足厥阴肝经,共有十三个穴位结束。起始于大敦穴,经过行间穴;沿着太冲穴,到达中封穴;这里是蠡沟穴与中都穴的交会处;膝关穴和曲泉穴是此经的宫室;袭取阴包穴与五里穴;阴廉穴由此发出;寻找羊矢穴(即冲门穴)在章门穴处;期门穴可以攻治疾病。
足大趾末端名为大敦。(内侧为隐白穴,外侧为大敦穴)。行间穴位于大趾缝中。太冲穴在本节后方二寸处。跟前一寸处称为中封穴。(位于足内踝骨后一寸,筋里凹陷处)。蠡沟穴在内踝上五寸处。(内踝骨前上方五寸)。中都穴在内踝后七寸处。(内踝上七寸,骨中)。膝关穴在犊鼻穴下二寸。曲泉穴在屈膝时尽处的横纹中。阴包穴在膝上方四寸处。(大腿内侧两筋之间,屈足取之,看膝内侧必有槽中)。气冲穴下三寸处有五里穴。(气冲穴上三寸,阴股中动脉应手)。阴廉穴在冲门穴下二寸。羊矢穴(冲门穴)在冲门穴下一寸许。气冲穴却是胃经的穴位,位于鼠鼷(腹股沟)上一寸主病。鼠鼷位于横骨端尽处。距离身体中线四寸止。章门穴在下脘穴旁开九寸。肘尖尽处侧卧取穴。期门穴又在巨阙穴旁开四寸五分,没有差错。
(经脉循行于身前、身后的,凭借任脉和督脉来区分上下左右)
督脉在背部正中线上,从长强穴开始,共有二十七个穴位。舞腰俞穴,歌阳关穴,入命门穴,悬枢穴正当其位。脊中穴束筋造至阳穴。灵台穴、神道穴、身柱穴详细记载。陶道穴、大椎穴直到哑门穴。风府穴、脑户穴、强间穴分开。后项百会穴与前项相接。囟会上星穴与神庭穴相连。素髎穴与水沟穴。至于鼻下。兑端穴交于龈交穴。交于内唇。
督脉的龈交穴在唇内乡。兑端穴正在唇端中央。水沟穴在鼻下沟中的索状处。素髎穴宜向鼻端详察。头形北高面南下。先以前后发际量度。分为一尺又二寸。发上五分处为神庭穴当值。发上一寸处为上星穴位。发上二寸处为囟会穴良善。前项发上三寸半。百会穴在发上五寸中央。(在头顶中央旋毛中,两耳尖连线上方,可容爪甲。性理北溪陈氏曰:略近些北方,犹如天之极星居北。夫言一尺有二而其数只一尺一寸者何也?盖前后发际无穴而必以前后发际量起,则有一寸在也。)会后寸半即为后顶穴。会后三寸处强间穴明亮。会后脑户穴四寸半。后发入寸风府穴行。(项后发际入一寸大筋内宛宛中,疾言其肉立起,言休立止,即百会后五寸半也)。发上五分哑门穴在。(后发际上五分项中央宛宛中,仰头取之,入系舌本)。神庭至此十个穴位真实。自此项骨下脊,分为二十有四椎。大椎上有项骨在。约有三椎莫算之。尾有长强亦不算。中间廿一可排推。大椎大骨为第一。二椎节后陶道知。第三椎间身柱在。第五神道不须疑。第六灵台至阳七。第九身内筋缩思。十一脊中之穴在。十二悬枢之穴奇。十四命门肾俞并。十六阳关自可知。二十一椎即腰俞。脊尾骨端长强随。(共二十七个穴位)
The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian ends with thirteen acupoints. It starts at Dadun (Dadun, LR1), passes through Xingjian (Xingjian, LR2); along Taichong (Taichong, LR3), reaching Zhongfeng (Zhongfeng, LR4); here is the intersection of Ligou (Ligou, LR5) and Zhongdu (Zhongdu, LR6); Xiguan (Xiguan, LR7) and Ququan (Ququan, LR8) are the palaces of this meridian; Yinbao (Yinbao, LR9) and Wuli (Wuli, LR10) are accessed; Yinlian (Yinlian, LR11) emanates from here; Yangshi (Chongmen, ST30, often referred to as Yangshi in older texts or specific contexts like "rat groin") is sought at Zhangmen (Zhangmen, LR13); Qimen (Qimen, LR14) can attack diseases.
The end of the great toe is named Dadun (LR1). (Yinbai is on the medial side, Dadun on the lateral side). Xingjian (LR2) is stored in the space between the great toe and the second toe. Taichong (LR3) is two cun distal to the metatarsophalangeal joint. One cun anterior to the heel bone is called Zhongfeng (LR4). (Located one cun posterior to the medial malleolus, in the depression within the tendon). Ligou (LR5) is five cun above the medial malleolus. (Five cun superior and anterior to the medial malleolus). Zhongdu (LR6) is seven cun posterior to the medial malleolus. (Seven cun above the medial malleolus, within the bone). Xiguan (LR7) is two cun below Dubi (ST35). Ququan (LR8) is at the end of the transverse crease when the knee is flexed. Yinbao (LR9) is four cun above the knee. (Between the two tendons on the medial aspect of the thigh, taken with the foot flexed; there must be a groove on the medial side of the knee). Wuli (LR10) is three cun below Qichong (ST30). (Three cun above Qichong, where the arterial pulse can be felt in the medial thigh). Yinlian (LR11) is two cun below Chongmen (ST30). Yangshi (referring to Chongmen/ST30 area) is approximately one cun below Chongmen. Qichong (ST30) is an acupoint of the Stomach Meridian, governing the area one cun above Shuxi (the inguinal region). Shuxi is located at the end of the pubic bone. It stops four cun away from the midline of the body. Zhangmen (LR13) is nine cun lateral to Xiawan (CV10). Lie down on the side to locate it at the end of the elbow tip. Qimen (LR14) is again four cun and five fen lateral to Juque (CV14), without error.
(The meridians circulating on the anterior and posterior aspects of the body are distinguished by the Ren and Du meridians for upper/lower and left/right divisions.)
The Du Meridian runs along the midline of the back, starting with Changqiang (Changqiang, GV1), having twenty-seven acupoints in total. Wanyangguan (GV3) and Yangguan (GV3, though text says Yangguan separately, likely referring to Mingmen/GV4 or similar sequence contextually, but strictly translating names: Yangguan), entering Mingmen (Mingmen, GV4), Xuanshu (Xuanshu, GV15) is proper. Jizhong (Jizhong, GV12) binds the tendons to create Zhiyang (Zhiyang, GV14). Lingtai (Lingtai, GV10), Shendao (Shendao, GV11), and Shenzhu (Shenzhu, GV12) are detailed. Daotao (Daotao, GV13), Dazhui (Dazhui, GV14) up to Yamen (Yamen, GV15). Fengfu (Fengfu, GV16), Naohu (Naohu, GV17), and Qiangjian (Qiangjian, GV18) are separated. Baihui (Baihui, GV20) at the back of the neck connects to the front of the head. Xinhui (Xinhui, GV22), Shangxing (Shangxing, GV23), and Shenting (Shenting, CV24) connect. Suliao (Suliao, GV25) and Shuigou (Shuigou, GV26). Until below the nose. Duanduan (Duanduan, CV25) intersects with Yinjiao (Yinjiao, CV24). Intersecting with the inner lip.
Yinjiao (GV28) of the Du Meridian is inside the lip corner. Duanduan (CV25) is exactly at the center of the lip tip. Shuigou (GV26) is in the groove under the nose. Suliao (GV25) should be examined towards the nasal tip. The head shape is high in the north and low in the south face. First measure by the anterior and posterior hairlines. Divide into one chi and two cun. Five fen above the hairline is Shenting (CV24). One cun above the hairline is Shangxing (GV23). Two cun above the hairline is Xinhui (GV22). Three and a half cun above the anterior hairline. Baihui (GV20) is five cun above the hairline in the center. (In the center of the vertex whorl, above the line connecting the apexes of both ears, enough to hold a fingernail. Chen Shi of Beixi in Xingli says: Slightly closer to the North, just as the Pole Star resides in the North. Why does it say one chi and two cun but the number is only one chi and one cun? Because there are no acupoints at the anterior and posterior hairlines themselves, yet measurement must start from them, thus one cun is included.) Half a cun after Xinhui is Houding (GV21). Three cun after Xinhui, Qiangjian (GV18) is bright. Four and a half cun after Xinhui is Naohu (GV17). Entering one cun into the posterior hairline, Fengfu (GV16) proceeds. (One cun into the posterior hairline, within the large tendon in the depression; speaking quickly makes the muscle rise immediately, stopping speech makes it fall immediately, which is five and a half cun behind Baihui). Five fen above the hairline, Yamen (GV15) is located. (In the depression at the center of the posterior hairline, five fen above; look up to take it; it enters to tie the root of the tongue). From Shenting to here, ten acupoints are true. From this point, the cervical vertebrae down the spine are divided into twenty-four vertebrae. There is a cervical bone above Dazhui (GV14). Approximately three vertebrae should not be counted. Changqiang (GV1) at the tail is also not counted. The middle twenty-one can be pushed in order. Dazhui (GV14) and the large bone are the first. After the joint of the second vertebra, Daotao (GV13) is known. In the space of the third vertebra, Shenzhu (GV12) is located. Shen Dao (GV11) at the fifth vertebra needs no doubt. Lingtai (GV10) to Zhiyang (GV14) at the sixth and seventh. At the ninth, Jinsuo (GV9) within the body is thought of. The acupoint of Jizhong (GV12) is at the eleventh. The acupoint of Xuanshu (GV15) at the twelfth is unique. Mingmen (GV4) and Shenshu (BL23) are together at the fourteenth. Yangguan (GV3) at the sixteenth can be known naturally. The twenty-first vertebra is Yaoshu (GV3). Changqiang (GV1) follows at the end of the sacrococcygeal bone. (Total twenty-seven acupoints).
