This point helps to restore a sense of order and harmony to our face and mouth.

Think of Chengjiang as a point that helps to 'contain the fluids' of your mouth. It's invaluable for addressing issues like facial paralysis, a droopy mouth, and a feeling of a 'dry mouth.' By anchoring the face and mouth, it helps to restore a sense of balance and ease.
