Tian Chong Acupoint
"Tian", refers to the qi and blood in the celestial part. "Chong", refers to the qi and blood circulation resembling a jet.

The substance of this acupoint is the moistness of water and dampness transmitted from the Ru Gu acupoint. After reaching this acupoint, due to the heat transmitted from outside the acupoint, the qi of water and dampness expands and disperses, and jets to the celestial parts outside the Gallbladder Meridian, hence the name "Tian Chong Acupoint".
