connecting point.

[Origin]

Branch means "limb"; Zheng means the middle. The point is located in the forearm, hence its name. Zhenfang Liuji: "One side has Wangu (SI4) and toggle as two ends, and there is a point in the middle, which is in the arm, so it is called Zhizheng (SI7)." Or because it is hand greater yang small Intestine meridian (SI) connecting point, collateral vessel branches from the regular meridian and branches out from the positive side, hence the name. Huangdi Neijing Taisu Yang Shang-shan Note: "Zheng, regular meridian; branch, collateral vessel. Above Taiyang (EX-HN5) regular meridian, it branches off this channel and goes to Shaoyin, Therefore, it is called Zhizheng (SI7)."
