大敦拇指看毛聚,行间指间动脉处,节后寸半或二寸,太冲有脉诚堪据,中封一寸内踝
前,蠡沟踝上五寸专,踝上七寸名中都,膝关鼻下二寸余,曲泉膝内辅骨下,大筋上下索筋罅,
阴包四寸膝以上,内廉筋间索其当,五里三寸气下冲,有脉有动阴股中,羊失之下曰阴廉,
气冲相去二寸通。
小指次指胆所起,窍阴去爪韭菜是,歧骨节前名侠溪,地五会兮一寸是,侠溪寸半至临
泣,丘墟踝下如前此,悬钟踝上三寸收,阳辅四寸踝上头,五寸光明穴更有,七寸名外丘阳交,
针取对一寸膝外,二寸阳陵又阳关,腋上三寸是中渎,外膝五寸翳风中,垂手点到指尽处,
环跳侧取细参是。
二十一穴太阴脾,隐白大都太白随,公孙商丘三阴交,漏谷地机阴陵拗,血海箕门爵
门冲开,府舍腹结大横排,胸乡周荣大包随。
足穴少阴二十七,涌泉然骨太溪益,大钟照海通水泉,复溜交信筑宾连,阴谷横骨大赫
亦,气穴四满中注立,肓俞商曲石关蹲,阴都通谷幽门僻,步廊神封接灵墟,神藏 中俞府推。
阳明并穴起厉兑,大次指端应属胃,上指外间是内庭,节后三寸陷谷位,此是三寸或二
寸,冲阳动脉还相应,解溪更后寸半中,踝上八寸丰隆正,三里膝下三寸强,上巨虚下三寸量,
下巨虚兮三分取,中折寸半条口当,膝膑之下有犊鼻,膝上二寸梁丘的,阴市三伏伏兔穴,
髀关兔后思分中,膝眼四穴又不同,膝头骨下两旁取,陷中仔细寻其宗。
