Title
Channels and points of the front of the head and neck
Description

Woodcut illustration from an edition of 1763 (28th year of the Qianlong reign period of the Qing dynasty), showing the paths of the channels and distribution of the acu-moxa locations on the face and neck. The lines represent the stomach channel of footyangming, the gall bladder channel of footshaoyang, the lung channel of handtaiyin, the kidney channel of footshaoyin, the small intestine channel of handtaiyang,the large intestine channel of handyangmingandrenmai(the Director Vessel, also translated as Conception Vessel). For full list of point names, see 'Lettering'. N.B. This image is closely similar to L0034707, a chart of acu-moxa locations on the front of the head and neck dating to the Ming period (1368-1644). It was not, however, executed by the same hand.
