The meridian of the Gallbladder of Foot-Shaoyang (Zu Shao Yang Dan Jing) originates at the outer canthus (Shao Zhu Liao), ascends to the frontal angle, then descends behind the ear, running anterior to the Sanjiao Meridian of Hand-Shaoyang (Shou Shao Yang San Jiao Jing) until the shoulder; it then crosses posterior to the Sanjiao Meridian of Hand-Shaoyang and enters the supraclavicular fossa (Que Pen). Its branch enters the ear from behind, emerges anterior to the ear, and reaches the posterior aspect of the outer canthus. Another branch descends from the outer canthus to the Daying point, meets the Sanjiao Meridian of Hand-Shaoyang, reaches the infraorbital region, descends to the Jiache point, continues down the neck, and converges with the main vessel in the supraclavicular fossa. From there, it descends into the chest, penetrates the diaphragm, connects with the Liver, and belongs to the Gallbladder. It follows the interior of the costal region, emerges at the Qi Street, surrounds the pubic hair margin, and transversely enters the hip joint. The straight branch descends from the supraclavicular fossa to the axilla, runs along the chest passing through the hypochondrium, and descends to converge with the aforementioned vessel in the hip joint. From there, it descends along the lateral aspect of the thigh, exits the lateral knee, runs anterior to the fibula, and directly reaches the lower end of the fibula. It then emerges anterior to the lateral malleolus, follows the dorsum of the foot, and enters between the fourth and fifth toes. Its branch diverges from the dorsum of the foot, enters between the first and second toes, runs along the medial side of the bifurcation of the first toe, emerges at its tip, returns to penetrate the nail bed, and emerges at the marginal hair.
