The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine states that there are twelve meridians in the human body to correspond to the twelve months and three hundred and sixty-five joints to correspond to a year, which actually means that there are three hundred and sixty acupuncture points in the human body. The number of acupuncture points has slowly accumulated over the ages, and by the Ming Dynasty, in the Dacheng of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, it was recorded that there were three hundred and sixty-one points. For example, the bladder meridian has the most acupuncture points, with 67, while the heart meridian and pericardium meridian have the least, with nine points each. With such a large number of acupuncture points, which ones are available in clinical practice? A doctor in the Ming Dynasty developed twelve acupuncture points because of their convenience and effectiveness, and called them “Ma Danyang Tianxing Twelve Points” in the Dacheng of Acupuncture. The twelve acupuncture points are all located on the “main meridian” and are all important points, such as the five Yu points, the original points, the points on the luo points or the points on the large joints, etc. They are very useful and effective in clinical application; almost all of these twelve points can be used to treat all diseases of the body. In the “Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng”, it is compiled as “Ma Danyang Tianxing Twelve Acupuncture Points for Miscellaneous Diseases”, and its general recipe is written as follows: “Sanli Neiting Point, Quchi Hegu, Wei Zhong with Cheng Shan, Taichong Kunlun, Huanjiao and Yangling, Tongli and Li Lack; Hetan and Fetan, Hetan and Fetan, 360 points, not There are twelve tips. The cure is like a divine spirit, like a soup splashed with snow, the Beidou descends to the true machine, and the golden lock teaches to open up. The best people can teach, the bandits do not say.” It means that although there are 360 acupuncture points, without these 12 acupuncture points, as long as the prescriptions for tonic and diarrhea are correct, all diseases can be cured. And it is also said that the cure is like a divine spirit, which heals instantly, just like pouring hot water on the snow, which melts in a flash. It is also said that these acupuncture points are taught by the God of the North. Therefore, once the needle is stuck into the acupuncture point, even the golden lock can be opened. In this song there is also: the ancient people teach any kind of skill is the master looking for the disciple, not the disciple looking for the master, so the song says: the best people can be taught, the bandits do not say, that is, only to those who are good disciples, not good disciples, you can not teach him. Of these twelve points, eight are from the knee to the foot, and four are from the elbow to the hand. The San Li point is a joint point of the Foot Yang Ming Stomach meridian, which almost everyone knows if they have any idea about acupuncture, because it is a very important point for maintenance and also for treating diseases. The song says “three miles under the knee eye, three inches between the two tendons” is the location of the three miles point, the knee eye is also called “calf nose”, there are two rather large holes in the knee, looks a bit like a cow’s nose, the outer one is called “outer calf nose “, the inner one is called the “inner calf nose”. The foot three li is three inches below the outer calf nose, a thumb inch away from the knee and shin prongs, that is, in the two tendons.

For symptoms of cold in the stomach, such as intestinal tinnitus, a sound like water moving, and diarrhea, the “Four General Points Song” has the phrase “San Li stay in the belly”, which means that as long as the stomach and intestines are sick, you can find San Li points.
