Location. On the lateral aspect of the leg, 5 cun above the tip of the lateral malleolus, on the anterior border of the fibula.

Category. Luo-connecting point 络穴

The name means "brightness". It is the luo-connecting point of the Gallbladder meridian, the point from which a branch is said to leave the main line to join the Liver meridian. The connecting-point system is a way classical texts describe the network of the meridians; it is not a claim about eyesight or about any outcome.

定位。在小腿外侧,当外踝尖上5寸,腓骨前缘。

特定穴。Luo-connecting point 络穴

穴名意为光明。此穴是胆经之络穴,即主脉分出支脉与肝经相联络之处。络脉系统是古典文献描述经脉网络的方式,并不表示此穴与目力或任何结果之间的因果关系。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
On the anterior border of the fibula with the superficial peroneal nerve close beneath the skin. Classical texts describe shallow needling in this area. Practitioner skill, not a self-care technique.
