Severed Bone / Jue Gu
Updated 2026-08-02
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Severed bone names the region of the Xuanzhong point, on the fibula above the lateral malleolus, where the flesh is so wasted that the bone edge can be felt sharply. It is one of the eight influential points and is specifically the influential point of marrow. In classical texts it reflects the state of the marrow sea, so deep depletion of true yin, as in advanced warm disease, is signaled by the flesh falling away at this site. The name describes both a location and a clinical sign.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Empty tank: the marrow reservoir shows through when the flesh at this point wastes away. - Marrow gauge: read the site to estimate the state of the marrow sea. - Needling target: select the point to treat marrow disorders and lower limb weakness.
Anchor fast decisions
Points classified by influence concentrate the function of a tissue or organ system. Because this site is the influential point of marrow, changes in the local tissue and in the underlying system are coupled, so wasting here tracks depletion of the marrow reservoir rather than a purely local problem.
