阳跷脉起始于足跟中部,向上行走与三阳经在外踝处汇合,沿着胁部、肩部上行进入颈部,归属于目内眦并会合于太阳经。
【注】阳跷脉,起始于足跟之中,向上经过外踝与三阳经汇合并上行,经过胁部时位于少阳经的穴位(如居髎),向上沿肩部走行,进入颈部经过阳明经的肩髃、承泣等穴位,最终归属于目内眦并与太阳经相会合。
阳跷脉起始于申脉、仆参、阳交穴,位于肩部的巨骨穴乡,经过俞、地仓、巨髎、承泣穴,最终止于睛明这一个强劲的穴位。
阳跷脉起于足太阳膀胱经,申脉穴位于外踝下方五分处;仆参穴在后侧环绕跟骨下方;附阳穴位于外踝上方三寸处;居髎穴在骨上凹陷处取穴;肩髃穴位于肩尖正对之处;肩上向上行名为巨骨穴;肩胛之上为俞穴;口角旁四分为地仓穴;鼻旁八分为巨髎穴;眼下七分为承泣穴;目内眦外侧一分处为睛明穴。
【注】“跷”指足部,奇经中涉及足部的称为跷脉。“曰阳”,是因为其循行路线经过阳经。所谓阳跷脉,是指足太阳膀胱经的别出之脉,起始于足太阳膀胱经,具体位置在足外踝下五分处的凹陷中,即申脉穴。从申脉穴向后绕行至跟骨下方,此处为仆参穴。从仆参穴向前斜行至足外踝上三寸处,此处为附阳穴。又与足少阳胆经会合于季胁软骨端下八寸三分处,此处为居髎穴。又与手阳明大肠经会合于膊骨头肩端上方,此处为肩髃穴。从肩髃穴向上行至肩尖上方的两叉骨之间,此处为巨骨穴。又与手太阳、足太阳及阳维脉会合于肩后大骨下方的肩胛上缘,此处为俞穴。又与手阳明、足阳明经会合于夹口角旁四分处,此处为地仓穴。从地仓穴行至于鼻孔旁八分处,此处为巨髎穴。又与任脉、足阳明经会合于眼下七分处,此处为承泣穴。又与手太阳、足太阳、足阳明及阴跷脉会合于目内眦外侧一分处,此处为睛明穴。
The Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel) originates in the middle of the heel, ascends to merge with the three Yang meridians at the lateral malleolus, travels along the hypochondrium and shoulder, enters the neck, belongs to the medial canthus, and meets the Taiyang Meridian.
[Note] The Yang Qiao Mai originates in the middle of the heel, ascends passing the lateral malleolus where it merges with the three Yang meridians. It passes through the hypochondrium at the acupoint of the Shaoyang Meridian (e.g., Juliao), ascends along the shoulder, enters the neck passing acupoints of the Yangming Meridian such as Jianyu and Chengqi, ultimately belongs to the medial canthus, and converges with the Taiyang Meridian.
The Yang Qiao Mai originates from Shenmai, Pucan, and Yangjiao; resides in the area of Jugu; passes through Shuyu, Dicang, Juxiao, and Chengqi; and finally terminates at the robust Jingming acupoint.
The Yang Qiao Mai originates from the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Shenmai is located five fen below the lateral malleolus; Pucan wraps around below the calcaneus posteriorly; Fuyang is located three cun above the lateral malleolus; Juliao is taken in the depression above the bone; Jianyu corresponds directly to the tip of the shoulder; Jugu is named so because it ascends upward from the shoulder; Shuyu is located on the upper part of the scapula; Dicang is positioned four fen beside the corner of the mouth; Juxiao is eight fen beside the nose; Chengqi is seven fen below the eye; and Jingming is located one fen lateral to the medial canthus.
[Note] "Qiao" refers to the foot; among the Extraordinary Vessels, those involving the feet are named Qiao vessels. "Yang" indicates that its pathway traverses Yang meridians. The Yang Qiao Mai is defined as a divergent branch of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. It originates from the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, specifically in the depression five fen below the lateral malleolus of the foot, which is the Shenmai acupoint. From Shenmai, it winds posteriorly below the calcaneus, where the Pucan acupoint is located. From Pucan, it moves anteriorly and obliquely to three cun above the lateral malleolus, where the Fuyang acupoint is located. It then meets the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian eight cun and three fen below the end of the costal cartilage at the flank, where the Juliao acupoint is located. It meets the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian above the humeral head at the shoulder end, where the Jianyu acupoint is located. From Jianyu, it ascends to the space between the two forked bones above the shoulder tip, where the Jugu acupoint is located. It meets the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and Yang Wei Mai at the upper edge of the scapula below the large bone posterior to the shoulder, where the Shuyu acupoint is located. It meets the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian four fen lateral to the corner of the mouth, where the Dicang acupoint is located. From Dicang, it travels to eight fen lateral to the nostril, where the Juxiao acupoint is located. It meets the Ren Mai and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian seven fen below the eye, where the Chengqi acupoint is located. Finally, it meets the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Yin Qiao Mai one fen lateral to the medial canthus, where the Jingming acupoint is located.
