（是经起于隐白穴，终于大包穴。）
脾足太阴之脉，起于大趾之端，循趾内侧白肉际，过核骨后，上内踝前廉，上 内，循胫骨后，交出厥阴
之前，上膝股内前廉，入腹，属脾，络胃，上膈，挟咽，连舌本，散舌下。其支者，复从胃别上膈，注心中。
是动则病舌本强，食则呕，胃脘痛，腹胀，善噫，得后与气则快然如衰，身体皆重。是主脾所生病者，舌本痛，
体不能动摇，食不下，烦心，心下急痛，溏瘕泄，水闭，黄胆，不能卧，强立股膝内肿厥，足大趾不用，为此
诸病，盛则泻之，虚则补之，热则疾之，寒则留之，陷下则灸之，不盛不虚，以经取之。盛者寸口大三倍于人迎
，虚者寸口反小于人迎也。
核骨，足大趾本节后内侧圆骨也。腓腹为 。髀内为股。脐上为腹。咽，胃系也。舌本，舌根也。
足太阴脾受足阳明之交，起于足大趾端之隐白穴，循趾内侧白肉际大都穴，过核骨后，历太白、公孙、商丘，
上内踝前廉之
三阴交，上 内，循 骨后之漏谷上行，交出足厥阴之前，至地机、阴陵泉，上循膝股前廉之血海、箕门，迤
逦入腹，经冲门、府舍，复循腹结、大横，会下脘，历腹哀，过期门之分，循本经之里，下至中脘之际，以属
脾络胃，又由腹哀上膈，循食窦、天溪、胸乡、周荣，曲折向下至大包，又自大包外曲折向上，会中府上行人
迎之里，挟喉，连舌本，散舌下而终。其支者，由腹哀穴别行，再从胃部中脘穴之外上膈，注于膻中之里心之
分，以交于手少阴心经也。
足太阴脾经，起始于大脚趾的末端，沿着脚趾内侧白色皮肤与红色皮肤的交界处行走，经过核骨后方，上行至内踝前缘，再向上沿小腿内侧前行，在胫骨后侧行走，交叉到足厥阴肝经的前方，继续上行至膝盖和大腿内侧前缘，进入腹部，归属于脾脏，联络胃腑，穿过膈肌，夹行于咽喉两侧，连接舌根，散布于舌下。它的分支，又从胃部别出，上行穿过膈肌，注入心中。
当本经发生病变时，会出现舌根僵硬、进食后呕吐、胃脘疼痛、腹部胀满、经常嗳气，大小便通畅或排气后感觉轻松舒适如同病势减轻，全身沉重等症状。本经主治脾脏所生的疾病，包括：舌根疼痛、身体不能动摇、饮食不下、心烦、心窝部急痛、大便溏泄或伴有积块的泄泻、小便不通、黄疸、无法平卧、强行站立时大腿和膝盖内侧肿胀或厥冷、大脚趾活动不利等。对于上述各种病症，实证用泻法，虚证用补法，热证用疾刺法（快速进针出针），寒证用留针法，脉气下陷的用灸法，不虚不实者取本经穴位治疗。实证表现为寸口脉搏动比人迎脉搏大三倍，虚证则表现为寸口脉搏反而小于人迎脉搏。
核骨，是指足大趾本节后面内侧的圆形骨头。腓肠肌部位称为“腨”。大腿内侧称为“股”。肚脐以上称为“腹”。咽部是胃系的通道。舌本是舌根。
足太阴脾经接受足阳明胃经的气血交会，起始于足大趾末端的隐白穴，沿着脚趾内侧白色皮肤与红色皮肤的交界处经过大都穴，越过核骨后方，依次经过太白、公孙、商丘穴，上行至内踝前缘的三阴交穴，再上行至小腿内侧，沿着胫骨后方的漏谷穴上行，交叉到足厥阴肝经的前方，到达地机、阴陵泉穴，再上行沿着膝盖和大腿内侧前缘的血海、箕门穴，蜿蜒进入腹部，经过冲门、府舍穴，又沿着腹结、大横穴，会合于下脘穴，依次经过腹哀穴，经过期门穴的分界处，循行在本经的深层，下行至中脘穴附近，从而归属于脾脏并联络胃腑；然后又从腹哀穴上行穿过膈肌，经过食窦、天溪、胸乡、周荣穴，曲折向下到达大包穴；又从大包穴向外曲折向上，会合于中府穴，上行进入人迎穴的深层，夹行于喉咙，连接舌根，散布于舌下而终结。它的分支，从腹哀穴别出，再从胃部中脘穴的外侧上行穿过膈肌，注入膻中穴深层心脏的分野，从而与手少阴心经相交接。
(The meridian starts at the Yinbai point and ends at the Dabao point.)
The Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian originates at the tip of the great toe, follows the medial white skin margin of the toe, passes behind the nuclear bone (the medial malleolus area/root of the great toe), ascends to the anterior edge of the medial malleolus, goes up along the medial aspect of the lower leg, runs posterior to the tibia, crosses anterior to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian, ascends along the anterior edge of the medial knee and thigh, enters the abdomen, connects with the Spleen organ, and links with the Stomach organ. It passes through the diaphragm, flanks the pharynx, connects with the root of the tongue, and scatters under the tongue. Its branch separates from the Stomach, ascends through the diaphragm, and pours into the Heart.
When this meridian is disturbed, diseases manifest as: stiffness of the tongue root, vomiting after eating, epigastric pain, abdominal distension, frequent belching, a feeling of relief similar to symptom alleviation after defecation or passing gas, and heaviness of the body. The diseases primarily governed by the Spleen include: pain at the tongue root, inability to move the body, difficulty in swallowing food, vexation, urgent pain in the epigastrium, loose stools or dysentery with masses, urinary retention, jaundice, inability to lie flat, swelling or coldness in the inner thighs and knees when standing forcibly, and dysfunction of the great toe. For these various diseases, excess conditions are treated with draining methods, deficiency conditions with tonifying methods, heat conditions with rapid needling, cold conditions with retained needle techniques, sinking pulse conditions with moxibustion, and neither-excess-nor-deficiency conditions are treated by selecting points on the affected meridian. Excess conditions present with the Cun Kou pulse being three times larger than the Ren Ying pulse; deficiency conditions present with the Cun Kou pulse being smaller than the Ren Ying pulse.
The "nuclear bone" refers to the round bone on the medial side behind the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe. The calf muscle area is called "Shuan". The inner thigh is called "Gu". The area above the umbilicus is called "Fu" (abdomen). The pharynx is the pathway of the stomach system. The tongue root is the base of the tongue.
The Foot-Taiyin Splein Meridian receives intersection Qi from the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. It originates at the Yinbai point at the tip of the great toe, follows the medial white skin margin through the Dadu point, passes behind the nuclear bone, traverses the Taibai, Gongsun, and Shangqiu points, ascends to the Sanyinjiao point at the anterior edge of the medial malleolus, goes up the medial leg, ascends through the Lougu point posterior to the tibia, crosses anterior to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian, reaches the Diji and Yinlingquan points, ascends along the anterior edge of the medial knee and thigh through the Xuehai and Jimen points, winds into the abdomen, passes through the Chongmen and Fushé points, follows the Fujie and Dacheng points, meets the Xiawan point, traverses the Fu'ai point, passes the boundary of the Qimen point, runs deep within its own meridian, descends to the vicinity of the Zhongwan point, thereby connecting with the Spleen and linking with the Stomach. It then ascends from the Fu'ai point through the diaphragm, passes through the Shidou, Tianxi, Xiongxiang, and Zhourong points, curves downward to the Dabao point. From the Dabao point, it curves outward and upward, meets the Zhongfu point, ascends deeply into the Ren Ying area, flanks the throat, connects with the tongue root, and scatters under the tongue to terminate. Its branch separates from the Fu'ai point, ascends from the lateral side of the Zhongwan point in the Stomach through the diaphragm, pours into the deep area of the Danzhong point corresponding to the Heart, and intersects with the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian.
