The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian has sixty-three acupoints: Jingming (BL1), Cuanzhu (BL2), Qucha (BL3). Wuchu (BL4), Chengguang (BL5), Tongtian (BL6); Luoque (BL7), Yuzhen (BL8), Tianzhu (BL9) stand prominent. Dazhu (BL11), Fengmen (BL12) lead to Feishu (BL13); Jueryin (BL14), Xinshu (BL15), Geshu (BL17) are noted. Gaoshu (BL18), Danshu (BL19), Pishu (BL20) combine; Weishu (BL21), Sanjiaoshu (BL22), Shenshu (BL23) are in the middle. Dachangshu (BL25), Xiaochangshu (BL27), Pangguangshu (BL28); Zhonglüshu (BL29), Baihuan (BL30) are bilaterally distributed. From Dazhu (BL11) to Baihuan (BL30), they are located three cun lateral to the midline of the spine. Shangliao (BL31), Ciliao (BL32), Zhongliao (BL33), Xialiao (BL34), Huiyang (BL35), Chengfu (BL36), Yinmen (BL37), Yangguan (GB29 - *Note: Text says 'Yang' but context implies lower back points, likely referring to Liao points or specific local points, strictly translating text as 'Yang point'*). Fupi (BL38), Weiyang (BL39), Weizhong (BL40) in the depression; Fufen (BL12) is at the inner arm/spine junction. The Taiyang meridian runs along the third line of the back: Pohu (BL42), Gaohuang (BL43), and Shen Tang (BL44). Ge Guan (BL46) and Hun Men (BL47) are on the sides; Yang Gang (BL48), Yi She (BL49), Wei Cang (BL50) remain. Huang Men (BL51), Zhi Shi (BL52), Baohuang (BL53) continue; Zhibian (BL54) is hidden below the twentieth vertebra. Below Hegu (not a bladder point, likely typo for He Yang or similar, text says 'He Gu yi xia He Yang', meaning from below [some point] to Heyang), Heyang (BL57) is reached; Chengjin (BL56) and Chengshan (BL58) follow. Feiyang (BL59), Fuyang (BL59 - *Typo in source likely, Fuyang is BL60? No, Feiyang is BL58, Fuyang is not standard BL, likely refers to Fuyang GB or similar, but text lists with Kunlun. Actually Feiyang is BL58, Fuyang is not a standard BL point name in this sequence, possibly 'Fuyang' refers to a different point or typo for 'Futai'? Wait, standard list: Feiyang BL58, Kunlun BL60, Pucan BL61, Shenmai BL62, Jinmen BL63. The text says "Feiyang Fuyang Ji Kunlun". There is no Fuyang in BL meridian. It might be a typo for something else or a rare name. I will translate literally.*), and Kunlun (BL60); Pucan (BL61), Shenmai (BL62) connect to Jinmen (BL63). Jinggu (BL64), Shugu (BL65), Tonggu (BL66); Zhiyin (BL67) continues on the lateral side of the little toe.

The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian begins at Jingming (BL1) in the inner canthus of the eye. Cuanzhu (BL2) is named for the depression in the brow head; Qucha (BL3) accompanies Shenting (GV24). Wuchu (BL4) is arranged beside Shangxing (GV23). Chengguang (BL5) is one and a half cun posterior to Wuchu. Tongtian (BL6) and Luoque (BL7) are evenly spaced. Yuzhen (BL8) horizontally flanks Naohu (GV17); measurements should strictly follow the *Cu Ren Jing* (Bronze Man Classic). Tianzhu (BL10) is clamped behind the hairline of the nape, in the depression outside the large tendons. Clamping the spine, they are one and a half cun from the midline: Dazhu (BL11), Dazhui (GV14), and two Fengmen (BL12). Feishu (BL13) is at the third vertebral level, Jueryin (BL14) at the fourth; Xinshu (BL15) is discussed below the fifth vertebral level. Furthermore, Geshu (BL17) is arranged like steps, standing faintly below the seventh vertebral level. There is no acupoint below the eighth vertebral level; counting forward, Gaoshu (BL18) should be at the ninth. The tenth vertebral level is Danshu (BL19), the eleventh is Pishu (BL20); Weishu (BL21) is taken below the twelfth. Sanjiaoshu (BL22) and Shenshu (BL23) descend sequentially, governed by the thirteenth and fourteenth vertebrae. Dachangshu (BL25) is at the sixteenth vertebra; Xiaochangshu (BL27) ends at the eighteenth. Pangguangshu (BL28) is sought below the nineteenth; Zhonglüshu (BL29) is at the twentieth. Baihuan (BL30) corresponds to the twenty-first. Shangliao (BL31), Ciliao (BL32), Zhongliao (BL33), and Xialiao (BL34). One empty space, two empty spaces flank the waist and hips, together with four points clamping the spine, recorded in the *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold), do not be surprised. Huiyang (BL35) divides on both sides of the coccyx; measurements must refer to the Du Meridian divisions. Outside the second vertebral level is Fufen (BL12); ancient methods state the distance from the spine. First measure three cun posterior to the spine; if moxa is applied too narrowly, it may injure the sinews. Pohu (BL42) is at the third vertebral level, Gaohuang (BL43) at the fourth; the distinction between the fourth and fifth is clear. Seek Shen Tang (BL44) below the fifth vertebral level; two points emerge at the sixth. Ge Guan (BL46) is at the seventh, Hun Men (BL47) at the ninth; Yang Gang (BL48), Yi She (BL49) are at the tenth and eleventh. Counting fingers, Wei Cang (BL50) and Huang Men (BL51) correspond to the twelfth and thirteenth vertebrae. Zhi Shi (BL52) follows as the fourteenth; Baohuang (BL53) is detailed at the nineteenth. Zhibian (BL54) is below the twentieth vertebra; Chengfu (BL36) is in the center of the gluteal crease. Yinmen (BL37) is directly six cun above Chengfu; Fupi (BL38) is one cun above to Weiyang (BL39). Weiyang (BL39) aligns with Yinmen, between the two tendons of the outer and middle aspects. Weizhong (BL40) is in the center of the popliteal crease; below this, three cun down, seek Heyang (BL57). Chengjin (BL56) is in the center of the calf muscle; Chengshan (BL58) is beside the divided flesh below. Feiyang (BL58) is seven cun above the lateral malleolus; Fuyang (likely error for another point or rare name, translated as Fuyang) is measured three cun above the malleolus. Jinmen (BL63) is exactly below the lateral malleolus; Kunlun (BL60) is in the middle of the heel bone behind the malleolus. Pucan (BL61) is in the depression below the calcaneus; Shenmai (BL62) is clearly accommodated below the malleolus. Jinggu (BL64) is below the large bone on the lateral side; Shugu (BL65) is in the depression behind the metatarsophalangeal joint. Tonggu (BL66) is in the depression anterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint; Zhiyin (BL67) is encountered on the lateral side of the little toe.
