The name Tianfu means that this acupoint is the gateway for the transmission of lung meridian yang qi to the heavenly realm. The material of this acupoint is transmitted from Yunmen acupoint. Compared with the temperature field at Tianfu acupoint, the temperature of the qi and blood material transmitted from Yunmen acupoint is still high. The change of qi and blood material at Tianfu acupoint is still a result of heat dissipation, condensation, and cooling. The heat dissipated is transmitted to the sky in the form of yang hot qi. The name of the acupoint emphasizes this change of qi and blood material inside the acupoint, hence the name Tianfu.
