Unfortunately, I do not have the original Chinese text as that is locked away in a storage locker in the USA. Let me see if can clarify this for you. That is being referred to here in illustration 12 is tightness and stringy feeling to the rectus abdominus muscles in the lower abdomen. This is the presentation for using jin gui shen qi wan. This tightness of the lower rectus abdominus muscles can extend somewhat into the upper part of the abdomen. So you need to pay attention and other signs and symptoms. Tight rectus abdominus muscles in general are a sign for using cinnamon twig family formulas. Note illustrations 9 and 10 which both are representative of cinnamon twig based formulas. Basically, if the tightness is just below the navel and there are kidney signs, this is a confirmation for using jin gui shen qi wan. Ellen- good point, the English is a bit unclear here.

The article refers to illustration 12 which shows tightness in the lower abdomen only, then refers ti iluustration 12 again but talks about the tightness extending all along the rectus abdominis which would be more illustration 9, then you talk about the Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan pattern which again is referenced on illustration 12. Is there a typo, this paragraph is not at all clear In the abd diagnosis ii article Lower abdomen strained, striated and tight section I am confused.
