A Story

中 center + 手 hand = center hand

In Wing Chun, this sometimes has been referred to as the "arm center" or the "eye of the hand."

With palms up, this is the prominent bone at the wrist. It's near the very corner of the palm (along the same side as the pinky).

This point on wrists is used to reference the center – meaning in different hand positions such as the straight punch, Taan Sau, Wu Sau, Fook Sau, Bong Sau, this point should be aligned with the 心口 solar plexus. Often, when making certain hand movements, one leads with this point of the wrist and hand.
