Zhongfeng zhōng fēng · 中封

Location. On the dorsum of the foot, anterior and inferior to the medial malleolus, in the depression between the tendons of tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus.

Category. Jing-River point 经穴

The point sits in the hollow in front of the medial ankle where the two tendon bands can be felt separately. "Feng" is read in the classical commentaries as the border or sealing line of the channel as it crosses the ankle; the name records locality.

定位。在足背,内踝前下方,胫骨前肌腱与拇长伸肌腱之间的凹陷中。

特定穴。Jing-River point 经穴

此穴在内踝前方两腱可辨之凹陷中。古典注家以「封」为经气过踝之封界,穴名记部位。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
In a tendinous hollow in front of the ankle joint, with the joint capsule and the anterior tibial vessels nearby. Depth and angle are a practitioner judgement. Not a self-care technique.
