骨大钟班；三焦阳池包内关，包原大陵焦外关；胆原丘墟肝蠡沟，肝胆太冲光明闲。
【注】凡脏腑有病，均可以刺之，即《难经》云∶五脏六腑有病，皆取其原者是也。盖
各经有所主之病，必随其各经表里，先主后客并刺之。主者原穴也，客者络穴也。如手
太阴肺经病，可刺本经里之原穴，即太渊穴也，复刺大肠表之络穴，即偏历穴也；手阳

主病之原穴为主，络穴为客，随表随里之刺法也。

手少阴肾经的井穴是涌泉，然谷穴作为荥穴本是天然，太溪穴作为输穴，复溜穴是经穴，阴谷穴作为合穴在踝前旋转处。
手厥阴心包经的井穴是中冲，掌中的劳宫穴即为荥穴，大陵穴取名为输穴，间使穴是经穴，曲泽穴是合穴。
足厥阴肝经的井穴是大敦，行间穴便作为荥穴，太冲处为输穴，中封穴是经穴，曲泉穴是合穴。
手阳明大肠经的井穴是商阳，二间穴为荥穴，三间穴为输穴，合谷穴和原穴、阳溪穴为经穴，曲池穴为合穴正相当。

脏腑有病均适宜针刺，原穴和络穴表里相随来看待。肺经的原穴太渊配大肠经的络穴偏历，大肠经的原穴合谷配肺经的络穴列缺；脾经的原穴太白配胃经的络穴丰隆，胃经的原穴冲阳配脾经的络穴公孙；心经的原穴神门配小肠经的络穴支正，小肠经的原穴腕骨配心经的络穴通里；肾经的原穴太溪配膀胱经的络穴飞扬，膀胱经的原穴京骨配肾经的络穴大钟；三焦经的原穴阳池配心包经的络穴内关，心包经的原穴大陵配三焦经的络穴外关；胆经的原穴丘墟配肝经的络穴蠡沟，肝经的原穴太冲配胆经的络穴光明。
【注】凡是脏腑有病，都可以进行针刺，正如《难经》所说：五脏六腑有病，都取其原穴的道理。因为各条经脉有其所主的病证，必须随着各经脉的表里关系，先刺主经后刺客经并刺。主经指的是原穴，客经指的是络穴。例如手太阴肺经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即太渊穴，再针刺大肠经表的络穴，即偏历穴；手阳明大肠经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即合谷穴，再针刺肺经里的络穴，即列缺穴；足太阴脾经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即太白穴，再针刺胃经表的络穴，即丰隆穴；足阳明胃经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即冲阳穴，再针刺脾经里的络穴，即公孙穴；手少阴心经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即神门穴，再针刺小肠经表的络穴，即支正穴；手太阳小肠经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即腕骨穴，再针刺心经里的络穴，即通里穴；足少阴肾经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即太溪穴，再针刺膀胱经表的络穴，即飞扬穴；足太阳膀胱经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即京骨穴，再针刺肾经里的络穴，即大钟穴；手少阳三焦经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即阳池穴，再针刺心包络经表的络穴，即内关穴；手厥阴心包络经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即大陵穴，再针刺三焦经表的络穴，即外关穴；足少阳胆经有病，可以针刺本经表的原穴，即丘墟穴，再针刺肝经里的络穴，即蠡沟穴；足厥阴肝经有病，可以针刺本经里的原穴，即太冲穴，再针刺胆经表的络穴，即光明穴。这是十二经主病的原穴为主，络穴为客，随表随里的针刺方法。

When Zang-Fu organs have diseases, acupuncture is suitable; the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) and Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) points should be viewed following their interior-exterior relationships.

[Note] Whenever there is disease in the Zang-Fu organs, acupuncture can be applied, as stated in the *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues): "For diseases of the five Zang and six Fu organs, one should select their Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) points." This is because each meridian has specific diseases it governs, and treatment must follow the interior-exterior relationship of the meridians, first treating the principal meridian and then the guest meridian simultaneously. The principal refers to the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point, and the guest refers to the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point. For example, if the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Taiyuan (Tai Yuan), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Large Intestine, namely Pianli (Pian Li); if the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Hegu (He Gu), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point within the interior meridian of the Lung, namely Lieque (Lie Que); if the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Taibai (Tai Bai), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Stomach, namely Fenglong (Feng Long); if the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Chongyang (Chong Yang), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point within the interior meridian of the Spleen, namely Gongsun (Gong Sun); if the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Shenmen (Shen Men), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Small Intestine, namely Zhizheng (Zhi Zheng); if the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Wanggu (Wang Gu), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point within the interior meridian of the Heart, namely Tongli (Tong Li); if the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Taixi (Tai Xi), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Bladder, namely Feiyang (Fei Yang); if the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Jinggu (Jing Gu), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point within the interior meridian of the Kidney, namely Dazhong (Da Zhong); if the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Yangchi (Yang Chi), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Pericardium, namely Neiguan (Nei Guan); if the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Daling (Da Ling), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Sanjiao, namely Waiguan (Wai Guan); if the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point on this exterior meridian, namely Qiuxu (Qiu Xu), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point within the interior meridian of the Liver, namely Ligou (Li Gou); if the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian has disease, one may needle the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) point within this interior meridian, namely Taichong (Tai Chong), and additionally needle the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) point on the exterior meridian of the Gallbladder, namely Guangming (Guang Ming). This is the acupuncture method of following interior-exterior relationships where the Yuan-Source (Yuan Source) points for the principal diseases of the twelve meridians serve as the master, and the Luo-Connecting (Luo Connecting) points serve as the guest.
