按：
此古数也，以今用上、下穴法参较，多有未合，宜从后胸腹折法为当。

胸腹折法：直寸以中行为之，
自缺盆中天突穴起，至岐骨际上中庭穴止，折作八寸四分；
自□骭上岐骨际，下至脐心，折作八寸；
脐心下至毛际曲骨穴，折作五寸。
横寸以两乳相去，折作八寸。胸腹横直寸法，并根据此。

条文：
从头发边缘以下至背部脊椎骨，长度为二寸半。（这是指从后发际线直到大椎穴所在的颈椎第三节处。）
按语：
头部纵向折量法：从前发际线到后发际线，折算为一尺二寸。
如果发际线不清晰，则取眉心直上，向后延伸至大杼骨，折算为一尺八寸，这称为“直寸”（纵向尺寸）。
横向折量法，以眼角至外眼角之间的距离，作为一寸。头部的横向和纵向折量标准，均依据此法确定。
督脉的神庭穴至太阳经的曲差穴，曲差穴至少阳经的本神穴，本神穴至阳明经的头维穴，
各自旁开一寸半。从神庭穴到头维穴，各自旁开四寸半。
条文：
喉结以下至缺盆穴，中间长度四寸。（这是指在巨骨上方的凹陷处而言，即天突穴的位置。）
缺盆穴以下至胸骨剑突中间的沟槽内，长度九寸。
胸部周长四尺五寸。
两乳头之间，宽度九寸半，（应当折算为八寸才恰当。）
胸骨剑突中下段至天枢穴，长度八寸。
（天枢是足阳明胃经的穴位名称，位于脐旁，这里指与肚脐平齐的位置。）
天枢穴以下至横骨穴，长度六寸半，横骨穴横向长度六寸半。（阴毛下方的骨头称为横骨。）
按语：
这是古代的度量数据，用现在上下穴位的方法进行参照比较，大多不相吻合，适宜采用后面所述的胸腹折量法更为恰当。
条文：
两大腿根部之间，宽度六寸半。这指的是两股中间横骨两端的位置，俗称髀缝。
按语：
胸腹纵向折量法：纵向尺寸以身体正中线为准，
自缺盆处的天突穴起，至胸骨下端连接处的中庭穴止，折算为八寸四分；
自胸骨剑突上端的岐骨际，向下至肚脐中心，折算为八寸；
肚脐中心向下至阴毛处的曲骨穴，折算为五寸。
横向尺寸以两乳头之间的距离，折算为八寸。胸腹部的横向和纵向折量标准，均依据此法确定。

From the lower edge of the hairline to the vertebral bone of the back, the length is 2.5 cun. (This refers to the area from the posterior hairline to the third cervical vertebra where the Dazhui point is located.)
Commentary:
Head longitudinal measurement method: From the anterior hairline to the posterior hairline, it is measured as 1 chi 2 cun.
If the hairline is unclear, measure from the midpoint between the eyebrows straight up, extending backward to the Dazhu bone, and measure it as 1 chi 8 cun; this is called "Zhi Cun" (longitudinal measurement).
Transverse measurement method: The distance from the inner canthus to the outer canthus is considered 1 cun. The transverse and longitudinal measurement standards for the head are based on this.
The Shenting point of the Du Meridian to the Qucha point of the Bladder Meridian, the Qucha point to the Benshen point of the Gallbladder Meridian, and the Benshen point to the Touwei point of the Stomach Meridian,
are each 1.5 cun lateral to the midline. From the Shenting point to the Touwei point, they are each 4.5 cun lateral to the midline.

From the Adam's apple below to the Quepen point, the middle length is 4 cun. (This refers to the depression above the Jugu bone, which is the location of the Tiantu point.)
From the Quepen point below to the center of the sternum notch, the length is 9 cun.
The circumference of the chest is 4 chi 5 cun.
Between the two nipples, the width is 9.5 cun, (it should be measured as 8 cun for accuracy.)
From the lower part of the xiphoid process to the Tianshu point, the length is 8 cun.
(Tianshu is the name of an acupoint in the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, located beside the umbilicus; here it refers to the level of the umbilicus.)
From the Tianshu point below to the Henggu point, the length is 6.5 cun, and the transverse length of the Henggu bone is 6.5 cun. (The bone below the pubic hair is called the Henggu bone.)
Commentary:
These are ancient measurements. When compared with current upper and lower acupoint methods, there are many discrepancies. It is more appropriate to adopt the subsequent chest and abdomen measurement method.
Text:
Between the two thighs, the width is 6.5 cun. This refers to the position at both ends of the transverse bone in the middle of the two thighs, commonly known as the thigh seam.
Commentary:
Chest and abdomen longitudinal measurement method: The longitudinal measurement is based on the midline of the body.
Starting from the Tiantu point at the Quepen area to the Zhongting point at the junction of the sternum and xiphoid process, it is measured as 8.4 cun;
From the upper end of the xiphoid process (Qigu ji) down to the center of the umbilicus, it is measured as 8 cun;
From the center of the umbilicus down to the Qugu point at the pubic symphysis, it is measured as 5 cun.
The transverse measurement is based on the distance between the two nipples, measured as 8 cun. The transverse and longitudinal measurement standards for the chest and abdomen are all based on this.
