Huangdi: What area are the 57 water points from?

Qibo: The 57 shu of the kidney are the focal points of the yin and to which liquid exchanges obey. The shu of the kidney are five rows of five above the sacrum. Water sickness manifests at the bottom with edema and a large belly, at the top with dyspnea. If the decubitus is intolerable, it is because the damage involves both the branches and the trunk. The lung makes the dyspnea, the kidney makes the edemas, the impossibility of decubitus comes from the reflux of the qi in the lung. Other points are distinguished by their locations, but they compete with the previous ones in the retention of qi and water. There are two rows of five above the “ambush rabbit” (anterior side of the thigh), these are the “streets” of the kidney. At the crossing of the three vessels yin above the ankle there is a row of six points which constitutes the lower course of the kidney vessel; we call it the “big crossroads” (taichong). In all, 57 pits which are the yin bonds of the viscera and where water finds refuge.

The qiaomai is a branch (bie) of shaoyin.

When the breaths (of Yinqiao and Yangqiao) meet (bing) and communicate with each other (xianghuan) the eyes are soaked; if (their) breath does not make them prosper, the eyes do not close2. "

Ling Shu, chapter 23: "Febrile illnesses"

Huangdi asked: What breath causes yawning (欠 qian) in humans?

Qibo replied: The defensive breath circulates in the yang during the day (晝 日 zhouri) and at midnight (夜半 yeban) it goes into the yin1. The yin governs the night and the night governs sleep. The yang governs the high, the yin the bottom, that's why when the breath yin come down and let the breath yang is not yet exhausted, the yang pull up and the yin pulls down. The yin and the yang pull each side, that's why there are many yawns2. When the breath yang is exhausted and the breath yin abounds, eyes close. When the breath yin is exhausted and the breath yang abounds, we wake up. (In such a case), we disperse (瀉 xie) the shaoyin of foot and we tone (補 drank) the Taiyang of foot3.

LS 28: "Oral questions" / Jiayi jing XII-1: "Yawning, hiccups, sobs, chills, belching, sneezing, drooping, watery eyes, sighs, salivation, tinnitus, tongue bite, loss of memory and cravings"

Huangdi asked: What breath causes sobs (唏 xi)1 in humans?

Qibo replied: This is due to the glut (盛 sheng) breath yin and empty (虛 xu) breath yang. The breath yin is fast and breath yang is slow. The breath yin is overabundant and breath yang is exhausted, that's why we sob. (You must) tone (ifier drank) the Taiyang foot and disperse (寫 xie) the shaoyin of foot2.

Huang di asked: How is it that the perverse breath which lodges in the man causes that sometimes the eyes of the man do not close and that he does not sleep?1 What breath is the cause?

Bogao replied: (…) In the case where the perverse breath is lodged in the five organs and the six entrails, the defensive breath protects only the exterior, circulating in the yang and not being able to enter the yin. When it circulates in the yang, the breath yang is abundant and if the breath yang is abundant, the Yangqiao May is full (滿 man). When the defensive breath cannot enter the yin, the breath yin is empty (虛 xu), that's why we can't close our eyes2. (To cure this), we tone the insufficiency3, we disperse the excess and harmonize the vacuum (虛 xu) and fullness (實 shi) in order to communicate the channels4 and eliminate the evil one. The patient is made to drink a decoction of Pinellia tubifera. The yin and the yang will communicate and sleep will come immediately.

For those who do not know where their suffering comes from, we must treat the two below qiao (may)3. (Process) on yang in humans and yin in women, that’s what a good worker cannot do4.
