足太阳膀胱经的脉气，起始于目内眦（睛明穴），向上经过额部，交会于头顶（百会穴）。其支脉从头顶到达耳上角。其直行主干从头顶进入颅内，联络脑部，然后复出，分别向下经过项部，沿着肩胛内侧，夹着脊柱，抵达腰部，深入体内，联络肾脏，归属于膀胱。
其支脉从腰部下行，贯穿臀部，进入腘窝中（“腘”指膝后弯曲处，即委中穴）。另一支脉从肩胛内侧左右分开，向下经过肩胛骨（“胛”指两髀骨下方竖起的肌肉），夹着脊柱内侧，经过髋关节（髀骨节，即环跳穴），沿着大腿外侧后缘下行，在腘窝中汇合，再向下穿过小腿肚（足肚曰腨），出于外踝后方（昆仑穴），沿着京骨穴（穴位名），到达小趾外侧端（至阴穴，从此处交接进入足少阴肾经）。
当足太阳经发生病变时，会出现冲头痛、眼睛像要脱出、项部像被拔起、脊痛、腰像折断、大腿不能弯曲、小腿像被捆结、脚像被撕裂等症状，这称为“踝厥”。足太阳经主司筋所生的疾病，包括痔疮、疟疾、癫狂病、头脑和头顶疼痛、目黄、流泪、鼻塞流涕或鼻出血、项背腰尻及脚部均痛、小趾活动不利等。脉象实盛的，人迎脉搏动比寸口大两倍；脉象虚弱的，人迎脉搏动反而小于寸口。（出自《灵枢》）

The vessel of Foot-Taiyang (Bladder Meridian) originates at the inner canthus (Jingming, BL1), ascends to the forehead, and intersects at the vertex (Baihui, GV20). Its branch extends from the vertex to the upper angle of the ear. The main straight trunk enters the cranium from the vertex, connects with the brain, then emerges again, descends separately through the nape, follows the medial aspect of the scapula, runs alongside the spine, reaches the waist, enters the interior, connects with the Kidney, and belongs to the Bladder.
Its branch descends from the waist, penetrates the buttocks, and enters the popliteal fossa ("popliteal" refers to the posterior bend of the knee, i.e., Weizhong, BL40). Another branch separates from the medial scapular region, descends laterally across the scapula ("scapula" refers to the muscle mass rising below the humerus), runs medially alongside the spine, passes through the hip joint (hip bone joint, i.e., Huantiao, GB30), follows the posterolateral aspect of the thigh, converges in the popliteal fossa, then descends through the calf muscle ("calf" is called shuan), emerges posterior to the lateral malleolus (Kunlun, BL60), follows Jinggu (BL64), and terminates at the lateral tip of the little toe (Zhiyin, BL67; from here it transitions into Foot-Shaoyin).
When Foot-Taiyang is affected, symptoms include headache with a sensation of rushing upward, eyes feeling as if they are falling out, neck feeling as if being pulled, back pain, waist feeling as if broken, inability to flex the thighs, calves feeling bound or knotted, feet feeling as if torn, known as "An-Jue" (An-Vessel Reversal). Foot-Taiyang governs diseases related to sinews, including hemorrhoids, malaria, manic-depressive disorders, headaches and vertex pain, yellow eyes, tearing, nasal congestion or epistaxis, pain throughout the neck, back, loins, sacrum, and feet, and dysfunction of the little toe. If the pulse is excess, the Renying pulse (ST9) is twice as large as the Cunkou pulse (Radial artery); if deficient, the Renying pulse is smaller than the Cunkou pulse. (From *Ling Shu*)
At Shen hour (3-5 PM), Qi flows from Tinggong (SI19) to Jingming (BL1), traversing the head, neck, back, loins, buttocks, and legs, terminating at Zhiyin (BL67). (From *Ru Men*) ○ The Jing-Well point of Foot-Taiyang is Zhiyin (BL67), which knots at Mingmen (Gate of Life), where Mingmen refers to the eyes. (From *Ling Shu*)

**Fuyang (BL59)**: Two points, located 2-3 cun above the lateral malleolus, below Feiyang (BL58).

**Heyang (BL55)**: Two points, located 3 cun (some say 2 cun) directly below the midpoint of the popliteal crease. ○ 2 cun below Weizhong (BL40). (From *Ru Men*) ○ Needle depth: 5 fen; moxibustion: 5 cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
**Weizhong (BL40)**: Two points, located in the depression of the arterial pulse at the midpoint of the popliteal crease. (From *Tong Ren*) ○ Located at the midpoint of the transverse crease of the knee, where the artery beats. (From *Ru Men*) ○ Weizhong is the Blood Xi-Cleft point. Bleeding here can cure stubborn skin eruptions. (From *Zi Sheng*) ○ Located between two tendons and two bones in the curved popliteal fossa, or behind the knee joint in the bend. Locate from the dorsal side. (From *Zi Sheng*) ○ Do not bleed if purple veins appear like vine knots on the periphery; uncontrolled bleeding may cause premature death. (From *Gang Mu*) ○ Needle depth: 1.5 cun (some say 5 fen); retain for 7 breaths; moxibustion is prohibited. (From *Gang Mu*)
**Weiyang (BL39)**: Two points, located 6 cun below Chengfu (BL36), locate by flexing and extending the leg. ○ This is the Lower He-Sea point of the Sanjiao, located posterior to Foot-Taiyang, emerging between the two tendons on the lateral side of the popliteal fossa. (From *Zi Sheng*) ○ Located 2 cun lateral to Weizhong, at the tip of the popliteal crease, between two tendons, locate by flexing/extending. (From *Ru Men*) ○ Needle depth: 7 fen; moxibustion: 3 cones. (From *Tong Ren*) ○ *Tong Ren* states Weiyang is anterior to Foot-Taiyang and posterior to Foot-Shaoyang, emerging between the two tendons on the lateral side of the popliteal fossa, 6 cun below Chengfu, as a collateral of Foot-Taiyang connecting to Hand-Shaoyang. However, textual analysis suggests it should be 1 chi 6 cun. According to classical methods, locating Weiyang involves flexing/extending, while locating Yanglingquan (GB34) involves sitting upright with knees aligned, measuring down to the front of Weiyang. Thus, "Wei" means bent. Weizhong is the center of the popliteal fossa; Weiyang is the Yang aspect of the bent knee, at the end of the crease between two tendons. Anatomically, this lies between Taiyang and Shaoyang, at the boundary of the medial and lateral aspects. Therefore, it is correctly described as "Anterior to Taiyang, Posterior to Shaoyang, Lateral Popliteal." The point lies exactly between the two tendons of the crease. When the knee is straightened, Yanglingquan aligns with this point, confirming the distance as 1 chi 6 cun. (From *Gang Mu*)

**Zhìbiān (BL54)**: Two points, located 3 cun lateral to the midline, below the 20th thoracic vertebra, in the depression. Locate in prone position. Needle depth: 5 fen; moxibustion: 3 cones.

For points below Dazhu (BL11), subtract the spine width to determine the correct lateral distance of 1.5 cun. Generally, subtract the 1-cun width of the spine. (From *Zi Sheng*)
