〔原文〕虾蟆行气法，正坐，自动摇两臂，不息十二通，愈劳大佳。
左右侧卧，不息十二通，治痰饮不消。右有饮病，右侧卧；左有饮病，左侧卧。有不
消，气排之。
日初出、日中、日入，此三时向日正立不息九通，仰头吸日精光，九咽之，益精百倍。
〔解说〕虾蟆行气法，正位，摇动两臂，不息十二通，此法治疗虚劳效果非常好。
侧卧位，或左或右，不息十二通，治痰饮不化。右边有饮病，右侧卧；左边饮病，左侧
卧。如有痰饮不消，可引气
排除之。
选择日出、日中（正午）、日落这三个时辰，面朝太阳正立，不息九通，抬头仰首
吸气，取太阳精华之光，吞咽九阳之数，可使人精神百倍。
小结∶
本篇第二条在“七、痰饮门”，第三条在“十二、积聚门”中已有讨论。这里重点
探讨虾蟆行气法。
《诸病源候论》“卷一·风身体手足不随候”有∶“极力左右振两臀，不息九通
。愈臀痛劳倦，风气不随。振两臀者，更互 （蹋和踢的意思），犹言蹶（同 。颠
仆；踏）。九通中间，偃伏皆为之，名虾蟆行气。”可见虾蟆行气法是古人模仿虾蟆游走
的动作而行的导引术。方法是∶俯伏床上，两手平撑，支持上身，然后用力左右振动两
臀部，不息九通。振两臀就是交替踢蹬两腿，犹如牲畜尥蹶子，虾蟆蹈水那样，左踢动九次
，右踢动九次。踢动时要配合呼吸，使动静结合。
本节曰∶“虾蟆行气法，正坐，自动摇两臂，”方法是端正而坐，如虾蟆游水样摇动两
手臂。可与前段结合，作为二节动作，先摇臂行气，后摇臀踢脚行气，使成一完整
虾蟆功。

[Original Text] The Toad Qi-Flowing Method: Sit upright, automatically shake both arms, hold the breath for twelve cycles. It is highly effective in curing exhaustion (Xu Lao).
Lie on either side, hold the breath for twelve cycles, to treat phlegm-fluid retention that does not dissipate. If there is fluid disease on the right, lie on the right side; if on the left, lie on the left side. If it does not dissipate, use Qi to expel it.
At sunrise, noon, and sunset, during these three times, stand facing the sun upright, hold the breath for nine cycles, tilt the head back to inhale the essence of sunlight, swallow it nine times, which will multiply your Jing (Essence) by a hundredfold.
[Explanation] The Toad Qi-Flowing Method: In an upright position, shake both arms, hold the breath for twelve cycles. This method is very effective in treating deficiency-exhaustion (Xu Lao).
In a lateral recumbent position, either left or right, hold the breath for twelve cycles, to treat indissoluble phlegm-fluids (Tan Yin). If there is fluid disease on the right, lie on the right side; if on the left, lie on the left side. If phlegm-fluids do not dissipate, guide the Qi to expel them.
Choose the three periods of sunrise, midday (noon), and sunset. Stand upright facing the sun, hold the breath for nine cycles, raise the head and tilt the chin to inhale air, absorb the essence light of the sun, and swallow according to the number of Nine Yangs, which can make one’s spirit a hundred times more vigorous.
Summary:
The second item of this chapter has already been discussed in "Chapter 7: Door of Phlegm-Fluids," and the third item in "Chapter 12: Door of Accumulations." Here, we focus on discussing the Toad Qi-Flowing Method.
*Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (General Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of All Diseases), "Volume 1: Prognosis of Wind Causing Inability to Move Body, Hands, and Feet," states: "Exert strength to shake both buttocks left and right, hold the breath for nine cycles. It cures buttock pain, fatigue, and wind-Qi inability to flow. Shaking the buttocks means alternating kicking, similar to saying 'jue' (topple; step). During the nine cycles, while prostrate, all do this, named the Toad Qi-Flowing Method." Thus, it can be seen that the Toad Qi-Flowing Method is a Daoyin (guiding and pulling) technique performed by ancient people imitating the movement of a toad swimming. The method is: Lie prone on a bed, support the upper body with both hands flat, then vigorously shake both buttocks left and right, holding the breath for nine cycles. Shaking the buttocks refers to alternately kicking the two legs, just like livestock kicking up their heels or a toad treading water—kick left nine times, kick right nine times. When kicking, coordinate with breathing to combine movement and stillness.
This section states: "The Toad Qi-Flowing Method: Sit upright, automatically shake both arms." The method is to sit properly and shake both arms as if a toad is swimming. This can be combined with the previous paragraph as two sets of movements: first shake the arms to flow Qi, then shake the buttocks and kick the feet to flow Qi, forming a complete Toad Kung Fu.
