另一分支，别出于面颊，上行至鼻根部，到达目内眼角。（睛明穴）斜行联络于颧部。
又说：手太阳经的络脉，名叫支正。在腕后五寸处，向内注入手少阴心经。其分支，上行至肘部，联络肩部。
《气府论》说：手太阳经脉气所发出的穴位，共三十六穴。目内眦各一穴。（次注解释为睛明穴，双侧共二穴。）目外眦各一穴。（解释为瞳子髎穴，双侧共二穴。）颧骨下各一穴。（解释为颧髎穴，双侧共二穴。）耳廓上各一穴。（解释为角孙穴，双侧共二穴。）耳中各一穴。（解释为听宫穴，双侧共二穴。）巨骨穴各一穴。（巨骨是穴名。）腋窝上方的骨空处各一穴。（解释为天髎穴，双侧共二穴。）柱骨上方凹陷处各一穴。（解释为肩井穴，双侧共二穴。）天窗穴上四寸处各一穴。（解释为天窗穴、足少阳胆经之窍阴穴，共四穴。）肩关节解处各一穴。（解释为秉风穴，双侧共二穴。）肩关节解下三寸处各一穴。（解释为天宗穴，双侧共二穴。）肘以下到手小指本节处，各有六个腧穴。（解释为小海穴、阳谷穴、腕骨穴、后溪穴、前谷穴、少泽穴，共六穴。）
《经别篇》说：手太阳经的正经，向下行至地面，从肩关节处分出，进入腋下，走向心系和小肠。
《经筋篇》说：手太阳经的筋，起始于小指上方，结聚于腕部，向上沿着臂的内侧缘，结聚于肘内侧锐骨之后，弹拨时感应至小指上方。进入并结聚于腋下。其分支，向后行走于腋后缘，向上绕行肩胛，沿着颈部出走于足太阳经之前，结聚于耳后完骨。其分支，进入耳中。直行者，出于耳上下方，结聚于下颌上部，归属于目外眦。
少泽穴（手太阳经脉气所出，为井穴）。前谷穴（脉气所溜，为荥穴）。后溪穴（脉气所注，为输穴）。腕骨穴（脉气所过，为原穴）。阳谷穴（脉气所行，为经穴）。养老穴（无特定五行属性记载）。支正穴（络穴，别走手少阴心经）。小海穴（脉气所入，为合穴）。肩贞穴（《气府论》称手少阳经脉气所发，《甲乙经》次注作手太阳经）。天髎穴（手太阳经与阳维脉、跷脉交会之处。○《外台秘要》作手足太阳经交会，《聚英》作阳跷脉交会）。天宗穴（脉气所发）。秉风穴（手阳明经、手太阳经、手少阳经、足少阳经交会穴）。曲垣穴、肩外俞穴、肩中俞穴、天窗穴（脉气所发）。颧髎穴（手少阳经、手太阳经交会穴）。听宫穴（手少阳经、足少阳经、手太阳经交会穴）。
按《外台秘要》记载，有二十六穴，没有肩贞、曲垣、肩外俞、肩中俞、颧髎、听宫这六穴（这六穴归入三焦经）。而有睛明穴（属膀胱经）、天容穴（属胆经）。诸书多沿袭此说，这是不对的。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》图示说：天容穴，属于十四经中的手太阳经。《甲乙经》说：手少阳经脉气所发。《灵枢》二篇、二条，都说是足少阳经。五篇说：足少阳经根于窍阴穴，入于...

(Thirty-six acupoints in total on both sides)
The *Jingmai Chapter* states: The Small Intestine is the meridian of Hand-Taiyang. It originates at the tip of the little finger. (Shaose, LI1) follows the ulnar side of the hand. (passes Qiangu, LI2 and Houxi, SI3) ascends to the wrist. (passes Wanggu, SI4 and Yanggu, SI5) emerges from the ankle bone. (Yanglao, SI6) goes straight up along the lower border of the forearm bone. (Zhizheng, SI7) emerges between the two tendons on the medial side of the elbow. (Xiaohai, SI8) ascends along the posterior-lateral border of the scapula.
Emerges from the shoulder joint. (Jianzhen, SI9) winds around the scapula. (passes Tianliao, SI10, Tiazong, SI11, Bingfeng, SI12, Quyuan, SI13, Jianwaiyu, SI14, Jianzhongyu, SI15, Dazhui, GV14, and Dazhu, BL11.) crosses over the shoulders. Enters the supraclavicular fossa (Quepen). Connects with the Heart, runs along the pharynx, descends through the diaphragm. Reaches the Stomach, and belongs to the Small Intestine.
Its branch, from the supraclavicular fossa, runs along the neck. (Tianchuang, SI16) ascends to the cheek. (Quanliao, SI18) reaches the outer canthus of the eye (Tongziliao, GB1), then turns back to enter the ear. (Tinggong, SI19)
Another branch, diverging from the cheek, ascends to the nasal root, reaching the inner canthus of the eye. (Jingming, BL1)斜行联络于颧部 (runs obliquely to connect with the zygomatic region).
It is also said: The collateral vessel of the Hand-Taiyang meridian is named Zhizheng. At five cun above the wrist, it enters internally to connect with the Hand-Shaoyin meridian. Its branch ascends to the elbow and connects with the shoulder.
The *Qifu Lun* states: The acupoints where the qi of the Hand-Taiyang meridian issues number thirty-six. One at each inner canthus. (The secondary note explains these are the Jingming acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One at each outer canthus. (Explained as Tongziliao acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One below each zygomatic bone. (Explained as Quanliao acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One above each auricle. (Explained as Jiaosun acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One in each ear. (Explained as Tinggong acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One at each Gugu acupoint. (Gugu is the name of the acupoint.) One at each bone hollow above the axilla. (Explained as Tianliao acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One at each depression above the vertebral column bone. (Explained as Jianjing acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One four cun above the Tianchuang acupoint. (Explained as Tianchuang and Qiaoyin acupoints, totaling four.) One at each shoulder joint. (Explained as Bingfeng acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) One three cun below the shoulder joint. (Explained as Tiazong acupoints, bilateral, totaling two.) From the elbow down to the base of the little finger, there are six shu points each side. (Explained as Xiaohai, SI8; Yanggu, SI5; Wanggu, SI4; Houxi, SI3; Qiangu, SI2; Shaose, SI1, totaling six acupoints.)
The *Jingbie Chapter* states: The regular pathway of the Hand-Taiyang meridian, pointing downwards towards the ground, diverges from the shoulder joint, enters the axilla, travels to the heart system, and reaches the Small Intestine.
The *Jingjin Chapter* states: The sinews of the Hand-Taiyang meridian originate above the little finger, knot at the wrist, ascend along the medial border of the arm, knot behind the sharp bone of the medial elbow, and upon stimulation, the sensation extends to above the little finger. They enter and knot in the axilla. Their branch travels posteriorly along the posterior border of the axilla, ascends winding around the scapula, runs along the neck emerging anterior to the Foot-Taiyang meridian, and knots at the occipital bone behind the ear. Another branch enters the ear. The straight branch emerges from above and below the ear, knots above the mandible, and belongs to the outer canthus of the eye.
Shaose (SI1) (Where the qi of the Hand-Taiyang meridian issues, Jing-Well point). Qiangu (SI2) (Where the qi flows, Ying-Spring point). Houxi (SI3) (Where the qi pours, Shu-Stream point). Wanggu (SI4) (Where the qi passes, Yuan-Source point). Yanggu (SI5) (Where the qi travels, Jing-River point). Yanglao (SI6) (No specific Five Element attribute recorded). Zhizheng (SI7) (Luo-Connecting point, diverging to connect with the Hand-Shaoyin meridian). Xiaohai (SI8) (Where the qi enters, He-Sea point). Jianzhen (SI9) (*Qifu Lun* states it is where the qi of the Hand-Shaoyang meridian issues; *Jia Yi Jing* secondary note states it is Hand-Taiyang). Tianliao (SI10) (Meeting point of Hand-Taiyang, Yangwei Mai, and Qiao Mai. ○ *Waitai Mi Yao* states it is a meeting of Hand and Foot Taiyang; *Juying* states it is Yangqiao Mai). Tiazong (SI11) (Where the qi issues). Bingfeng (SI12) (Meeting point of Hand-Yangming, Hand-Taiyang, Hand-Shaoyang, and Foot-Shaoyang). Quyuan (SI13), Jianwaiyu (SI14), Jianzhongyu (SI15), Tianchuang (SI16) (Where the qi issues). Quanliao (SI18) (Meeting point of Hand-Shaoyang and Hand-Taiyang). Tinggong (SI19) (Meeting point of Hand-Shaoyang, Foot-Shaoyang, and Hand-Taiyang).
According to *Waitai Mi Yao*, there are twenty-six acupoints, excluding Jianzhen, Quyuan, Jianwaiyu, Jianzhongyu, Quanliao, and Tinggong (these six are included in the Sanjiao Meridian). Instead, it includes Jingming (BL1, Bladder Meridian) and Tianrong (GB15, Gallbladder Meridian). Most texts follow this, which is incorrect. The *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* diagram states: Tianrong belongs to the Hand-Taiyang meridian among the fourteen meridians. *Jia Yi Jing* states: Where the qi of the Hand-Shaoyang meridian issues. *Ling Shu* chapters 2 and 5 state it is the Foot-Shaoyang meridian. Chapter 5 states: The Foot-Shaoyang meridian roots at Qiaoyin and enters...
