Anatomical left wrist — chi (Kidney-yin) — superficial

Proximal wrist position · fū palpation

This point represents the superficial palpation level of the anatomical left chi, the proximal wrist position associated with Kidney-yin in the selected Mai Jing convention. Its front-view coordinate is a schematic projection of the wrist station, and the slight lateral offset keeps this depth visible beside the middle and deep levels.

Wang Shuhe, Mai Jing (Pulse Classic) (primary_canonical)

Mai Jing, juan 1, the cun-mouth pulse-position discussion (寸口脈), assigns the left chi station to the Kidney-yin in the selected convention. Superficial, middle, and deep are palpation depths at this same wrist station, not separate anatomical loci.
