Category. Crossing point 交会穴(古典列为胃经与任脉、阳跷脉交会)

The name means "earth granary" — classical naming in this region uses agricultural imagery for points around the mouth and jaw. This is a naming convention, not a claim about effect.

定位。在面部,口角旁约 0.4 寸。

特定穴。Crossing point 交会穴(古典列为胃经与任脉、阳跷脉交会)

穴名取「地之仓廪」,古典以农事意象命名口颊部穴位。此处为命名描述,不涉及疗效主张。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
A facial point at the mouth corner; the facial artery and the buccal branch of the facial nerve lie nearby. Needling here is a practitioner judgement; not suitable for self-treatment.
