经曰∶肾者，作强之官，伎巧出焉。肾者主蛰，封藏之本，精之处也。其华在发，其充在骨，
为阴中之少阴，通于冬气。
北方黑色，通入于肾，开窍于二阴，藏精于肾，故病在溪。其味咸，其类水，其畜彘，其应
四时，上为辰星，是以知病之在骨也。其音羽，其数六，其臭腐，其液唾，其色黑。北方生寒，
寒生水，水生咸，咸生肾，肾生骨髓。其在天为寒，在地为水，在体为骨，在藏为肾，在色为黑，
在音为羽，在声为呻，在变动为栗，在窍为耳，在味为咸，在志为恐。恐伤肾，思胜恐。寒伤血，
湿胜寒。咸伤血，甘胜咸。肾开窍于耳，耳和则闻五音矣。

《肾脏图》
经典记载说：肾，是负责强力工作的官员，技巧和智慧由此产生。肾主蛰伏（潜藏），是封藏的根本，也是精气汇聚的地方。肾的精气荣华显露于头发，充养于骨骼，属于阴中的少阴，与冬季的气候相通。
北方对应黑色，气机通入肾脏，开窍于前阴和后阴，精气储藏于肾，所以病变常发生在溪谷（肌肉间隙）。其味为咸，五行属性属水，对应的家畜是猪，与四季相应，在天上的星象对应辰星（水星），因此可以知道疾病在骨。其音律为羽，成数为六，气味为腐臭，体液为唾，颜色为黑。北方产生寒，寒生水，水生咸味，咸味生肾，肾生骨髓。在天为寒，在地为水，在形体为骨，在脏腑为肾，在颜色为黑，在音律为羽，在声音为呻吟，在变动表现为战栗，在窍窍为耳，在味道为咸，在情志为恐。恐惧损伤肾，思虑胜过恐惧。寒邪损伤血，湿气胜过寒邪。咸味损伤血，甘味胜过咸味。肾开窍于耳，耳功能调和就能听到五音。
足少阴肾经起于足小趾之下，斜向足心，出于然谷穴之下，沿内踝后方，分支进入脚跟。上行至小腿肚内侧，出于内踝内侧缘，上行至大腿内侧后缘，贯穿脊柱，归属于肾，联络膀胱。其直行经脉，从肾上行，贯穿肝和膈肌，进入肺中，沿喉咙，系连舌根。其分支，从肺分出，联络心脏，注入胸中。
涌泉穴（又名地冲）位于足心凹陷处，屈足卷趾时宛宛之中，跪姿取穴。这是足少阴脉所出的井穴，五行属木。针刺五分，艾灸三壮。
【主治】尸厥（突然昏倒不省人事），面色黑如炭灰，气喘呕吐带血，眼睛视物模糊看不清，容易惊恐、咽喉肿痛，痢疾、小腹急痛，泄泻伴有里急后重，足胫部堵塞感，颈部疼痛、头晕目眩，转胞导致无法排尿，霍乱伴转筋，肾积奔豚病，热厥。
然谷穴（又名龙渊）位于足内踝前下方大骨下的凹陷中。另一种说法是在内踝前下方一寸，别于太阴经和跷脉之处，这是足少阴脉所流的荥穴，五行属火。针刺三分，艾灸三壮。
"Diagram of the Kidney"
The Classics state: The Kidney is the official responsible for strength and vigor, from which skills and ingenuity emerge. The Kidney governs hibernation (quiescence), serving as the root of storage and conservation, and is the residence of essence (Jing). Its luster manifests in the hair, it nourishes the bones, it is the Shaoyin within Yin, and communicates with the Qi of Winter.
The North corresponds to black; its Qi enters the Kidney, opens into the two yin passages (anterior and posterior orifices), stores essence in the Kidney, therefore diseases manifest in the xigu (valleys between muscles). Its flavor is salty, its element is Water, its associated domestic animal is the pig, it corresponds to the four seasons, and above it corresponds to Chenxing (Mercury); thus, one knows that disease resides in the bones. Its musical note is Yu, its number is six, its odor is putrid, its fluid is saliva, and its color is black. The North generates Cold; Cold generates Water; Water generates Salty flavor; Salty flavor generates the Kidney; the Kidney generates bone marrow. In Heaven it is Cold, on Earth it is Water, in the body it is Bone, in the zang organs it is the Kidney, in color it is Black, in sound it is Yu, in vocalization it is groaning, in pathological change it is trembling, in the orifice it is the Ear, in flavor it is Salty, and in emotion it is Fear. Fear injures the Kidney; Thought overcomes Fear. Cold injures Blood; Dampness overcomes Cold. Salty flavor injures Blood; Sweet flavor overcomes Salty flavor. The Kidney opens into the Ear; when the Ear is harmonious, one can hear the five tones.
The Foot-Shaoyin Meridian of Foot-Taiyin begins below the little toe, slants toward the center of the foot, emerges below the Ran Gu point, follows behind the medial malleolus, and branches into the heel. It ascends along the medial aspect of the lower leg, emerges at the medial margin of the medial malleolus, ascends along the posterior medial margin of the thigh, penetrates the spine, connects with the Kidney, and links with the Bladder. The straight branch ascends from the Kidney, passes through the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lung, follows the throat, and attaches to the root of the tongue. The branch emerges from the Lung, connects with the Heart, and pours into the chest.
Yongquan (KI 1, also known as Dichong) is located in the depression in the center of the sole of the foot, in the hollow formed when the toes are curled; it is taken in a kneeling position. This is the Jing-Well point of the Foot-Shaoyin Meridian, belonging to Wood. Needle 5 fen, moxibustion 3 moxa cones.
[Indications] Shijue (corpse-like coma), face black as charcoal, wheezing and vomiting blood, vision blurred or unable to see, frequent fear, sore throat, dysentery, acute pain in the lower abdomen, diarrhea with tenesmus, sensation of blockage in the shins, neck pain, dizziness, "Zhuanbao" (bladder distension leading to urinary retention), cholera with muscle spasms, Renji Ben tun (Kidney accumulation with rushing gas), and Re jue (heat collapse).
Rangu (KI 2, also known as Longyuan) is located in the depression below the large bone anterior to the medial malleolus. Another description places it 1 cun below the anterior aspect of the medial malleolus, distinct from the Taiyin and Chong meridians. This is the Ying-Spring point of the Foot-Shaoyin Meridian, belonging to Fire. Needle 3 fen, moxibustion 3 moxa cones.
