长强穴:(原文此处仅有穴名,无具体描述,故略过翻译其描述部分,仅保留穴名位置隐含信息,但根据格式要求,若无描述则不产生对应译文段落,此处依原文结构,长强穴后直接接膏肓俞描述,故长强穴本身无正文描述需翻译,或者“溺脊”实为长强穴描述的一部分?经查《外台秘要》原文,长强穴描述通常在后,此处文本似乎将腰俞与长强混淆或排版断裂。根据提供的文本,“溺脊”二字突兀,且长强穴无描述。为忠实于提供文本,若“溺脊”属于前文腰俞的延续或独立残缺句,暂按文本字面处理。但仔细看,“溺脊”后紧接“长强”,再后是“膏肓俞”。通常长强有描述。此处假设“溺脊”为腰俞穴症状的残留或误植。鉴于任务要求逐句对照,我将把“溺脊”视为腰俞穴描述的结尾部分或独立短句处理,但语义不通。重新审视:原文可能是“...不可俯仰...溺...”。此处文本截断严重。为了准确性,我将翻译可见部分。)
*修正*:仔细核对文本,“溺脊”二字极可能是“长强”穴描述的开头被错误前置到了腰俞之后,或者是腰俞穴症状“溺”(小便)和“脊”(脊柱)的残留。由于长强穴后直接是膏肓俞的描述,中间没有长强的正文。因此,本段只翻译腰俞及其后的残句。
膏肓俞穴:主治无所不治,诸般羸弱瘦损、虚劳、梦中遗精、气逆咳嗽、狂惑妄动。取穴方法:先令患者正坐,弯曲脊柱,伸直双手,将手臂靠在膝盖前,使手臂正直,手的大拇指与膝头齐平,用物体支撑肘部,不要使手臂移动。从肩甲骨的上角摸索到肩甲骨的下端,其间应当有四根肋骨、三个间隙,在中间的间隙处,依据肩甲骨的边缘向内一寸许(容侧指许),摩擦探查肋间空处,按压时自觉有牵引感至肩部,在此处每侧各灸一处,灸量达六百壮,多则千壮。当感觉到下方有水流动的声音,也应有邪气排出。停痰宿疾则无所不下。如果患者已困倦不能正坐,可令其侧卧,挽起上臂向前取穴。求穴的大致方法是:用右手从左肩上方按住,手指所不及的地方即是;左手亦然,然后用前述方法施灸。如果不能久坐伸两臂者,也可俯卧在衣物上,伸直两臂,让人挽起两肩甲骨使其分开,否则肩甲骨会覆盖穴位而无法找到。所俯卧的衣物应当大小固定不变,否则前后移动就会失去穴位。此穴灸完后,令人阳气旺盛,应当消除疾病。
(论曰昔者和缓不救晋侯之疾以其在膏之上肓之下针药所不能及即此穴是也人不能求得 此穴所以宿病难遣若能用心此方便求得灸之无疾不愈出第三十卷中)
论述说:从前名医和缓未能治愈晋侯的疾病,因为他的病位在膏之上、肓之下,针刺和药物都无法到达,就是指的这个穴位。人们不能求得此穴,所以旧病难以祛除。如果能用心通过上述简便方法求得此穴并施灸,则无病不愈。出自第三十卷中。

Indications: Epilepsy, rage with desire to kill, high fever, manic running, delirious speech, hallucinations of seeing ghosts, convulsions.
(Zhi Yang) Located in the gap below the fifth thoracic vertebra, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Positioning: Flex the body to locate. Moxibustion: three moxa cones. Indications: Fever, headache, alternating chills and fever like malaria, mental confusion, sadness, and sorrow.
(Jin Suo) Located in the gap below the seventh thoracic vertebra, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Positioning: Flex the body to locate. Moxibustion: three moxa cones. Indications: Chills and fever, aching limbs, soreness in the calves, heaviness and pain in the four limbs, shortness of breath, difficulty speaking.
(Ji Zhong) Located in the gap below the ninth thoracic vertebra, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Positioning: Flex the body to locate. Moxibustion: three moxa cones. Indications: Pediatric fright epilepsy, convulsions, manic running, epilepsy, spinal rigidity, upward deviation of the eyes.
(Xuan Shu) Located in the gap below the eleventh thoracic vertebra, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Moxibustion: Contraindicated. Indications: Abdominal fullness, inability to eat, stiffness of the waist and spine, inability to bend or extend, jaundice.
(Ming Men) Also known as Shu Lei. Located in the gap below the fourteenth thoracic vertebra, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Positioning: Prone position. Moxibustion: three moxa cones. Indications: Headache as if splitting, body heat like fire, absence of sweating, epilepsy with convulsions, pain radiating between the waist and abdomen.
(Yao Shu) Also known as Bei Jie, Sui Kong, Yao Zhu, Yao Hu. Located in the gap below the twenty-first thoracic vertebra. Moxibustion: three moxa cones. Indications: Lower back pain radiating to the lower abdomen, urinary incontinence, difficulty bending the spine.
(Gao Huang Shu) Indications: Treats all conditions; emaciation, wasting syndromes, deficiency exhaustion, nocturnal emission, rebellious Qi with coughing, mania, confusion, and erratic behavior. Method for locating the acupoint: First, have the patient sit upright, curve the spine, extend both hands, and place the arms against the knees so that they are straight. The thumb should align with the knee cap. Support the elbow with an object to prevent movement. From the upper angle of the scapula, feel down to the lower end. There should be four ribs and three intervals in between. Moxa at the middle interval, approximately one finger-width inside the edge of the scapula. Rub and palpate the empty space between the ribs; when pressure elicits a sensation of traction towards the shoulder, this is the spot. Apply moxibustion at one point on each side, totaling six hundred cones, up to one thousand cones. One should feel water flowing underneath, and pathogenic factors may be expelled. Stagnant phlegm and chronic diseases will be thoroughly treated. If the patient is too weak to sit upright, have them lie on their side, pull the upper arm forward to locate the point. Generally, use the right hand to press from the left shoulder; the area unreachable by the fingers is the location. The same applies to the left side. Use the aforementioned method for moxibustion. If the patient cannot sit long or extend arms, they may lie prone on a cloth of fixed size, extending arms while someone pulls the scapulae apart; otherwise, the scapulae will cover the point. After moxibustion, the patient's Yang Qi will become robust, eliminating disease.
Commentary: In ancient times, He Huan could not cure the Marquis of Jin because his disease was located above the Gao and below the Huang, beyond the reach of needles and herbs. This refers to this acupoint. People fail to locate this point, hence chronic diseases are hard to dispel. If one pays attention and uses this convenient method to locate and moxa it, no disease will remain uncured. (From Volume 30).
Sanjiao Ren (Sanjiao Shu): Sanjiao is a Fu organ; there are fifty-eight acupoints on both sides.
