Yuanaxillary acupoint, also known as Quan axil, Yuan liquid, Yuan, and Abyss, comes from the "Ling Shu · Jing Mai". The axilla refers to the area where the acupoint is located. The name Yuanaxillary refers to the water from the ground meridian of the Gallbladder Meridian flowing down from the chest side ribs. The substance inside this acupoint is the underground water that overflows from the Shoulder Well acupoint. After reaching this acupoint, the water liquid falls directly from the upper part of the chest to the lower part of the waist under the action of the Earth's gravity field, and the water flows like it falls into a bottomless abyss, hence the name Abyss Armpit. The names Quanye and Jianyuan have the same meaning as Yuanxia.
