This difficulty together with difficulty 72 explain treatment trough Rong and Wei of meridian. Practitioner gains access to Rong puncturing the place of acupuncture point. Practitioner gains access to Wei of meridian puncturing horizontally outside of acupuncture point. Acupuncture point is not even mentioned in explanation of puncture of Wei. It is the one of indicators that archaic acupuncture didn't use point's properties. Treatment was to manage Rong and Wei of particular meridian by inviting dominating yin or yang to the place of their circulation. |
