（灵枢营气篇 全）
黄帝曰∶营气之道，内谷为实，谷入于胃，乃传之肺，流溢于中，布散于外，精专者行于经隧，常营无已，终而复
始，是谓天地之纪。（营气之行，由于谷气之化，谷不入则营气衰，故云内谷为宝。谷入于胃，以传于肺，清者为营，营
行脉中，故其精专者行于经隧，常营无已，终而复始，以周流于十二经也。天地之纪，义见前章。内，纳同。）故气从太
阴出，注手阳明。（此下言营气营运之次，即前十二经脉之序也。营气出于中焦，上行于肺，故于寅时始于手太阴肺经，
出注中府、云门，下少商以交于手阳明商阳也。）上行注足阳明，下行至跗上，注大趾间，与太阴合。（手阳明大肠经，
循臂上行至鼻旁迎香穴，交于目下承泣穴，注足阳明胃经。下行至足跗，出次趾之厉兑。其支者，别跗上，入大趾出其
端，以交于足太阴隐白也。）上行抵髀，从脾注心中。（足太阴脾经自足上行抵髀，入腹属脾，上膈注于心中，以交于手
少阴经也。）循手少阴出腋下臂，注小趾，合手太阳。（心脉发自心中，循手少阴经出腋下极泉穴，下臂注小指内侧少冲

乘腋外，上出于 内颧 之次注目内 ，以交于足太阳睛明穴。 音拙。）循脊下尻，下行注小指之端，循足心注足少阴，
上行注肾。（足太阳膀胱经，过巅下项，循脊下尻，注小指端之至阴，循小趾入足心，以交于足少阴之涌泉，而上行注肾
也。）从肾注心，外散于胸中，循心主脉出腋下臂，出两筋之间，入掌中，出中指之端。（足少阴肾经，从足心上行入肾，
注于心，外散于胸中，以交于手心主。其脉出腋下之天池下臂，出两筋之间，入掌中，出中指端之中冲也。）还注小指次

太阴，此营气之所行也，逆顺之常也。（督脉自尾 前络阴器，即名任脉，上过阴毛中，入脐上腹，入缺盆，下肺中，复
出于手太阴经。前经脉篇未及任督，而此始全备，是十四经营气之序。）
《灵枢·营气篇》（全文）
黄帝说：营气的运行规律，是以摄入水谷化为精微物质为基础。水谷进入胃中，进而传送给肺，在体内流布溢散，其中精纯专一的部分沿着经脉隧道运行，周流不息，循环往复，这就构成了天地运行的纲纪。（营气的运行，源于谷气的转化，如果不进食，营气就会衰败，所以说“内谷为宝”。水谷入胃后传给肺，清轻的部分成为营气，营气行于脉管之中，所以它精纯的部分运行在经脉隧道里，常营无已，终而复始，以此周流于十二经脉。天地之纪的含义见前章。“内”通“纳”，意为接纳。）因此，气从手太阴肺经发出，注入手阳明大肠经。（以下讲述营气运行的次序，即前面提到的十二经脉的循行顺序。营气产生于中焦，向上输送到肺，所以在寅时起始于手太阴肺经，出于中府、云门穴，下行至少商穴以交于手阳明大肠经的商阳穴。）再上行注入足阳明胃经，下行到达足背，注入大趾之间，与足太阴脾经相合。（手阳明大肠经，沿手臂上行至鼻旁的迎香穴，交于眼下承泣穴，注入足阳明胃经。下行至足背，出于第二趾的厉兑穴。其支脉，从足背分出，进入大趾末端，以交于足太阴脾经的隐白穴。）再上行抵达大腿，从脾脏注入心中。（足太阴脾经自足部上行抵达大腿，入腹属脾，穿过膈肌注入心中，以交于手少阴心经。）沿手少阴心经出于腋下臂部，注入小指，与手太阳小肠经相合。（心脉发自心中，沿手少阴经出于腋下的极泉穴，下臂注入小指内侧的少冲穴，出于外侧以交于手太阳小肠经的少泽穴。）再上行经过腋下，出于颧骨内侧，注目内眦，上达头顶，下行项部，与足太阳膀胱经相合。（手太阳小肠经，从小指上行，经过腋下外侧，上出于颧骨内侧次目内眦处，以交于足太阳膀胱经的睛明穴。“ ”音拙。）沿脊柱下行至尾骶，下行注入小指末端，沿足心注入足少阴肾经，上行注入肾脏。（足太阳膀胱经，过头顶下行项部，沿脊柱下行至尾骶，注入小指端的至阴穴，沿小趾入足心，以交于足少阴肾经的涌泉穴，而上行注入肾脏。）从肾脏注入心脏，向外散布于胸中，沿心包络脉出于腋下臂部，出于两筋之间，进入手掌中，出于中指末端。（足少阴肾经，从足心上行入肾，注入心脏，向外散布于胸中，以交于心包络。其脉出于腋下的天池穴，下臂，出于两筋之间，入掌中，出于中指端的中冲穴。）再回流注入无名指末端，与手少阳三焦经相合，上行注入膻中，散布于三焦。（手厥阴心包络的支脉，从掌中分出，回流注入无名指末端，以交于手少阳三焦经的关冲穴，沿手臂上行注入膻中，下膈散布于三焦。）从三焦注入胆经，出于胁肋注入足少阳胆经，下行到达足背。（手少阳三焦经自三焦注入胆经，出于胁肋间以交于足少阳胆经，上行者行于头部，起于目外角的瞳子髎穴，下行者至足背，出于小趾与次趾端的窍阴穴。）再从足背注入大趾之间，与足厥阴肝经相合，上行至肝脏，从肝脏上行注入肺脏，向上沿喉咙进入鼻咽部的窍道，深入畜门。其分支，上行额部，沿头顶下行项中，沿脊柱进入骶骨，这就是督脉。（足少阳胆经的支脉，从足背分出，注入大趾间，以交于足厥阴肝经的大敦穴，于是上行至肝脏上注于肺，向上沿喉咙之上，进入鼻咽部的窍道。“究”，深的意思。“蓄门”，即喉屋上方通向鼻腔的窍门。如《评热病论》启玄子所说：“气冲突于蓄门而出于鼻。”就是指的这个意思。其支脉，从鼻咽部向上出于额部，沿头顶以交于督脉，沿脊柱下行进入尾骶。“蓄”同“臭”，读音为许救切。）联络生殖器，上过阴毛中间，进入脐中，向上沿腹腔内部进入缺盆，向下注入肺中，再复出至手太阴肺经，这就是营气所行的路径，也是顺逆的正常规律。（督脉自尾骶前方联络生殖器，即名为任脉，上过阴毛中间，进入脐上腹部，进入缺盆，下入肺中，再复出于手太阴肺经。前面的经脉篇未涉及任脉和督脉，而此处才完全具备，这是十四经营气运行的次序。）
*Ling Shu: Ying Qi Chapter* (Full Text)
The Yellow Emperor said: The pathway of Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) is based on the transformation of ingested food into solid essence. When grain enters the Stomach, it is transmitted to the Lung, flows and overflows within, and spreads outward. The pure and concentrated portion travels through the meridians and collaterals, circulating ceaselessly, ending and beginning anew; this is called the norm of Heaven and Earth. (The movement of Ying Qi stems from the transformation of Gu Qi (Grain Qi); if no food is ingested, Ying Qi declines, hence it is said that "ingesting grain is precious." Grain enters the Stomach and is transmitted to the Lung. The clear aspect becomes Ying Qi, which moves within the vessels; thus its pure and concentrated part travels in the meridian tunnels, constantly nourishing without cessation, completing cycles to circulate through the Twelve Meridians. The meaning of "the norm of Heaven and Earth" is seen in previous chapters. "Nei" (Internal/Ingest) is synonymous with "Na" (To receive/admit).) Therefore, the Qi emerges from the Hand-Taiyin [Lung] Meridian and pours into the Hand-Yangming [Large Intestine] Meridian. (Hereinafter describes the sequence of Ying Qi circulation, which corresponds to the order of the Twelve Meridians mentioned earlier. Ying Qi originates in the Middle Jiao, ascends to the Lung, and thus begins at the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian during the Yin hour, emerging from Zhongfu (LU-1) and Yunmen (LU-2), descending to Shaoshang (LU-11) to connect with Shangyang (LI-1) of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian.) It then ascends and pours into the Foot-Yangming [Stomach] Meridian, descends to the dorsum of the foot, pours into the space between the big toe, and merges with the Foot-Taiyin [Spleen] Meridian. (The Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian follows the arm upward to the Yingxiang (LI-18) point beside the nose, connects at the Chengqi (ST-1) point below the eye, and pours into the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Descending to the foot dorsum, it emerges at Lidui (ST-45) of the second toe. Its branch diverges from the dorsum, enters the tip of the big toe, and connects with Yinbai (SP-1) of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian.) Ascending further to the thigh, it passes from the Spleen to pour into the Heart. (The Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian ascends from the foot to the thigh, enters the abdomen to associate with the Spleen, crosses the diaphragm to pour into the Heart, thereby connecting with the Hand-Shaoyin [Heart] Meridian.) Following the Hand-Shaoyin [Heart] Meridian, it emerges from the axilla and arm, pours into the little finger, and merges with the Hand-Taiyang [Small Intestine] Meridian. (The Heart vessel originates in the Heart, follows the Hand-Shaoyin Meridian emerging from the Ququan (HT-1) point in the axilla, descends the arm to pour into Shaochong (HT-9) on the medial side of the little finger, emerges laterally to connect with Shaoze (SI-1) of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.) Ascending again past the axilla, emerging near the zygomatic bone, focusing on the inner canthus, reaching the vertex, descending the neck, and merging with the Foot-Taiyang [Bladder] Meridian. (The Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian ascends from the little finger, passes lateral to the axilla, emerges superior to the zygomatic region next to the inner canthus, and connects with Jingming (BL-1) of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. "[Character] sounds like 'zhuo'.") Following the spine downward to the sacrum, descending to pour into the tip of the little finger, following the sole of the foot to pour into the Foot-Shaoyin [Kidney] Meridian, and ascending to pour into the Kidney. (The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian passes over the vertex and down the neck, follows the spine to the sacrum, pours into Zhiyin (BL-67) at the tip of the little finger, enters the sole via the little toe, connects with Yongquan (KI-1) of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and ascends to pour into the Kidney.) From the Kidney, it pours into the Heart, scatters externally in the chest, follows the Pericardium vessel emerging from the axilla and arm, emerges between two tendons, enters the palm, and emerges at the tip of the middle finger. (The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian ascends from the sole into the Kidney, pours into the Heart, scatters externally in the chest, and connects with the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium. Its vessel emerges from Tianchi (PC-1) in the axilla, descends the arm, emerges between two tendons, enters the palm, and emerges at Zhongchong (PC-9) at the tip of the middle finger.) Returning to pour into the tip of the ring finger, merging with the Hand-Sanjiao [Triple Energizer] Meridian, ascending to pour into the Shanzhong (Conception Vessel), and scattering in the Sanjiao. (A branch of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium diverges from the palm, returns to pour into the tip of the ring finger, connecting with Guanchong (TE-1) of the Hand-Sanjiao Triple Energizer Meridian, follows the arm upward to pour into the Shanzhong area, crosses the diaphragm to scatter in the Sanjiao.) From the Sanjiao, it pours into the Gallbladder, emerges from the hypochondrium to pour into the Foot-Shaoyang [Gallbladder] Meridian, and descends to the dorsum of the foot. (The Hand-Sanjiao Triple Energizer Meridian pours from the Sanjiao into the Gallbladder, emerges from the intercostal spaces to connect with the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. The ascending branch travels along the head, originating at Tongziliao (GB-1) in the outer canthus; the descending branch reaches the foot dorsum, emerging at Qiaoyin (GB-44) between the fourth and fifth toes.) Again from the dorsum, it pours into the space between the big toes, merges with the Foot-Jueyin [Liver] Meridian, ascends to the Liver, and from the Liver ascends to pour into the Lung, following the throat upward to enter the orifice of the Hangsang (nasopharynx), penetrating deeply to the Xumen. A separate branch ascends to the forehead, follows the vertex down the nape, follows the spine into the coccyx; this is the Du Mai (Governor Vessel). (The branch of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian diverges from the dorsum, pours into the space between the big toes, connecting at Dazhun (LR-1) of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian, then ascends to the Liver and pours into the Lung, ascending along the throat above to enter the orifice of the Hangsang. "Jiu" means deep. "Xumen" refers to the opening above the larynx leading to the nasal cavity. As Qixuanzi stated in the commentary on *Ping Re Bing Lun*: "Qi rushes through the Xumen and exits through the nose." This refers to that mechanism. Its branch emerges from the nasopharynx to the forehead, follows the vertex to connect with the Du Mai, and descends along the spine into the tailbone. "Xu" is identical to "Chou", pronounced as 'xu jiu qie'.) It links the genitalia, passes above the pubic hair, enters the umbilicus, ascends along the interior of the abdomen to the Quepen area, descends to pour into the Lung, and re-emerges into the Hand-Taiyin [Lung] Meridian. This is the path traveled by Ying Qi, representing the normal pattern of reverse and forward flow. (The Du Mai links the genitalia anteriorly from the coccyx, becoming the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), passing above the pubic hair, entering the upper abdomen, reaching the Quepen, descending into the Lung, and re-emerging into the Hand-Taiyin Meridian. The preceding Meridian Chapter did not cover the Ren and Du vessels, but here they are fully detailed; this constitutes the sequence of Ying Qi circulation in the Fourteen Meridians.)
