METHODS
With analysis of origin of Back-shu points of zang- and fu-organs and their indications, the relation of Back-shu points with the incidental and fundamental aspects, theory of qi-flow, and the characteristics of the parts of indications of acupoints reflected by Back-shu points, relations of indications of Back-shu points of zang- and fu-organs with The Bladder Channel of Foot-Taiyang were studied.
