Atlas differences
Pontos e Meridianos (p. 437) also describes perpendicular insertion of only 0.3 cun as an alternative. The 1 to 1.5 cun range applies to the cranial tangential course, as also described by the Chinese People’s Medical Publishing House. Taiwan’s Yi Bian gives 2 to 2.5 cun for that course. Kyung Hee University describes two successive steps: perpendicular insertion of 0.3 cun followed by a cranial tangential course. This atlas retains the historical location in GB 12346–90, section 4.3.9. Yaoqi was removed from the list of extra points in GB/T 40997–2021.
Needling
Tangential needling along the skin in a cranial direction. The course described in the textbook is 1 to 1.5 cun.
