Needle penetrating from point X to Y

Endnotes

• Those who wish to locate relevant references in printed materials, or digitised databases, face three main difficulties with the alpha-characters or alphanumeric codes used for the Chinese ideograms of acupoints: There are several ways to "name" an acupoint in alpha characters. For example Jen Chung is also spelled as jenchung, renzhong, Ren Zhong etc. Some acupoints have two or more quite distinct names. For example Renzhong is also called Shuigou or shuikou. The IVAS [International Veterinary Acupuncture Society] code for the point is GV26, but other texts call it VG26, du 26, dumo 26, Go-26, Kg-26 etc. Thus, inexperienced researchers may miss many references unless they use the various alpha- and alphanumeric terms in their search.
