GB35 · 足少阳胆经

Yangjiao yáng jiāo · 阳交

Location. On the lateral aspect of the leg, 7 cun above the tip of the lateral malleolus, on the posterior border of the fibula.

Category. Xi-cleft of the Yang Link Vessel 阳维脉郄穴

The name marks where the Gallbladder line is said to cross the Yang Link Vessel, and classical lists record it as the xi-cleft point of that vessel. Xi-cleft is a category name for a point, not a statement about what needling it accomplishes.

定位。在小腿外侧,当外踝尖上7寸,腓骨后缘。

特定穴。Xi-cleft of the Yang Link Vessel 阳维脉郄穴

穴名指胆经与阳维脉相交之处,古典文献记为阳维脉之郄穴。郄穴只是腧穴的一个类别名称,并不表示针刺后会发生什么。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Behind the fibula, where the sural nerve and the small saphenous vein run close to the surface. Classical texts describe shallow needling here. Practitioner skill, not a self-care technique.
