经云：脾胃者仓廪之官，五味出焉。
又云：谏议之官，知周出焉。
又云：形如刀镰，与胃同膜，而附其上之左俞，当十一椎下，闻声则动，
动则磨胃而主运化，其合肉也，其荣唇也，开窍于口。
又云：是经常多气少血。
『难经』曰：脾重二斤三两，广扁三寸，长五寸，有散膏半斤，主裹血，
温五脏，主脏意与智。

原文说：脾胃是负责储藏和供给饮食的器官，各种味道都从这里产生。
又说：脾具有谏议之官的功能，智慧周全由此而出。
又说：脾的形状像刀镰，与胃相连于同一层膜，附着在胃的左后方俞穴处，位置在第11椎骨下方，听到声音就会震动，
震动时摩擦胃部从而主导运化功能，其外在表现关联肌肉，荣华显露于口唇，开窍于口。
又说：这条经脉通常多气而少血。
《难经》记载：脾重二斤三两，宽扁三寸，长五寸，还有半斤重的散膏，主要功能是包裹血液，
温暖五脏，主宰脏意与智力。
《中脏经》记载：脾主消化五谷，滋养身体四周（见图四十七）。

The classic states: The spleen and stomach are the officials in charge of granaries; the five flavors originate from them.
It also states: [The spleen is] the official of remonstrance, from which comprehensive wisdom arises.
It also states: Its shape is like a knife or sickle, connected to the stomach by the same membrane, attached to its left posterior aspect at the Shu point, located below the eleventh vertebral process. It moves upon hearing sound,
and when it moves, it rubs against the stomach to govern transportation and transformation. Its external manifestation relates to the muscles, its luster appears on the lips, and it opens into the mouth.
It also states: This meridian typically has abundant Qi and scarce Blood.
The *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) states: The spleen weighs two jin and three liang, is broad and flat with a width of three cun and a length of five cun, and includes half a jin of "scattered pancreas" (San Gao). Its main function is to envelop the Blood,
warm the five Zang organs, and govern the mental intention and intelligence.
The *Zhong Zang Jing* (Classic of Internal Organs) states: The spleen governs the digestion of grains and nourishes the four peripheries (Figure 47).

The Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian originates at the tip of the great toe, follows the medial white flesh margin of the toe, passes behind the metatarsal head (He Gu), ascends anterior to the medial malleolus,
enters the medial thigh, follows the posterior aspect of the tibia, crosses anterior to the Jueyin Liver Meridian, ascends along the anterior medial aspect of the knee and thigh, enters the abdomen, connects with and belongs to the Pi (Spleen), links with the Wei (Stomach), ascends through the Ge (Diaphragm),
runs alongside the pharynx, connects with the root of the tongue, and scatters under the tongue; its branch again emerges from the Stomach, separates to ascend through the Diaphragm, and pours into the Heart. (See Figure 48)

The Taiyin Spleen Meridian originates at the great toe of the foot, ascends along the medial white flesh margin, behind the metatarsal head and anterior to the medial malleolus, ascends [missing character] along the leg through the knee interior,
enters the abdomen from the anterior medial aspect of the thigh, belongs to the Spleen, links with the Stomach, and communicates with the Diaphragm; it runs alongside the throat, connects with the tongue, and scatters under the tongue; the branch network emerges from the Stomach and pours into the Heart.
Note: [1] The meridian of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen originates at the Yinbai acupoint (SP-1) at the tip of the great toe.
[2] From Yinbai, following the medial white flesh margin of the toe, is the Dadu acupoint (SP-2).
[3] From Dadu, passing behind the metatarsal head, is the Taibai acupoint (SP-3).
[4] From Taibai, following the Gongsun (SP-4) and Shangqiu (SP-5) acupoints, arriving anterior to the medial malleolus, is the Sanyinjiao acupoint (SP-6).
[5] From Sanyinjiao, ascending [missing character] inwardly along the posterior aspect of the tibia, is the Lougu acupoint (SP-7).
[6] From Lougu, crossing anterior to the Jueyin Meridian, are the Diji (SP-8) and Yinlingquan (SP-9) acupoints.
[7] From Yinlingquan, ascending to the anterior medial aspect of the knee and thigh, are the Xuehai (SP-10), Jimen (SP-11), and Chongmen (SP-12) acupoints.
[8] From Chongmen, entering the abdomen, belonging to the Spleen, linking with the Stomach, traversing the Fushé, Fujie, Daheng, Fu'ai, Shidou, Tianxi, Xiongxiang, Zhourong, and Dabao acupoints before ascending to the pharynx, running alongside the pharynx, connecting with the root of the tongue, and scattering under the tongue. [9] Its branch emerges from the collateral of the Stomach, separately ascends through the Diaphragm, and pours into the Heart, thereby connecting with the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian.
