十五络脉者，十二经之别络而相通焉者也。其三络者，为任督二脉之络，脾之大络，总统阴
阳诸络，灌溉
于脏腑者也。《难经》谓三络为阳跷阴跷二络。愚尝考之，无穴可指，且二跷亦非十四经之正也。
《针灸节要》以为任络曰屏翳，督络曰长强，诚得《十四经发挥》之正理也。加以脾之大络曰大
包，此合十五络也。手太阴经之别络曰列阙，足阳明经之别络曰丰隆。手阳明经之别络曰偏历，
足太阴经之别络曰公孙。手少阴经之别络曰通里，足太阳经之别络曰飞扬。手太阳经之别络曰支
正，足少阴经之别络曰大钟。手厥阴经之别络曰内关，足少阳经之别络曰光明。手少阳经之别络
曰外关，足厥阴经之别络曰蠡沟。任脉之别络曰屏翳，脾经之大络曰大包，督脉之别络曰长强。
任脉者，为奇经八脉之一脉也。起于中极之下，以上毛际，循腹里上关元，至喉咙。属阴脉
之海也。任与督二脉，为人身阴阳之纲领，一源而二歧，犹太极而生两仪也。督则由会阴而行背，
任则由会阴而行腹。夫人身之有任督，由天地之有子午也；人身之任督以腹背言，天地之子午以
南北言，可以分可以合者也。分之以见阴阳之不杂，合之以见浑沦之无间，一而二，二而一者也。
谓任脉为阴脉之海者，以其总诸阴脉之会也，故曰阴脉之海，行腹中行。凡二十四穴。
会阴（一名屏翳） 在两阴间，任督冲三脉所起。任由会阴而行腹，督由会阴而行
背，冲由会阴而行足少阴。禁针，灸三壮。
【主治】阴汗阴中痛，诸病前后相引，不得大小便，谷道病久痔相通，女子阴门痛经不通。
曲骨 在横骨上，中极下一寸毛际陷中动脉应手。足厥阴任脉之会。针一寸，灸七壮。
【主治】小腹满小便淋， 疝小腹痛，失精虚冷，妇人赤白带下。

关元 在脐下三寸。小肠之募，足三阴任脉之会。针八分，灸七壮。
足厥阴肝经共有十三个穴位，分别是：大敦、行间、太冲、列缺（注：原文此处“列”字疑为衍文或排版错误，结合上下文及经络循行，应为太冲之后接续穴位，但歌诀中未列出后续特定穴名，仅以“列”字收尾，此处依原文直译）、中封、蠡沟、中都、膝关、曲泉、膝内辄（注：此名非标准经穴名，疑指膝关附近或为误写，依原文保留）、阴包、五里、上阴廉、章门、期门，这些穴位贯穿横膈膜以上。
大敦穴位于大拇指指甲角外侧毛发聚集处；行间穴位于脚趾缝尖端动脉搏动处；太冲穴后方有络脉横跨五个会合点，太冲脉可作为依据来承接和判断；中封穴正位于内踝前方；蠡沟穴在内踝上方五寸处；中都穴位于复溜穴的宫位（即小腿内侧）；阴陵泉穴位于膝盖内侧尖端的两个凹陷中间；内踝上方两寸处仔细寻找，与少阴经相对，在冲骨之中；膝关穴位于犊鼻穴下方两寸；曲泉穴位于膝关节屈曲时腘窝横纹头两筋之间；阴包穴位于膝盖髌骨上方四寸，在大腿内侧筋间寻找其位置；五里穴位于气冲穴内侧一寸半，向下三寸沿大腿内侧走向；阴廉穴位于腹股沟横纹跨部；章门穴位于脐上两寸量取；横向测量八寸看身体两侧，期门穴位于乳头旁各一寸，向下两寸第二肋间隙仔细寻取，这就是足厥阴肝经的所在。
十五络脉，是十二经脉的别络并且相互连通的。那三条特殊的络脉，是指任脉和督脉的络脉，以及脾脏的大络，它们统率着阴阳诸络，向脏腑灌溉气血。《难经》称这三条络脉为阳跷脉和阴跷脉的络脉。我曾经考证过，没有具体的穴位可以指认，而且这两条跷脉也不属于十四正经。《针灸节要》认为任脉的络穴叫屏翳，督脉的络穴叫长强，这确实符合《十四经发挥》的正理。再加上脾经的大络叫大包，这就合成了十五络。手太阴肺经的别络叫列缺，足阳明胃经的别络叫丰隆。手阳明大肠经的别络叫偏历，足太阴脾经的别络叫公孙。手少阴心经的别络叫通里，足太阳膀胱经的别络叫飞扬。手太阳小肠经的别络叫支正，足少阴肾经的别络叫大钟。手厥阴心包经的别络叫内关，足少阳胆经的别络叫光明。手少阳三焦经的别络叫外关，足厥阴肝经的别络叫蠡沟。任脉的别络叫屏翳，脾经的大络叫大包，督脉的别络叫长强。
任脉，是奇经八脉中的一条经脉。它起于中极穴之下，向上经过阴毛际，沿着腹部内部上行至关元穴，到达喉咙。它归属于阴脉之海。任脉和督脉，是人体阴阳的纲领，同源而分两支，就像太极生出两仪一样。督脉从会阴穴行于背部，任脉从会阴穴行于腹部。人体有任督二脉，就像天地有子午线一样；人体的任督是从腹背来说的，天地的子午是从南北来说的，它们既可以分开也可以合并。分开来看是为了显示阴阳不混杂，合并来看是为了显示浑然一体没有间隙，是一分为二、二合为一的关系。称任脉为阴脉之海，是因为它总汇了所有阴脉，所以称为阴脉之海，行走在身体前正中线。共有二十四个穴位。
会阴穴（又名屏翳），位于前后阴之间，是任脉、督脉、冲脉三条经脉起始的地方。任脉由会阴行于腹部，督脉由会阴行于背部，冲脉由会阴行于足少阴经方向。禁止针刺，可灸三壮。
【主治】阴部出汗、阴中疼痛，各种病症前后牵引不适，大小便不通，肛门疾病日久导致痔疮相通，女子阴门痛经、经血不通。
曲骨穴，位于横骨之上，中极穴下一寸，阴毛际陷中的动脉处，按之应手。是足厥阴肝经与任脉的交会穴。针刺一寸，灸七壮。
【主治】小腹胀满、小便淋漓不尽，疝气小腹疼痛，遗精虚冷，妇人赤白带下。
中极穴（又名玉泉、气原），位于关元穴下一寸，脐下四寸。是膀胱的募穴，足三阴经与任脉的交会穴。针刺八分，灸一百壮。
【主治】冷气积聚时常上冲心胸，遗精无子，腹中脐下结块，奔豚疝瘕，妇人产后恶露不行，胎衣不下，月经不调，血积成块，子门肿痛，转脬导致小便不得排出。
The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian has thirteen acupoints: Dadun (Dàdūn, Greatfulfillment), Xingjian (Xíngjiàn, Moving Between), Taichong (Tàichōng, Great Surge), Lieque (Lièquē, Broken Valley - *Note: Text says "Lie", likely referring to Lieque or a typo in original context, but standard Liver meridian does not include Lieque. Translating literally as per source*), Zhongfeng (Zhōngfēng, Central Seal), Ligou (Lígōu, Worm Channel), Zhongdu (Zhōngdū, Central Capital), Xiguan (Xīguān, Knee Pass), Ququan (Qǔquán, Curling Spring), Xinneizhe (*Note: Non-standard name, retained as is*), Yinbao (Yīnbāo, Yin Wrap), Wuli (Wǔlǐ, Five Miles), Shangyinlian (Shàngyīnlián, Upper Yin Tightness), Zhangmen (Zhāngmén, Gate of Chapter), and Qimen (Qīmén, Door of Hope), which penetrate through the diaphragm upwards.
Dadun is located at the lateral corner of the big toe where hair gathers; Xingjian is at the tip of the interdigital space where the artery beats; behind Taichong, there is a collateral vessel spanning five convergence points, and the Taichong pulse can serve as a basis for judgment; Zhongfeng is directly anterior to the medial malleolus; Ligou is five cun above the medial malleolus; Zhongdu is located in the region of Fuliu (Fùliú, Abundant Stream); Yinlingquan (Yínlíngquán, Yin Nourishing Spring) is located in the two depressions at the medial condyle of the tibia; carefully search two cun above the medial malleolus, opposite the Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian, within the Chong bone; Xiguan is two cun below Dubi (Dúbí, Lone Peak); Ququan is found between the two tendons at the head of the popliteal crease when the knee is flexed; Yinbao is four cun above the patella, seek its position between the tendons on the medial aspect of the thigh; Wuli is one and half cun medial to Qichong (Qìchōng, Qi Rush), descending three cun along the medial thigh; Yinlian is located at the inguinal crease; Zhangmen is measured two cun above the umbilicus; measure eight cun horizontally to look at both sides, Qimen is one cun lateral to each nipple, descend two cun to the second intercostal space carefully, this is the location of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian.
The fifteen collaterals are the divergent collaterals of the twelve meridians that connect with each other. The three special collaterals refer to the collaterals of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Du Mai (Governing Vessel), and the large collateral of the Spleen; they command all yin and yang collaterals and irrigate the Zang-Fu organs. The *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) refers to these three collaterals as those of the Yang Qiao and Yin Qiao vessels. I have examined them and found no specific acupoints to point to, nor are these two Qiao vessels part of the fourteen regular meridians. The *Zhenjiu Jieyao* (Essentials of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) considers the Ren collateral to be Pingyi (Píngyì, Screen Shade) and the Du collateral to be Changqiang (Chángqiáng, Long Strength), which indeed aligns with the correct principles of the *Shisi Jing Fahui* (Elucidation of the Fourteen Meridians). Adding the large collateral of the Spleen named Dabao (Dàbāo, Great包裹), this completes the fifteen collaterals. The divergent collateral of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian is Lieque; that of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian is Fenglong (Fēnglóng, Windful); that of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian is Pianli (Piānlì, Oblique Benefit); that of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian is Gongsun (Gōngsūn, Duke Sun); that of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian is Tongli (Tōnglǐ, Connecting Interior); that of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian is Feiyang (Fēiyáng, Flying Yang); that of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian is Zhengzheng (Zhīzhèng, Branching Correctness); that of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is Dazhong (Dàzhōng, Great Bell); that of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is Neiguan (Nèiguān, Inner Pass); that of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian is Guangming (Guāngmíng, Bright Light); that of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian is Waiguan (Wàiguān, Outer Pass); that of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian is Ligou. The divergent collateral of the Ren Mai is Pingyi, the large collateral of the Spleen Meridian is Dabao, and the divergent collateral of the Du Mai is Changqiang.
The Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) is one of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. It originates below the Zhongji acupoint, ascends to the pubic hairline, follows the interior of the abdomen up to Guanyuan, and reaches the throat. It belongs to the Sea of Yin Meridians. The Ren and Du meridians are the guidelines of yin and yang in the human body, originating from one source but branching into two, just as Taiji generates Liangyi (Two Modes). The Du Meridian travels along the back from Huiyin, while the Ren Meridian travels along the abdomen from Huiyin. The existence of Ren and Du in the human body is analogous to Zi and Wu (North and South) in heaven and earth; the Ren and Du are discussed in terms of abdomen and back, while Zi and Wu are discussed in terms of north and south; they can be separated or combined. Separated, they show that yin and yang do not mix; combined, they show seamless unity; they are one becoming two, and two becoming one. Calling the Ren Meridian the "Sea of Yin Meridians" is because it gathers all yin meridians; thus it is called the Sea of Yin Meridians and runs along the midline of the front of the body. There are twenty-four acupoints in total.
Huiyin (also known as Pingyi), located between the anus and genitals, is the origin of the Ren, Du, and Chong (Penetrating) meridians. The Ren Meridian proceeds from Huiyin along the abdomen, the Du Meridian from Huiyin along the back, and the Chong Meridian from Huiyin along the Foot-Shaoyin direction. Needling is prohibited; moxibustion of three moxa cones is applied.

Zhongji (also known as Yuquan, Qiyuan), located one cun below Guanyuan, four cun below the umbilicus. It is the Front-Mu point of the Bladder and the meeting point of the Foot-Taiyin, Foot-Shaoyin, Foot-Jueyin meridians and the Ren Meridian. Needle eight fen, moxibustion one hundred cones.
