"Ji" (急), emergency; 'mai' (脈), pulse. The point is located where the pulse can be felt. Suwen‧Qifu Lun Wang Bing's note: "These two vessels are both major collaterals of jueyin running through here, hence it is called jueyin emergency pulse, which is connected to the testicular system." Leijing Tuyi notes: "This point is missing from all texts following Jiayi Jing, which is an omission... However, this is indeed the main channel of jueyin and converges with yangming."
