条文:风廓属胆水膀胱,大肠天廓地胃乡,火廓小肠雷廓命,山泽三焦包络方。
方剂:
【注】[1]此明八廓所属也。
[2]风廓即风轮也,风轮属肝,肝与胆为表里,故轮主脏为肝病,廓主腑
为胆病。
[3]水廓即水轮也,水轮属肾,肾与膀胱为表里,故轮主脏为肾病,廓主
腑为膀胱病。
[4]天廓即气轮也,气轮属肺,肺与大肠为表里,故轮主脏为肺病,廓主
腑为大肠病。
[5]地廓即肉轮也,肉轮属脾,脾与胃为表里,故轮主脏为脾病,廓主腑
为胃病。
[6]火廓、雷廓、山廓,即血轮之部位也,血轮属心,心与小肠为表里,
故轮主脏为心病,廓主腑为小肠病。
[7]其雷廓命门、泽廓三焦、山廓包络,皆附于血轮者,以命门、三焦、
包络,俱属相火,当禀命于君火,故当附焉。
【按】
眼科皆以五轮属脏,配五行;八廓属藏腑,配八卦,遂使脏腑混淆,无所
适从。夫五轮既属脏,八卦自应属腑。今改订之,俾学者按轮廓之部位视
之,而病之在脏、在腑,自能了然矣。

[Ba Kuo Zhu Liu Fu Ming Men Bao Luo Bing Ge]
The Feng Kuo (Wind Palisade) belongs to the Gallbladder; the Shui Kuo (Water Palisade) belongs to the Bladder; the Tian Kuo (Heaven Palisade) belongs to the Large Intestine; and the Di Kuo (Earth Palisade) belongs to the Stomach. The Huo Kuo (Fire Palisade) belongs to the Small Intestine; the Lei Kuo (Thunder Palisade) belongs to the Ming Men (Gate of Life); and the Shan Kuo (Mountain Palisade) and Ze Kuo (Marsh Palisade) belong to the San Jiao (Triple Burner) and Pericardium, respectively.
[Annotations]
[1] This passage clarifies the organ associations of the Eight Palisades (Ba Kuo).
[2] The Feng Kuo is also known as the Feng Lun (Wind Wheel). The Feng Lun belongs to the Liver. Since the Liver and Gallbladder are exterior-interiorly related, the Lun primarily reflects Zang-organ diseases as Liver diseases, while the Kuo primarily reflects Fu-organ diseases as Gallbladder diseases.
[3] The Shui Kuo is also known as the Shui Lun (Water Wheel). The Shui Lun belongs to the Kidney. Since the Kidney and Bladder are exterior-interiorly related, the Lun primarily reflects Zang-organ diseases as Kidney diseases, while the Kuo primarily reflects Fu-organ diseases as Bladder diseases.
[4] The Tian Kuo is also known as the Qi Lun (Qi Wheel). The Qi Lun belongs to the Lung. Since the Lung and Large Intestine are exterior-interiorly related, the Lun primarily reflects Zang-organ diseases as Lung diseases, while the Kuo primarily reflects Fu-organ diseases as Large Intestine diseases.
[5] The Di Kuo is also known as the Rou Lun (Flesh Wheel). The Rou Lun belongs to the Spleen. Since the Spleen and Stomach are exterior-interiorly related, the Lun primarily reflects Zang-organ diseases as Spleen diseases, while the Kuo primarily reflects Fu-organ diseases as Stomach diseases.
[6] The Huo Kuo, Lei Kuo, and Shan Kuo are all located within the Xue Lun (Blood Wheel). The Xue Lun belongs to the Heart. Since the Heart and Small Intestine are exterior-interiorly related, the Lun primarily reflects Zang-organ diseases as Heart diseases, while the Kuo primarily reflects Fu-organ diseases as Small Intestine diseases.
[7] Among these, the Lei Kuo corresponds to the Ming Men (Gate of Life), the Ze Kuo to the San Jiao (Triple Burner), and the Shan Kuo to the Pericardium. All attach to the Xue Lun because the Ming Men, San Jiao, and Pericardium all pertain to Ministerial Fire (Xiang Huo) and must receive orders from Sovereign Fire (Jun Huo); therefore, they should be attached here.
[Commentary]
Ophthalmology traditionally associates the Five Wheels (Wu Lun) with the Zang organs and the Five Elements, and associates the Eight Palisades (Ba Kuo) with the Fu organs and the Eight Trigrams. This has led to confusion between Zang and Fu concepts, leaving practitioners unsure how to proceed. Since the Five Wheels already belong to the Zang organs, the Eight Trigrams should naturally belong to the Fu organs. We have revised this so that students can observe the locations of the palisades and clearly understand whether the disease resides in a Zang or Fu organ.
[Ba Kuo Suo Shu Ge]

The Guan Quan Lei Kuo (Spring-Closing Thunder Palisade) is governed by the Ming Men (Gate of Life); the Bao Yang Nei Zi Huo Kuo (Embracing-Yang Inner Canthus Fire Palisade) belongs to the Small Intestine; the Wai Zi San Jiao Qing Jing Ze Kuo (Outer Canthus Triple Burner Pure-Clean Marsh Palisade) belongs to the San Jiao (Triple Burner); and the Hui Yin Shan Kuo (Meeting-Yin Mountain Palisade) is the domain of the Pericardium.
