阴跷亦起跟中，少阴之别内踝行，上循阴股入胸腹，上至咽喉至睛明。
注：[1]阴跷之脉，亦起于跟中，由少阴别脉然谷之穴，上内联踝，循阴股，
入胸腹，上至咽喉、睛明穴，亦会于太阳也（见图八十四）。

阴跷起于然谷穴，上行照海交信列，三穴原本足少阴，足之太阳睛明接。

条文：阴跷脉起足少阴，足内踝前然谷寻，踝下一寸照海陷，踝上二寸交信真，
目内眦外宛中取，睛明一穴甚分明。
注：[1]阴跷者，以其所行阴经，为足少阴别脉也。
[2]起于足少阴肾经，足内踝前大骨下陷中，然谷穴也。
[3]从然谷穴循内踝之下一寸，照海穴也。
[4]从照海穴不循太溪穴，又□于足内踝之上二寸直行交信穴。
[5]从交信穴上循阴股，入阴而行，上循胸里入缺盆，上出人迎之前，
入頄鼻旁，属目内眦外宛宛中睛明穴，合于太阳阳跷，上行气并相还，
则为濡目之用矣。
[6]故知阴跷脉气，若不与阳跷脉气并荣于目，则目不能合也，
此阴跷循行之经脉也（见图八十五）。

阴跷脉也起于足跟中部，是足少阴肾经的别络，沿内踝上行，沿着大腿内侧进入胸腹部，向上到达咽喉，直至睛明穴。
注：[1] 阴跷脉，也是起于足跟中部，从足少阴肾经的别脉然谷穴分出，向上向内联络内踝，沿着大腿内侧循行，进入胸腹部，向上到达咽喉和睛明穴，同时也与太阳经相交会（见图八十四）。

阴跷脉起始于然谷穴，向上经过照海、交信、列缺三穴，这三穴原本属于足少阴肾经，最后由足太阳膀胱经的睛明穴接续。
条文：阴跷脉起始于足少阴肾经，在足内踝前方寻找然谷穴，内踝下一寸处的凹陷中是照海穴，内踝上二寸处正是交信穴，
在目内眦外侧的凹陷中取穴，睛明这一穴位非常清晰明确。
注：[1] 阴跷脉，因为它所循行的路线属于阴经，是足少阴肾经的别络。
[2] 起始于足少阴肾经，在足内踝前大骨下的凹陷中，即然谷穴。
[3] 从然谷穴沿着内踝下方一寸处，是照海穴。
[4] 从照海穴不循行太溪穴，又直行至足内踝上方二寸处的交信穴。
[5] 从交信穴向上沿着大腿内侧，进入阴部而行，向上沿着胸部内部进入缺盆，向上出人迎穴之前，
进入面颊鼻旁，归属于目内眦外侧的凹陷中睛明穴，与太阳经的阳跷脉会合，向上运行气机并相互循环，
这就具有濡养眼睛的作用了。
[6] 因此知道阴跷脉的气，如果不与阳跷脉的气共同荣润于眼睛，那么眼睛就不能闭合，
这就是阴跷脉循行的经脉（见图八十五）。

《难经·二十八难》说：阳维脉和阴维脉，维系联络全身，当气血溢出蓄积不能环流时，灌注溢散于各条经脉。
所以阳维脉起始于诸阳经交会之处，阴维脉起始于诸阴经交会之处。

The Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel) also originates in the middle of the heel; it is a collateral branch of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, running along the medial malleolus upward, following the medial aspect of the thigh into the chest and abdomen, ascending to the throat, and reaching up to Jingming (BL-1).
Note: [1] The Yin Qiao Mai also originates in the middle of the heel. It branches from the collateral channel of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian at the point Rangu (KI-2), ascends and connects medially with the medial malleolus, follows the medial aspect of the thigh, enters the chest and abdomen, ascends to the throat and the point Jingming (BL-1), and also intersects with the Taiyang Bladder Meridian (see Figure 84).
Translation:
The Yin Qiao Mai originates at the point Rangu (KI-2), ascends through Zhaohai (KI-6), Jiaoxin (KI-8), and Lieque (LU-7); these three points originally belong to the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and are connected by the point Jingming (BL-1) of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian.
Translation: The Yin Qiao Mai originates from the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian; locate Rangu (KI-2) anterior to the medial malleolus on the foot; below the medial malleolus, one cun deep in the depression lies Zhaohai (KI-6); two cun above the medial malleolus is precisely Jiaoxin (KI-8);
at the outer depression lateral to the inner canthus, locate the point Jingming (BL-1), which is very distinct.
Note: [1] The Yin Qiao Mai, because its pathway belongs to the Yin meridians, is a collateral branch of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.
[2] It originates from the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, in the depression below the large bone anterior to the medial malleolus, which is the point Rangu (KI-2).
[3] From the point Rangu (KI-2), it follows one cun below the medial malleolus, where the point Zhaohai (KI-6) is located.
[4] From the point Zhaohai (KI-6), it does not follow the point Taixi (KI-3), but goes straight to the point Jiaoxin (KI-8) two cun above the medial malleolus.
[5] From the point Jiaoxin (KI-8), it ascends along the medial aspect of the thigh, enters the yin region and travels, ascends along the interior of the chest entering the Supraclavicular Fossa (Quepen), ascends anterior to the Renying (ST-9) point,
enters the cheek beside the nose, attaches to the depression lateral to the inner canthus at the point Jingming (BL-1), merges with the Yang Qiao Mai of the Taiyang Bladder Meridian; ascending and circulating qi mutually,
this serves the function of moistening the eyes.
[6] Therefore, it is known that if the Qi of the Yin Qiao Mai does not prosper together with the Qi of the Yang Qiao Mai in nourishing the eyes, then the eyes cannot close;
this is the meridian pathway of the Yin Qiao Mai (see Figure 85).
Translation:
The Twenty-Eighth Difficulty of the Nan Jing states: The Yang Wei Mai (Yang Linking Vessel) and Yin Wei Mai (Yin Linking Vessel) link and connect the body; when Qi and Blood overflow and accumulate such that they cannot circulate in a ring, they irrigate and spill into the various meridians.
Therefore, the Yang Wei Mai originates at the intersection of all Yang meridians, and the Yin Wei Mai originates at the intersection of all Yin meridians.
