Ying (water) point.
[Origin]
The point is at the 4th to 5th finger joint on the ulnar side of the back of the palm. When making a fist, the point looks like the armpit of a person's arm, and it is arranged on both sides like a door, hence the name. In ancient times, the side door in the palace was also called Yemen. The three words "ye", "axil" and "ye" have the same pronunciation. (Lingshu, SujianWang Bing Note, Tongren acupoint acupuncture and moxibustion Illustrations, etc. are used as "liquid", Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing means "armpit", Huangdi Neijing Taisu, Qianjin Yaofang‧ means "tuck").
