Chinese and Japanese Point Numbering

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am trying to find a list showing the correspondence between Chinese

and Japanese acupuncture point numbering. Any leads would be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Well ,Mark-

As far as I know, the Chinese numbering system

corresponds to specific anatomical, landmarked points

on the body, while Jap pts. are the ashi points on the

MERIDIAN closest to the anantomical points. Ex- Jap.

St 36 is the closest " ashi " point to historical St 36.

Jap. pts. ALWAYS are faithful to the meridian.

The Japanese points would be located anywhere on a circle the center

of which is the Chinese point, the radius is about 1 cm and the

circumference

the outer limit of the search area.

 

The point is where these changes are most marked:

a. indurations

b. fibrosis

c. a gummy area

d. coolth

e. warmth

f. tenderness

g. a hollowed area

h. a full area

 

Often the Japanese work with a probe, and approach the point from varied

angles.

 

Thus LV 4, the Metal point of Wood yin, is needled at an angle of 45

degrees.

pointed superiorly, or towards the tendon.

 

As often, points are cross matched to Yoshio Manaka's 'signal' areas, distal

tender trigger areas; or Matsumoto's 'reflections'.

 

Method:

i. locate the trigger area, usually anything from a half grain of rice wide,

to a cm.

ii. locate acu-point, using a probe, at various angles

iii. find angle which releases the pain or tenderness in trigger area

iv. insert needle at optimal angle, let qi arrive

v. stimulate by small thrusts on vertical axis, 4 times over 20 mts

vi. make certain the trigger area is pain free

vii. withdraw needle and plug.

 

Almost every procedure of Matsumoto is followed up by 3 to 8 thread

moxa stimulations, though there are exceptions and some folk may not

like direct moxa or the small blemish it may leave.
