[Origin]

Weeping means shedding tears. The acupuncture point is above the eye, showing a high position for purgation. In order to distinguish it from the point of the same name (Zulinqi (GB41)) in Benjing on the foot, Zhenjiu Zishengjing is named "head". Shengji Zonglu is said to be "crying before the eyes".
