足少阴肾经图
足少阴肾经的经脉,起于足小趾之下,斜行走向足心(即涌泉穴),出于然谷穴下方(然谷穴位于内踝前),经过踝后部(即太溪穴),分支进入脚跟,向上沿小腿内侧后缘,出于膝窝内侧(即阴谷穴),沿大腿内侧后缘,贯穿脊柱,归属于肾脏,联络膀胱。其直行者,从肾脏上行,贯穿肝脏和膈肌,进入肺部,沿着喉咙,夹持舌根。其分支,从肺部出来,联络心脏,注入胸中。
足少阴肾经的气血特点是血少气多。本经发生变动时会出现病症:感觉饥饿但不想进食,面色黑得像炭色,咳嗽吐痰时带有血液,喉间有鸣音且气喘,想要起身却无力行动,眼睛昏花视物不清,心中空虚感如同悬挂之物,又像饥饿的感觉。若经气不足,则容易恐惧,心神不安,好像有人将要抓捕自己一样,这称为“骨厥”。本经主治肾脏所发生的疾病:口热舌干,咽喉肿痛,气逆上冲,咽干及疼痛,心烦,心痛,黄疸,肠鸣泄泻,脊背和大腿内侧后缘疼痛,痿证、厥冷、嗜睡,足底发热而痛。

Figure of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian
The Kidney meridian originates below the little toe, enters the Stomach, and then enters the Pericardium.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian originates below the little toe of the foot, slants towards the center of the sole (Yongquan, KI1), emerges below RanGu (KI2, located anterior to the medial malleolus), passes behind the ankle (Taixi, KI3), branches into the heel, ascends along the posterior aspect of the medial leg, emerges at the medial aspect of the popliteal fossa (Yingu, KI10), ascends along the posterior medial aspect of the thigh, pierces the spine, connects with the Kidneys, and links with the Bladder. The straight branch ascends from the Kidneys, passes through the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lungs, follows the throat, and flanks the root of the tongue. The branch emerging from the Lungs connects with the Heart and pours into the chest.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian is characterized by deficient Blood and abundant Qi. When this meridian undergoes pathological changes, the following disorders occur: a sensation of hunger without desire to eat, complexion as dark as charcoal, hemoptysis (coughing up blood) during coughing and expectoration, wheezing and asthma in the throat, a desire to rise but inability to do so, blurred vision as if unable to see, a feeling of emptiness in the heart as if suspended, resembling hunger. If Qi is deficient, there is excessive fear; the mind is restless and apprehensive, as if someone were about to capture it. This is termed "Bone Jue" (Bone Reversal). This meridian governs diseases generated by the Kidneys: heat in the mouth and dryness of the tongue, swelling and obstruction in the throat, upward rushing of Qi, dryness and pain in the pharynx, vexation in the heart, heart pain, jaundice, intestinal rumbling and diarrhea, pain along the posterior medial aspect of the spine and thigh, flaccidity syndrome, reversal cold, lethargy, heat and pain in the soles of the feet.
Figure of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian
The Pericardium meridian originates in the chest, follows the path between the little finger and the ring finger, ending at its tip, and pours into the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) meridian.
The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Collateral meridian originates in the chest, emerges and connects with the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and successively links with the Upper, Middle, and Lower Sanjiao (Triple Burners). Its branch follows the chest, emerges from the hypochondrium, descends three cun below the axilla, ascends to reach the axilla, descends along the medial aspect of the upper arm, running between the Hand-Taiyin Lung meridian and the Hand-Shaoyin Heart meridian (the Hand-Taiyin is superior, the Hand-Shaoyin is inferior, and the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium is in the middle), enters the elbow center (Quze, PC3), descends along the forearm between two tendons (Neiguan/Laogong pathway context, specifically Laogong is palm, Neiguan is wrist; text says Laogong here for palm entry, but anatomically Neiguan is between tendons. Text says: "between two tendons (Laogong acupoint)" - Note: Anatomically Laogong is in palm, Neiguan is between tendons. I will translate strictly according to text provided: "between two tendons (Laogong acupoint)"), enters the center of the palm (Laogong, PC8), follows the middle finger to its tip (Zhongchong, PC9). Another branch separates from the palm, follows the space between the little finger and the ring finger, and emerges at its tip (connecting with the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian).
The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Collateral meridian is characterized by abundant Blood and deficient Qi. When this meridian undergoes pathological changes, the following disorders occur: heat in the palms, spasm and stiffness of the elbows and arms, swelling in the axillae, and in severe cases, distension and fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, internal heat sensation in the heart like fire moving, redness of the facial complexion, excessive laughter, and yellowing of the eyes. This meridian governs diseases generated by the Pericardium meridian: vexation in the heart, heart pain, and heat in the palms.
