Zhixia (Lower Rectitude) liver, is flanked on left and right by sectors corresponding to the gall bladder,and below it lies the sector of the spleen. Fangshang (Upon the Square) corresponds to the stomach. The area from mianwang (Lord of the Face) upwards corresponds to the small intestine; around this is the area corresponding to the large intestine; and extending outwards from that is the area corresponding to the kidneys. By the kidneys is the sector corresponding to the navel. Below mianwang is the area corresponding to the bladder and genitalia.
