Bingfeng bǐng fēng · 秉风

Location. In the scapular region, in the centre of the suprascapular fossa, directly superior to SI11.

Sits in the suprascapular fossa above SI11. The name is read as "grasping wind" — classical naming often links shoulder and upper back points to wind (风) as a traditional category of cause for discomfort in this region. This is a naming convention, not a claim about effect.

定位。在肩胛区,肩胛冈上窝中央凹陷中,天宗(SI11)直上。

位于肩胛冈上窝,在天宗(SI11)直上。穴名解作「秉持风邪之所」——古典常以「风」解释肩背上部的传统病因类别,此处沿用其命名习惯,不涉及疗效主张。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Over the scapula, with the suprascapular nerve and vessels running through the fossa. Depth and direction are a practitioner judgement.
