少阴肾经共有二十七个穴位,分别是:涌泉、然谷、太溪、大钟、照海、通水泉(即水泉)、复溜、交信、筑宾、横骨、大赫、气穴、四满、中注、肓俞、商曲、石关、阴都、通谷、幽门、步廊、神封、灵墟、神藏、或中、俞府。
足掌心的凹陷处是涌泉穴;然谷穴位于内踝前下方一寸处;太溪穴位于内踝后方、跟骨上方的凹陷处;大钟穴位于足跟后侧踵骨中间偏外侧(即足跟后踵骨中,大骨上两筋之间的门状凹陷处);水泉穴在太溪穴直下一寸处寻找;照海穴位于内踝下方四寸处;复溜穴位于内踝前方上方二寸处;交信穴位于内踝上方二寸处,这两个穴位之间仅隔一条肌腱(复溜穴在前旁骨处,交信穴在后旁骨处,两穴之间只隔着一条筋);筑宾穴位于内踝上方五寸处;阴谷穴位于膝下弯曲膝盖的凹陷间;横骨、大赫、气穴、四满、中注这几个穴位彼此相连,它们距离人体正中线各一寸半,上下相邻穴位间距为一寸。向上与盲俞穴相隔也是一寸,肓俞穴位于脐旁半寸处;从肓俞、商曲、石关到阴都、通谷、幽门,这些穴位距离正中线各五分,这六个穴位上下相邻间距为一寸。步廊、神封、灵墟、神藏、或中、俞府这六个穴位,距离正中线均为二寸,上下相邻间距为六分(原文“寸六”疑为笔误或特定度量,通常指六分或一寸六分,此处依文意译为上下间距),这六个穴位相同。俞府穴位于璇玑穴旁开二寸处,取穴方法得当便能取得疗效。
马玄台说:阴都穴位于中脘穴旁开五分;通谷穴位于上脘穴旁开五分;幽门穴位于巨阙穴旁开各五分。又按:从下方的横骨、大赫、气穴、四满、中注来看,上下各相距一寸,所以说横骨在肓俞下五寸,是有依据的。但是,从横骨到中注,这些穴位距离正中线各一寸半;而肓俞、商曲、石关、阴都、通谷、幽门,距离正中线各五分;从步廊、神封、灵墟、神藏、或中、俞府,距离正中线各二寸,其曲折排列情况就是如此。《徐氏针灸书》都用两行来描述,这是错误的。(注:巨阙是任脉上的穴位名)
The Shaoyin Kidney Meridian has twenty-seven acupoints: Yongquan (KI1), RanGu (KI2), Taixi (KI3), Dazhong (KI4), Zhaohai (KI6), Shuiquan (KI5), Fuliu (KI7), Jiaoxin (KI8), Zubin (KI9), Henggu (KI10), Dahe (KI11), Qixue (KI12), Siman (KI13), Zhongzhu (KI14), Huangshu (KI15), Shangqu (KI16), Shiguan (KI17), Yindu (KI18), Tonggu (KI19), Youmen (KI20), Bulang (KI21), Shenfeng (KI22), Lingxu (KI23), Shencang (KI24), Huozhong (KI25), and Yufo (KI26). Note: The text lists 27 points but the song omits or combines some; standard count includes these. *Correction based on text*: The text lists specific names. I will translate the names as listed.
The depression in the center of the sole is Yongquan (KI1, "Springing Well"). RanGu (KI2, "Natural Valley") is located one cun anterior to the medial malleolus. Taixi (KI3, "Great Stream") is located posterior to the medial malleolus, above the calcaneus. Dazhong (KI4, "Great Bell") is located at the posterior aspect of the heel, in the middle of the calcaneus, between the two tendons above the large bone (the gate-like depression). Shuiquan (KI5, "Water Spring") is found one cun directly below Taixi. Zhaohai (KI6, "Connecting Sea") is truly located four cun below the medial malleolus. Fuliu (KI7, "Returning Flow") is two cun anterior and superior to the medial malleolus. Jiaoxin (KI8, "Connecting Signal") is two cun superior to the medial malleolus. These two points are separated only by a tendon (Fuliu is beside the anterior bone, Jiaoxin is beside the posterior bone, with only one tendon separating them). Zubin (KI9, "Building Guest") is located five cun superior to the medial malleolus. YinGu (KI10, "Yin Valley") is located in the depression behind the knee when it is flexed. Henggu (KI10, "Horizontal Bone"), Dahe (KI11, "Great Harmony"), Qixue (KI12, "Qi Gate"), Siman (KI13, "Four Fullnesses"), and Zhongzhu (KI14, "Middle Injection") are connected. They are each located one and a half cun lateral to the midline, with one cun distance between adjacent points vertically. The distance upward to Huangshu (KI15, "Blind Bore") is also one cun. Huangshu is located half a cun lateral to the umbilicus. From Huangshu, Shangqu (KI16, "Upper Curve"), Shiguan (KI17, "Stone Gate"), Yindu (KI18, "Yin Palace"), Tonggu (KI19, "Connecting Valley"), and Youmen (KI20, "Yin Door"), they are each located five fen lateral to the midline, with one cun distance between adjacent points vertically. Bulang (KI21, "Step Corridor"), Shenfeng (KI22, "Spirit Enclosure"), Lingxu (KI23, "Spiritual Void"), Shencang (KI24, "Spirit Storage"), Huozhong (KI25, "Or Middle"), and Yufo (KI26, "Yu Mansion") are each located two cun lateral to the midline, with six fen (or one cun six fen, depending on interpretation of 'cun liu') distance between adjacent points. Yufo is located two cun lateral to Xuanji (CV15); correct needle placement yields success.
Ma Xuantai stated: Yindu (KI18) is five fen lateral to Zhongwan (CV12). Tonggu (KI19) is five fen lateral to Shangwan (CV13). Youmen (KI20) is five fen lateral to Juque (CV14). Furthermore, regarding the lower points from Henggu (KI10), Dahe (KI11), Qixue (KI12), Siman (KI13), to Zhongzhu (KI14), they are spaced one cun apart vertically. Thus, Henggu is five cun below Huangshu (KI15), which is justified. However, from Henggu to Zhongzhu, they are each one and a half cun lateral to the midline. Huangshu, Shangqu, Shiguan, Yindu, Tonggu, and Youmen are each five fen lateral to the midline. Bulang, Shenfeng, Lingxu, Shencang, Huozhong, and Yufo are each two cun lateral to the midline. Their curved arrangement is thus. The *Xu's Acupuncture Book* describes them in two rows, which is erroneous. (Note: Juque is an acupoint name on the Ren Mai meridian).
