Which of following point is both fire point and mother point?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In Five-Element acupuncture the Spleen is an Earth organ; in the generating (mother→child) cycle Fire generates Earth. Therefore the Spleen’s “mother” element is Fire, and the point on the Spleen channel that is the Fire point is used as the tonification (mother) point.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Five-Element generating cycle: Wood → Fire → Earth → Metal → Water → Wood. The element that generates another is its “mother.”
- Each channel has Five-Shu points with elemental identities (Jing‑well, Ying‑spring, Shu‑stream, Jing‑river, He‑sea) and one of those corresponds to the Fire element.
- The “mother point” for an organ is the point on that channel that has the element which generates the organ’s element; that point is used to tonify the organ.

2) Reasoning step by step
- Identify the organ/channel in the options: SP (Spleen) is an Earth element organ.
- Determine the mother element for Earth: Fire (because Fire → Earth).
- Find the Fire point on the Spleen channel: SP‑2, Dadu, is the Ying‑spring and Fire point of the Spleen channel.
- Since SP‑2 is both the Fire point and the point whose element is the Spleen’s mother element, it functions as the mother (tonification) point for Spleen.

3) Calculations/intermediate steps
- Element of Spleen = Earth.
- Mother element = Fire (generating cycle).
- Spleen channel Fire point = SP‑2 (Dadu).
-> Therefore SP‑2 = Fire point + Mother point.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
SP‑2 Dadu is explicitly the Spleen channel’s Ying‑spring point and is associated with the Fire element. Because Fire is the mother of Earth (Spleen), SP‑2 serves as the mother (tonification) point for Spleen. Thus it satisfies both criteria simultaneously.

5) Why the other options are incorrect (briefly)
- a. Lun‑10 Yuji (LU‑10) is a Fire/Ying‑spring point on the Lung channel but the Lung’s mother element is Earth, so LU‑10 is Fire but not the Lung’s mother point for tonification.
- b. LI‑5 Yangxi is the Large Intestine’s Fire point but the LI’s mother is the Earth element point, so LI‑5 is not the mother point.
- d. Ht‑8 Shaofu is a Fire point on the Heart channel; since the Heart itself is Fire, its mother is Wood (a different point), so HT‑8 is not the mother point.

Conclusion: SP‑2 Dadu is both the Fire point and the mother (tonification) point for Spleen, so the correct answer is c. Sp‑2 Dadu.
