任脉的走向是从下往上起始,经过阴部,汇聚于曲骨、中极穴,接着是关元、石门、气海穴,再向上依次是阴交、神阙、水分穴,随后向下脘、建里、中脘穴循行,再向上至上脘、巨阙穴,起始于鸠尾穴,经过中庭、膻中、玉堂穴,紫宫穴之后运行到华盖穴,璇玑、天突、廉泉穴处较为寒冷,最后上行至颐部,以承浆穴结束。
督脉共有二十七个穴位,起始于长强穴,接续腰俞穴,阳关、命门穴对应悬枢穴,脊中、筋缩穴运行至阳关(注:原文“行阳至”疑为衍文或特定语境,此处依字面译),灵台、神道、身柱穴,陶道、大椎、哑门穴相会,风府、脑户穴连接强间穴,后顶、百会、前顶穴相会,从上星、神庭穴到达素髎穴,水沟、兑端、龈交穴止住。
试着举起手来观察手太阴肺经,少商穴在手指的最末端寻找,鱼际穴在大拇指本节(第一掌指关节)的后方,太渊穴在手掌后的中心位置,经渠穴在寸口脉搏跳动的凹陷处,列缺穴在腕横纹上斜刺半寸,孔最穴在腕横纹上量七寸处,尺泽穴在肘窝中间的纹路处讨论定位,侠白穴在天府穴下方,距离肘横纹五寸处动脉跳动应指,天府穴在腋下三寸处,针刺可治疗衄血不止的功效显著。
手阳明大肠经属于大肠,食指内侧名为商阳穴,本节前有二间穴,本节后有三间穴,在歧骨(桡骨茎突)的凹陷中寻找合谷穴,阳溪穴在手腕的上侧详细定位,腕后三寸是偏历穴,五六寸之间侧面有温溜穴,屈肘在肘横纹中寻求曲池穴,曲池穴上三寸有三里穴(注:此处原文可能有误,通常手三里在曲池下二寸,但依原文翻译),上廉穴在下侧一寸,廉此下一寸施灸于肘部,肘部外侧大骨边缘上方,五里穴在肘下三寸取穴,臂臑穴在肘上一寸测量,肩髃穴在肩下,穴位应当辨别清楚。
小指内侧名为中冲穴,少府穴在节后直营宫(注:原文表述较晦涩,指掌心第五掌骨基底前方),腕后一寸名为通里穴,阴郄穴在掌后为液中(注:阴郄在腕后0.5寸,原文描述可能混淆或特指某法),神门穴在掌后锐骨(豌豆骨)的端部,掌后半寸灵道穴相通,少海穴在肘内节后(鹰嘴与肱骨内上髁之间),青灵穴在肘上三寸容纳气血,更有极泉穴共两个,在腋下筋脉贯穿入胸。
小指外侧为端点是手少阳三焦经的起点?(注:原文标题虽为手太阳小肠经,但内容描述实为手少阳三焦经及手厥阴心包经部分穴位,此处依原文文字翻译),小指外侧端点为关冲?(注:原文写“小指为端手少泽”,少泽属小肠经,位于小指尺侧端,此处原文逻辑混乱,但需忠实原文翻译),前谷穴在外侧节前,节后凹陷处为后溪穴,腕骨穴在凹陷处寻外侧,锐骨之间寻找阳谷穴,踝骨(注:此处应为腕骨相关部位,原文用词不当)去陷处为养老穴,支正穴在腕后量五寸,少海穴在肘端五分巧(注:少海属心经,此处原文将不同经脉穴位混杂,依原文翻译)。
The Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) begins from below and ascends, passing through the yin region, converging at Qugu (CV2) and Zhongji (CV3), followed by Guanyuan (CV4), Shimen (CV5), and Qihai (CV6). Ascending further are Yinjiao (CV7), Shenque (CV8), and Shuifen (CV9). It then follows Xiawan (CV10), Jianli (CV11), and Zhongwan (CV12), ascending to Shangwan (CV13), Juque (CV14), starting from Jiuwei (CV15). It passes through Zhongting (CV16), Danzhong (CV17), and Yutang (CV18). After Zigong (CV19), it moves to Huagai (CV20). Xuanji (CV21), Tiantu (CV22), and Lianquan (CV23) are located in colder areas. Finally, it ascends to the chin area, ending at Chengjiang (CV24).
The Du Mai (Governing Vessel) has twenty-seven acupoints. It starts at Changqiang (GV1), connecting to Yaoshu (GV2). Yangguan (GV3) and Mingmen (GV4) correspond to Xianshu (GV5). Jizhong (GV6) and Jianshu (GV7 - *Note: Text says Jinshu which is GV8*) move towards Yangguan. Lingtai (GV10), Shendao (GV11), and Shenzhu (GV12) follow. Taodao (GV13), Dazhui (GV14), and Yamen (GV15) converge. Fengfu (GV16) and Naohu (GV17) connect to Qiangjian (GV18). Houding (GV19), Baihui (GV20), and Qianding (GV21) meet. From Shangxing (GV23) and Shenting (GV24) to Sulu (GV25), Shuigou (GV26), Duanduan (GV27), and Yinjiao (GV28) stop.
Try raising your hand to observe the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. Shaoshang (LU11) is found at the tip of the finger. Yuji (LU10) is behind the first metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. Taiyuan (LU9) is in the center behind the palm. Jingqu (LU8) is in the depression where the radial pulse is felt at the cun kou. Lieque (LU7) is needled obliquely half a cun above the wrist crease. Kongzui (LU6) is measured seven cun above the wrist crease. Chize (LU5) is discussed at the center of the elbow crease. Xiabai (LU2) is below Tianfu (LU3), five cun from the elbow crease where the artery beats. Tianfu (LU3) is three cun under the axilla; needling can effectively treat persistent epistaxis.
The Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian belongs to the large intestine. Shangyang (LI1) is named on the medial side of the index finger. Erjian (LI2) is before the proximal phalanx joint, and Sanjian (LI3) is after it. Hegu (LI4) is sought in the depression between the bones (radial styloid process). Yangxi (LI5) is detailed on the upper lateral side of the wrist. Pianli (LI6) is three cun behind the wrist. Wenliu (LI7) is on the lateral side between five and six cun. Quchi (LI11) is sought in the elbow crease when flexing the arm. Sanli (LI10) is three cun above Quchi. Shanglian (LI9) is one cun below on the lateral side. Moxibustion is applied one cun below this point at the elbow. Above the outer edge of the large bone of the elbow, Wuli (LI13) is taken three cun below the elbow. Binao (LI14) is measured one cun above the elbow. Jianyu (LI15) is below the shoulder, and the acupoint should be distinguished clearly.
Zhongchong (PC9) is on the inner side of the little finger. Shaofu (PC8) is directly behind the joint. Tongli (HT5) is named one cun behind the wrist. Yinxi (HT6) is described as being in the middle behind the palm. Shenmen (HT7) is at the end of the sharp bone (pisiform) behind the palm. Lingdao (HT4) connects half a cun behind the palm. Shaohai (HT3) is after the joint inside the elbow. Qingling (HT9) accommodates qi and blood three cun above the elbow. There are two Ji Quan (HT1) points, where the sinews and vessels in the axilla penetrate into the chest.
The end of the little finger is Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao? (*Note: Text says "Hand Shaoze", but Shaoze is LI/Small Intestine. Text content mixes meridians*). Shaoze (SI1) is at the end of the little finger. Qiangu (SI2) is an acupoint outside and before the proximal phalanx joint. Houxi (SI3) is in the depression after the joint. Wanggu (SI4) is sought laterally in the depression. Yanggu (SI5) is discussed between the sharp bones. Yanglao (SI19) is away from the depression near the ankle bone (*Note: Text likely refers to wrist anatomy*). Zhengzheng (SI7) is measured five cun behind the wrist. Shaohai (HT3) is skillfully located five fen from the end of the elbow.
