Touch the outside of the calf from bottom to top, and you can feel the bump (lateral tibial condyle) below the kneecap of the left knee. From here, further out and a little bit downward, there is another protrusion (the head of the fibula). The two convex bones are connected by a line, and an equilateral triangle is drawn downward with this line as the base. The vertex of this equilateral triangle is the Zusanli acupoint.
