Channel chart: Yin Tie Vessel, Chinese woodcut
Description

Woodcut illustration, showing the path ofyinwei mai(Yin Tie Vessel), fromJingmai tu kao(Illustrated Study of the Channels), published in 1878 (4th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing dynasty).

Yinwei maiis one of the Eight Extraordinary Channels (qi jing ba mai). It originates at thezhubin(Guest House) point on the footshaoyinchannel, and runs up the inner side of the lower limb. It ascends to the diaphragm and the Adam's Apple, where it comes into confluence withrenmai(the Director Vessel, also translated as Conception Vessel), and thence to thelianquan(Edge Spring) point at the root of the tongue, where it terminates. Pathological changes in this channel are thought to provoke pain in the heart and chest (xinxiong tengtong).
