辅骨上横骨下为楗 吴云。辅骨。膝辅骨。横骨。腰横骨。是楗为股骨也。张同。高云。上文云。
蹇膝伸不屈。治其楗。所谓楗者。辅骨上横骨下为楗。股胫皆有辅骨。乃大骨之旁骨。此辅骨股内旁骨也。横

膝解为骸关 张云。骸。音鞋。说文云。胫骨也。胫骨之上。膝之节解也。是为骸关。高云。上文
云。立而暑解。治其骸关。所谓骸关者。膝后分解之处。沈彤云。按即膝外解上下之辅骨。盖名关。本取两骨
可开阖之义。故指骨解与两骨并通。
连骸 张云。膝上两侧。皆有挟膝高骨。与骸骨相接连。故曰连骸。
骸下为辅 张云。连骸下高骨。是为内外辅骨。高云。骸下。即骸关之下。沈彤云。挟膝之骨。曰
辅骨。内曰内辅。外曰外辅。其专以骸上为辅者。(骨空论云。骸下为辅。下。乃上之讹也。)
则膝旁不曰辅。而曰连骸。骸上者。HT 之上端也。简按诗。有乃弃尔辅。(正义云辅。是可解脱之物。盖如今

视其经之过于阳者 吴云。刺以泻其阳。药以和其阴。张云。阳邪之盛者也。
都起于胞中。其中浮行于体表的,会合于咽喉,分支联络唇口。这说明冲脉不仅到达胸中,而且上行至面颊并循行于面部,所以再次列举冲脉的病症来阐明这一点。简按:前面的注释都是治疗阳明经的脉病,而上文所说的“上颐循面”指的是任脉。高引《五音五味》篇的内容来解释为冲脉,是不正确的。
蹇膝:高云:“蹇,是困难的意思。蹇膝,就是膝盖难以活动。因为膝盖僵硬,所以伸而不能屈。”简按:《说文解字》说:“蹇,是跛脚的意思。”《释名》说:“蹇,是跛行不能从事劳役。”高训诂为“难”,见于《易经·蹇卦》。
治其楗:张云:“股骨称为楗。(详见后文。)治疗其楗,是指治疗膝辅骨之上、前阴横骨之下的部位,大概是指大腿中的足阳明胃经髀关等穴位。”
治其机:张云:“夹在臀部两旁,骨缝中活动的地方,称为机,即足少阳胆经的环跳穴。”
暑解:吴云:“热蓄积在骨骼导致肢体散解无力。”张云:“因站立在暑气之中,而肢体散解不收摄的,应当治疗骸关,即足少阳胆经的阳关穴。”简按:王引之的解释似乎是正确的。
拇指:熊音注:“拇,音母。大拇指。”吴云:“小拇指。”这是足太阳膀胱经所出的穴位,所以治疗它。张同此观点。志云:“足的大拇指,是厥阴肝经的井穴和荥穴所在。厥阴经脉,上行经过内踝前廉,所以应当治疗它。”高云:“足大指。”简按:《说文解字》说:“拇,是大指。”《急就篇》颜师古注说:“拇,是大指。又名将指。”吴注是错误的。
如物隐者:马云:“像膝中有物体隐藏在内部一样,应当治疗关穴,怀疑是承扶穴。属于足太阳膀胱经,位于尻臀下阴纹中。”高云:“隐,如同藏匿。膝痛像有物体隐藏,是疼痛且高高肿起,像物体藏在里面一样。”
背内:吴云:“是指太阳经的气穴,如背俞穴之类。”志高观点相同。简按:马、张仍沿用王冰的注释,定为大杼穴,恐怕不对。
治阳明中俞䯒:吴云:“俞䯒,是指六俞穴,即井、荥、输、原、经、合,选取适宜的穴位。”张云:“王氏注释认为是三里穴。”我认为指的是阳明经的输穴,应该是陷谷穴。高云:“䯒,是骨穴。中俞,是足阳明胃经的输穴。五输穴中,前面有井、荣,后面有经、合,输穴居中,所以称为中俞䯒。位于足中指间,是陷谷穴。”
若别:马云:“是指三里穴,而想要取别的穴位。”吴云:“如果疼痛分支别出,适宜治疗太阳经的荥穴通谷,少阴经的荥穴然谷。”张云:“如果再另外寻求治疗方法,那么足太阳经的荥穴通谷,足少阴经的荥穴然谷,都可以治疗上述证候。”简按:从文义来看,张注比较接近原意。
淫泺:张云:“滑精遗沥。如《本神》篇所说:‘精伤则骨痿厥,精时自下’,就是这一节的含义。”高云:“淫,极也;泺,寒也。淫泺胫䯒,是极度寒冷而导致小腿消瘦。”熊音注:“泺,力毒反切。”简按:这是形容小腿消瘦的样子。《灵枢·厥病》篇说:“风痹淫泺。”又说:“股胫淫泺。”巢元方《诸病源候论》说:“皮肤淫跃。”又说:“淫淫跃跃。”《肘后方》说:“风尸者,淫跃不知痛之所在。”《本草黑字》说:“狸骨,主治风疰、尸疰、鬼疰。毒瓦斯在皮中,淫跃如针刺者。”《千金方》说:“隐轸六十四种风,淫液走入皮中。”巢元方《注病》说:“肌肉淫奕。又淫奕皮肤,去来击痛。”《文选·枚乘七发》说:“血脉淫濯。手足惰窳。”李善注:“淫濯,谓过度而且大也。”又说:“濯,大也。”《龙龛手鉴》说:“HT(音药),淫病也。KT(病消也)。都是淫泺之泺。大概淫泺、淫跃、淫液、淫奕、淫濯,意思相同。张、高的解释固然牵强,而王注也不妥当。又《灵枢·厥病》篇注,马云:‘风痹者,其邪气淫消烁,病难得愈。’张云:‘淫泺者,淫浸日深之谓。’两种说法也讲得通。
治少阳之维:张云:“维,是络脉的意思。《经脉》篇说:‘少阳之别,名曰光明,去踝五寸,坐不能起,取之所别。’”简按:《扁鹊传》中提到“中经维络”,知道“维”就是络的意思。
辅骨上横骨下为楗:吴云:“辅骨,是膝辅骨;横骨,是腰横骨。这就是说楗是股骨。”张同此观点。高云:“上文说:‘蹇膝伸不屈,治其楗。’所谓楗,就是辅骨上横骨下为楗。股胫都有辅骨,是大骨旁边的骨头。这个辅骨是股内侧的旁骨。横骨,是脐下小腹两旁的骨头。”简按:辅骨有两种,经文没有考证,令人可疑。沈彤《释骨》说:“自两髂而下,在膝以上者,称为髀骨、股骨。其中直的称为楗。考察枯骨形象,髀枢在关旁纳机,不在机端,而说者将髀骨命名为髀枢骨,又以为是楗骨之下,错误很大。考察‘楗’,通作‘键’。《说文》说:‘楗,距门也。’《颜氏家训》说:‘蔡邕《月令章句》云:键,关牡也,所以止扉。’楗骨的意义,大概取自于此。张云:‘楗,音健,刚木。’似乎不贴切。
挟髋为机:吴云:“髋,是两股之间。侠髋相接之处为机。”张云:“髋,是尻,即臀部。一说,是两股之间。机,是枢机。夹在臀部之外,即楗骨上运动的机关,所以说:挟髋为机。就在环跳穴处,是正确的。”高云:“上文说:‘坐而膝痛,治其机。’所谓机,就是挟髋为机。挟,合并。髋,是臀上两旁侧骨。”沈承之《经络全书》说:“髋,是腰胯骨。也称为踝。(即腰踝骨。)腰旁夹脊,平立陷者中,按之有骨,机关处动的,就是这个。”沈彤说:“关之旁曰髀枢,也称为枢机者,是髀骨进入枢的地方。”简按:髋,《说文》说:“髀上也。”《广雅》、《释名》都说:“KT(腰骨也)。”两股之间称为髋,未见依据。
膝解为骸关:张云:“骸,音鞋。《说文》说:‘胫骨也。’胫骨之上,膝关节解处,这就是骸关。”高云:“上文说:‘立而暑解,治其骸关。’所谓骸关,是膝后分解之处。”沈彤说:“按即膝外解上下之辅骨。大概名为关,本取两骨可开阖的意义,所以指骨解与两骨并通。”
连骸:张云:“膝上两侧,都有夹膝的高骨,与骸骨相接连,所以叫连骸。”
骸下为辅:张云:“连骸下的高骨,就是内外辅骨。”高云:“骸下,即骸关之下。”沈彤说:“夹膝的骨,称为辅骨。内称内辅,外称外辅。专门以骸上为辅的。(《骨空论》说:‘骸下为辅。’下,乃是上的讹误。)”
则膝旁不曰辅,而曰连骸。骸上者,HT(髁)之上端也。简按:《诗经》说:“有乃弃尔辅。”(正义说:辅,是可以解脱之物,大概像现在人缚杖于辐,以防辅车也。)《左传》说:“有辅车相根据。”(《韩非子·十过》篇说:‘夫虞之有虢也,如车之有辅。辅根据车。辅亦根据车。’)可知辅即夹车轴,所以假借为颊车,又假借为夹膝之称。又据沈彤之说,骸上为辅,则下文“辅上为䯒”,也应当作“辅下为䯒”。这必然不可能。
辅上为䯒:张云:“辅骨上,向膝后曲处为䯒,别委中穴。”
䯒上为关:张云:“䯒上骨节动处,即所谓的骸关。”高云:“上文说:‘膝如物隐者,治其关。’所谓关,是䯒上为关,腿曲处之上。”
头横骨为枕:张云:“脑后横骨为枕骨。”高云:“上文说:‘膝痛不可屈伸,治其背内。’背上通枕骨,所以不解释背内,而解释头横骨为枕。知道头横骨为枕,就知道脊直骨为背了。”简按:高属强解。志云:“骨之精髓,从枕骨之髓空,而会于脑。所以论述膝䯒之骨,而说头横骨为枕,是说骨气的上下相通。”这种说法稍通。然而结合上下文义求之,大概有其他篇章解释周身骨节之名,这是断章取义。因为上文有楗、机、骸、关等名称,后人在此补充,所以上文没有“治其枕”的说法。《一切经音义》说:“HT(声类云:项中有所枕也)。《考声》:脑后骨也。今谓之玉HT。知道枕又作HT。”
左右各一行:高本作“二行”,注云:“行,音杭。旧本讹‘左右各一行’,今改为二行。伏兔上两行,行五,乃左右各二行,行五,则四五二十俞,其俞在䯒。踝上各一行,行六穴,则左右十二俞,其俞在足。是水俞五十七穴,而本于肾也。”简按:考《水热穴论》,若为一行,则不合五十七之数。现在听从高本。
在颅际锐骨之下:吴删去“在”字。高云:“在悬颅穴之际。悬颅,在头两旁锐骨之下。锐骨,尖骨也。”简按:悬颅,在曲角颞中,不得言脑后。诸家仍依王注为风府,现在也听从它。
䯒基下:吴云:“言一空在口内上䯒之基。”张云:“唇内上齿缝中,曰䯒交,则下齿缝中,当为䯒基。今曰基下者,乃颐下正中骨罅也。”马同此观点。云:“系任脉经。”简按:下颐,应当在承浆下。吴注似指龈交。
复骨:马云:“在项后之中,复有骨之上,即喑门穴也。”吴云:“项有三骨,中骨之次,又复一骨,故云中复骨下。盖大椎穴也。”张云:“即大椎上骨节空也。复,当作伏。盖项骨三节不甚显。”简按:张注是正确的。然而伏、复通用,“骨蒸复连”或作“伏连”,一伏时,本是一复时,则不必改字。
尻骨下空:马、吴、张都沿袭新校正,认为是长强穴。现在听从它。
数髓空在面挟鼻:张云:“数,多处。在面者,如足阳明之承泣、巨髎,手太阳之颧髎,足太阳之睛明,手少阳之丝竹空,足少阳之瞳子髎、听会。挟鼻者,如手阳明之迎香等,都在面的骨空中。”
当两肩髎:简按《甲乙经》,大迎一名髓空,所以王冰认为是大迎。
䯒中之阳:吴云:“䯒阳,䯒之外也。”张云:“䯒,肩䯒也。中之阳,肩中之上䯒也。即手阳明肩髎之次。”志云:“阳,外侧也。”简按:《说文》:“䯒,肩甲也。”
臂骨空在臂阳去踝四寸:张云:“臂阳,臂外也。去踝四寸,两骨之间,手少阳三阳络之次也。亦名三阳络。”吴云:“臂有两骨,去踝四寸许,髓空在其间。臂阳,臂外也。”简按:《甲乙经》说,三阳络,在臂上大交脉,支沟上一寸。而《甲乙经》又说,支沟,在腕后二寸,两骨之间,陷者中。如此则不合去踝四寸之数,令人可疑。吴不指明某穴,似乎是正确的。
股际骨空:吴云:“股际骨,前阴曲骨也。”张云:“毛中动下,谓曲骨两旁股际,足太阴冲门动脉之下也。”高云:“股际,阴股交会之际。股际骨空,在毛中动下,乃动脉之下,跨缝间也。”简按:曲骨在毛际,今曰毛中,不可定为曲骨穴。
尻骨空:志云:“尻骨,臀骨也。髀骨,在股骨之上,少股两旁,突起之大骨,前下连于横骨,后连于尻骨。”高云:“尻骨,尾骨也。髀骨,臀侧骨也。髀之后,相去四寸,正当尻骨空之处。”简按:以上骨空,诸家定为某穴,只有志高不注穴名,大概有所见地。
扁骨有渗理凑:张云:“扁骨者,对圆骨而言。凡圆骨内皆有髓,有髓则有髓孔。但若扁骨,则有血脉渗灌之理凑,而内无髓。”吴同此观点。高云:“扁骨,胸脊相交之肋骨也。”志同此观点。简按:扁骨,概通体扁骨而言,张注是正确的。
易髓无空:吴云:“但有渗灌之腠,无复髓孔也。故变易无体,则无孔也。”高云:“易,交易也。扁骨,有澹渗之纹理,凑会于胸脊,其内则无髓孔。申明渗理凑者,髓之交易也。无髓孔者,两头无空也。”简按:高似稳贴。马、张志仍依王注。
灸寒热之法:张云:“此下灸寒热之法,多以虚劳为言,然当因病随经而取之也。”
壮数:《千金方》云:“凡言壮数者,若丁壮,病根深笃,可倍于方数。老少羸弱,可减半。”沈括《笔谈》云:“医用艾一灼,谓之一壮。以壮人为法也。其言若干壮,壮人当根据此数。老幼羸弱,量力减之。”
橛骨:简按《说文》:“橛,弋也。又HT,尻骨也。”知橛骨,即是HT骨。本或作撅,非。
肩上陷者灸之:高云:“五脏六腑之俞,皆在于背。故视背俞,其俞内陷者,则于左右以灸之。视之之法,须举其臂肩。举臂肩而背上陷者,即灸之。”简按:诸家以肩髎释之,拘泥矣。以下,高不指言穴名。
䯒下陷脉:张云:“足太阳承山穴也。”
动如筋者:张云:“此结聚也。但随其所有而灸之,不必拘于俞穴。”吴云:“此非谓穴,乃肉间结核也。”
掌束骨下:高云:“束骨,横骨也。掌束骨下,犹言掌下束骨,谓横骨缝中,大陵二穴。楼氏纲目云:王注阳池,未详是否。”简按:《甲乙经》说,阳池,在手表上脘中陷者中。大陵,在掌两筋间陷者中。亦未知孰是。
犬所啮:张云:“犬伤令人寒热者,古有灸法如此。”吴云:“古别有灸法,故云然也。”简按:《千金翼方》云:“狂犬咬人,令人吮去恶血尽,灸百壮。后日日灸,百日止。”《铜人腧穴针灸图经》云:“外丘,治狂犬所伤,毒不出,发寒热。速以三壮艾,可灸啮处,立愈。”啮,本作啮,非。
二十九处:张云:“自犬啮之上,共计二十九处。犬伤者无定处,故不在数内。”简按:高合犬啮处二,为二十九处。然经文无犬啮处二文,不可从。今考自大椎至巅上一,合左右共二十七处,加犬所啮,为二十八处。知如新校正所言,跗上之下,去灸之二字者,误也。
All originate from the Baozhong (uterus/bladder center). Those that float and run externally converge at the throat, branch off to connect with the lips and mouth. This indicates that the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) not only reaches the chest but also ascends to the cheeks and follows the face; therefore, the diseases of the Chong Mai are cited again to clarify this point. Jian An: The previous annotations all refer to treating the Mai of the Yangming channel, whereas the aforementioned "ascends to the cheeks and follows the face" refers to the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel). Gao's citation of the *Wu Yin Wu Wei* chapter to interpret this as the Chong Mai is incorrect.
Jian Xi (Stiff Knees): Gao states: "Jian means difficulty. Jian Xi means difficulty in advancing the knee. Because the knee is stiff, it cannot flex when extended." Jian An: *Shuo Wen Jie Zi* states: "Jian means limping." *Shi Ming* states: "Jian means limping and being unable to engage in labor." Gao's definition of "difficulty" is seen in the *I Ching* (Book of Changes), Hexagram Jian.
Zhi Qi Jian (Treat its Jian): Zhang states: "The femur is called Jian. (See detailed explanation below.) To treat its Jian refers to treating the area above the knee auxiliary bone and below the transverse bone of the anterior yin, likely referring to acupoints such as Bituan on the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel."
Zhi Qi Ji (Treat its Ji): Zhang states: "The movable place in the bone gap beside the buttocks is called Ji, which is the Huantiao acupoint on the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel."
Shu Jie (Heat-induced Flaccidity): Wu states: "Heat accumulated in the bones causing flaccid disintegration of the limbs." Zhang states: "For those whose limbs become flaccid and uncontrolled due to standing in summer heat, one should treat the Haiguan, which is the Yangguan acupoint on the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel." Jian An: Wang Yinzhi's interpretation seems correct.
Mu Zhi (Thumb): Xiong phonetically annotates: "Mu sounds like 'mu'. It is the big toe." Wu states: "It is the little toe." This is where the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel originates, so one treats it. Zhang agrees. Zhi states: "The big toe of the foot is where the Jing and Ying streams of the Jueyin Liver Channel are located. The Jueyin meridian ascends along the medial aspect of the ankle, so one should treat it." Gao states: "Foot big toe." Jian An: *Shuo Wen Jie Zi* states: "Mu is the great finger." Yan Shigu's annotation on *Ji Jiu Pian* states: "Mu is the big toe, also known as Jiang Zhi." Wu's note is erroneous.
Ru Wu Yin Zhe (Like an object hidden inside): Ma states: "As if there were an object hidden inside the knee, one should treat the Guan acupoint. It is suspected to be the Chengfu acupoint, belonging to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel, located in the gluteal fold below the sacrum." Gao states: "Yin means concealed. Knee pain as if an object is hidden implies swelling and pain as if an object is stored within."
Bei Nei (Inner Back): Wu states: "This refers to Qi acupoints of the Taiyang channel, such as the Back-Shu points." Zhi Gao agrees. Jian An: Ma and Zhang follow Wang Bing's annotation, identifying it as Dazhu, which is likely incorrect.
Zhi Yangming Zhong Yu Cun (Treat the Middle Shu Cun of Yangming): Wu states: "Yu Cun refers to the Six Shu points (Jing, Ying, Shu, Yuan, Jing, He), selecting the appropriate ones." Zhang states: "Wang's annotation considers it to be Zusanli." I believe it refers to the Shu point of the Yangming channel, which should be Xangu. Gao states: "Cun is a bone point. Zhong Yu is the Shu point of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel. Among the Five Shu points, Jing and Ying are anterior, Jing and He are posterior, and Shu is in the middle, hence called Zhong Yu Cun. It is located between the toes, specifically the Xangu acupoint."
Ruo Bie (If Different/Alternative): Ma states: "Refers to the Zusanli acupoint, but wishing to select alternative acupoints." Wu states: "If the pain branches out, it is suitable to treat Tonggu, the Ying point of the Great Yang (Taiyang) channel, and Rangu, the Ying point of the Shaoyin channel." Zhang states: "If seeking other treatment methods, then Tonggu, the Ying point of the Foot-Taiyang channel, and Rangu, the Ying point of the Foot-Shaoyin channel, can both treat the aforementioned conditions." Jian An: Based on the textual meaning, Zhang's note is closer to the truth.
Yin Luo (Flaccid Coldness): Zhang states: "Spermatorrhea and dribbling urine. As stated in the *Ben Shen* chapter: 'When essence is injured, bones become flaccid and cold, and essence flows down spontaneously,' which refers to this section." Gao states: "Yin means extreme; Luo means cold. Yin Luo Jin Cun describes extreme cold causing emaciation of the lower legs." Xiong phonetically annotates: "Luo, pronounced 'lu'." Jian An: This describes the appearance of emaciated shins. The *Ling Shu: Jue Bing* chapter mentions "Wind Bi Yin Luo" and "Thigh and Shin Yin Luo." Chao Yuanfang's *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* mentions "Skin Yin Yue" and "Yin Yin Yue Yue." *Zhou Hou Fang* states: "In Wind Shi, Yin Yue makes one unaware of the location of pain." *Ben Cao Hei Zi* states: "Li Gu (Cat Bone) treats Feng Zhu, Shi Zhu, Gui Zhu. When toxic vapors are in the skin, feeling like needles pricking with Yin Yue sensation." *Qian Jin Fang* mentions "Hidden Zhen sixty-four types of wind, Yin Ye entering the skin." Chao Yuanfang's *Zhu Bing* mentions "Muscle Yin Yi" and "Yin Yi on the skin, coming and going with striking pain." *Wen Xuan: Mei Cheng Qi Fa* states: "Blood vessels Yin Zhuo, hands and feet lazy and weak." Li Shan's annotation: "Yin Zhuo means excessive and enlarged." Also: "Zhuo means large." *Long Kan Shou Jian* states: "HT (sound 'yao'), disease of Yin; KT (disease of consumption). Both relate to the 'Luo' in Yin Luo. Thus, Yin Luo, Yin Yue, Yin Ye, Yin Yi, and Yin Zhuo are synonymous. Zhang and Gao's interpretations are forced, and Wang's annotation is also unsatisfactory. In the annotation for *Ling Shu: Jue Bing*, Ma states: "In Wind Bi, the pathogenic qi infiltrates and consumes, making the disease hard to cure." Zhang states: "Yin Luo means infiltration deepening day by day." Both explanations are acceptable.
Zhi Shaoyang Zhi Wei (Treat the Weis of Shaoyang): Zhang states: "Wei means collateral. The *Jing Mai* chapter says: 'The branch of Shaoyang is named Guangming, five cun above the malleolus; if one cannot sit and rise, take the point where it branches.' " Jian An: *Bi Que Zhuan* mentions "Zhong Jing Wei Luo," knowing that "Wei" refers to collaterals.
Fu Gu Shang Heng Gu Xia Wei Jian (Above the Auxiliary Bone and Below the Transverse Bone is the Jian): Wu states: "Auxiliary bone is the knee auxiliary bone; transverse bone is the waist transverse bone. Thus, Jian is the femur." Zhang agrees. Gao states: "The text above says: 'Stiff knees, unable to extend or flex, treat its Jian.' What is meant by Jian is 'above the auxiliary bone and below the transverse bone is Jian.' Both thighs and shins have auxiliary bones, which are bones beside the major bones. This auxiliary bone is the lateral bone of the inner thigh. The transverse bone is the bone on both sides of the lower abdomen below the navel." Jian An: There are two types of auxiliary bones, and the text lacks verification, leaving it doubtful. Shen Tong's *Shi Gu* states: "From the ilium downwards, above the knee, is called Tibia (Bi Gu) or Femur (Gu Gu). The straight part is called Jian. Examining dry bones, the Bi Shu is located beside the Guan, not at the end of the Ji, yet commentators name the Tibia as Bi Shu bone and consider it below the Jian bone, which is very wrong. Examining 'Jian', it is interchangeable with 'Jian' (key). *Shuo Wen* states: 'Jian, stops the door.' *Yan Shi Jia Xun* states: 'Cai Yong's *Yue Ling Zhang Ju* says: Jian, is the lock pin, used to stop the door leaf.' The meaning of Jian bone is likely derived from this. Zhang states: 'Jian, sound 'jian', hard wood.' This seems inappropriate.
Xie Kuan Wei Ji (Beside the Hip is the Ji): Wu states: "Kuan is between the two thighs. The junction beside the hip is Ji." Zhang states: "Kuan is the sacrum, i.e., the buttock. Alternatively, it is between the two thighs. Ji is the pivot. Beside the buttock, it is the moving mechanism above the Jian bone, hence 'Beside the Hip is Ji.' This corresponds to the Huantiao acupoint." Gao states: "The text above says: 'Sitting with knee pain, treat its Ji.' What is meant by Ji is 'Beside the Hip is Ji.' Xie means together. Kuan is the side bone above the buttock." Shen Chengzhi's *Jing Luo Quan Shu* states: "Kuan is the hip bone, also called Huai (waist malleolus). Beside the spine, in the depression when standing flat, pressing reveals bone, the moving joint, is this." Shen Tong states: "Beside the Guan is Bi Shu, also called Shu Ji, which is the entry of the Bi bone into the pivot." Jian An: *Shuo Wen* states: "Kuan is above the thigh." *Guang Ya* and *Shi Ming* state: "KT (Waist bone)." There is no basis for calling the space between the thighs "Kuan."
Xi Jie Wei Hai Guan (Knee Resolution is the Hai Guan): Zhang states: "Hai, sound 'xie'. *Shuo Wen* states: 'Tibia bone.' Above the tibia, at the knee joint resolution, is the Hai Guan." Gao states: "The text above says: 'Standing and heat resolves, treat the Hai Guan.' What is meant by Hai Guan is the decomposed area behind the knee." Shen Tong states: "Accordingly, it is the auxiliary bones above and below the outer knee resolution. The name Guan likely takes the meaning of two bones opening and closing, so it refers to both bone resolution and the two bones together."
Lian Hai (Connecting Hai): Zhang states: "On both sides above the knee, there are high bones clamping the knee, connecting with the Hai bone, hence called Lian Hai."
Hai Xia Wei Fu (Below Hai is Fu): Zhang states: "The high bone below Lian Hai is the internal and external Fu bones." Gao states: "Hai Xia is below the Hai Guan." Shen Tong states: "The bones clamping the knee are called Fu bones. Internal is Neifu, external is Waifu. Specifically using Hai Shang as Fu... (*Gu Kong Lun* says: 'Hai Xia Wei Fu.' 'Xia' is likely a typo for 'Shang')."
Ze Xi Pang Bu Yue Fu, Er Yue Lian Hai. Hai Shang Zhe, HT Shang Duan Ye. Jian An: *Shi Jing* says: "You Nai Qi Er Fu." (Justice says: Fu is a detachable object, like binding a stick to the spokes to prevent wheel collapse.) *Zuo Zhuan* says: "You Fu Che Xiang Gen Ju." (*Han Feizi: Shi Guo* chapter says: 'Yu having Guo is like a chariot having Fu. Fu relies on the chariot. Fu also relies on Fu.') This shows Fu is the axle clamp, thus borrowed for cheekbone, and further borrowed for clamping the knee. According to Shen Tong, if Hai Shang is Fu, then the following text "Fu Shang Wei Cun" should also be "Fu Xia Wei Cun." This is certainly impossible.
Fu Shang Wei Cun (Above Fu is Cun): Zhang states: "Above the Fu bone, towards the posterior curve of the knee is Cun, another name for Weizhong acupoint."
Cun Shang Wei Guan (Above Cun is Guan): Zhang states: "The movable bone joint above Cun is what is called Hai Guan." Gao states: "The text above says: 'Knee pain as if an object is hidden, treat its Guan.' What is meant by Guan is 'Above Cun is Guan,' above the bend of the leg."
Tou Heng Gu Wei Zhen (Transverse Bone of Head is Zhen): Zhang states: "The transverse bone at the back of the head is the Occipital bone." Gao states: "The text above says: 'Knee pain unable to flex or extend, treat its Bei Nei.' The back connects to the Occipital bone, so instead of explaining Bei Nei, it explains Tou Heng Gu Wei Zhen. Knowing Tou Heng Gu is Zhen, one knows the straight spinal bone is Bei." Jian An: Gao's interpretation is forced. Zhi states: "The essence of bones, from the marrow cavity of the Occipital bone, converges in the brain. Thus, discussing the bones of the knee Cun, it says Tou Heng Gu Wei Zhen, indicating the upper and lower connection of bone qi." This explanation is somewhat coherent. However, examining the context, there must be other chapters explaining the names of whole-body joints; this is a fragmented text. Since the above text has names like Jian, Ji, Hai, Guan, later additions here explain why there is no "Treat its Zhen" in the above text. *Yi Qie Jing Yin Yi* states: "HT (Sheng Lei says: Something resting in the neck). *Kao Sheng*: Bone at the back of the head. Now called Yu HT. Knowing Zhen is also written as HT."
Zuo You Ge Yi Hang (Left and Right Each One Row): Gao's edition has "Two Rows," annotated: "Hang, sound 'hang'. Old editions erroneously had 'Left and Right Each One Row', now corrected to Two Rows. Above Fubu, two rows, five per row, meaning left and right each two rows, five per row, totaling twenty Shu points, their Shu points are in Cun. Above the malleolus, each one row, six acupoints per row, meaning twelve Shu points left and right, their Shu points are in the foot. These are fifty-seven Water Shu points, originating from the Kidney." Jian An: Examining the *Shui Re Xue Lun* chapter, if it were one row, it would not match the number fifty-seven. Now following Gao.
Nao Hou Wu Fen (Five Fen Behind the Brain): Gao writes "Three Fen."
Zai Lu Ji Rui Gu Zhi Xia (Below the Sharp Bone at the Temporal Margin): Wu deletes the character "Zai". Gao states: "At the Xuanchu acupoint. Xuanchu is below the sharp bone on both sides of the head. Rui Gu is a pointed bone." Jian An: Xuanchu is in the temporal region near the curved horn, cannot be described as "behind the brain." Commentators still follow Wang Bing's identification as Fengfu. Now we follow them.
Cun Ji Xia (Below the Base of Cun): Wu states: "Refers to an empty space at the base of the upper Cun inside the mouth." Zhang states: "In the gum line of the upper teeth, it is called Cun Jiao; thus, in the gum line of the lower teeth, it should be Cun Ji. Now saying 'Base Below' refers to the fissure in the midline bone below the chin." Ma agrees. Yun states: "Belongs to the Ren Mai Channel." Jian An: Lower chin should be below Chengjiang. Wu's note seems to refer to Yinjiao.
Fu Gu: Ma states: "In the middle of the back of the neck, above the compound bone, is the Yanmen acupoint." Wu states: "There are three bones in the neck. At the second of the middle bone, there is another compound bone, hence 'Middle Compound Bone Below.' It is likely the Dazhui acupoint." Zhang states: "It is the hollow of the vertebral joint above Dazhui. 'Fu' should be 'Fu' (lying prone). The three segments of the neck bones are not very prominent." Jian An: Zhang's note is correct. However, Fu and Fu are interchangeable; "Gu Zheng Fu Lian" is sometimes written as "Fu Lian." One Fu time is originally one Fu time, so there is no need to change the character.
Kao Gu Xia Kong (Empty Space Below the Sacral Bone): Ma, Wu, and Zhang follow the New Correction, identifying it as Changqiang. Now we follow them.
Shu Sui Kong Zai Mian Xie Bi (Multiple Marrow Empties on the Face Clamping the Nose): Zhang states: "Shu means multiple places. On the face: Chengqi, Juliao of Foot-Yangming; Quanliao of Hand-Taiyang; Jingming of Foot-Taiyang; Sizhukong of Hand-Shaoyang; Tongziliao, Tinghui of Foot-Shaoyang. Clamping the nose: Yingxiang of Hand-Yangming, etc., all are bone empties on the face."
Dang Liang Jian Liao (Opposite the Shoulder Blades): Jian An: *Jia Yi Jing* states Daying is also called Sui Kong, so Wang Bing considered it Daying.
Cun Zhong Zhi Yang (Yang in the Middle of Cun): Wu states: "Cun Yang is outside the Cun." Zhang states: "Cun is the shoulder blade. Zhong Zhi Yang is the upper part of the middle of the shoulder, i.e., next to Jianliao of Hand-Yangming." Zhi states: "Yang means lateral side." Jian An: *Shuo Wen* states: "Cun is the scapula."
Bi Gu Kong Zai Bi Yang Qu Huai Si Cun (Bone Empty of Arm is on the Yang Aspect of the Arm, Four Cun from the Malleolus): Zhang states: "Bi Yang is the outer arm. Four cun from the malleolus, between the two bones, is next to Sanyangluo of Hand-Shaoyang. Also named Sanyangluo." Wu states: "The arm has two bones. About four cun from the malleolus, the marrow empty is between them. Bi Yang is the outer arm." Jian An: *Jia Yi Jing* states Sanyangluo is above the intersection of meridians in the arm, one cun above Zhigou. And *Jia Yi Jing* also states Zhigou is two cun behind the wrist, between the two bones, in the depression. In this case, it does not match the "four cun from the malleolus" count, which is doubtful. Wu does not specify a certain acupoint, which seems plausible.
Gu Ji Gu Kong (Bone Empty at the Thigh Junction): Wu states: "Gu Ji bone is the Qugu bone at the anterior yin." Zhang states: "Below the pulsating point in the pubic hair, referring to below the pulsation of Chongmen of Foot-Taiyin Spleen Channel, on both sides of Qugu in the thigh junction." Gao states: "Gu Ji is the junction of the yin and thigh. The Gu Ji Gu Kong is below the pulsating point in the pubic hair, below the artery, straddling the seam." Jian An: Qugu is at the pubic hair margin. Now saying "in the pubic hair" cannot be definitively identified as the Qugu acupoint.
Kao Gu Kong (Sacral Bone Empty): Zhi states: "Kao Gu is the gluteal bone. Bi Gu is above the femur, on both sides of the lesser thigh, a prominent large bone, connecting downward anteriorly to the transverse bone and posteriorly to the Kao bone." Gao states: "Kao Gu is the coccyx. Bi Gu is the lateral gluteal bone. Behind the Bi, four cun apart, is exactly where the Kao Gu Kong is." Jian An: Regarding the above bone empties, commentators identify them as specific acupoints, except Zhi Gao who does not annotate acupoint names, likely having a specific insight.
Bian Gu You Shen Li Cou (Flat Bones Have Seeping Texture Convergence): Zhang states: "Flat bones, compared to round bones. All round bones contain marrow, and marrow contains marrow pores. But flat bones have textures for blood vessel seepage and convergence, without internal marrow." Wu agrees. Gao states: "Flat bones are the ribs intersecting the chest and spine." Zhi agrees. Jian An: Flat bones generally refer to all flat bones in the body; Zhang's note is correct.
Yi Sui Wu Kong (Changing Marrow Has No Pores): Wu states: "There are only seeping textures, no more marrow pores. Thus, changing form without substance means no pores." Gao states: "Yi means exchange. Flat bones have moist seeping textures converging at the chest and spine, internally having no marrow pores. Clarifying that the seeping texture convergence is the exchange of marrow. Having no marrow pores means no emptiness at both ends." Jian An: Gao seems stable and appropriate. Ma and Zhi follow Wang Bing.
Jiu Han Re Zhi Fa (Method of Moxibustion for Cold and Heat): Zhang states: "The moxibustion methods for cold and heat below mostly speak of deficiency consumptive diseases, but one should select points according to the disease and channel."
Zhuang Shu (Number of Moxa Cones): *Qian Jin Fang* states: "Whenever 'number of Zhuang' is mentioned, for strong adults with deep-rooted diseases, it can be doubled from the formula number. For the old, young, and weak, it can be halved." Shen Kuo's *Bi Tan* states: "Medical use of one moxa cone burning is called one Zhuang, based on strong adults. If it says several Zhuang, strong adults should follow this number. The old, young, and weak should reduce it according to their capacity."
Jue Gu: Jian An: *Shuo Wen* states: "Jue, stake. Also HT, sacral bone." Knowing Jue Gu is the HT bone. Originally written as Jue, incorrect.
Xian Zhe Jiu Zhi (Moxa Depressions): Zhang states: "Depressed areas are where meridian qi is insufficient."
Jian Shang Xian Zhe Jiu Zhi (Moxa Depressions on Shoulders): Gao states: "The Shu points of the five zang and six fu organs are all in the back. Thus, observe the Back-Shu points; if the Shu points are depressed internally, moxa them on the left and right. The method of observation requires raising the arms and shoulders. Where the back is depressed upon raising the arms and shoulders, moxa it." Jian An: Commentators interpreting it as Jianliao are too rigid. Below, Gao does not specify acupoint names.
Cun Xia Xian Mai (Depressed Pulse Below Cun): Zhang states: "Chengshan acupoint of Foot-Taiyang."
Dong Ru Jin Zhe (Moving Like Sinew): Zhang states: "This is condensation. Moxa according to whatever is present, do not be restricted to Shu points." Wu states: "This does not refer to an acupoint, but a nodule between muscles."
Zhang Shu Gu Xia (Below the Palm Bundle Bone): Gao states: "Shu Gu is the transverse bone. Zhang Shu Gu Xia is like saying palm below Shu Gu, referring to the transverse bone crease, Daling two acupoints." Lou's *Gang Mu* states: "Wang's annotation of Yangchi, unclear if correct." Jian An: *Jia Yi Jing* states Yangchi is in the depression in the middle of the wrist crease. Daling is in the depression between the two tendons of the palm. It is unknown which is correct.
Quan Suo Nie (Bitten by Dog): Zhang states: "Dog bites causing cold and heat, ancient times had such moxibustion methods." Wu states: "Ancient times had separate moxibustion methods, hence the statement." Jian An: *Qian Jin Yi Fang* states: "Rabies bite, suck out all evil blood, moxa one hundred Zhuang. Then moxa daily for one hundred days." *Tong Ren Jing* states: "Waiqiu treats dog bites, toxin not exiting, causing cold and heat. Quickly use three Zhuang moxa, moxa the bite site, immediate recovery." Nie was originally written as Nie, incorrect.
Er Shi Jiu Chu (Twenty-Nine Locations): Zhang states: "From above the dog bite, totaling twenty-nine locations. Dog bites have no fixed location, so they are not included in the count." Jian An: Gao combines two dog bite locations to make twenty-nine. However, the text has no mention of two dog bite locations, so it cannot be followed. Now examining from Dazhui to one above Diangu, combining left and right totals twenty-seven locations, plus dog bites, makes twenty-eight locations. Knowing that as the New Correction states, removing the characters "moxa two" below "foot dorsum" is an error.
Shang Shi Jiu Zhi (Moxa Food Injury): Shang Shi, commentators interpret as dietary injury. Gao alone changes Shi to Shi (erosion), annotating: "If moxaing the twenty-nine locations causes erosion-like damage, and yang qi sinks, then one should moxa it." This is very forced.
Shi Qi Jing Zhi Guo Yu Yang Zhe (Observe Meridians Exceeding in Yang): Wu states: "Puncture to drain Yang, medicine to harmonize Yin." Zhang states: "Excess of Yang pathogenic qi."
