WHO 2008 point atlas — channel index
Every one of the 361 classical points, listed channel by channel with the Pinyin and Chinese names exactly as printed in the standard. Rather than redraw the anatomy, each point opens the WHO PDF at the page carrying its landmark description, cun measurement and figure — so what you read is the published location standard, not an approximation.
