足厥阴肝经的经脉起始于足大趾丛毛之上(足大趾爪甲后方为三毛,三毛后的横纹处称为聚毛,此处是大敦穴),沿着足背向上(经过上廉部位),在内踝前一寸处(“去”意为离开,此处为中封穴的分界),上行至内踝上三寸处(此处为三阴交穴的分界),从足太阴脾经之后穿出,沿大腿内侧前缘上行(此处为曲泉穴的分界,屈膝可得,位于膝关节横纹头端),沿大腿进入阴部(大腿肌肉称为股,阴部如包络等穴位所在,阴中即阴毛覆盖之处),环绕生殖器,抵达少腹(脐下区域),夹行于胃旁,归属于肝,联络胆(循行至章门穴至期门穴,夹胃属肝,再下行至日月穴联络于胆),向上穿过膈肌,分布于胁肋部,沿喉咙后方上行,进入颃颡(眼球内部连接深处的部分称为目系,颃颡即咽后壁),连接目系,向上出于额部,与督脉交会于头顶(目内连深处为目系,颃颡为咽颡,临泣穴所在为额,百会穴所在为巅顶)。其支脉从目系下行至颊里,环绕口唇内侧。另一支脉又从肝(如期门穴处)分出,贯穿膈肌,向上注入肺脏(交接于手太阴肺经)。
(督脉的“督”有统率之意,行于背部正中,是阳脉的总纲,属于奇经八脉之一。)
督脉起始于下极之俞(两阴之间屏翳处,两筋之间的会阴深处称为下极之俞,是督脉的起始点),并行于脊柱内部,上行至风府(脑户穴所在,在枕骨上方,强间穴后一寸半处),进入脑部,上行至头顶,沿额部下行至鼻柱,隶属于阳脉之海(因为人体的脉络周流于各阳经之分野,如同水流,而督脉则是它们的总纲,所以称为阳脉之海)。
(任脉的“任”有妊养之意,行于腹部正中,是人身生养的根本,属于奇经八脉之一。)
任脉起始于中极之下(会阴部位),向上经过阴毛际,沿腹腔内部上行至关元穴,再上行至喉咙,隶属于阴脉之海(同样因为人体脉络周流于各阴经之分野,如同水流,而任脉则总任诸阴,所以称为阴脉之海)。
(我近来拜访师鲁族人,有幸看到祁门汪石山补注的滑伯仁氏《读素问钞》,共九卷,对医者很有帮助,于是命工匠刊刻,规划成一卷,使其完整以公之于天下,希望读者知晓。)
嘉靖乙酉年冬十月初一,休宁率口程纲谨记。
The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian originates above the pubic hair on the big toe (the area behind the nail of the big toe is called "Sanmao", and the transverse wrinkle behind it is called "Jumao"; this is the Dazhun acupoint). It ascends along the dorsum of the foot (passing the upper medial aspect), one cun distal to the medial malleolus (distal means away from; this is the boundary of Zhongfeng acupoint), three cun above the medial malleolus (this is the boundary of Sanyinjiao acupoint), emerging posterior to the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and ascending along the anterior aspect of the medial thigh (this is the boundary of Ququan acupoint, obtainable by flexing the knee, located at the head of the transverse crease of the knee). It enters the yin region (the flesh of the thigh is called Gu, the yin region contains acupoints such as Bao, and "Yinzhong" refers to the area covered by pubic hair), circles the genitalia, and reaches the lower abdomen (the area below the umbilicus). It runs alongside the stomach, belongs to the Liver, and connects with the Gallbladder (tracing to Zhangmen and Qimen acupoints, alongside the stomach belonging to the Liver, then descending to Riyue acupoint to connect with the Gallbladder). It passes upward through the diaphragm, spreads in the hypochondrium, follows the posterior aspect of the throat, enters the Hangsang (the deep connection inside the eye is called the Eye System; Hangsang refers to the posterior pharyngeal wall), connects with the Eye System, emerges upward onto the forehead, and meets the Du Meridian at the vertex (the deep connection inside the eye is the Eye System; Hangsang is the pharynx; Linqi acupoint is on the forehead; Baihui acupoint is at the vertex). Its branch descends from the Eye System to the inner cheek, circling the interior of the lips. Another branch diverges from the Liver (such as at Qimen acupoint), pierces through the diaphragm, and flows upward into the Lung (connecting with the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian).
(The term "Du" implies governance or direction. It runs along the midline of the back and serves as the chief commander of the Yang meridians; it is one of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.)
The Du Meridian originates at the Shu point of Xiaji (the Pingyi area between the two yins; the deep space between the two tendons is called Xiaji Shu, which is the starting point of the Du Meridian). It runs parallel within the spinal column, ascends to Fengfu (located at Naohu acupoint, one and a half cun posterior to Jiangjian acupoint on the upper occipital bone), enters the brain, ascends to the vertex, follows the forehead to the nasal bridge, and belongs to the Sea of Yang Meridians (since the body's collaterals circulate through all Yang divisions like water, and the Du Meridian acts as their chief commander, it is called the Sea of Yang Meridians).
(The term "Ren" implies pregnancy or nourishment. It runs along the midline of the abdomen and serves as the root of human reproduction and nourishment; it is one of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.)
The Ren Meridian originates below Zhongji (at the Huiyin division), ascends past the pubic hair margin, runs along the interior of the abdomen to Guanyuan, then ascends to the throat, and belongs to the Sea of Yin Meridians (similarly, since the body's collaterals circulate through all Yin divisions like water, and the Ren Meridian governs all Yins, it is called the Sea of Yin Meridians).
(Recently, I visited my relative Shilu and had the privilege of seeing Wang Shishan from Qimen's supplemented annotations of Master Hua Bo-ren's [Hua Shou's] "Reading Suwen Chao". The work consists of nine volumes and is very convenient for physicians. I therefore commissioned craftsmen to print it, planning it into one volume to make it complete and public for the world, hoping readers will be aware of this.)
