辨认穴位首先要找准鼻子的正中位置,向上进入发际线三寸处,分别是神庭穴(进入发际五分)和上星穴(进入发际一寸),再向上五寸是百会穴(这三个穴位都在督脉上)。天突穴位于结喉下方两寸的凹陷中。脘穴分为上、中、下三脘,以脐部为基准进行测量:上脘距脐五寸,中脘距脐四寸,下脘距脐二寸,取穴时不要模糊不清。气海穴在脐下一寸半处,关元穴(即丹田)在两腿股内侧各三寸处,再向下加一寸是中极穴,这是任脉的最下端(这七个穴位都属于任脉)。
身体左右两侧共有临泣穴,从足少阳胆经的角度看,从目内眦直上进入发际五十厘处;客主人穴在足少阳胆经,位于耳前骨处,张口即可感到空虚从而确认位置。期门穴属足厥阴肝经,位于乳头下方第二肋骨端,触摸疼痛的骨头末端即可找到。天枢穴属足阳明胃经,以脐部为标准,向两旁各开二寸。肩井穴在肩端两骨之间的缝隙中;曲池穴在肘弯横纹尖端尽头处,必须屈手按胸才能看到横纹尖端的曲池穴。曲池穴下方二寸锐肉端头处是手三里穴(这三个穴位都属于手阳明大肠经,曲池与手三里相距二寸)。正坐垂手时,在大腿外侧中间,中指尖触及之处是风市穴(属足少阳胆经)。内庭穴(属足阳明胃经)位于两足次趾与第三趾歧骨间的凹陷中。大脚趾与次脚趾活动中间的缝隙是行间穴,需要牢记。若在大脚趾甲角如韭菜叶宽处,从三毛(趾毛)中大敦穴(这两个穴位都属于足厥阴肝经)可以确定。
大椎以上有两块骨头构成颈部,大椎穴自项骨算起,当第三颈椎下方;大椎以下为脊柱第一椎,第三节下方名为身柱穴,第十四节下方为命门穴(这三个穴位都属于督脉)。风池穴属足少阳胆经,位于耳后一寸半的凹陷中,按压时会牵引耳朵内部,以此确认真实位置。肺俞穴在两肩胛骨缝中,脾俞和肾俞穴(这三个穴位都属于足太阳膀胱经)在脊骨两旁各开二寸处,第三椎下为肺俞,第十一椎下为脾俞,第十四椎下为肾俞。第四椎节下方称为膏肓穴(属足太阳膀胱经),在脊骨两旁各开三寸五分处。环跳穴(音条,属足少阳胆经)正好在髀枢(胯关节)处,务必侧身躺在床上,伸直下方的腿,弯曲上方的腿,这样取穴才能识别其位置。尻骨(尾骨)两边各开二寸处,询问可知穴名曰会阳穴(属足太阳膀胱经)。膝下三寸外廉畔是足三里穴(属足阳明胃经),与手部穴位不同,手掌按住膝盖,中指尖尽头处即是,这是教导人们辨认穴位的精确方法。
取穴度量寸法折衷于男女手指中指的第一、第二节,这两节之间的距离即为“一寸”。按照穴位治病,针刺没有不痊愈的。此方自从范毓之后,王大德、沈士元、周雍和等人皆使用它,确实给予人们容易遵循的方法,千万不要因为它浅显近便而忽视它。此法及诗,自古今医诗集中录出。刘国光识。
To identify acupoints, one must first accurately locate the midline of the nose. Moving upward into the hairline by three cun, we find Shenting (Shenting, GV24) located five fen into the hairline, Shangxing (Shangxing, GV23) located one cun into the hairline, and Baihui (Baihui, GV20) located five cun above, all situated on the Du Meridian (Governing Vessel). Tiantu (Tiantu, CV22) is located in the depression two cun below the laryngeal prominence. The Wan points are divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Wan, measured relative to the umbilicus: Shangwan (Upper Stomach, CV13) is five cun above the umbilicus, Zhongwan (Middle Stomach, CV12) is four cun above, and Xiawan (Lower Stomach, CV10) is two cun above; precision is required in locating these. Qihai (Sea of Qi, CV6) is located approximately one and a half cun below the umbilicus. Guanyuan (Gate of Origin, CV4), also known as the Dantian (Elixir Field), is located three cun inward from the medial aspect of each thigh. One cun further down is Zhongji (Central Pole, CV3), which marks the lower end of the Ren Meridian (Conception Vessel); these seven points belong to the Ren Meridian.
On both sides of the body, there is Linqi (likely referring to Zanzhu or similar lateral head points, though text implies Gallbladder channel context). From the perspective of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, moving straight up from the inner canthus into the hairline by fifty li, we encounter Kerenren (Guest Master, GB7), located anterior to the ear on the bone; opening the mouth reveals a hollow space for confirmation. Qimen (Gate of Period, LR14), belonging to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian, is located at the end of the second rib below the nipple, identifiable by palpating the painful bony tip. Tianshu (Heavenly Pivot, ST25), belonging to the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, is located two cun lateral to the umbilicus. Jianjing (Shoulder Well, GB21) is found in the gap between the two bones at the shoulder apex. Quchi (Pool at the Curve, LI11) is at the outer end of the transverse cubital crease when the elbow is flexed and the hand presses against the chest; this position reveals the curve's tip. Two cun distal to Quchi, at the edge of the sharp muscle, is Shousanli (Hand Three Li, LI10); these three points (Quchi, Shousanli, and implicitly Hegu or nearby) belong to the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. When sitting upright with arms hanging down, the point where the tip of the middle finger touches the lateral aspect of the thigh is Fengshi (Wind Market, GB31), belonging to the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Neiting (Inner Court, ST44), belonging to the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, is located in the depression between the second and third toes. Xingjian (Moving Between, LR2) is located in the webbing between the big toe and the second toe and must be memorized. Dadun (Great Mound, LR1) is located at the corner of the nail on the big toe, near the hair, belonging to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian.
Above Dazhui (Great Vertebra, GV14), two bones form the neck. Counting from the nape, Dazhui corresponds to the third cervical vertebra. Below Dazhui is the first thoracic vertebra. Shen Zhu (Body Pillar, GV12) is located below the third thoracic vertebra. Mingmen (Gate of Life, GV4) is located below the fourth lumbar vertebra (text says 14th segment, traditionally L4); these three points belong to the Du Meridian. Fengchi (Wind Pool, GB20), belonging to the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, is located in the depression one and a half cun behind the ear; pressing it induces sensation in the ear for confirmation. Feishu (Lung Shu, BL13), Pishu (Spleen Shu, BL20), and Shenshu (Kidney Shu, BL23) belong to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. They are located two cun lateral to the spine. Feishu is below the third thoracic vertebra, Pishu below the eleventh, and Shenshu below the fourteenth. Gaohuang (Scapular Yellow, BL43) is located below the fourth thoracic vertebra, three cun and five fen lateral to the spine, belonging to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Huantiao (Jump Ring, GB30) is located at the hip joint (bi shu). To locate it, lie on one side, extend the lower leg, and flex the upper leg. Huiyang (Meeting Yang, BL35) is located two cun lateral to the coccyx, belonging to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Zusanli (Leg Three Li, ST36) is located three cun below the knee cap on the lateral side, belonging to the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. To measure this, press the palm on the knee cap until the tip of the middle finger reaches the point. This is a precise method for teaching point identification.
The measurement of cun for acupoints is standardized using the middle finger of men on the left and women on the right; the distance between the first and second interphalangeal joints of the middle finger constitutes one cun. Treating diseases according to acupoints ensures that acupuncture will invariably cure. Since Fan Yu, practitioners such as Wang Dede, Shen Shiyuan, and Zhou Yonghe have used this method, making it easy for others to follow. Do not neglect it because it appears simple or superficial. This method and poem were extracted from ancient and modern medical poetry collections. Recorded by Liu Guoguang.
