胃经的井穴是厉兑,属于足阳明胃经。荣穴是内庭,俞穴是陷谷(原文作“陷骨”,据《灵枢》及中医常识校正为陷谷),原穴是冲阳,经穴是解溪,合穴是足三里。
胆经的井穴是窍阴,属于足少阳胆经。荣穴是侠溪,俞穴是临泣,原穴是丘墟,经穴是阳辅,合穴是阳陵泉。
膀胱经的井穴是至阴,属于足太阳膀胱经。荣穴是通谷,俞穴是束骨,原穴是京骨,经穴是昆仑,合穴是委中。
脾经的井穴是隐白,属于足太阴脾经。荣穴是大都,俞穴是太白,原穴是公孙,经穴是商丘,合穴是阴陵泉。
肝经的井穴是大敦,属于足厥阴肝经。荣穴是行间,俞穴是太冲,原穴是中封,经穴也是中封(注:此处原文可能有误或特指,通常经穴为中都,但依原文翻译),合穴是曲泉。
肾经的井穴是涌泉,属于足少阴肾经。荣穴是然谷,俞穴是太溪,原穴是水泉,经穴是复溜,合穴是阴谷。
应当每脏旁边参照查看。从肾脏到天井穴,三焦经的出入与胃腑相通,都是仿照这个规律。
凡是五脏六腑的变化无穷无尽,分散在诸条经脉之中,其中的道理隐秘难明,很难完全知晓。现在编纂节选传授,作为旁通之法,让学习的人稍微留意推求寻究,就能轻易明白了。
假如肝、心、脾、肺、肾称为脏,那么胆、小肠、胃、大肠、膀胱称为腑。足少阴经是肾经,足太阳经是膀胱经。下至五脏、五果、五菜,都可以类推扩充。其他的都仿照这个规律。
五脏:肝、心、脾、肺、肾。
六腑:胆、小肠、胃、大肠、膀胱、三焦(三焦有经无脏)。
五脏经:足厥阴经、手少阴经、足太阴经、手太阴经、足少阴经。
六腑经:足少阳经、手太阳经、足阳明经、手阳明经、足太阳经、手少阳经。
五行:木、火、土、金、水(以上各主一脏)。
五行数:三、八;二、七;五、十;四、九;一、六(以上五行数,用来配合五脏)。
五行色:青、赤、黄、白、黑(以上五行色,对应五脏的象征)。
五行相生:水生木,木生火,火生土,土生金,金生水(以上为五脏相生顺序)。
五行相克:金克木,木克土,土克水,水克火,火克金。
五脏胎月:八月(肺)、十一月(肾)、正月(肝)、二月(肝/春)、五月(心)(这些月份不宜针刺、催吐、泻下)。
*注:原文“五脏胎月”对应的具体脏腑在文中未明确标注,仅列出月份及禁忌,此处直译月份及括号内说明。根据中医理论通常对应:秋三月属金/肺,冬三月属水/肾,春三月属木/肝,夏三月属火/心。原文列举顺序可能与常规不同,依原文翻译。*
修正理解:原文列举为“八月、十一月、正月、二月、五月”。通常八月秋属金,十一月冬属水,正月二月春属木,五月夏属火。此处依原文罗列。
五脏相月:冬三月(木相),春三月(火相),夏三月(土相),季夏六月(金相),秋三月(水相)(这些月份并不适宜补养)。
五脏王月:春三月,夏三月,季夏六月,秋三月,冬三月(如果有疾病可以宣泄治疗)。
五脏废月:夏三月(木废),季夏六月(火废),秋三月(土废),冬三月(金废),春三月(水废,宜补忌泄)。
五脏囚月:季夏六月(木囚),秋三月(火囚),冬三月(土囚),春三月(金囚),夏三月(水囚,宜补忌泄)。

五脏王日:甲乙、丙丁、戊己、庚辛、壬癸(以上日子不灸、不服药)。
五脏王时:寅时至辰时,巳时至未时,申时至戌时,亥时至丑时(以上时辰不灸)。

五脏困时:食时(天色昏暗,土也),晡时(日落,金也),人定(夜半,水也),平旦(日出,木也),禺中(日中,火也,宜补养)。
五脏忌日:庚辛、壬癸、甲乙、丙丁、戊己(并忌讳在这些日子得病)。
五脏忌时:申时至酉时,亥时至子时,寅时至卯时,巳时至午时,辰戌丑未时(并忌讳在这些时辰得病)。
五时:春、夏、季夏、秋、冬。
五音:角(六十四系),徵(五十四系),宫(八十一系),商(七十一系),羽(十八系,以上象征五行应五脏)。
五星:岁星(东方),荧惑(南方),镇星(中央),太白(西方),辰星(北方,以上五星,各象征一脏)。
五常:仁、义、礼、智、信(原文顺序为“仁肃、礼哲、信圣、义毅、智谋”,对应木金火水土?需仔细对照。通常仁属木,礼属火,信属土,义属金,智属水。原文顺序:仁肃(木?)、礼哲(火?)... 让我们看下文五味对应。五味酸苦甘辛咸对应木火土金水。五常通常仁义礼智信。原文:“仁肃。礼哲。信圣。义毅。智谋”。这似乎打乱了常规顺序或对应特定流派。肃属金,哲属火? 圣属土? 毅属木? 谋属水?
让我们重新审视原文逻辑:
五行:木火土金水。
五常:仁(木) 礼(火) 信(土) 义(金) 智(水)。
原文写的是:仁肃(仁属木,肃属金? 这里可能是并列属性或者排版问题)。
再看下文:
五乐:琴(木) 管(火?) 鼓(土?) 磬(金) 瑟(水?)。
五兵:矛(木) 剑(金?) ...
为了准确,我将忠实于原文文字进行翻译,并在括号内保留原文的对应关系描述。
原文:“仁肃。礼哲。信圣。义毅。智谋(各从五脏出)。”
翻译:仁与肃、礼与哲、信与圣、义与毅、智与谋(各自从五脏生出)。
*注:此处古文表述较为简略,可能意指每种德行包含两种特质,或者是对仗。按字面翻译即可。*
五乐:琴、管、鼓、磬、瑟(外象五行,内应五脏)。
五兵:矛、剑、盾、戟、弩(各应其脏)。

One should refer to each Zang organ alongside. From the Kidney to Tianjing (Tiānjīng), the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) enters and exits, connecting with the Stomach Fu organ; all follow this pattern.
The transformations of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs are infinite, scattered across the various meridians. Their principles are hidden and difficult to fully comprehend. Now, selected excerpts are compiled and transmitted as methods of collateral connection (Pangtong), so that students who pay slight attention to deducing and seeking will be able to understand them readily.
Suppose the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney are called Zang (Solid organs), then the Gallbladder, Small Intestine, Stomach, Large Intestine, and Bladder are called Fu (Hollow organs). The Foot-Shaoyin Meridian is the Kidney Meridian, and the Foot-Taiyang Meridian is the Bladder Meridian. This extends down to the Five Zang, Five Fruits, and Five Vegetables, allowing for analogical extension. Others follow this pattern.
Five Zang: Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, Kidney.
Six Fu: Gallbladder, Small Intestine, Stomach, Large Intestine, Bladder, Sanjiao (Sanjiao has meridians but no corresponding Zang organ).
Meridians of the Five Zang: Foot-Jueyin, Hand-Shaoyin, Foot-Taiyin, Hand-Taiyin, Foot-Shaoyin.
