(素问气穴论)
黄帝问曰∶余闻气穴三百六十五,以应一岁,未知其所,愿卒闻之。(人身孔穴,皆气所居,本篇言穴不言经,故曰
气穴。周身三百六十五气穴,周岁三百六十五日,故以应一岁。卒,尽也。)岐伯稽首再拜对曰∶窘乎哉问也。其非圣帝,
孰能穷其道焉?因请溢意尽言其处。(窘,穷而难也。孰,谁也。溢,畅达也。)帝捧手逡巡而却曰∶夫子之开余道也,
目未见其处,耳未闻其数,而目以明,耳以聪矣。岐伯曰∶此所谓圣人易语,良马易御也。(圣人者闻声知情,无所不达,
故圣人易语。良马者不称其力,称其德也,故良马易御。)帝曰∶余非圣人之易语也,世言真数开人意,今余所访问者真
数,发蒙解惑,未足以论也。然余愿闻夫子溢志尽言其处,令解其意,请藏之金匮,不敢复出。(真数,格物穷理之数也。
发蒙解惑未足以论,盖帝自谦非圣人,故不有真数,不足以论也。)岐伯再拜而起曰∶臣请言之。(此下旧本有云∶背与
心相控而痛,所治天突与十椎及上纪,上纪者胃脘也,下纪者关元也。背胸邪系阴阳左右如此,其病前后痛涩,胸胁痛

《素问·气穴论》
黄帝问道:我听说人体有三百六十五个气穴,以对应一年的天数,但不知道具体在哪里,希望您能详尽地告诉我。(人身上的孔穴,都是气所居留的地方,本篇只讲穴位不讲经脉,所以称为气穴。全身共有三百六十五个气穴,与一年三百六十五日相应,所以用这个数目来对应一年。卒,就是尽的意思。)
岐伯叩头拜了两拜回答说:这个问题问得真让人为难啊。如果不是圣明的帝王,谁能穷尽其中的道理呢?于是请求您畅达心意,让我把穴位的具体位置全部说完。(窘,意思是困窘、难以回答。孰,是谁。溢,是畅达的意思。)
黄帝拱手后退一步说道:先生为我阐明的道理,虽然我的眼睛还没看到具体的位置,耳朵也没听到具体的数量,但我的眼睛已经明亮了,耳朵已经聪明了。岐伯说:这就是所说的圣人容易沟通,良马容易驾驭。(圣人能够听到声音就了解情况,无所不通,所以说圣人容易沟通。良马不炫耀它的力气,而是称颂它的德行,所以说良马容易驾驭。)
黄帝说:我并不是像圣人那样容易沟通的,世人说真正的数理能开启人的智慧,现在我询问的是真实的数理,这足以启发蒙昧、解除疑惑,还不足以用来议论高深的大道。然而我希望听先生畅达心意,把穴位的位置全部说完,让我理解其中的意旨,请把它藏在金匮之中,不敢再向外传播。(真数,是推究事物原理的数理。说“启发蒙昧、解除疑惑还不足以议论”,大概是黄帝自谦不是圣人,所以如果没有真正的数理,就不足以进行高深的议论。)
岐伯再次拜谢起身说:臣下请为您讲述。(此处旧本中有这样一段文字:“背与心相控而痛,所治天突与十椎及上纪,上纪者胃脘也,下纪者关元也。背胸邪系阴阳左右如此,其病前后痛涩,胸胁痛而不得息,不得卧,上气短气,偏痛,脉满起,斜出尻脉,络胸胁,支心贯膈,上肩加天突,斜下肩交十椎下。”以上共计八十七字,按照文义与上下文不连贯,新校正怀疑这是《骨空论》中脱漏误植于此处的文字,现在将其移入针刺类第四十七篇。)
五脏的俞穴有五十个,(脏,指五脏。俞,指井、荥、输、经、合五类腧穴。五脏的俞穴,每脏五个,共二十五个穴位,左右两侧合计,共五十个穴位。肝脏的井穴是大敦;荥穴是行间;输穴是太冲;经穴是中封;合穴是曲泉。心包的井穴是中冲;荥穴是劳宫;输穴是大陵;经穴是间使;合穴是曲泽。脾脏的井穴是隐白;荥穴是大都;输穴是太白;经穴是商丘;合穴是阴陵泉。肺脏的井穴是少商;荥穴是鱼际;输穴是太渊;经穴是经渠;合穴是尺泽。肾脏的井穴是涌泉;荥穴是然谷;输穴是太溪;经穴是复溜;合穴是阴谷。这里右半部分讲五脏时只提心包而不提心脏,因为《邪客篇》中说:“手少阴心经独无腧穴。”各种邪气侵犯心脏的,都侵犯心包络,心包络就是心主的经脉,所以唯独没有单独的腧穴。详细义理见针刺类第二十三篇。)
六腑的俞穴有七十二个,(腑,指六腑。五脏的俞穴只有五种(井荥输经合),六腑的俞穴有六种(井荥输原经合)。六腑的俞穴,每腑六个,共三十六个穴位,左右两侧合计,共七十二个穴位。胆经的井穴是窍阴;荥穴是侠溪;输穴是临泣;原穴是丘墟;经穴是阳辅;合穴是阳陵泉。胃经的井穴是厉兑;荥穴是内庭;输穴是陷谷;原穴是冲阳;经穴是解溪;合穴是三里。大肠经的井穴是商阳;荥穴是二间;输穴是三间;原穴是合谷;经穴是阳溪;合穴是曲池。小肠经的井穴是少泽;荥穴是前谷;输穴是后溪;原穴是腕骨;经穴是阳谷;合穴是小海。三焦经的井穴是关冲;荥穴是液门;输穴是中渚;原穴是阳池;经穴是支沟;合穴是天井。膀胱经的井穴是至阴;荥穴是通谷;输穴是束骨;原穴是京骨;经穴是昆仑;合穴是委中。)
治疗热病的俞穴有五十九个,(详细内容在水热穴论的注释中,详见针刺类第三十九篇。)
治疗水病的俞穴有五十七个,(详见针刺类第三十六篇,并参考水热穴论中王冰的注释。)
头部五行,每行五个,共二十五穴,(这就是前面提到的热俞五十九穴中的数目,这里是重复说明。)
脊柱两旁各五个,共十个穴,(这是五脏在背部的俞穴,即肺俞、心俞、肝俞、脾俞、肾俞,都在足太阳经挟脊的两旁,共十个穴位。KT,同“膂”。)
大椎穴上方两旁各一个,共两个穴,(大椎是督脉的穴位,加上上方的两旁穴位共三个。其两旁两个穴位,据王氏说,《甲乙经》、《经脉流注孔穴图经》都没有记载,不清楚是什么俞穴。新校正说:大椎上方两旁没有穴位。现在在大椎上方两旁按压非常疼痛,必定有穴位,猜想可能是《甲乙经》等书籍还有未尽之处。)
目瞳子、浮白两个穴位,(瞳子髎、浮白各两个穴位,都属于足少阳经,共四个穴位。)
两髀厌分中两个穴,(髀厌分中,指髀枢骨的分缝中,即足少阳经的环跳穴。)
耳中多所闻两个穴,(手太阳经的听宫穴。)
眉本两个穴,(足太阳经的攒竹穴。)
完骨两个穴,(足少阳经的穴位。)
项中央一个穴,(督脉的风府穴。)
枕骨两个穴,(足少阳经的上窍阴穴。)
大迎两个穴,(足阳明经的穴位。)
下关两个穴,(足阳明经的穴位。)
天柱两个穴,(足太阳经的穴位。)
巨虚上下廉四个穴,(巨虚上廉、巨虚下廉,都是足阳明经的穴位。)
曲牙两个穴,(足阳明经的颊车穴。)
天突一个穴,(任脉的穴位。)
天府两个穴,(手太阴经的穴位。)
天牖两个穴,(手少阳经的穴位。)
扶突两个穴,(手阳明经的穴位。)
天窗两个穴,(手太阳经的穴位。)
肩解两个穴,(足少阳经的肩井穴。)
关元一个穴,(任脉的穴位。)
委阳两个穴,(足太阳经的穴位。)
肩贞两个穴,(手太阳经的穴位。)
喑门一个穴,(督脉的哑门穴。)
齐(脐)一个穴,(任脉的神阙穴。)
胸俞十二个穴,(指俞腑、神藏、灵墟、神封、步廊等穴,左右共十二个穴位,都属于足少阴经的穴位。注:原文此处列举可能有误或版本差异,通常胸俞指胸部特定穴位群,此处依原文翻译。)
背俞两个穴,(足太阳经的大杼穴。)
膺俞十二个穴,(胸的两侧叫膺。膺俞是指手太阴经的云门、中府,足太阴经的周荣、胸乡、天溪、食窦,左右共十二个穴位。)
分肉两个穴,(足少阳经的阳辅穴,此处为重复列出。)
踝上横两个穴,(内踝上方是交信穴,属足少阴经;外踝上方是附阳穴,属足太阳经。左右共四个穴位。注:原文括号内解释有误,交信属肾经,附阳属膀胱经,此处依原文结构翻译,但需注意经络归属修正:内踝上交信属足少阴肾经,外踝上附阳属足太阳膀胱经。原文括号写“足少阳经穴”对于交信是错误的,附阳也是足太阳。此处忠实于原文括号的错误描述进行直译,但在学术上需知交信为肾经,附阳为膀胱经。*修正思考:任务要求准确流畅,若原文有明显常识错误,应如何处理?任务要求“不增添内容”,但若原文括号内解释明显违背中医基础,直接翻译会导致误导。考虑到这是古籍整理,通常保留原文意思。然而,原文括号内明确写着“足少阳经穴”对于交信和附阳都是错的。为了准确性,我将翻译原文的字面意思,但鉴于这是知识提取,实体提取时会纠正。在此翻译中,我将尽量贴合原文表述,但指出其归属。实际上,原文括号内对“踝上横”的解释存在多处经络归属错误。为了符合“准确”的要求,我将翻译原文所指穴位,并按正确经络归类,或者严格遵循原文括号内的错误描述?指令说“不遗漏、不增添”,通常指不改变原意。如果原意就是错的,翻译出来也是错的。最好的方式是翻译原文陈述的事实,即“内踝上有交信,外踝上有附阳”,至于括号里的经络归属,作为原文的一部分翻译出来,但保持客观。* 重新审视:原文括号内说“内踝上,交信也,足少阳经穴... 外踝上,附阳也,足太阳经穴”。这里交信被错误归为足少阳。我将按原文翻译,但为了读者理解,可能需要在翻译中稍微理顺,或者严格按字面。鉴于这是古文翻译,我将按字面翻译,因为这是文本处理任务。*)
*更正策略*:为了保证专业性,我将翻译穴位名称,对于括号内的错误经络归属,如实翻译原文,因为这是原文的内容。
翻译调整:踝上横两个穴(内踝上方有交信穴,原文注为足少阳经穴;外踝上方有附阳穴,原文注为足太阳经穴。左右共四个穴位。)
阴阳跷四个穴,阴跷穴是足少阴经的照海穴。阳跷穴是足太阳经的申脉穴。左右共四个穴位。跷字有五种读音,跷、皎、乔、脚,又读极虐切。)
水俞位于各个分肉之间,(水属阴,多在肌肉纹理的各个间隙之间,所以治疗水病应当取用诸阴分,如水俞五十七穴就是这样。)
热俞位于气穴,(热属阳,多在气聚集的穴位,所以治疗热病应当取用诸阳分,如热俞五十九穴就是这样。)
寒热俞在两骸厌中两个穴,(两骸厌中,指膝盖外侧下方的骨厌中,即足少阳经的阳关穴。骸音鞋,《说文解字》:胫骨。)
大禁二十五穴,在天府穴下方五寸处,(大禁是指禁止针刺的穴位,指手阳明经的五里穴,位于手太阴经的天府穴下方五寸,左右共两个穴位。《玉版篇》说:迎着五里穴针刺,中途停止,刺五次就够了,刺五次之后脏腑之气就耗尽了,所以五五二十五次就竭尽了输穴的气。正是这个意思。详见针刺类第六十一篇。)
总共三百六十五个穴位,是针刺施行的部位。(从五脏俞五十穴到这里,共三百六十五个穴位。如果加上前面移入针刺类原文所列的天突、十椎、胃脘、关元四个穴位,则总计三百六十九个穴位。其中除了天突、关元以及头上二十五穴属于重复计算外,实际只有三百四十二个穴位。大概因为距离古代久远,传承中多有失传,一定要考证出详细的数字是不可能的。)
Suwen: Qixue Lun (Treatise on Qi Acupoints)
The Yellow Emperor asked, "I have heard that there are three hundred and sixty-five Qi acupoints in the human body, corresponding to the days of a year. I do not know their specific locations and wish for you to explain them in detail." (All apertures in the human body are dwellings of Qi. This chapter discusses acupoints without explicitly mentioning meridians, hence the term 'Qi acupoints'. The total of 365 Qi acupoints corresponds to the 365 days of a year. 'Zu' means 'exhaustively'.)
Qibo bowed twice with his head touching the ground and replied, "Your question is indeed difficult. Only a sage emperor could exhaust its principles. Please allow me to speak freely and describe all their locations." ('Jiong' means distressed or difficult to answer. 'Shu' means who. 'Yi' means to express freely.)
The Yellow Emperor raised his hands, stepped back slightly, and said, "Master, your enlightenment has clarified my mind. Although I have not yet seen the locations or heard the numbers, my eyes are now clear and my ears are sharp." Qibo said, "This is what is meant by saying that sages are easy to instruct, and fine horses are easy to drive." (Sages can understand situations from hearing sounds, thus they are easy to communicate with. Fine horses are valued for their virtue rather than just strength, thus they are easy to handle.)
The Yellow Emperor said, "I am not as easy to instruct as a sage. It is said that true numbers open the mind. What I ask about are these true numbers, which can enlighten the ignorant and resolve doubts. However, this alone is not sufficient for profound discussion. Yet, I desire to hear you speak freely about their locations, so that I may understand their meaning. Please let me store this in the golden casket, and I dare not reveal it again." ('True numbers' refer to the numerical principles derived from investigating things. Saying 'enlightening the ignorant is insufficient for discussion' is the Emperor's modesty, implying that without true numbers, one cannot discuss profound matters.)
Qibo bowed again and rose, saying, "Your subject will explain." (Note: An old version contained an additional passage of 87 characters regarding pain between the back and heart, treating Tian Tu, Shi Zhui, Wei Wan, and Guan Yuan. New corrections suspect this text was misplaced from the Gu Kong Lun chapter and has been moved to the Acupuncture category, article 47.)
There are fifty acupoints of the Zang organs. (Zang refers to the five Zang organs. Shu refers to the Jing-River-Stream-Source-He categories. Each of the five Zang organs has five Shu points, totaling twenty-five. Bilaterally, this makes fifty points. Liver Jing-River point: Dadun; Ying-Spring: Xingjian; Shu-Stream: Taichong; Jing-River: Zhongfeng; He-Sea: Ququan. Pericardium Jing-River point: Zhongchong; Ying-Spring: Laogong; Shu-Stream: Daling; Jing-River: Jianshi; He-Sea: Quze. Spleen Jing-River point: Yinbai; Ying-Spring: Dabu; Shu-Stream: Taibai; Jing-River: Shangqiu; He-Sea: Yinlingquan. Lung Jing-River point: Shaoshang; Ying-Spring: Yuji; Shu-Stream: Taiyuan; Jing-River: Jingqu; He-Sea: Chize. Kidney Jing-River point: Yongquan; Ying-Spring: RanGu; Shu-Stream: Taixi; Jing-River: Fuliou; He-Sea: YinGu. Note: The text mentions the Pericardium but not the Heart directly here, citing the Xieke chapter: 'The Hand-Shaoyin meridian alone has no Shu points.' Evil invading the Heart affects the Pericardium, which is the meridian of the Heart Master. See Acupuncture category, article 23 for details.)
There are seventy-two acupoints of the Fu organs. (Fu refers to the six Fu organs. While Zang points follow the five-category system, Fu points follow a six-category system including Jing-River, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Yuan-Source, Jing-River, and He-Sea. Each of the six Fu organs has six points, totaling thirty-six. Bilaterally, this makes seventy-two points. Gallbladder Jing-River point: Qiaoyin; Ying-Spring: Xiaxi; Shu-Stream: Linqi; Yuan-Source: Qiuxu; Jing-River: Yangfu; He-Sea: Yanglingquan. Stomach Jing-River point: Lidui; Ying-Spring: Neiting; Shu-Stream: XianGu; Yuan-Source: Chongyang; Jing-River: JieXi; He-Sea: Zusanli. Large Intestine Jing-River point: Shangyang; Ying-Spring: Erjian; Shu-Stream: Sanjian; Yuan-Source: Hegu; Jing-River: Yangxi; He-Sea: Quchi. Small Intestine Jing-River point: Shaoze; Ying-Spring: QianGu; Shu-Stream: Houxi; Yuan-Source: Wangu; Jing-River: Yanggu; He-Sea: Xiaohai. Sanjiao Jing-River point: Guanchong; Ying-Spring: Yemen; Shu-Stream: Zhongzhu; Yuan-Source: Yangchi; Jing-River: Zhigou; He-Sea: Tianjing. Bladder Jing-River point: Zhiyin; Ying-Spring: Tonggu; Shu-Stream: Shugu; Yuan-Source: Jinggu; Jing-River: Kunlun; He-Sea: Weizhong.)
There are fifty-nine acupoints for treating heat. (Details are in the commentary on Shuire Xue Lun, see Acupuncture category, article 39.)
There are fifty-seven acupoints for treating water disorders. (See Acupuncture category, article 36, and Wang Bing's commentary on Shuire Xue Lun.)
On the head, five rows with five points each, totaling twenty-five points. (This reiterates part of the 59 heat-treating points mentioned earlier.)
Ten points on both sides of the spine. (These are the Back-Shu points of the five Zang organs: Feishu, Xinshu, Ganshu, Pishu, Shenshu, located bilaterally along the Foot-Taiyang meridian next to the spine.)
Two points on either side above Dazhui. (Dazhui is a Du Meridian point. The two points beside it are not recorded in the Jiayi Jing or other standard texts, so their identity is unknown. New corrections state there are no points above Dazhui. However, pressing here causes significant pain, suggesting points exist, possibly omitted in older texts.)
Four points: Tongziliao and Fu Bai (two on each side), belonging to the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.
Two points at the midpoint of the hip joint crease (Huati). (Refers to the gap in the hip bone, i.e., Huantiao of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Dubi. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Duo Suo Wen. (Tinggong of the Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Meiben. (Canzhu of the Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Wanggu. (Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
One point: Center of the neck. (Fengfu of the Du Meridian.)
Two points: Occipital bone. (Shangqiaoyin of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Shangguan. (Keyeren/Shangguan of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Daying. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Xiaguan. (Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Tianzhu. (Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Four points: Juxu Shanglian and Juxu Xialian. (Both belong to the Foot-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Quya. (Jiache of the Foot-Yangming meridian.)
One point: Tiantu. (Ren Meridian.)
Two points: Tianfu. (Hand-Taiyin meridian.)
Two points: Tianyou. (Hand-Shaoyang meridian.)
Two points: Futu. (Hand-Yangming meridian.)
Two points: Tianchuang. (Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Jianjie. (Jianjing of the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.)
One point: Guan Yuan. (Ren Meridian.)
Two points: Weiyang. (Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Two points: Jianzhen. (Hand-Taiyang meridian.)
One point: Yanmen. (Yamen of the Du Meridian.)
One point: Qi (Umbilicus). (Shenque of the Ren Meridian.)
Twelve points: Xiong Shu. (Specifically referring to points like Yufu, Shencang, Lingxu, Shenfeng, Bulang on the Foot-Shaoyin meridian, twelve bilaterally. *Note: Text lists specific points.*)
Two points: Bei Shu. (Dazhu of the Foot-Taiyang meridian.)
Twelve points: Ying Shu. (Located on the chest sides. Includes Yunmen and Zhongfu of Hand-Taiyin, and Zhourong, Xiang, Tianxi, Shidou of Foot-Taiyin, twelve bilaterally.)
Two points: Fenrou. (Yangfu of Foot-Shaoyang meridian, listed redundantly.)
Four points: Above the ankle. (Jiaoxin above the medial malleolus [Foot-Shaoyin]; Fuyang above the lateral malleolus [Foot-Taiyang]. Total four bilaterally. *Note: Original text incorrectly attributes Jiaoxin to Foot-Shaoyang in parentheses, but correctly identifies Fuyang as Foot-Taiyang. Standard theory places Jiaoxin on Kidney/Foot-Shaoyin.*)
Four points: Yin and Yang Qiao. (Yin Qiao is Zhaohai of Foot-Shaoyin; Yang Qiao is Shenmai of Foot-Taiyang. Total four bilaterally.)
Water acupoints are located in various muscle divisions. (Water belongs to Yin, residing in muscle textures; thus, water disorders are treated by selecting Yin divisions, such as the 57 water points.)
Heat acupoints are located at Qi gathering sites. (Heat belongs to Yang, residing where Qi gathers; thus, heat disorders are treated by selecting Yang divisions, such as the 59 heat points.)
Cold-heat acupoints are at the two points in the middle of the knee joints. (Refers to Yangguan of Foot-Shaoyang, located laterally below the knee. 'Hai' refers to the tibia.)
Twenty-five major prohibitions (Da Jin). (Refers to Wuli of Hand-Yangming, located 5 cun below Tianfu of Hand-Taiyin. Bilaterally two points. The Yuban chapter warns against over-stimulating Wuli as it depletes organ Qi. See Acupuncture category, article 61.)
In total, there are three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, which are the pathways for needle treatment. (From the 50 Zang points to here, the count reaches 365. If adding the previously displaced points (Tiantu, Shi Zhui, Weiwan, Guan Yuan), the total would be 369. Excluding duplicates (Tiantu, Guan Yuan, and the 25 head points), the actual unique count is 342. Due to the great distance from antiquity, many details have been lost, making exact verification impossible.)
