study note

PC 6 + SJ 5
These two points are also the Luo Connecting points. They are each 2 cun from the wrist crease.

One of the iterations of WEI means ‘to hold together’.
LINK (as in a chain) also means to hold together.

Think of PC6 and TE5, LINKed together through the LUO and it may help remember which vessel each point opens as well as the point’s function as a LUO connecter.
