Figure of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian
The Kidney meridian originates below the little toe, enters the Stomach, and then enters the Pericardium.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian originates below the little toe of the foot, slants towards the center of the sole (Yongquan, KI1), emerges below RanGu (KI2, located anterior to the medial malleolus), passes behind the ankle (Taixi, KI3), branches into the heel, ascends along the posterior aspect of the medial leg, emerges at the medial aspect of the popliteal fossa (Yingu, KI10), ascends along the posterior medial aspect of the thigh, pierces the spine, connects with the Kidneys, and links with the Bladder. The straight branch ascends from the Kidneys, passes through the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lungs, follows the throat, and flanks the root of the tongue. The branch emerging from the Lungs connects with the Heart and pours into the chest.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian is characterized by deficient Blood and abundant Qi. When this meridian undergoes pathological changes, the following disorders occur: a sensation of hunger without desire to eat, complexion as dark as charcoal, hemoptysis (coughing up blood) during coughing and expectoration, wheezing and asthma in the throat, a desire to rise but inability to do so, blurred vision as if unable to see, a feeling of emptiness in the heart as if suspended, resembling hunger. If Qi is deficient, there is excessive fear; the mind is restless and apprehensive, as if someone were about to capture it. This is termed "Bone Jue" (Bone Reversal). This meridian governs diseases generated by the Kidneys: heat in the mouth and dryness of the tongue, swelling and obstruction in the throat, upward rushing of Qi, dryness and pain in the pharynx, vexation in the heart, heart pain, jaundice, intestinal rumbling and diarrhea, pain along the posterior medial aspect of the spine and thigh, flaccidity syndrome, reversal cold, lethargy, heat and pain in the soles of the feet.
Figure of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian
The Pericardium meridian originates in the chest, follows the path between the little finger and the ring finger, ending at its tip, and pours into the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) meridian.
The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Collateral meridian originates in the chest, emerges and connects with the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and successively links with the Upper, Middle, and Lower Sanjiao (Triple Burners). Its branch follows the chest, emerges from the hypochondrium, descends three cun below the axilla, ascends to reach the axilla, descends along the medial aspect of the upper arm, running between the Hand-Taiyin Lung meridian and the Hand-Shaoyin Heart meridian (the Hand-Taiyin is superior, the Hand-Shaoyin is inferior, and the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium is in the middle), enters the elbow center (Quze, PC3), descends along the forearm between two tendons (Neiguan/Laogong pathway context, specifically Laogong is palm, Neiguan is wrist; text says Laogong here for palm entry, but anatomically Neiguan is between tendons. Text says: "between two tendons (Laogong acupoint)" - Note: Anatomically Laogong is in palm, Neiguan is between tendons. I will translate strictly according to text provided: "between two tendons (Laogong acupoint)"), enters the center of the palm (Laogong, PC8), follows the middle finger to its tip (Zhongchong, PC9). Another branch separates from the palm, follows the space between the little finger and the ring finger, and emerges at its tip (connecting with the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian).
The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Collateral meridian is characterized by abundant Blood and deficient Qi. When this meridian undergoes pathological changes, the following disorders occur: heat in the palms, spasm and stiffness of the elbows and arms, swelling in the axillae, and in severe cases, distension and fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, internal heat sensation in the heart like fire moving, redness of the facial complexion, excessive laughter, and yellowing of the eyes. This meridian governs diseases generated by the Pericardium meridian: vexation in the heart, heart pain, and heat in the palms.
