Notes in the source (in Japanese)
経穴の位置は、国際的な標準で決まっている(WHO 西太平洋地域事務局『WHO 標準経穴部位』2008 年)。361 穴の名前・記号・位置が定義されていて、LU(肺経)・LI(大腸経)のように経絡ごとの記号と番号で呼ぶ。
肺経は胸から手へ、大腸経は手から顔へ。向きが逆の 2 本が、肺経の支脈(列缺 LU-7 から分かれて示指の先へ)で大腸経の商陽 LI-1 につながる。だから図の破線は少商 LU-11 からではなく、列缺 LU-7 から商陽 LI-1 へ引く(『霊枢』経脈篇「其支者、従腕後直出次指内廉、出其端」)。この組を表裏の関係という。図で矢印の向きを描くのは、そこが治療の組み立てに効くから。
経穴は「肘から何センチ」ではなく、骨の目印の間を等分した比(骨度)で決める。体の大きさが違っても同じ所になるように作られている。曲池(LI-11)は古い書き方の「肘窩横紋の外端」ではなく、WHO 標準では尺沢(LU-5)と上腕骨外側上顆を結ぶ線の中点。
