肾经诸穴歌
足少阴兮廿七,涌泉流于然谷,太溪大钟兮水泉绿,照海复溜兮交信续,从筑宾兮上阴谷,撩横骨兮大
赫麓,气穴四满兮中注,肓俞上通于商曲,守石关兮阴都宁,闭通谷兮幽门肃,步廊
神封而灵墟存,神藏或中而 府足。
肾经穴分寸歌
足掌心中是涌泉,然骨踝下一寸前,(内踝前一寸。)太溪踝后跟骨上,大钟跟后肿中边,(足跟后肿
中大骨上,两筋间也。)水泉溪下一寸觅,照海踝下四寸安,复溜踝上前二寸,交信踝上二寸联,一穴
止隔筋前后,太阳之后少阴前。(前旁骨是复溜,后旁骨是交信,二穴止隔一条筋。)筑宾内踝上 分,阴谷
膝下曲膝间,横骨大赫并气穴,四满中注亦相连,各开中行止寸半,上下相去一寸便。上膈肓俞亦
一寸,肓俞脐旁半寸边,肓俞商曲石关来,阴都通谷幽门辟,各开中行五分侠,六穴上下一寸裁,步廊神封灵
墟存,神藏或中俞府尊,各开中行计二寸,上下寸六六穴分,俞府璇玑旁二寸,取之得法自然真。

心包络经诸穴歌
手厥阴心包之脉,计有九穴而终。自天池天泉为始,逐曲泽 门而通,间使行于内关,大陵近乎劳宫,
既由掌握,抵于中冲。
心包络经穴分寸歌
心包起自天池间,乳后一寸腋下三,(腋下三寸,乳后一寸。)天泉
曲腋下二寸,曲泽屈肘陷中央, 门去腕方五寸,(掌后去腕五寸。)
间使腕后三寸量,内关去腕止二寸,大陵掌后两筋间,劳宫屈中名指取,(屈中指无名指,两者之间取之。)
中指之末中冲良。

Song of Acupoints on the Kidney Meridian
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian has twenty-seven acupoints. Starting from Yongquan (KI1, Springing Spring), the flow moves to Rangu (KI2, Natural Valley). Then come Taixi (KI3, Great Stream), Dazhong (KI4, Great Bell), and Shuiquan (KI5, Water Spring). Following these are Zhaohai (KI6, Illuminating Sea), Fuliou (KI7, Returning Flow), and Jiaoxin (KI8, Connecting Trust). Next is Zhubin (KI9, Guest Pavilion) ascending to Yinggu (KI10, Yin Valley). Then traversing Henggu (KI11, Horizontal Bone), Dahe (KI12, Great Heat), Qixue (KI13, Qi Gate), Siman (KI14, Four Fullnesses), and Zhongzhu (KI15, Central Note). Shangshu (KI16, Upper Obstruction) connects upwards via Huangshu (KI17, Yellow Gate). Shiguan (KI18, Stone Gate) stabilizes Yindu (KI19, Yin Capital), Tonggu (KI20, Passing Valley) closes youmen (KI21, Door of Yin). Bulang (KI22, Step Corridor), Shenfeng (KI23, Spirit Seal), and Lingxu (KI24, Spirit Void) remain. Shencang (KI25, Spirit Storage), Huomian (KI26, Hidden Cavity - *Note: Text says 'Huofu' or similar, standard is Huomian or similar, text says 'Yu Fu' at end. Text says 'Shen Cang Huo Zhong Er Yu Fu Zu'. Standard points are Shencang, Huomian, YuFu. The text likely contains typos for Huomian. Translating as per text structure but aligning with standard names where obvious. 'Huo Zhong' likely refers to Huomian (KI26). 'Yu Fu' is KI27.*) and Yufu (KI27, Jade Mansion) are present.

Yongquan (KI1) is in the center of the sole of the foot. Rangu (KI2) is one cun anterior to the medial malleolus root. (*Anterior to the medial malleolus by one cun.*) Taixi (KI3) is posterior to the ankle, above the calcaneus. Dazhong (KI4) is at the edge of the swollen bone behind the heel, (*Above the large bone swelling behind the heel, between the two tendons.*) Shuiquan (KI5) is found one cun below Taixi. Zhaohai (KI6) is located four cun below the medial malleolus. Fuliou (KI7) is two cun anterior to the medial malleolus. Jiaoxin (KI8) is connected two cun above the medial malleolus. These two acupoints are separated only by the front and back of a tendon, posterior to the Taiyang Bladder Meridian and anterior to the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. (*Fuliou is beside the bone anteriorly, Jiaoxin is beside the bone posteriorly; they are separated by only one tendon.*) Zhubin (KI9) is five cun above the medial malleolus. Yinggu (KI10) is in the space between the knee and the bent leg. Henggu (KI11), Dahe (KI12), and Qixue (KI13) are linked together, as are Siman (KI14) and Zhongzhu (KI15). Each is half a cun lateral to the midline, spaced one cun vertically from each other. The distance from the previous point to Huangshu (KI17) is also one cun. Huangshu (KI17) is half a cun lateral to the umbilicus. From Huangshu to Shangshu (KI16), Shiguan (KI18), Yindu (KI19), Tonggu (KI20), and Youmen (KI21), each is five fen lateral to the midline, with the six points spaced one cun apart vertically. Bulang (KI22), Shenfeng (KI23), and Lingxu (KI24) remain. Shencang (KI25), Huomian (KI26 - *Text says 'Huo Zhong', interpreted as Huomian*), and Yufu (KI27) are esteemed. Each is two cun lateral to the midline, with the six points spaced one cun and six fen apart vertically. Yufu (KI27) is two cun lateral to Xuanji (CV15); applying the correct method yields natural accuracy.

Song of Acupoints on the Pericardium Meridian
The Channel of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium concludes with nine acupoints. It begins with Tianchi (PC1, Heavenly Pool) and Tianquan (PC2, Heavenly Spring), then passes through Quze (PC3, Curve Marsh) and Ximen (PC4, Xi Gate) to connect. Jianshi (PC5, Intercalated Messenger) runs alongside Neiguan (PC6, Inner Pass). Daling (PC7, Great Palace) is near Laogong (PC8, Palatial Palace). Having passed through the palm, it reaches Zhongchong (PC9, Middle Rush) at the tip of the middle finger.
Song of Measurements for Acupoints on the Pericardium Meridian
The Pericardium Meridian starts at Tianchi (PC1), one cun posterior to the nipple and three cun under the axilla. (*Three cun under the axilla, one cun posterior to the nipple.*) Tianquan (PC2) is two cun under the armpit. Quze (PC3) is in the central depression when the elbow is flexed. Ximen (PC4) is five cun away from the wrist crease. (*Five cun proximal to the wrist crease on the palmar side.*) Jianshi (PC5) is measured three cun posterior to the wrist crease. Neiguan (PC6) is exactly two cun from the wrist crease. Daling (PC7) is between the two tendons posterior to the palm. Laogong (PC8) is taken when flexing the middle and ring fingers, (*Flex the middle and ring fingers; locate between them.*) at the midpoint. Zhongchong (PC9) is excellent at the tip of the middle finger.
