足少阳胆经的经脉，起始于目外角（锐眦），向上到达头角，再向下经过耳后，沿着颈部行走，行于手少阳三焦经的前方；到达肩部时，向后交叉，行于手少阳三焦经的后方，进入缺盆穴。
其分支从耳后进入耳中，走出耳前，到达目外角，向下经过大迎穴，与手少阳三焦经相会合，下行至颊车穴，再向下经过颈部，与缺盆部的经脉汇合，由此向下进入胸中，贯穿膈肌，联络肝脏，归属于胆，沿着胁肋内部走行，出于气冲穴（穴位名），环绕阴毛边缘，横向进入髀厌中（即环跳穴）。
直行者从缺盆处下行至腋下，沿着胸侧经过季胁（肋骨称为肋，肋骨尽头处称为季胁），向下与髀厌中的经脉汇合（指腹下、大腿上节交界处），由此向下沿着大腿外侧，出于膝部外侧（阳陵泉穴），下行于腓骨之前（腓骨是指辅助支撑的小腿骨，位于胫骨之外），直下到达绝骨的末端（阳辅穴），向下出于外踝前方（丘墟穴），沿着足背，出于小趾和第二趾之间的末端（本节前为侠溪穴，本节后为临泣穴，更远处为窍阴穴）。
另一分支从足背进入大脚趾两骨之间，出于其末端，远端贯穿指甲，出于丛毛处（自此交入足厥阴肝经）。
经脉发生变动时，会出现口苦、喜欢叹气、心部和胁肋部疼痛、身体不能转侧等症状；严重时面色如蒙尘垢，身体失去光泽，足外侧发热，这被称为“阳厥”。
该经脉主要主管骨骼所发生的疾病，包括：头痛、额角痛、目外角痛、缺盆中部肿痛、腋下肿、马刀疮、挟瘿（甲状腺肿大）、出汗、寒战、疟疾、胸胁及季胁、大腿、膝盖外侧直至小腿、绝骨、外踝前以及各个关节皆痛，小趾和第二趾功能丧失。脉象盛大的人，人迎脉搏动比寸口大一倍；脉象虚弱的人，人迎脉搏动反而小于寸口。（出自《灵枢》）○子时气血自耳门穴流出，沿着头部、耳侧、胁肋下行，至足窍阴穴止。（出自《入门》）○少阳经的根部在窍阴穴，结聚在窗笼（即耳朵）。（出自《灵枢》）

The meridian of Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) originates at the outer canthus (Shaozhuang, GB1), ascends to the head corner, then descends behind the ear, follows the neck, running anterior to the meridian of Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao); upon reaching the shoulder, it crosses posteriorly, running behind the meridian of Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao), and enters the Clavicular Fossa (Quepen, SI15).
A branch from the ear enters the auditory canal, emerges anterior to the ear, reaches the outer canthus, descends to meet the Large Ying point (Daying, ST9), connects with the meridian of Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao), descends to the Jawbone point (Jiache, ST6), then goes down the neck to converge with the clavicular fossa meridian. From there, it descends into the chest, penetrates the diaphragm, links with the Liver, belongs to the Gallbladder, runs along the interior of the costal margin, emerges at the Qichong point (Qichong, ST30), surrounds the pubic region, and transversely enters the Hip Crevice (Huantiao, GB30).
The straight branch descends from the Clavicular Fossa to the axilla, passes along the lateral chest through the Hypochondrium (the end of the ribs is called the hypochondrium), converges downward with the Hip Crevice (referring to the junction of the lower abdomen and upper thigh), and continues down the lateral aspect of the thigh, emerging at the lateral knee (Yanglingquan, GB34). It descends anterior to the fibula (the fibula is the smaller bone assisting support, located lateral to the tibia), reaches the end of the Juegu (Yangfu, GB38), emerges anterior to the lateral malleolus (Qiuxu, GB40), follows the dorsum of the foot, and emerges at the tip between the little toe and the second toe (Xiaxi, GB43 is anterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint, Zulinqi, GB41 is posterior to it, and Guixin, GB44 is further distally).
Another branch arises from the dorsum of the foot, enters between the bones of the big toe, emerges at its tip, extends distally through the nail bed, and emerges at the hair tuft (here it intersects with the Foot-Jueyin Liver meridian).
When the meridian is affected by pathogenic factors, symptoms include bitter taste in the mouth, frequent sighing, pain in the heart and hypochondrium, inability to turn the body; in severe cases, the face appears dusty and dull, the body lacks luster, and heat occurs on the lateral aspect of the foot, known as "Yang Jue" (Yang Reversal).
This meridian primarily governs diseases of the bones, including: headache, temporal pain, pain at the outer canthus, swelling and pain in the middle of the Clavicular Fossa, axillary swelling, "Ma Dao" sores (scrofula-like lesions), "Jia Ying" (goiter-like swelling), sweating, chills, malaria, pain in the chest, hypochondrium, ribs, thigh, lateral knee, lower leg, Juegu, anterior lateral malleolus, and all joints; dysfunction of the little toe and second toe. In cases of excess, the Renying pulse (carotid artery) is one times larger than the Cunkou pulse (radial artery); in cases of deficiency, the Renying pulse is smaller than the Cunkou pulse. (From *Ling Shu*) ○ At Zi hour (11 PM - 1 AM), qi and blood flow from Ermen, along the side of the head, ear, and hypochondrium, descending to Guixin point. (From *Ru Men*) ○ The root of Shaoyang is at Guixin, and it knots at Chuanglong (the ear). (From *Ling Shu*)
Guixin (GB44): Two points located at the lateral end of the fourth toe, distance from the nail corner like a leek leaf width. This is the Jing-Well point where Qi and Blood emerge from the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 1 cun. Retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Xiaxi (GB43): Two points located in the depression anterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the fourth toe, between the fourth and fifth toes. This is the Ying-Spring point where Qi and Blood flow in the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 2 fen. Retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Di Wuhui (GB41): Two points located in the depression posterior to the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fourth toe, 1 cun distal to Xiaxi. Needle depth: 2 fen. **Moxibustion is contraindicated.** If moxibustion is applied, the patient will become emaciated and may die within three years. (From *Tong Ren*)
Zulinqi (GB41): Two points located in the depression posterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the fourth toe, 1.5 cun distal to Xiaxi. This is the Shu-Stream point where Qi and Blood pour into the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 3 fen. Retain needle for three breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Qiuxu (GB40): Two points located in the depression slightly anterior to the inferior border of the lateral malleolus, 3 cun distal to Zulinqi. This is the Yuan-Source point where Qi and Blood pass through the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 5 fen. Retain needle for seven breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Xuanzhong (GB39): Also known as Juegu. Two points located 3 cun superior to the apex of the lateral malleolus, in the arterial pulsation. This is the large collateral of the Three Yang meridians. Press here until the Yangming pulse disappears to confirm location. Needle depth: 6 fen. Retain needle for seven breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Yangfu (GB38): Two points located 4 cun superior to the apex of the lateral malleolus, anterior to the fibula, at the end of Juegu, 3 fen anterior to the previous reference, 7 cun distal to Qiuxu. This is the Jing-River point where Qi and Blood travel in the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 5 fen. Retain needle for seven breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Guangming (GB37): Two points located 5 cun superior to the apex of the lateral malleolus. This is the Luo-Connecting point of Shaoyang, diverging to Jueyin. Needle depth: 6 fen. Retain needle for seven breaths. Moxibustion: 5 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Waiqiu (GB36): Two points located 7 cun superior to the apex of the lateral malleolus, in the bony depression. This is the Xi-Cleft point of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 3 fen. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Yangjiao (GB35): Also known as Bieyang or Foot-Yangwei. Two points located 7 cun superior to the apex of the lateral malleolus, obliquely belonging to the space between the muscles of the Three Yang meridians. Needle depth: 6 fen. Retain needle for seven breaths. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones. (From *Tong Ren*)
Yanglingquan (GB34): Two points located 1 cun below the knee, in the depression on the lateral aspect, accessible by extending the leg. (From *Tong Ren*) ○ Located anterior to the lateral tibial condyle. (From *Zi Sheng*) ○ Located in the depression between the two bones 1 cun below the patella, taken while squatting. This is the He-Sea point where Qi and Blood enter the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian. Needle depth: 6 fen. Retain needle for ten breaths. Discharge immediately upon obtaining Deqi.
