The chapter "The 66th Medical Problem" in Classic of Medical Problems describes the relation between the Yuan-Primary Points and Yuan-Primary Qi. The Yuan-Primary Qi, originating below the umbilicus and between the kidneys, is dispersed to the zang-fu organs and further to the limbs via Triple Energizer. The sites where the Yuan-Primary Qi is retained are Yuan-Primary Points, which are used to treat disorders of the zang-fu organs. In the yin meridians, the Yuan-Primary Poims overlap with the Shu-Stream Points of the Five Shu Points. Each yang meridian, however, has its Yuan-Primary Point other than the Shu-Stream Point.

Chapter 4 of Miracular Pivot says, "The Lower He-Sea Points of the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, Triple Energizer, bladder and gallbladder are Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Xiajuxu (ST 39), Weiyang (BL 39), Weizhong (BL 40) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) respectively. Among these points, Zusanli (ST 36), Weizhong (BL 40) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) overlap with the relevant He-Sea points in the Five Shu points. The Lower He-Sea points are mostly employed to treat the disorders of the six fu organs in clinic.
