少泽穴 手太阳小指之穴，在手指之端外侧，小肠脉起于此穴，止于听宫。
少冲穴 手少阴心经之穴，在手小指内廉去爪甲如韭叶，心脉起于极泉，止于此穴。
关冲穴 手少阳三焦之穴，在手小指次指之外侧，即手第四指之端也，三焦脉起于此穴，止于丝竹空。
中冲穴 手厥阴心包之穴，在手中指之端，包络脉起于天池，止于此穴。
商阳穴 手阳明大肠之穴，在手大指次指之端，大肠脉起于此穴，止于迎香穴。
少商穴 手太阴肺经之穴，在手大指之端，内侧白肉宛宛中，肺脉起于中府，止于此穴。
督脉行于背部正中，共有二十八穴，起始于长强穴。接着是腰俞、阳关，进入命门，经过悬枢。再往上依次是脊中、中枢、筋束、至阳、灵台、神道、身柱、陶道，最后以大椎穴为界。症门之后是风府和脑户，接着是强间、后顶、百会、前顶。囟会位于上星穴上方，神庭则显现出素髎的妙处。水沟穴直达兑端穴没有差错，龈交穴位于唇内可治疗疾病。
督脉的龈交穴在唇内靠近乡部，兑端穴正位于唇端中央，水沟穴在鼻下沟中的索状处，素髎穴宜向鼻端仔细辨认。头部形状北高南低，先以前后发际之间的距离来测量，分为一尺二寸。发际上五分处为神庭穴。发际上一寸处为上星穴，发际上二寸处为囟会穴，发际上前一寸半处为前顶穴（注：原文“三寸半”疑为笔误或特定度量，此处依文意译为前顶），发际上五寸处为百会穴（位于头顶中央旋毛中）。百会后一寸半处为后顶穴，百会后三寸处为强间穴，百会后四寸半处为脑户穴，后发际入内一寸处为风府穴（位于项后发际入内一寸，大筋内的凹陷中，仰头取穴，穴位深入联系舌根），从神庭到此共十个穴位是准确的。自此项骨下的脊柱，分为二十四个椎骨，但大椎上方的项骨有三椎不应计算在内，尾部的长强穴也不计算在内，中间实际可排列推算的是二十一个椎骨。第一椎为大椎骨，第二椎节内为陶道穴，第三椎间为身柱穴，第五椎间为神道穴不必怀疑，第六、七椎分别为灵台、至阳穴，第九椎间为筋束穴，第十椎为中枢穴，第十一椎为脊中穴，第十二椎为悬枢穴，第十四椎与肾俞穴并列，第十六椎即为阳关穴，第二十一椎为腰俞穴，脊尾骨端即为长强穴。
手经起止图
少泽穴：手太阳小肠经的穴位，位于小指外侧末端，小肠经经脉起于此穴，止于听宫穴。
少冲穴：手少阴心经的穴位，位于手小指内侧，距离指甲边缘如韭菜叶宽度处，心经经脉起于极泉穴，止于此穴。
关冲穴：手少阳三焦经的穴位，位于小指与次指（食指）的外侧，即手的第四指（无名指）末端，三焦经经脉起于此穴，止于丝竹空穴。
中冲穴：手厥阴心包经的穴位，位于手中指末端，心包络经脉起于天池穴，止于此穴。
商阳穴：手阳明大肠经的穴位，位于手大指（拇指）与次指（食指）的末端，大肠经经脉起于此穴，止于迎香穴。
少商穴：手太阴肺经的穴位，位于手大指（拇指）末端，内侧白肉纹理凹陷处，肺经经脉起于中府穴，止于此穴。
The Du Meridian (Governing Vessel) runs along the midline of the back, starting with 28 acupoints beginning at Changqiang (GV1). Next are Yaoshu (GV2), Yangguan (GV3), entering Mingmen (GV4), passing through Xianshu (GV5). Continuing upward are Jizhong (GV6), Zhongshu (GV7), Jinshu (GV8), Zhiyang (GV9), Lingtai (GV10), Shendao (GV11), Shenzhu (GV12), and Daodao (GV13), finally stopping at Dazhui (GV14). After Zhengmen (likely referring to Fengfu area or a textual variant, contextually leading to Fengfu), come Fengfu (GV16) and Naohu (GV17), followed by Qiangjian (GV18), Houding (GV19), Baihui (GV20), and Qianding (GV21). Xinhui (GV22) is located above Shangxing (GV23), and Shenting (GV24) reveals the subtlety of Sulu (DU25). Shuigou (GV26) reaches Duanduan (CV15) without error, and Yinjiao (CV23) resides within the lip to treat diseases.
Yinjiao is located inside the lip near the corner; Duanduan is exactly at the center of the lip tip; Shuigou is in the groove below the nose; Sulu should be examined carefully at the nasal tip. The head shape is higher in the north and lower in the south; first measure the distance between the anterior and posterior hairlines, dividing it into one chi and two cun. Five fen above the hairline is Shenting. One cun above the hairline is Shangxing. Two cun above the hairline is Xinhui. Three and a half cun above the hairline is Qianding. Five cun above the hairline is Baihui (located in the central whorl of hair on the vertex). One and a half cun behind Baihui is Houding. Three cun behind Baihui is Qiangjian. Four and a half cun behind Baihui is Naohu. Entering one cun from the posterior hairline is Fengfu (within the depression of the large tendon when the head is tilted back, connecting to the root of the tongue). From Shenting to here, ten acupoints are accurate. From this point, the spine below the occipital bone is divided into twenty-four vertebrae. However, the three vertebrae of the neck above Dazhui should not be counted, nor should Changqiang at the tailbone end. The middle twenty-one vertebrae can be counted sequentially. The first vertebra is the great vertebra (Dazhui); the second intervertebral space contains Daodao; the third intervertebral space has Shenzhu; do not doubt that the fifth intervertebral space has Shendao; the sixth and seventh are Lingtai and Zhiyang respectively; the ninth intervertebral space is Jinshu; the tenth is Zhongshu; the eleventh is Jizhong; the twelfth is Xianshu; the fourteenth coincides with Shenshu; the sixteenth is Yangguan; the twenty-first is Yaoshu; and Changqiang follows at the end of the sacrococcygeal bone.
Diagram of the Starting and Ending Points of the Hand Meridians
Shaoze: An acupoint of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, located at the ulnar side of the tip of the little finger. The Small Intestine Meridian originates at this point and terminates at Tinggong (SI19).
Shaochong: An acupoint of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian, located on the radial side of the tip of the little finger, about the width of a leek leaf from the nail. The Heart Meridian originates at Jiquan (HT1) and terminates at this point.
Guanchong: An acupoint of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao (Triple Burner) Meridian, located on the ulnar side of the ring finger (the fourth finger), which is the tip of the hand's fourth finger. The Sanjiao Meridian originates at this point and terminates at Sizhukong (TE23).
Zhongchong: An acupoint of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, located at the tip of the middle finger. The Pericardium Meridian originates at Tianchi (PC1) and terminates at this point.
Shangyang: An acupoint of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, located at the radial side of the tip of the index finger. The Large Intestine Meridian originates at this point and terminates at Yingxiang (LI20).
Shaoshang: An acupoint of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, located at the radial side of the tip of the thumb, in the depression of the white flesh. The Lung Meridian originates at Zhongfu (LU1) and terminates at this point.
