Translating "腹通谷", acupuncture point KI-20

The reasoning for translating "腹通谷" as "On the Belly Through the Valley" from Chinese into English. This is the original name of acupuncture point KI-20 (Kidney 20).

腹通谷
On the Belly Through the Valley  (KI-20)
腹: Abdomen / belly
通: Through / unobstructed
谷: Valley / valley stream

Explanation of the point name

There are two 通谷 'Through the Valley' points, one on the foot (BL-66 足通谷) and one on the belly (this one). Both enhance capacities that are helpful in situations like passing through a valley, when things aren't easy.

Here, the difficulty is that one cannot move in ones usual way. It could happen that a person has to move on his belly, when his legs are wounded, or when he needs to hide from an enemy by staying low.
