Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 Hi Shantell, The word 'shang' appears in other points as well, I looked it up once and came up with- LI-1, KID-17, SP-5 and the point you asked about, LU-11. About LU-11: Shang is the 5th note on the Chinese musical scale, and it is the note that is refered to the Metal. It also means (the word) some kind of a merchant, a trader. It is suggested that the name means 'Small Shang' (Shao=small) and that might be due to the point being a well point and there's little flow of Qi there. It is also noted that LU-11 and LI-1 both treat the throat and maybe that is why they have the word 'Shang' in their name and other Metal points don't. I got most of my into from talking to teachers and from the book " Grasping The Wind " . I hope that helps a bit.

Others in the group who studied with me please correct me if I am wrong. Perhaps some of the others can also relate what else he might have said regarding the names of points and this point in particular.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Hey Bobbi, Thank you for the correction, I agree with you of course about the well points! They do have a strong flow of Qi there, I was only quoting what I read about the subject. Lots of smiles, Yael --- bobbiaqua wrote: > In a message dated 7/30/02 3:21:49 AM Eastern > Daylight Time, > red_special39 writes: > > > > It is suggested that the name > > means 'Small Shang' (Shao=small) and that might be > due > > to the point being a well point and there's little > > flow of Qi there. > > > > > > Yael, > > I really liked your explanation of LU11 but on this > one point I would like to > add that when I studied with Jeffrey Yuen I > understood that Jing-Well points > are where Yin and Yang exchange and therefore fairly > strong points and I have > always used them that way.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 According to the Acupuncture Point Compendium from the College of Traditional Acupuncture, The bname of the point can be translated as Little Merchant, Lesses Shang, Lesser Metal, Lesser Metal's Note, Scanty Business, Ghost Sincerity. Energetic Nature: Wood Point, Jing-Well point, Ghost Point. Indications: Acute sore throat or fever from wind-heat. Acute skin or respiratory disorders, Fainting, Interior Wind, Wind-stroke. Pain in the fingers. Commentary: The point expels Heat. " Activating the Wood aspect of Metal will affect the quality of growth, desicion making and planning. Can provide a sense of rootdness and calm and help the person to see with better perspective when yhere is depression, lack os growth, inwardness, anxiety, tension. It can bring a sense of relief mentally as these essential needs are provided as well relief from asthma and skin irritation. Stimulates and dispersing and descending of Lung Qi. " Jing-Well points are where the meridian is at its most superficial and narrow. The energy is at its most unstable. The meridian changes the polarity from Yang to Yin or Yin to Yang. I hope it helps.
