足少阴肾经的经脉，起始于足小趾下方，斜向走向足心的涌泉穴，出于然谷穴下方，沿着内踝后方，分支进入脚跟中，向上沿小腿内侧后缘，出于大腿内侧后缘，贯穿脊柱，归属于肾脏，联络膀胱。其直行支脉，从肾脏上行，贯穿肝脏和膈肌，进入肺脏，沿着喉咙，夹持舌根两侧。其分支，从肺部出来，联络心脏，注入胸中。
足太阳膀胱经属少阴（注：此处原文歌诀有误，应为足少阴肾经），起自小趾斜趋涌泉穴，在然谷穴之下、内踝之后，分支进入脚跟中，上行至腓肠肌内侧，出于大腿内侧，贯穿脊柱，归属于肾脏，联络膀胱。直行支脉归属于肾脏，贯穿肝脏和膈肌，进入肺脏，沿着喉咙寻找舌根。分支从肺部出来联络心脏，最终到达胸中深处。
【注释】足少阴肾经的经脉，起始于足太阳膀胱经小趾下方的至阴穴（注：此注亦有误，肾经起于足底，非至阴；但依原文翻译），斜向走向足心的涌泉穴，出于然谷穴下方，沿着内踝后方的太溪穴，从太溪穴分支进入脚跟中的大钟穴，从大钟穴循行经过水泉、照海、复溜、交信等穴位，上行至腓肠肌内侧的筑宾穴。从筑宾穴出来，出于大腿内侧的阴谷穴，从阴谷穴上行至大腿内侧后缘的横骨穴，从横骨穴向内贯穿脊柱，归属于肾脏，联络膀胱。其直行支脉，从肾脏向外依次经过大赫、气穴、四满、中注、肓俞、商曲、石关、阴都、通谷等穴位，进入体内贯穿肝脏与膈肌，向外依次循行幽门、步廊、神封、灵墟、神藏、彧中、俞府等穴位，进入肺脏，沿着喉咙，夹持舌根而终。其分支，从肺部出来联络心脏，注入胸中，以此与手厥阴心包经相交。
足少阴肾经共有二十七个穴位，包括涌泉、然谷、照海等，太溪、水泉连接大钟，复溜、交信、筑宾依次而立，阴谷、横骨趋向大赫，气穴、四满、中注得以定位，肓俞、商曲、石关蹲守，阴都、通谷、幽门正值，步廊、神封出自灵墟，神藏、彧中、俞府结束。
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian originates below the little toe, slants towards the Yongquan (Springing Spring) acupoint in the center of the sole, emerges below the Ran Gu (Ravine Valley) acupoint, follows the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus, branches into the heel, ascends along the medial aspect of the calf, emerges from the medial margin of the thigh, penetrates the spine, belongs to the Kidney organ, and connects with the Bladder organ. Its straight branch ascends from the Kidney, penetrates the Liver organ and diaphragm, enters the Lung organ, follows the throat, and flanks the root of the tongue. Its branch emerges from the Lung, connects with the Heart organ, and pours into the chest.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian (Note: The song text erroneously refers to Foot-Taiyang, but context implies Kidney), starting from the little toe, slants towards the Yongquan acupoint; below the Ran Gu acupoint and behind the medial malleolus, it branches into the heel, ascends to the medial gastrocnemius, emerges on the thigh's medial side, penetrates the spine, belongs to the Kidney, and connects with the Bladder. The straight branch belongs to the Kidney, penetrates the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lung, follows the throat to seek the root of the tongue. The branch emerges from the Lung, connects with the Heart, and finally reaches deep within the chest.
[Annotation] The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian originates from the Zhiyin acupoint below the little toe of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian (Note: This annotation contains a factual error regarding origin, but translated as per source), slants towards the Yongquan acupoint in the center of the sole, emerges below the Ran Gu acupoint, follows the Taixi acupoint behind the medial malleolus, branches from Taixi into the Dazhong acupoint in the heel, travels from Dazhong through the Shuiquan, Zhaohai, Fuliu, and Jiaoxin acupoints, ascends to the Zhubin acupoint in the medial gastrocnemius. Emerging from Zhubin, it appears at the Yin Gu acupoint on the medial thigh, ascends from Yin Gu to the Henggu acupoint at the posterior medial margin of the thigh, penetrates the spine from Henggu, belongs to the Kidney, and connects with the Bladder. Its straight branch exits the Kidney externally, passing sequentially through the Dahe, Qixue, Siman, Zhongzhu, Huangshu, Shangqu, Shiguan, Yindu, Tonggu, etc., acupoints, enters internally to penetrate the Liver and diaphragm, and externally follows the Youmen, Bulang, Shenfeng, Lingxu, Shencang, Yuzhong, and Yufo acupoints, enters the Lung, follows the throat, flanks the root of the tongue, and ends. Its branch emerges from the Lung, connects with the Heart, pours into the chest, thereby intersecting with the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.
There are twenty-seven acupoints in the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, including Yongquan, Ran Gu, and Zhaohai; Taixi and Shuiquan connect to Dazhong; Fuliu, Jiaoxin, and Zhubin stand in sequence; Yin Gu and Henggu lead to Dahe; Qixue, Siman, and Zhongzhu are located; Huangshu, Shangqu, and Shiguan are stationed; Yindu, Tonggu, and Youmen are positioned; Bulang and Shenfeng emerge from Lingxu; Shencang, Yuzhong, and Yufo conclude.
