Localización
- 017 cun above the navel on the midline, and 0.5 cun below the xiphoid process.
- 02On the midline of the front of the body, 1 cun below the xiphosternal synchondrosis. Note: find this point with the patient supine and the arms raised overhead.
- 03On the anterior midline, 7 cun above the umbilicus.
- 04On the midline, 7 cun above the umbilicus and 1 cun below the sternocostal angle. Note: numerous sources place this point just below the xiphoid tip, but because the xiphoid process's length varies widely, the point can sometimes fall directly on the xiphoid process itself.

- 02Puncture obliquely downward, 0.4 to 0.6 cun.
- 03Moxibustion may be used.
- 04Insert obliquely, angled downward, 0.5 to 1 cun.
