The Governing Vessel and the Microcosmic Orbit-Du Mai 督脉

[SnickeringSnaussages]

In case any English speakers or fans of Daoism are interested, I wanted to share the translations for the acupuncture points for some of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels as they incorporated them into this game.

This is the Extraordinary Vessel Mantak Chia popularized with his description of the Microcosmic Orbit as a quick-and-dirty version of Taoist Cultivation for the layman to get his feet wet.

1. Baihui 百会 -One Hundred Meetings
2. Fengfu 风府 Wind Palace
3. Yamen 哑门 Mute Gate
4. Dazhui 大椎 Big Spine
5. Shendao 神道 Spirit Way
6. Yaoyangguan 腰阳关 Yang Passage of the Lower Back
7. Lingtai 灵台 Spirit Platform
8. Xuanshu 悬枢 Suspended Pivot
9. Yaoyu 腰俞 Transporter of the Lower Back
10. Zhongshu 中枢 Central Pivot
11. Changqiang 长强 Long and Rigid
12. Mingmen 命门 Life Gate

I think the pictures they chose were sort of arbitrary and just to fit the "tech tree" nature of picking some of the points, but I'm not sure. (For example, Changqiang is shown on the left foot, whereas from what I can tell it's actually on the coccyx bone, the little one right behind the anus).

I'd be curious to ask the devs why they had chosen these specific 12 out of the 28, if these ones are just more well-known or more commonly used.
