Each entry gives the term in traditional and simplified form, its pinyin, the senses it carries in the classical corpus, the passages where it does real work, and how published translations have rendered it.
dà líng
陽中之太陽，心也，其原出於大陵，大陵二 — the heart's source point, two of them, one on each wrist. The chapter assigns it to the heart; later needling assigns 大陵 to the pericardium channel and keeps 神門 for the heart, and the difference is not a scribal error but a change in how the heart was mapped. The site keeps the chapter's assignment and notes the later one, because a reader who needles will meet the later name.
dà yuān
陽中之少陰，肺也，其原出於大淵，大淵二 — the lung's source point, two of them, one to each wrist. Received editions read 太淵; this base text writes 大淵, and the site prints the base's graph. The point is the same. Its interest for the chapter is that the lung, which is the lesser yin within yang, has its source at the place where the pulse is felt — the one source a physician touches without looking.
jiū wěi
The bottom of the breast bone — the narrow cartilage that later anatomy calls the xiphoid process — named here for its shape, a dove's tail. Chapter 59 is not interested in what it is; it is interested in the fact that measurements can begin there, and three of the chapter's lines do begin there. The conception vessel reckons 鳩尾下三寸，胃脘五寸，and then 胃脘以下至横骨六寸半一, one point to the inch; the thoroughfare vessel runs 俠鳩尾外各半寸至齊寸一, again one to the inch; and the yang brilliance sets its five stomach-duct points level with the breast three inches below, outside it. Three occurrences in three ledgers, none of them describing anything. This is what distinguishes 鳩尾 from the chapter's other named places — 三里 (id 1408), 人迎 (id 382), 缺盆 — which are counted as points; 鳩尾 is counted as well, but its real office in the text is to be the place the counting starts from. 鳩尾 occurs three times here and not elsewhere among the chapters transcribed so far.
chén
The deep quality: a pulse that lies below the surface and is felt only when the finger presses to the bone. In this book 沉 heads the yin family and answers winter and the kidney. It rarely stands alone: 沉而遲 is cold in the interior, 沉而細 is the dampness block, 沉而數 at the instep is repletion. The quality is therefore read by what it keeps company with, and the entry below follows those pairings rather than defining a shape in the abstract.
gé
The drumskin quality, named once in the five chapters: when cold and emptiness strike together and the pulse is hollow within while taut without, it is called 革. The consequence given is severe and specific — miscarriage and leakage in women, loss of blood and semen in men. Because the book gives the name only here, the entry is short: it records the single occurrence, the sequence that produces it (large → hollow → empty → drumskin), and the two outcomes, without importing later descriptions of the shape.
