Location. On the posteromedial aspect of the forearm, on the line joining SI5 and SI8, 5 cun proximal to the dorsal wrist crease.

Category. Luo-connecting 络穴

The luo-connecting point of the Small Intestine meridian. In the classical scheme a luo point is where the meridian branches off to join its paired interior-exterior meridian — here the Small Intestine connects with the Heart. The name means "the branch that goes straight".

定位。在前臂后内侧,阳谷(SI5)与小海(SI8)连线上,腕背侧远端横纹上 5 寸。

特定穴。Luo-connecting 络穴

小肠经络穴。古典认为络穴是经脉分出、与相表里之经相联系的部位,小肠经于此联络手少阴心经。穴名意为「旁支之正」。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
No vital structure lies directly in the path, but the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm runs through this region. Depth is a practitioner judgement.
