〔解说〕王子乔八神脏（心、肝、脾、肺、肾、胆、胃、小肠称八神脏）导引法有延
年益寿，祛除百病的功效。
施功的方法是∶采用正仰卧姿势，枕头高为四寸，两足之间相距五寸，手与身相距各三寸。
宽解衣服，披发而卧，排除杂念，收心定意后，即用鼻慢慢吸气，用口呼出，用意念根据次引气
向各脏，到达后再重复进行，想要停止应先尽量引气到达此脏，而后方止。但不要勉强延长呼吸，
练功日久，功到自成，逐渐可使气息深长。呼吸往来时要尽量轻微，做到不让耳闻，甚至连鼻子
都觉查不到，呼吸要细缓、柔和、均匀、深长。达到这种地步，就可引气向大腿、小腿，以感到
气至为佳，但又不可用意过强，要使气息和意念达到若存若亡的境界。这样练功百遍，可达到腹
中大动，并发出鸣响，连耳朵都能听到，并且足底感到气至温暖。完成此功法的人即成为什么病
都没有之人了。
“八神脏”的形状是怎样的呢？大体上讲，喉咙（气管）就象一条白银环，由十二节复合在一
起组成，连系于胸，气
管向下所系的是肺，它色白而富有光泽，前两叶高，后两叶低。心系在肺下，上端大而下端
尖锐，宛若红色未开的莲花苞，倒悬于肺下。肝连系在其下，色纯青，就象野鸭头颈上
的毛，由六叶组成，围抱在胃旁，前两叶高，后四叶低。胆维系在肝下，象绿色的丝囊。脾在正
中央，也围抱胃，颜色正黄如黄金般鲜明，肾象两只蹲伏的鼠，居于脊柱两侧，要想知道它的位置
高低，向下垂直上臂，正与肘尖相齐的位置即是。肾的颜色纯黑，外面有白色肥浓的脂肪包络着，
白黑分明。胃就象一个空净的囊袋。虽说它的形状向右屈折，但不会使食物滞留，产生污秽之患。
肝能藏魂。肺藏魄，心藏神，脾藏意，肾藏精，所以五脏是神、魂、魄、意、精的住所，又叫“神舍
”。五脏生理功能正常则百脉调和，邪气疾症无法停留在体内。小肠长九尺，就象地上有九州一
样（另一种说法认为小肠是九土，长度为二丈四尺。）
行导引者，虚证应闭目，实证应开目，按疾病所苦的部位行气，不要执守七息即止的方法，
令气缓缓往来，约二百余次为限度。采用坐位，细匀地咽气，五六遍若仍无疗效，再反复使用
这种方法，直至病苦消失为止。病者练功时，可采用仰卧位，披发，如前面说的方法行气，即缓慢地用
口纳气，引入腹内，尽量使纳气深长，但又要让气息细微，达到轻微欲绝的状态，缓慢地用鼻呼气，
约数十遍。要遵循“虚者补之，实者泻之”的原则。闭口，暖和气息令气变温咽下去，约三十遍，
待到腹中有转动鸣响时停止，这样往来行气，约二百余次，病不愈即反复行这个功法。病在喉中、胸中
的，枕高七寸；病在心下的，枕高四寸；病在脐下的不用枕头平卧。呼吸的方法是以鼻吸气，口呼气
者为补；以闭口暖和气息令气变温咽下去的方法为泻。闭气治各种病的方法
是∶要导引头部的病，仰起头； 要导引腰部脚上的病，仰起足十趾；要导引胸中的病，挽拉足
十趾；要导引臂部的病，可用两手掩按两臀；要治疗腹中寒热多种不适的症候，如中寒身热都
可采用闭气而鼓腹的方法，想要呼气时，缓缓地用鼻吐气，这样呼气后再重复前面的功法，直到
痊愈为止。
1、平坐，伸腰，脚放平，两臂伸直两手按地、用口缓缓吸气，鼻出气。可治疗胸中、肺中
痛，咽气要柔和让气温，并闭目。
2、采用端正坐位，伸直腰部，用鼻纳气闭气不息，从前从后摇头，各三十次。可治疗头部空
虚，精气不足，头眩欲倒。要闭目摇头。
3、端正地坐着，伸直腰部，然后向左胁侧卧，用口吸气，鼻出气。可消除积聚和心下不适。
4、端正坐位，伸腰，缓缓地用鼻吸气，并用右手捻鼻，可治眼目昏暗或泪常出等症，还能消
除鼻中息肉，耳聋，又治伤寒头痛，洒洒恶寒，施用此法要以汗出为度。
5、正仰卧，用口缓缓吸气，以鼻呼出。能治脘腹拘急不适，饱食后应慢慢小咽气，约数十次，
达到有温暖感为宜。寒证使人干呕腹痛者，用口吸气约七十次，以气充实腹部，可收到治疗效果。
6、向右胁侧卧，以鼻吸气，从口中慢慢吐出，约数十次，并用两手相摩至掌热，用热掌按摩腹
部，让气从下面排出。能消除胁部皮肤痛，呼吸七息止。
7、端正坐位，伸腰，向上伸直两臂，两手掌上仰，用鼻吸气后闭气不息，尽量延长到极限为止，
如此行七次，这种功法叫“蜀王台”能消除胁下积聚。
8、伏卧势，去掉枕头，竖立两足，以鼻吸气十六余
次，用鼻呼出，吸气时要使气尽量轻微，做到几乎连鼻都感觉不到。可消除身中热，背
部疼痛。
9、正坐位，伸直腰，举左手仰掌，垂右手掌心向下。能祛除两臂及背痛，气滞郁结。
10、端坐位，两手交叉抱膝，闭气不息，鼓起腹部十四次，或十四次气满即吐气，可
以使气机通畅。坚持此功法十年，可使老年人貌如少年。
11、端坐位，伸直腰向左右倾斜身体，闭眼，用鼻吸气，尽量深吸七次止。可祛除头风。
12、如果腹中胀满，饮食后苦于作饱，可正坐伸直腰，用口连续吸气数十次，以感到
胀饱消失为止，如腹中又胀满，可再用此法。腹中有寒气不适，也可以用此功法。
13、端坐位，将两手做出好象拉满弓射箭的姿势，可治四肢烦闷不舒，背部拘急，每天或
时常练此法效果更好。
14、正坐伸腰，举右手仰掌向上，用左手托左胁，以鼻吸气，尽力吸七次。可治疗胃寒，
饮食不消化。
15、正坐伸腰，举左手仰掌向上，用右手托右胁，用鼻吸气、尽力吸七次。可消除瘀血
与结气。
16、两手向后按地，仰头抬眼，用口吸气，咽数十次，可除热，治疗身中伤并消除死肌。
17、正身仰卧，端正伸展两脚两臂，用鼻尽力吸气七次，摇脚三十次而止。可消除胸寒足
冷，周身痹痛，厥逆。
18、仰卧，屈膝让膝头向内靠拢相对，手与膝对，两足翻转，伸直腰，用口吸气，以气充实
腹部，尽力吸气七次。能祛除痹痛，高热，两脚运动不便。
19、如感觉身体沉重头昏，气血不通畅，亦可行导引法，用两手抱头上下展转，名叫开胁。
20、踞坐，伸右脚，两手抱左膝头，伸直腰，用鼻吸气，尽力吸七次。可治疗下肢
难以屈伸、跪拜、起立，脑中疼痛，瘀阻不通，麻木。
21、踞坐，伸左脚，两手抱右膝头，伸腰，用鼻吸气，尽力吸七次，伸左足外展。
可消除下肢难以屈伸拜起，脑中疼。另一书上说∶可以消除头风，目昏，耳聋。
22、正仰卧，伸直两脚，用两手按捏膀胱所在的部位，捏到皮肤发赤，好象油袋裹
赤丹一样。可消除阴部潮湿，小便难，小腹重，大便不下，腹中热。只要口吸气，鼻出气，
行数十遍。不需要小咽气，即使腹中不热者，七息即可。口中温气咽下十次。
23、踞坐，用两手抱膝头，以鼻吸气，尽力吸七次，可消除腰痹、背痛。
[Original Text] The Eight Deities Daoyin Method of Wang Ziqiao prolongs life, benefits longevity, and eliminates a hundred diseases.
The method states: The pillow should be four cun high; the feet should be five cun apart from each other; the hands should be three cun away from the body. Loosen clothes and let hair down, lie flat on your back (Supine position). Do not have any thoughts, stabilize the mind, then slowly inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, directing the Qi to each Zang organ respectively. After reaching them, start again. If you wish to stop, first exhaust the Qi to that organ before stopping. Do not forcibly extend the breath; with long practice, it will naturally become longer. When Qi moves in and out, do not let the ears hear it, nor let the nose perceive it; keep it subtle, focused, and long. Then push it to the thigh (Fumian area), leg, etc., valuing awareness above all. It should be as if present and absent. Practice this one hundred times; the abdomen will move, Qi will resonate with audible sound, and the feet will feel warm. Success is achieved. Those who succeed, what disease can afflict them! The throat is like a silver ring, composed of twelve segments connected to the chest. Below connects to the Lung, which is white and lustrous. The front two lobes are high, the back two are low. The Heart ties below it, large at the top and sharp at the bottom, generally red like an unopened lotus flower, hanging upside down on the Lung. The Liver ties below, color pure green, like the neck feathers of a wild duck (Fu), six lobes embracing the Stomach, front two high, back four low. The Gallbladder ties below, like a green silk pouch. The Spleen is in the center, also embracing the Stomach, bright yellow like gold. The Kidneys are like two crouching mice, flanking the spine, aligned with the navel and elbow. To know their height, look down vertically from the upper arm, aligning with the elbow tip. Their color is pure black, wrapped in white fat, distinct white and black. The Stomach is like a plain pouch, noting its rightward curve, without risk of stagnation or filth. The Liver stores Hun (Ethereal Soul), the Lung stores Po (Corporeal Soul), the Heart stores Shen (Spirit), the Spleen stores Yi (Intellect), the Kidney stores Jing (Essence); this is called the "Shen She" (Abode of Spirits). When the Shen She is cultivated, the hundred vessels are harmonized, and pathogenic diseases have no place to reside. The Small Intestine is nine chi long, corresponding to the Nine Provinces (another saying: Nine Earths, length is two zhang four chi).
For those wishing to practice Daoyin, close eyes for Deficiency patterns, open eyes for Excess patterns. Direct Qi according to the afflicted area. Do not strictly stop at seven breaths; let Qi move slowly back and forth, measuring about two hundred steps. Sit slightly back, swallow Qi gently. If after five or six times there is no improvement, repeat the method until cured. For various ailments, lie flat, let hair down, slowly inhale through the mouth as per the method, filling the abdomen to the limit, breath nearly ceasing, then slowly exhale through the nose dozens of times. "Tonify the Deficient, Drain the Excess." Close the mouth, warm the Qi, and swallow thirty times. Wait for abdominal rumbling, then stop. Repeat back and forth two hundred times; if not cured, continue. For diseases in the throat and chest, use a seven-cun high pillow; for diseases below the heart, use a four-cun high pillow; for diseases below the navel, remove the pillow. Inhaling through the mouth and exhaling through the nose is called Tonification; closing the mouth, warming the Qi, and swallowing is called Draining. Methods for holding breath to treat diseases: To guide head diseases, tilt the head back; to guide waist and foot diseases, extend the ten toes upward; to guide chest diseases, pull the ten toes; to guide arm diseases, cover the arms. To remove cold-heat discomforts in the abdomen, such as catching cold with fever, hold breath and distend the abdomen. When wanting to breathe, slowly exhale through the nose. After finishing, repeat until cured.

[Explanation] The Eight Deities Zang Organ Daoyin Method of Wang Ziqiao (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney, Gallbladder, Stomach, Small Intestine are called the Eight Deities Zang Organs) has the effect of prolonging life, benefiting longevity, and eliminating a hundred diseases.
The method of practice is: Adopt a supine position, pillow height four cun, distance between feet five cun, hands three cun from body. Loosen clothes, let hair down, exclude distracting thoughts, gather mind and stabilize intention. Then slowly inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, using intention to guide Qi to each Zang organ. After reaching, repeat. To stop, first exhaust Qi to that organ, then stop. Do not forcibly extend breath; with long practice, it naturally becomes deep and long. Breath movement should be slight, imperceptible to ears and nose, fine, slow, soft, even, and deep. At this stage, guide Qi to thighs and calves, valuing sensation of Qi arrival. Do not use excessive intention; reach a state where Qi and intention are as if present and absent. Practice one hundred times; abdomen moves loudly, audible to ears, soles feel warm. One who completes this method has no diseases.
What is the shape of the "Eight Deities Zang Organs"? Generally, the throat (trachea) is like a silver ring, composed of twelve segments connected to the chest. The trachea connects downward to the Lung, white and lustrous, front two lobes high, back two low. The Heart ties below the Lung, large top, sharp bottom, like a red unopened lotus bud, hanging upside down. The Liver ties below, pure green, like wild duck neck feathers, six lobes embracing the Stomach, front two high, back four low. The Gallbladder ties below Liver, like a green silk pouch. The Spleen is central, embracing Stomach, bright yellow like gold. Kidneys are like two crouching mice, flanking spine, aligned with navel and elbow. Color pure black, wrapped in white fat, distinct. Stomach is like a clean pouch, curved right, no stagnation. Liver stores Hun, Lung stores Po, Heart stores Shen, Spleen stores Yi, Kidney stores Jing. These five Zang organs are the abodes of Spirit, Hun, Po, Yi, Jing, called "Shen She". When normal, hundred vessels harmonize, pathogens cannot reside. Small Intestine is nine chi long, corresponding to Nine Provinces (or Nine Earths, two zhang four chi).
Practitioners: Close eyes for Deficiency, open for Excess. Guide Qi by afflicted area. Do not stick to seven breaths limit; let Qi move slowly, about two hundred times. Sit, swallow Qi evenly. If no effect after five-six times, repeat until cured. Patients lie flat, hair down, inhale slowly through mouth to fill abdomen deeply but subtly, nearly ceasing, exhale slowly through nose dozens of times. Follow "Tonify Deficiency, Drain Excess". Close mouth, warm Qi, swallow thirty times, stop when abdomen rumbles. Repeat two hundred times; if not cured, continue. Pillow heights: Throat/Chest seven cun; Below heart four cun; Below navel none. Breathing: Mouth in/Nose out is Tonification; Closed mouth/warm/swallow is Draining. Holding breath methods: Head disease - tilt head back; Waist/Foot disease - extend toes; Chest disease - pull toes; Arm disease - cover arms; Abdominal cold-heat - hold breath/distend abdomen. Exhale slowly through nose when needed, repeat until cured.
1. Sit level, straighten waist, flatten feet, arms extended hands on ground. Inhale mouth, exhale nose. Treats chest/Lung pain. Swallow warm Qi. Close eyes.
