Acu-moxa point chart, showing the hernia (shanqi) point, from Chuanwu lingji lu (Record of Sovereign Teachings), by Zhang Youheng, a treatise on acu-moxa in two volumes. This work survives only in a manuscript draft, completed in 1869 (8th year of the Tongzhi reign period of the Qing dynasty). The text states: To locate the hernia point, measure the width of the patient's mouth from corner to corner, and multiply this measurement by three.
