（素问气穴论）
黄帝问曰∶余闻气穴三百六十五，以应一岁，未知其所，愿卒闻之。（人身孔穴，皆气所居，本篇言穴不言经，故曰
气穴。周身三百六十五气穴，周岁三百六十五日，故以应一岁。卒，尽也。）岐伯稽首再拜对曰∶窘乎哉问也。其非圣帝，
孰能穷其道焉？因请溢意尽言其处。（窘，穷而难也。孰，谁也。溢，畅达也。）帝捧手逡巡而却曰∶夫子之开余道也，
目未见其处，耳未闻其数，而目以明，耳以聪矣。岐伯曰∶此所谓圣人易语，良马易御也。（圣人者闻声知情，无所不达，
故圣人易语。良马者不称其力，称其德也，故良马易御。）帝曰∶余非圣人之易语也，世言真数开人意，今余所访问者真
数，发蒙解惑，未足以论也。然余愿闻夫子溢志尽言其处，令解其意，请藏之金匮，不敢复出。（真数，格物穷理之数也。
发蒙解惑未足以论，盖帝自谦非圣人，故不有真数，不足以论也。）岐伯再拜而起曰∶臣请言之。（此下旧本有云∶背与
心相控而痛，所治天突与十椎及上纪，上纪者胃脘也，下纪者关元也。背胸邪系阴阳左右如此，其病前后痛涩，胸胁痛

Suwen: Qixue Lun (Treatise on Qi Acupoints)
The Yellow Emperor asked, "I have heard that there are three hundred and sixty-five Qi acupoints in the human body, corresponding to the days of a year. I do not know their specific locations and wish for you to explain them in detail." (All apertures in the human body are dwellings of Qi. This chapter discusses acupoints without explicitly mentioning meridians, hence the term 'Qi acupoints'. The total of 365 Qi acupoints corresponds to the 365 days of a year. 'Zu' means 'exhaustively'.)
Qibo bowed twice with his head touching the ground and replied, "Your question is indeed difficult. Only a sage emperor could exhaust its principles. Please allow me to speak freely and describe all their locations." ('Jiong' means distressed or difficult to answer. 'Shu' means who. 'Yi' means to express freely.)
The Yellow Emperor raised his hands, stepped back slightly, and said, "Master, your enlightenment has clarified my mind. Although I have not yet seen the locations or heard the numbers, my eyes are now clear and my ears are sharp." Qibo said, "This is what is meant by saying that sages are easy to instruct, and fine horses are easy to drive." (Sages can understand situations from hearing sounds, thus they are easy to communicate with. Fine horses are valued for their virtue rather than just strength, thus they are easy to handle.)
The Yellow Emperor said, "I am not as easy to instruct as a sage. It is said that true numbers open the mind. What I ask about are these true numbers, which can enlighten the ignorant and resolve doubts. However, this alone is not sufficient for profound discussion. Yet, I desire to hear you speak freely about their locations, so that I may understand their meaning. Please let me store this in the golden casket, and I dare not reveal it again." ('True numbers' refer to the numerical principles derived from investigating things. Saying 'enlightening the ignorant is insufficient for discussion' is the Emperor's modesty, implying that without true numbers, one cannot discuss profound matters.)
Qibo bowed again and rose, saying, "Your subject will explain." (Note: An old version contained an additional passage of 87 characters regarding pain between the back and heart, treating Tian Tu, Shi Zhui, Wei Wan, and Guan Yuan. New corrections suspect this text was misplaced from the Gu Kong Lun chapter and has been moved to the Acupuncture category, article 47.)
There are fifty acupoints of the Zang organs. (Zang refers to the five Zang organs. Shu refers to the Jing-River-Stream-Source-He categories. Each of the five Zang organs has five Shu points, totaling twenty-five. Bilaterally, this makes fifty points. Liver Jing-River point: Dadun; Ying-Spring: Xingjian; Shu-Stream: Taichong; Jing-River: Zhongfeng; He-Sea: Ququan. Pericardium Jing-River point: Zhongchong; Ying-Spring: Laogong; Shu-Stream: Daling; Jing-River: Jianshi; He-Sea: Quze. Spleen Jing-River point: Yinbai; Ying-Spring: Dabu; Shu-Stream: Taibai; Jing-River: Shangqiu; He-Sea: Yinlingquan. Lung Jing-River point: Shaoshang; Ying-Spring: Yuji; Shu-Stream: Taiyuan; Jing-River: Jingqu; He-Sea: Chize. Kidney Jing-River point: Yongquan; Ying-Spring: RanGu; Shu-Stream: Taixi; Jing-River: Fuliou; He-Sea: YinGu. Note: The text mentions the Pericardium but not the Heart directly here, citing the Xieke chapter: 'The Hand-Shaoyin meridian alone has no Shu points.' Evil invading the Heart affects the Pericardium, which is the meridian of the Heart Master. See Acupuncture category, article 23 for details.)
There are seventy-two acupoints of the Fu organs. (Fu refers to the six Fu organs. While Zang points follow the five-category system, Fu points follow a six-category system including Jing-River, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Yuan-Source, Jing-River, and He-Sea. Each of the six Fu organs has six points, totaling thirty-six. Bilaterally, this makes seventy-two points. Gallbladder Jing-River point: Qiaoyin; Ying-Spring: Xiaxi; Shu-Stream: Linqi; Yuan-Source: Qiuxu; Jing-River: Yangfu; He-Sea: Yanglingquan. Stomach Jing-River point: Lidui; Ying-Spring: Neiting; Shu-Stream: XianGu; Yuan-Source: Chongyang; Jing-River: JieXi; He-Sea: Zusanli. Large Intestine Jing-River point: Shangyang; Ying-Spring: Erjian; Shu-Stream: Sanjian; Yuan-Source: Hegu; Jing-River: Yangxi; He-Sea: Quchi. Small Intestine Jing-River point: Shaoze; Ying-Spring: QianGu; Shu-Stream: Houxi; Yuan-Source: Wangu; Jing-River: Yanggu; He-Sea: Xiaohai. Sanjiao Jing-River point: Guanchong; Ying-Spring: Yemen; Shu-Stream: Zhongzhu; Yuan-Source: Yangchi; Jing-River: Zhigou; He-Sea: Tianjing. Bladder Jing-River point: Zhiyin; Ying-Spring: Tonggu; Shu-Stream: Shugu; Yuan-Source: Jinggu; Jing-River: Kunlun; He-Sea: Weizhong.)
There are fifty-nine acupoints for treating heat. (Details are in the commentary on Shuire Xue Lun, see Acupuncture category, article 39.)
There are fifty-seven acupoints for treating water disorders. (See Acupuncture category, article 36, and Wang Bing's commentary on Shuire Xue Lun.)
On the head, five rows with five points each, totaling twenty-five points. (This reiterates part of the 59 heat-treating points mentioned earlier.)
Ten points on both sides of the spine. (These are the Back-Shu points of the five Zang organs: Feishu, Xinshu, Ganshu, Pishu, Shenshu, located bilaterally along the Foot-Taiyang meridian next to the spine.)
Two points on either side above Dazhui. (Dazhui is a Du Meridian point. The two points beside it are not recorded in the Jiayi Jing or other standard texts, so their identity is unknown. New corrections state there are no points above Dazhui. However, pressing here causes significant pain, suggesting points exist, possibly omitted in older texts.)
Four points: Tongziliao and Fu Bai (two on each side), belonging to the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.
Two points at the midpoint of the hip joint crease (Huati). (Refers to the gap in the hip bone, i.e., Huantiao of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Dubi. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Duo Suo Wen. (Tinggong of the Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Meiben. (Canzhu of the Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Wanggu. (Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
One point: Center of the neck. (Fengfu of the Du Meridian.)
Two points: Occipital bone. (Shangqiaoyin of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Shangguan. (Keyeren/Shangguan of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Daying. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Xiaguan. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Tianzhu. (Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Four points: Juxu Shanglian and Juxu Xialian. (Both belong to the Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Quya. (Jiache of the Foot-Yangming meridian.)
One point: Tiantu. (Ren Meridian.)
Two points: Tianfu. (Hand-Taiyin meridian.)
Two points: Tianyou. (Hand-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Futu. (Hand-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Tianchuang. (Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Jianjie. (Jianjing of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
One point: Guan Yuan. (Ren Meridian.)
Two points: Weiyang. (Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Jianzhen. (Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
One point: Yanmen. (Yamen of the Du Meridian.)
One point: Qi (Umbilicus). (Shenque of the Ren Meridian.)
Twelve points: Xiong Shu. (Specifically referring to points like Yufu, Shencang, Lingxu, Shenfeng, Bulang on the Foot-Shaoyin meridian, twelve bilaterally. *Note: Text lists specific points.*)
Two points: Bei Shu. (Dazhu of the Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Twelve points: Ying Shu. (Located on the chest sides. Includes Yunmen and Zhongfu of Hand-Taiyin, and Zhourong, Xiang, Tianxi, Shidou of Foot-Taiyin, twelve bilaterally.)
Two points: Fenrou. (Yangfu of Foot-Shaoyang meridian, listed redundantly.)
Four points: Above the ankle. (Jiaoxin above the medial malleolus [Foot-Shaoyin]; Fuyang above the lateral malleolus [Foot-Taiyang]. Total four bilaterally. *Note: Original text incorrectly attributes Jiaoxin to Foot-Shaoyang in parentheses, but correctly identifies Fuyang as Foot-Taiyang. Standard theory places Jiaoxin on Kidney/Foot-Shaoyin.*)
Four points: Yin and Yang Qiao. (Yin Qiao is Zhaohai of Foot-Shaoyin; Yang Qiao is Shenmai of Foot-Taiyang. Total four bilaterally.)
Water acupoints are located in various muscle divisions. (Water belongs to Yin, residing in muscle textures; thus, water disorders are treated by selecting Yin divisions, such as the 57 water points.)
Heat acupoints are located at Qi gathering sites. (Heat belongs to Yang, residing where Qi gathers; thus, heat disorders are treated by selecting Yang divisions, such as the 59 heat points.)
Cold-heat acupoints are at the two points in the middle of the knee joints. (Refers to Yangguan of Foot-Shaoyang, located laterally below the knee. 'Hai' refers to the tibia.)
Twenty-five major prohibitions (Da Jin). (Refers to Wuli of Hand-Yangming, located 5 cun below Tianfu of Hand-Taiyin. Bilaterally two points. The Yuban chapter warns against over-stimulating Wuli as it depletes organ Qi. See Acupuncture category, article 61.)
In total, there are three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, which are the pathways for needle treatment. (From the 50 Zang points to here, the count reaches 365. If adding the previously displaced points (Tiantu, Shi Zhui, Weiwan, Guan Yuan), the total would be 369. Excluding duplicates (Tiantu, Guan Yuan, and the 25 head points), the actual unique count is 342. Due to the great distance from antiquity, many details have been lost, making exact verification impossible.)
