渊液穴，左右各一穴。位于腋下三寸处的凹陷中。举起手臂即可找到此穴。禁止施灸。若误灸，不幸会导致患者生发“马疡”（一种严重的皮肤溃疡或恶疮）。若内部溃烂则致死。若是因寒热引起的马疡尚可治疗。针刺深度为三分。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：主治胸中无力、手臂无法抬起。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：又名泉液穴，归属于胆经。
辄筋穴，左右各一穴。位于腋下三寸处，再向前一寸的胁肋起始部。艾灸三壮。针刺深度为六分。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：足少阳胆经脉气所发之处。主治胸中突然胀满、不能平卧、喘息（另有说法）。
天池穴，左右各一穴。又名天会穴。位于乳头后方一寸、腋下三寸处，紧贴胁肋，直对腋窝，在肋骨间隙之间。艾灸三壮。针刺深度三分。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：手厥阴心包经与足少阳胆经的交会穴。主治寒热、胸膈烦闷胀满、头痛、四肢无法抬起、腋下肿胀、气逆咳嗽、胸中有声响、喉中鸣响。《明堂经》记载：主治寒热疟疾、热病汗不出（归属于心包经）。
大包穴，左右各一穴。位于渊液穴下方三寸处。是脾脏的大络脉，分布于胸胁之中，出于第九肋骨间隙。艾灸三壮。针刺深度三分。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：主治腹中有大气（指邪气积聚）、呼吸困难、胸胁疼痛。实证则全身寒冷，虚证则全身关节松弛无力（归属于脾经）。
鸠尾穴，只有一个。又名尾翳穴，又名骨骺穴。位于胸前蔽骨（剑突）下方五分处。不可施灸。若灸之，令人终生心力不足。此穴极难针刺，只有技艺高超的医生方可下针。否则，取气过多，会使人折寿。针刺深度三分。留针三个呼吸的时间。行泻法时配合五个吸气。肥胖者加倍。《明堂经》记载：在蔽骨下方五分处的凹陷中。艾灸三壮。主治心惊悸、神气耗散、癫痫狂症、言语错乱无章。《素问》注云：不可施灸和针刺。没有蔽骨的人，从歧骨际向下行一寸取穴。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：主治心风惊痫发作癫狂，症状如鸟鸣声，破心吐血，心中气闷，不喜欢听人说话，心腹胀满、胸中胀满，咳逆频繁打嗝，喘息，喉痹咽壅，水浆难以下咽。禁忌同前法。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：禁灸（归属于任脉）。
巨阙穴，只有一个。是心脏的募穴。位于鸠尾穴下一寸。取鸠尾与巨阙之间的穴位时，稍微用力使肌肉紧绷一寸来定位。针刺深度六分。留针七个呼吸的时间。得气后即行泻法。可艾灸七壮，最多不超过四十九壮。《明堂经》记载：在鸠尾下一寸处的凹陷中。主治心痛难以忍受，呕血，心烦，膈中不利，胸胁支撑胀满，霍乱吐泻不止，困顿昏迷不知人事。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：任脉气所发之处。主治心中烦闷胀满，热病，胸中痰饮，腹胀暴痛，恍惚不知人事，息贲症时常唾血，蛔虫心痛，蛊毒霍乱，发狂不识人，惊悸气短。又说：主治热风痫。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：主治风癫胡言乱语，或发出鸟鸣声，不能进食，心力不足。凡心痛有数种：冷痛、蛔虫心痛、蛊毒、霍乱不识人，以及腹中胀满暴痛、出汗及手脚冰凉手臂无法抬起。禁忌同上。
上脘穴（一作管），只有一个。位于巨阙穴下一寸。正当距离蔽骨一寸的位置（《明堂经》记载距离巨骨三寸）。针刺入八分。先补后泻，效果神验。如果是风痫热病，宜先泻后补，立愈。每日艾灸十四壮，直至一百壮，若未愈，加倍施灸。禁忌同上。《明堂下经》记载：艾灸三壮。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：任脉、足阳明胃经、手太阳小肠经的交会穴。主治心中热烦，奔豚气胀满不能进食，霍乱吐利，身热汗不出，三焦多涎，心常惊悸，心痛难以忍受，伏梁气状如倒扣的杯子。林又云主治霍乱心痛不能眠卧，心中闷发哕逆。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：距离鸠尾三寸。《明堂经》记载：主治呕吐饮食不下，胸胀气满，心慌惊悸，时常吐呕血，腹内刺痛。
中脘穴，只有一个。又名太仓穴。是胃的募穴。在上腕下一寸。“上纪”指的就是中脘穴。针刺八分。留针七个呼吸的时间。行泻法配合五个吸气。快速出针。艾灸十四壮，最多一百壮。禁忌同上。《明堂经》记载：每日艾灸十四壮，最多四百壮（《千金方》记载：又名胃募，在心下四寸，胃管下一寸）。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：手太阳小肠经、足阳明胃经所发之处，任脉的交会穴。主治心下胀满，伤饱食不化，霍乱，吐泻，不自知，心痛，温疟，伤寒，饮水过多，腹胀气喘，因读书过度导致贲豚气上攻，伏梁心下闷状如覆杯，寒癖结气。忌食猪鱼生冷酒面等物。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：主治心匿不能食，反胃霍乱，心痛，热瘟，疟疾，天行传染病，伤寒，腹中热，喜渴涎出是蛔虫。以手聚而按之坚持，以及腹胀不通，大便坚硬，忧思损伤，气积聚，以及腹中痛甚作脓肿，往来上下，胁下坚痛，鼻间焦臭头热，鼻衄，伤寒伤饱，食饮不化，目黄振寒，以及冲疝胃痛，死不知人。以及治疗背与心相按而痛。《资生经》记载：王氏说，按《气穴论》注云：中脘位于心蔽骨与脐的中点。刺入一寸二分，与《铜人经》稍有差异，宜遵从《铜人经》较为稳妥。所谓“胃之募”，大概是因为饮食蓄积于此。我曾苦于脾痛，曾灸此穴，感觉冷气从两胁下而上至灸处即散，这是艾灸的功效。此后频繁灸此穴，也常教人灸此穴。凡是脾疼不可忍受，饮食全不进者，都适宜灸此穴（《难经疏》：府会太仓，府病治此，在心下三寸）。
建里穴，只有一个。位于中脘穴下一寸。针刺五分。留针十个呼吸的时间。艾灸五壮。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：主治心下痛，不欲食，呕逆上气，腹胀身肿。又说：主治肠中疼痛，针刺入一寸二分，艾灸也良好。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：在中脘下一寸二分。不可施灸。
下脘穴，只有一个。在建里穴下一寸。针刺八分。留针三个呼吸的时间。行泻法配合五个吸气。艾灸十四壮，最多二百壮。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：足太阴脾经与任脉的交会穴。主治腹痛，六腑之气寒，谷食不转，不嗜食，小便赤，腹坚硬，癖块，脐上脉厥气动，日渐羸瘦。针刺入八分，艾灸也佳。又说：主治腹胃不调，腹内痛不能食，肠坚腹胃胀。
水分穴，只有一个。在下脘穴下一寸，脐上一寸。针刺八分。留针三个呼吸的时间。行泻法配合五个吸气。若是水病，艾灸效果极大良。可灸七壮，最多一百壮。禁止针刺。若针刺导致水尽即毙（一说：在凹陷中）。《明堂经》记载：水分穴若是水病，艾灸效果极大良。每日灸七壮，最多四百壮。针刺五分，留三呼（又说：水气难得针，针水分穴，水尽即死。又说可针，如今不如以不针为好）。又说：主治水气浮肿，鼓胀，肠鸣如雷，鼓声时上冲心。每日灸三壮，四天止。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：任脉气之所发。主治腹坚如鼓，水肿肠鸣，胃虚胀，不嗜食，绕脐痛冲胸不得息。又说：一名分水。主治腹痛不能食，肠坚腹肿，胃管不调，坚硬。《资生经》记载：《明堂经》云：若是水病，艾灸之大良。针刺入五分。而《铜人经》云：若是水病，艾灸之大良，禁不可针。针水尽即毙。这是又不可针了。恐怕世人只知道《明堂经》的可针，不知道《铜人经》的不可针。于是书写此文以示世医。按水分穴，仍以不进针为宜。
神阙穴，只有一个。又名气合穴。当脐中。灸百壮。禁止针刺。禁忌同上。《素问》注云：禁刺。刺之使人脐中恶，肠溃矢出者死，不可治。灸三壮。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载：主治泻利不止，小儿奶利不绝，腹大绕脐痛，水肿鼓胀，肠中鸣，状如流水声，久冷伤惫。可灸百壮。禁止不可针。谨慎如常法。《西方子明堂灸经》记载：小儿灸五壮，最多七壮。《资生经》记载：脐中，《千金》等经不言禁灸，只言禁针。《铜人经》云：宜灸百壮。近世名医，遇人中风不省人事，急灸脐中皆有效。徐洄溪卒中不省，得桃源簿为灸脐中，百壮始苏。更数月，乃不起。郑纠云：有一亲人，卒中风，医者为之灸五百壮而苏。后年余八十。假使徐洄溪灸至三百壮，怎知他不长寿呢（论神阙穴多灸极是）。
阴交穴，只有一个。又名横户穴。《素问》云：在脐下一寸。针刺八分。得气即泻。灸百壮止。《明堂经》云：灸不及针。每日三七壮，最多百壮。《西方子明堂灸经》云：《明堂经》云：每日灸三七壮，最多七百壮。主治脐下热，小便赤，气痛，状如刀搅，作块状，如覆杯。妇人月脉断绝，月事不调，带下崩中，因产后恶露不止，绕脐冷痛，如脏腑游气，以及脐下痛。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》云：任脉气所发。治寒疝，引少腹痛，腰膝拘挛，腹满，女人月事不绝。针刺入八分，得气即泻。泻后宜补。灸亦得。然不及针。
气海穴，只有一个。又名脖胢穴，又名下肓穴。在脐下一寸半的凹陷中。针刺八分。得气即泻。泻后宜补之。灸百壮。今附气海者，是男子生气之海也。治脏气虚惫，贲气不足，一切气疾，久不瘥皆灸之。《明堂经》云：灸七壮。主冷病面黑，肌体羸瘦，四肢力弱，小腹气积聚贲豚，腹坚脱阳欲死，不知人，五脏气逆上攻也。《西方子明堂灸经》云：主少腹疝气，游行五脏，腹中切痛，及惊不得卧。主冷气冲心，妇人恶露不止，绕脐痛，气结成块，状如覆杯，小便赤涩。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》云：任脉气所发。治脐下冷痛，及妇人月事不调，带下崩中。慎如常法。《资生经》云：此经以气海为生气之海，《难经疏》以为元气之海，则气海者，盖人之元气所生也。故柳公度曰：吾养生气无他术，但不使元气作喜怒，使气海常温尔。今人既不能不以元气作喜怒矣。若能时灸气海使温，亦其次也。王氏曰：余旧多病，常苦气短。医者教灸气海，气遂不促。自是每岁须一二次灸之，则以气怯故也。

I once suffered spleen pain; after moxibustion on this point, cold Qi rose from both hypochondria and dispersed at the site, demonstrating the efficacy of moxibustion. Since then, I frequently moxa this point and advise others to do so.

Thus, it should not be needled. Fear that people only know *Mingtang Jing* allows needling, but not *Tongren Jing* prohibits it. Therefore, this text is written to show physicians. Regarding Shuifen, avoiding needling is still the best approach.
Shenque (1 point) Also known as Qi He. Located at the center of the umbilicus. Moxibustion: 100 cones. Acupuncture is prohibited. Contraindications are the same. *Suwen* commentary states: Prohibited to needle. Needling causes evil in the umbilicus; if intestines rupture and feces exit, it is fatal and untreatable.

Zheng Jiu stated: A relative suffered sudden stroke; the physician moxa 500 cones, and he recovered. He lived to over 80 years old.

Precautions follow standard methods. *Zisheng Jing* states: This classic regards Qihai as the sea of generating Qi. *Nanjing Shu* regards it as the sea of Yuan Qi. Thus, Qihai is where human Yuan Qi is generated. Liu Gongdu said: My method for nourishing generating Qi is simple: do not let Yuan Qi be stirred by joy or anger, keep Qihai warm. Since modern people cannot avoid emotional stirring of Yuan Qi, regularly moxa Qihai to keep it warm is a secondary method. Wang Shi said: I used to be sick often, suffering from shortness of breath. The physician advised moxaing Qihai, and my breathing normalized. Since then, I moxa it once or twice a year due to Qi timidity.
Shimen (1 point) Also known as Li Ji, also known as Jing Lu. Located 2 cun below the umbilicus. Moxibustion is effective. Moxibustion: 14 cones, maximum 100 cones. Women should not be needled.

Physicians mistakenly equated Shimen with Tiantan, thinking Tiantan was 3 cun below the umbilicus. *Nanjing Shu* discusses this in detail and provides evidence; *Nanjing Shu* should be considered correct. *Tongren Jing* states: Needling causes sterility. *Qianjin* states: Moxibustion causes sterility.
