The Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian begins at Tongziliao (BL1), with a total of forty-three acupoints along its distant and extensive pathway. Tinghui (GB2), Shangguan (ST7, also known as Keyizhuren), and Hanyan (GB4) converge here; Xuanlu (GB5), Xuanli (GB6), and Qubin (GB7) stand elevated. Lvgu (GB8), Tianchong (GB9), and Fubai (GB10) follow in sequence; Qiaoyin (GB11), Wanggu (GB12), and Benshen (GB13) are located here. Yangbai (GB14) and Zulinqi (GB41) open the Mucuang (GB16) point; Zhengying (GB17), Chengling (GB18), and Naokong (GB19) connect. Fengchi (GB20), Jianjing (GB21), Yuanli (GB24), Zhejin (GB25), Riyue (GB24), and Jingmen (GB25) each hold their positions. Daimai (GB26), Wushu (GB27), and Weidao (GB28) continue downwards; Juliao (GB29), Huantiao (GB30), and Zhongdu (GB31) are distributed in order. Yangguan (GB33), Yangdao (GB34), Fuliu (KI7, note: text likely refers to a GB point or typo for Yangjiao context, but strictly translating text "Yangdao" is not standard GB, assuming textual entity extraction), Yangjiao (GB35); Waixiu (GB36), Guangming (GB37), and Yangfu (GB38) are positioned higher. Xuanzhong (GB39), Qiuxu (GB40), and Zulinqi (GB41); Diwu (GB42), Jiaxi (GB43), and Qiaoyin (GB44) conclude this meridian.
