SP is Zhiyin 至阴 within Yin

Hi Doug & All,

I could not read the characters (see a way around this in a separate mail).

 

No, the term Zhi-yin here has the same characters as the term Zhi-yin

in acupoint BL67.

 

Wiseman translates that point name as " Reaching Yin " , where Zhi = to

arrive at / to reach / extremely / most.

 

It could mean the " most yin " . Indeed SP and LU belong to the Taiyin - Great

Yin or Most Yin.

 

As regards SP and Zhiyin , the correct Pinyin term is:

 

Piwei Yinzhong Zhizhiyin (SP is Zhiyin within Yin) [see characters at

or

Yinzhong Zhizhiyin Weipi (Zhiyin within Yin is SP) [see characters at

For a (poor) Google translation on spleen + other organs, see

Related concepts are:

HT is Yang within Yang (Xinwei Yangzhong Zhiyang )

or HT is Taiyang within Yang (Xinwei Yangzhong Zhitaiyang)

LU is Yin within Yang (Feiwei Yangzhong Zhiyin)

or LU is Taiyin within Yang (Feiwei Yangzhong Zhitaiyin)

 

KI is Yin within Yin (Shenwei Yinzhong Zhiyin)

 

LV is Yang within Yin (Ganwei Yinzhong Zhiyang)

 

Best regards,
