I've been working under the assumption that the Shaoyang is the most internal of the Yang conformations and the closest to the Yin. However in the overview to Yangming in Mitchell's book, he uses this line to explain that it's the final Yang channel before the evil passes into the Yin. I thought also that the Yangming was kind of a stopping point, that once the evil hit there, it could either stay or be flushed out of the system. Can you correct me on this?

Thanks,

Mike
