人中 「ㄖㄣˊ ㄓㄨㄥ」鼻溝也 「ㄅㄧˊㄍㄡ」

《南村輟耕錄》 explains the origin of the term as follows:

若曰人身之中半，則當在臍腹間。蓋自此而上，眼耳鼻皆雙竅；自此而下，口暨二便皆單竅。三畫陰，三畫陽，成䷊泰卦也。

If one refers to the middle of the body, it must be around the navel and the abdomen. Forgoing up from here [the philtrum], the eyes, ears and nose all have two orifices; going down from here, the mouth and the two [organs of] excretion all have single orifices. Three strokes of yin and three strokes of yang make ䷊ the Peace hexagram (11).

水溝 ㄕㄨㄟˇ ㄍㄡ(Water Trough) (人中 ), Middle of Person  DU-26.

督脈水溝穴「人中」

 ➥ [督ㄉㄨ, phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ʔl'uːwɢ): phonetic 叔 (OC *hljɯwɢ) + semantic 目 (“eye”) – to look over, to oversee (with eyes).]

 ➥ The name of this point translates to Man’s Middle, which reflects the location of this point. With the face divided into the three portions of Heaven, Man, and Earth, Du 26「將臉分為天、人、地三部分，沿中線坐在臉的“人”部分，故稱“人中”。」 sits in the “Man” portion of the face along the midline, hence, “Man’s Middle”. This point is also located close to the juncture of the Governing and Conception channels. With the Governing channel corresponding to Heaven (陽), and the Conception channel corresponding to Earth (陰), Du 26 is considered to form a connection between the two.

 ➥ Clinical Uses for Du 26

Restoring consciousness from fainting and sudden loss of consciousness.

Calms the mind.

Psycho-emotional disorders, manic disorders, and depressive disorders.

Epilepsy.

Clears nasal discharge, nose bleeds, and nasal congestion.

Swelling of the face, deviation of the mouth and jaw.

Stiffness and pain of the spine, sprain of the spine, acute back and lumbar pain.

 ➥ Location

A little above the midpoint of the philtrum, near the nostrils, on the Governing vessel also known as Du, abbreviated as GV and named 督脉穴; 督脈 "The Governing Vessel".

 ➥ Indications

Mental disorders, epilepsy, hysteria, infantile convulsion, coma, deviation of the mouth, apoplexy-faint, trismus and eyes, puffiness of the face, pain and stiffness of the lower back.

 ➥ Traditional Action

Promotes resuscitation and benefits the lumbar spine. Shock resuscitation with acupuncture.

 ➥ Philtrum, borrowed from the Latin philtrum (“a love potion”), from Ancient Greek φῐ́λτρον (phíltron, “a love charm; the dimple in the upper lip”). (Lip Crease or ‘Person’s Center’ 人中) is a vertical, narrow and long groove that everyone has between the nose and upper lip. It mainly presents the reproductive system, also personality. The Philtrum presents the luck between age 51 and 55.

1 अहूँ、a-hūṃ (A-un)

In the ancient Indian Sanskrit Sanskrit script, a(A) is the sound when the mouth is wide open without any hindrance, and m (hūṃ, 吽) is the sound when the mouth is completely closed.

古代インドのサンスクリットの悉曇文字（梵字）において、a（阿）は全く妨げのない状態で口を大きく開いたときの音、m（hūṃ、吽）は口を完全に閉じたときの音である。悉曇文字の字母の配列は、口を大きく開いたa（阿）から始まり、口を完全に閉じたm（hūṃ、吽）で終わっており、そこから「阿吽」は宇宙の始まりから終わりまでを表す言葉とされた。宇宙のほかにも、a（阿）を真実や求道心に、m（hūṃ、吽）を智慧や涅槃にたとえる場合もある。

The term A-un (阿吽) is the transliteration in Japanese of the two syllables "a" and "hūṃ", written in Devanagari as अहूँ. In Japanese, it is often conflated with the syllable Om. The original Sanskrit term is composed of two letters, the first (अ) and the last (ह) letters of the Devanagari abugida, with diacritics (including anusvara) on the latter indicating the "-ūṃ" of "hūṃ". Together, they symbolically represent the beginning and the end of all things. In Japanese Mikkyō Buddhism, the letters represent the beginning and the end of the universe. This is comparable to Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, similarly adopted by Christianity to symbolise Christ as the beginning and end of all.

日本語では2人の人物が呼吸まで合わせるように共に行動しているさまを阿吽の呼吸、阿吽の仲などと呼ぶ。The term a-un is used figuratively in some Japanese expressions as "a-un breathing" (阿吽の呼吸, a-un no kokyū) or "a-un relationship" (阿吽の仲, a-un no naka), indicating an inherently harmonious relationship or nonverbal communication.

仁王 Niō guardian kings and komainu lion-dogs

The term is also used in Buddhist architecture and 神道, Shintō, to describe the paired statues common in Japanese religious settings, most notably the Niō (仁王) and the komainu (狛犬). One (usually on the right) has an open mouth regarded by Buddhists as symbolically speaking the "A" syllable; the other (usually on the left) has a closed mouth, symbolically speaking the "Un" syllable. The two together are regarded as saying "A-un". The general name for statues with an open mouth is agyō (阿形, lit. "a" shape), that for those with a closed mouth ungyō (吽形, lit. "'un' shape").

Niō statues in Japan, and their equivalent in East Asia, appear in pairs in front of Buddhist temple gates and stupas, in the form of two (密迹金剛, Guhyapāda & 那羅延金剛, Nārāyaṇa) fierce-looking guardian kings (वज्रपाणि Vajrapāṇi).

Komainu, also called lion-dogs, found in Japan, Korea and China, also occur in pairs before Buddhist temples and public spaces, and again, one has an open mouth (Agyō), the other closed (Ungyō).

² Attic numerals comprised another system that came into use perhaps in the 7th century BCE. They were acrophonic, derived (after the initial one) from the first letters of the names of the numbers represented. They ran  = 1,  = 5,  = 10,  = 100,  = 1,000, and  = 10,000. The numbers 50, 500, 5,000, and 50,000 were represented by the letter  with minuscule powers of ten written in the top right corner: , , , and . One-quarter was represented by 𐌂 (right half of a full circle) and one-half by the left side of the circle. The same system was used outside of Attica, but the symbols varied with the local alphabets, for example, 1,000 was  in Boeotia.
