mingtang* states: Needle 0.3 cun. Wang Bing’s commentary on the *Suwen* states: retain needle for three breaths. The *Jiayi Jing* [Jiayi Jing, Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion] states: 0.2 cun. The *Tongren* [Tongren, Copper Man Manual] states: Yuzhen is one-and-a-half cun posterior to Luque. Both the Upper and Lower *Mingtang* classics state 0.75 cun. If the *Tongren* is considered erroneous, then the other acupoints of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian would also be consistent with this error. If the *Mingtang* is considered erroneous, it is unlikely that both the Upper and Lower Classics would be wrong simultaneously. (The small edition of the *Mingtang* agrees.) I have examined Wang Bing’s commentary on the *Suwen*, which states that Yuzhen is seven fen posterior to Luque. This is not far from the 0.75 cun stated in the *Mingtang*. Therefore, the *Suwen* should be taken as the standard. However, since the two Yuzhen acupoints flank Naohu, they should not be only seven fen short, leading to...
Tianzhu (BL10) [Tianzhu (BL10), Heavenly Pillar]: Two acupoints. Located in the depression lateral to the large tendons at the posterior hairline of the neck. Needle depth: 0.5 cun. Upon obtaining Deqi [Deqi, Arrival of Qi (acupuncture sensation)], apply draining method immediately. The *Mingtang* states: 0.2 cun; retain needle for three breaths; draining method coordinated with five inhalations. Moxibustion is less effective than needling. One may moxa daily from 7 to 105 cones. Contraindications are the same as above. The following text states: 3 moxa cones. Wang Bing’s commentary on the *Suwen* states: needle 0.2 cun.
Meichong (BL1) [Meichong (BL1), Eyebrow Rushing]: Also known as Xiaozhu (Small Bamboo). Located directly above the inner ends of the eyebrows, entering the hairline. Treats five types of eye epilepsy, headache, nasal congestion, etc. Do not moxa. Needling depth: 0.3 cun.
The *Mingtang Shangjing* [Mingtang Shangjing, Upper Classic of the Hall of Light] includes the Meichong acupoint, whereas the *Tongren* does not. This acupoint cannot be discarded for treating eye disorders, five types of epilepsy, headache, nasal congestion, and other diseases. Since its location is close to Qucha (BL5), it is appended here.
