阴跷脉者，亦起于跟中，循内踝上行，至咽喉、交贯冲脉。此为病者，令人阳缓而阴急。故
曰跷脉者，少阴之别，别于然谷之后，上内踝之上，直上循阴股入阴，上循胸里入缺盆，上出人
迎之前，入鼻，属目内 ，合于太阳。女子以之为经，男子以之为络。两足跷脉长八尺，而阴跷
之在交信，阴跷病者取此。

阳维维于阳，其脉起于诸阳之会，与阴维皆维络于身。若阳不能维于阳，则溶溶不能自收持。
其脉气所发，别于金门，以阳交为 ，与手足太阳及跷脉会于 俞，与手足少阳会于天 ，又会于
肩井。其在头也，与足少阳会于阳白，上于本神及临泣，上至正营，循于脑空，下至风池。其与
督脉会，则在风府及哑门。《难经》云∶阳维为病苦寒热。此阳维脉气所发，凡二十四穴。
金门（足外踝下） 阳交（外踝上） 俞（肩后胛上） 天 （缺盆上） 肩井（肩头上）
阳白（眉上） 本神（眉上） 临泣（眉上） 正营（目窗上） 脑空（缺盆上） 风池（颞
后） 风府（发际） 哑门（风府后）
阴维维于阴，其脉起于诸阴之交。若阴不能维于阴，则怅然失志。其脉所发者，阴维之 ，
名曰筑膑，与足太阴会于腹哀、大横，又与足太阴、厥阴会于府舍、期门，与任脉会于天突、廉
泉。《难经》云∶阴维为病苦心痛。此阴脉所发，凡十二穴。
筑膑（内踝上） 腹哀（日月下） 大横（腹哀下） 府舍（腹结下） 期门（乳下） 天
突（结喉下） 廉泉（结喉上）
阴跷脉，也起于足跟中部，沿着内踝向上行走，到达咽喉部，与冲脉相交贯通。患有此脉病变的人，会导致阳气弛缓而阴气拘急。所以说跷脉是足少阴肾经的别络，从然谷穴后方分出，上行至内踝上方，笔直向上沿大腿内侧进入阴部，再向上沿胸部内部进入缺盆（锁骨上窝），向上出于人迎穴之前，进入鼻部，归属于目内眦，与太阳经相合。女子以此脉作为经脉运行气血，男子以此脉作为络脉联络脏腑。两足的跷脉长度均为八尺，而阴跷脉在交信穴处有特定联系，若患阴跷脉病，应取交信穴治疗。

阳维脉维系着诸阳经，其脉气起始于各阳经交会之处，与阴维脉共同维系联络全身经络。如果阳气不能维系于阳经，患者就会表现为身体软弱无力，无法自我控制。阳维脉的气血发出点，从金门穴分出，以阳交穴为关键节点，与手太阳、足太阳以及跷脉在膈俞穴会合，与手少阳、足少阳在天髎穴会合，又会在肩井穴会合。在头部，它与足少阳胆经会合于阳白穴，上行至本神穴和足临泣穴，再上行至正营穴，循行于脑空穴，下行至风池穴。它与督脉的会合点，则在风府穴和哑门穴。《难经》说：阳维脉患病时，主要症状是恶寒发热。这是阳维脉气血发出的穴位，共有二十四个。
金门穴（位于足外踝下方） 阳交穴（位于外踝上方） 膈俞穴（位于肩后胛骨上方） 天髎穴（位于缺盆上方） 肩井穴（位于肩头上方）
阳白穴（位于眉毛上方） 本神穴（位于眉毛上方） 足临泣穴（位于眉毛上方） 正营穴（位于目窗穴上方） 脑空穴（位于缺盆上方） 风池穴（位于颞部后方） 风府穴（位于发际处） 哑门穴（位于风府穴后方）
阴维脉维系着诸阴经，其脉气起始于各阴经交会之处。如果阴气不能维系于阴经，患者就会表现为心情惆怅、意志消沉。阴维脉气血发出的部位，阴维脉的起点，名叫筑宾穴，与足太阴脾经会合于腹哀穴、大横穴，又与足太阴脾经、足厥阴肝经会合于府舍穴、期门穴，与任脉会合于天突穴、廉泉穴。《难经》说：阴维脉患病时，主要症状是心痛。这是阴维脉气血发出的穴位，共有十二个。
筑宾穴（位于内踝上方） 腹哀穴（位于日月穴下方） 大横穴（位于腹哀穴下方） 府舍穴（位于腹结穴下方） 期门穴（位于乳头下方） 天突穴（位于喉结下方） 廉泉穴（位于喉结上方）
The Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel) also originates from the middle of the heel, travels along the medial malleolus upward to the throat, and intersects with the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). Disease in this vessel causes flaccidity of the Yang aspect and tension of the Yin aspect. Therefore, it is said that the Qiao Mai (Heel Vessels) are branches of the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian (Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin), diverging behind the Ran Gu (KI-2) acupoint, ascending above the medial malleolus, going straight up along the medial thigh into the genital region, then ascending through the chest interior to the Que Pen (Supraclavicular Fossa), emerging anterior to the Ren Ying (ST-9) acupoint, entering the nose, attaching to the inner canthus, and merging with the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channels. In women, this vessel functions as a Jing Mai (Primary Channel); in men, it functions as a Luo Mai (Connecting Vessel). The length of both left and right Qiao Mai vessels is eight chi. For diseases of the Yin Qiao Mai, the Jiao Xin (KI-8) acupoint is indicated.

The Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel) links the Yang channels. Its pathway originates at the convergence of all Yang channels and, together with the Yin Wei Mai, links and connects the entire body. If Yang cannot link the Yang channels, the patient suffers from weakness and inability to control their body. The points where its Qi emerges diverge from Jin Men (BL-63), with Yang Jiao (GB-35) as a key node, meeting the Hand-Taiyang and Foot-Taiyang channels and the Qiao Mai at Ge Shu (BL-17), meeting the Hand-Shaoyang and Foot-Shaoyang channels at Tian Liao (TE-15), and again meeting at Jian Jing (GB-21). In the head, it meets the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder channel at Yang Bai (GB-14), ascends to Ben Shen (GB-13) and Zu Lin Qi (GB-41), continues to Zheng Ying (ST-17), follows Nao Kong (GB-18), and descends to Feng Chi (GB-20). Its intersection with the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) occurs at Feng Fu (DU-16) and Ya Men (DU-15). The Nan Jing states: "Disease of the Yang Wei Mai is characterized by aversion to cold and fever." These are the points where the Yang Wei Mai Qi emerges, totaling twenty-four acupoints.

The Yin Wei Mai (Yin Linking Vessel) links the Yin channels. Its pathway originates at the convergence of all Yin channels. If Yin cannot link the Yin channels, the patient suffers from melancholy and loss of will. The points where the Yin Wei Mai Qi emerges include its starting point, Zhu Bin (KI-9), which meets the Foot-Taiyin Spleen channel at Fu Ai (SP-15) and Da Heng (SP-15), and further meets the Foot-Taiyin Spleen and Foot-Jueyin Liver channels at Fu She (LR-13) and Qi Men (LR-14), and intersects with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) at Tian Tu (CV-22) and Lian Quan (CV-23). The Nan Jing states: "Disease of the Yin Wei Mai is characterized by heart pain." These are the points where the Yin Wei Mai Qi emerges, totaling twelve acupoints.
