\r三焦经之图\p06-d33a20.bmp\r
《中藏经》曰∶三焦者，人之三元之气也，总领五脏六腑、营卫、经络、内外、左右、上下之气。三
焦通，则内外、左右、上下皆通，其于周身灌体，和内调外，荣左养右，导上宣下，莫大于此也。
手少阳经三焦 三焦者，决渎之官，水道出焉。上焦在胃上口，其治在膻中；中焦在中脘，其治在脐旁，下焦
在膀胱之上，其治在脐下一寸。上焦如雾，中焦如沤，下焦如渎。虽有上、中、下，其实彻上、彻下皆肾间真阳之气也。
膈膜脂膏之内，五脏六腑之隙，水谷流化之关，其气融会于其间，薰蒸膈膜，腐化水谷，发达皮肤分肉，营运四旁，实
元气之别使也。为元气之别使者，以元气赖其导引，潜行默运于一身之中，所以谓活命之根也。曰上、中、下者，各随
所属之部分，而脏腑脂膜之空处皆是也。是故虽无其形，倚内外之形而得名，虽无其实，合内外之实而为位者也。所
谓借形以为形者也，是此经本有名有形，后世以为无状有名
者，非也。其经多气而少血，与手厥阴为表里，亥时气血注此。
其见证也，耳聋浑浑 ，咽痛喉痹，目锐 角痛，耳后、肩 、时臂外皆痛，小指次指不为用。
其经之脉，受手厥阴心包络经之交，起于小指次指之端关冲穴，上出次指之间，历液门、中渚，循手表腕之阳池，
出臂外两骨之间；循外关、支沟、会宗、三阳、四渎，上贯肘，抵天井穴；从天井上行，循臂 之外，历清冷渊、消
泺，行手太阳之里、手阳明之外，上肩，循 会、肩 、天 ，交出足少阳之后，过手太阳之秉风、足少阳之肩井，下
入阳明之缺盆，复由足阳明之外，而交会于膻中，散布络绕于心包络，下膈，当胃上口，以属上焦；于中脘，以属中
焦；于下脘，以属下焦，其支者，从任之膻中而出缺盆，上项挟耳后，过督之大椎，循天牖上抵耳后，经翳风、螈脉、
颅息，直上出耳上角之角孙，过足少阳之悬厘、颔厌、阳白，及太阳睛明之分，屈曲下颊至 ，会手太阳颧 ，其又
支者，自翳风入耳之分中，过手太阳之听宫，历耳门行禾 ，却出至目锐 ，会足少阳之瞳子 ，循丝竹空，而交于足
少阳之胆经，自瞳子 、听会而下行也。
手厥阴心包经的络脉，共有九个穴位，从天池、天泉穴开始，沿着曲泽、门（间使）穴延伸，经过间使穴连通内关穴，大陵穴靠近劳宫穴，最后到达中冲穴。
心包络经起始于天池穴，位于乳头后方一寸、腋下三寸处（注：腋下三寸，乳头后方一寸），天泉穴在曲腋下方三寸，曲泽穴在屈肘时肘横纹中央的凹陷处，门穴（即间使穴）距离腕横纹五寸（掌后去腕五寸），间使穴在腕后三寸处测量，内关穴距离腕横纹两寸，大陵穴在掌后两根筋腱之间，劳宫穴通过弯曲中指和无名指取之，中冲穴位于中指末端。
《中藏经》说：三焦，是人体三元之气，统领五脏六腑、营卫、经络以及内外、左右、上下各部分的气机。三焦通畅，则内外、左右、上下气机皆通，对于全身灌注形体、调和内部与外部、滋养左侧与右侧、引导上部宣发下部，没有比这更重要的了。
手少阳三焦经：三焦，是决渎之官，水道由此而出。上焦位于胃的上口，其治疗部位在膻中；中焦位于中脘，其治疗部位在脐旁；下焦位于膀胱之上，其治疗部位在脐下一寸。上焦像雾露一样弥漫，中焦像沤渍发酵一样腐熟水谷，下焦像沟渠一样排泄废物。虽然分为上、中、下三部，但实际上贯穿上下，都是肾间真阳之气。在膈膜脂膏之内，五脏六腑的间隙，水谷流化转化的关键之处，气机融会其中，熏蒸膈膜，腐熟水谷，发达皮肤肌肉，营运四肢百骸，实际上是元气的别使。作为元气的别使，因为元气依赖它的引导，潜行默运于身体之中，所以被称为生命之根。所谓上、中、下，只是根据所属的部分而言，脏腑脂膜的空白处皆是。因此，虽然没有具体的形态，但依托内外之形而得名；虽然没有实质性的脏器，但结合内外的功能而确定位置。这就是所谓的“借形以为形”。这条经脉本来有名有形，后世认为它无状有名的说法，是不对的。这条经脉多气少血，与手厥阴心包经互为表里，气血在亥时注入此经。
其临床表现有：耳聋浑浑噩噩，咽喉疼痛喉痹，目锐眦角疼痛，耳后、肩部、肘臂外侧均疼痛，小指和次指不能随意使用。
该经脉的循行，接受手厥阴心包络经的气血交接，起始于小指和次指末端的关冲穴，向上出于次指之间，经过液门、中渚穴，沿手腕背侧的阳池穴，出臂外两骨之间；循行经过外关、支沟、会宗、三阳池、四渎穴，上行贯穿肘部，抵达天井穴；从天井穴上行，沿臂外侧，经过清冷渊、消泺穴，行于手太阳小肠经的内侧、手阳明大肠经的外侧，上至肩部，循行经过臑会、肩髎、天髎穴，交出足少阳胆经之后，经过手太阳小肠经的秉风穴、足少阳胆经的肩井穴，下行进入足阳明胃经的缺盆，再由足阳明胃经的外侧，交会于膻中，散布络绕于心包络，向下穿过膈肌，当胃上口处，归属于上焦；在中脘处，归属于中焦；在下脘处，归属于下焦。其分支，从任脉的膻中穴出来，出缺盆，上颈部挟耳后，经过督脉的大椎穴，循行天牖穴上抵耳后，经过翳风、颔厌、颅息穴，直上出于耳上角的角孙穴，经过足少阳胆经的悬厘、颔厌、阳白穴，及足太阳膀胱经睛明穴的分界处，弯曲下行至颊车穴，会合手太阳小肠经的颧髎穴；另一分支，从翳风穴进入耳中，经过手太阳小肠经的听宫穴，历经耳门穴行至于髎穴，却出至目锐眦，会合足少阳胆经的瞳子髎穴，循行丝竹空穴，交于足少阳胆经，自瞳子髎、听会穴下行。
The Luo-connecting vessel of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium has nine unique acupoints, starting from Tianchi (PC1) and Tianquan (PC2), extending through Quze (PC3) and Jianshi (PC5), connecting to Neiguan (PC6), with Daling (PC7) near Laogong (PC8), and finally reaching Zhongchong (PC9).
The Pericardium Luo vessel originates at Tianchi (PC1), located one cun posterior to the nipple and three cun below the axilla. Tianquan (PC2) is three cun below the axillary fold. Quze (PC3) is in the center of the depression at the cubital crease when the elbow is flexed. Jian Shi (PC5) [Note: Text refers to 'Men' but describes location of Jian Shi or implies distance contextually, standard text usually places Jian Shi 3 cun above wrist, Neiguan 2 cun. The text says "Men qu wan fang wu cun" which likely refers to a specific measurement point or typo for Jian Shi/Neiguan context, but strictly translating the location described]: five cun distal to the wrist crease. Jian Shi (PC5) is measured three cun proximal to the wrist crease. Neiguan (PC6) is two cun proximal to the wrist crease. Daling (PC7) is between the two tendons behind the palm. Laogong (PC8) is located by flexing the middle and ring fingers. Zhongchong (PC9) is detailed at the tip of the middle finger.

*Zhongzang Jing* states: The Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is the Qi of the Three Primes of the human body, commanding the Qi of the Zang-Fu organs, Ying-Wei (Nutritive-Defensive), meridians, and all internal, external, left, right, upper, and lower aspects. When the Sanjiao is unobstructed, the internal and external, left and right, upper and lower are all connected. In terms of irrigating the whole body, harmonizing the interior and exterior, nourishing the left and right, guiding the upper and promoting the lower, nothing is greater than this.
Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian: The Sanjiao is the Official of Drainage, from which water passages emerge. The Upper Jiao is located at the upper opening of the stomach, its treatment site being Danzhong (CV17); the Middle Jiao is at Zhongwan (CV12), its treatment site being beside the umbilicus; the Lower Jiao is above the bladder, its treatment site being one cun below the umbilicus. The Upper Jiao is like mist, the Middle Jiao like fermentation, and the Lower Jiao like a ditch. Although divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower, they actually penetrate from top to bottom and are all the True Yang Qi from between the kidneys. Within the diaphragmatic fat and between the Zang-Fu organs, at the junction where water and grain transform, Qi merges and steams the diaphragm, decomposes food, develops skin and muscles, and circulates to the four limbs. It is truly the Special Envoy of Yuan Qi (Original Qi). As the Special Envoy of Yuan Qi, because Yuan Qi relies on it for guidance, moving secretly throughout the body, it is called the Root of Life. The terms Upper, Middle, and Lower refer only to their respective parts; any empty space within the Zang-Fu and fatty membranes counts. Therefore, although it has no specific form, it takes its name based on the forms inside and outside; although it has no substantial organ, it establishes its position by combining internal and external functions. This is what is meant by "borrowing form to define form." This meridian originally had both name and form; the later view that it exists only as a name without shape is incorrect. This meridian is rich in Qi and poor in Blood, acting as the interior-exterior pair with the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian. Qi and Blood flow into this meridian during the Hai hour (9 PM - 11 PM).
Its clinical manifestations include: deafness with muffled hearing, sore throat and glottic obstruction, pain at the outer canthus, pain in the back of the ear, shoulder, and lateral aspect of the elbow and arm, and dysfunction of the little and ring fingers.
The meridian's pathway receives transmission from the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Luo vessel. It starts at Guanchong (TE1) at the radial side of the tip of the ring finger, emerges between the ring and index fingers, passes through Yesmen (TE2) and Zhongzhu (TE3), follows the Yangchi (TE4) on the dorsal aspect of the wrist, and emerges between the two bones of the forearm. It continues along Waiguan (TE5), Zhigou (TE6), Huizong (TE7), Sanyangluo (TE8), and Sidu (TE9), penetrates upward through the elbow, and reaches Tianjing (TE10). From Tianjing, it ascends along the lateral aspect of the arm, passing Qinglengyuan (GB11) and Xiaoluo (GB12), running medial to the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and lateral to the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. It ascends to the shoulder, passing Naohui (TE14), Jianliao (TE15), and Tianliao (TE16), emerging posterior to the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. It passes Bingfeng (SI12) of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and Jianjing (GB21) of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, descends into the Supraclavicular Fossa (Quepen) of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, then returns via the lateral aspect of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian to intersect at Danzhong (CV17). It spreads and networks around the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, attaches to the Upper Jiao at the upper opening of the stomach, attaches to the Middle Jiao at Zhongwan, and attaches to the Lower Jiao at Xiawan. A branch emerges from Danzhong (CV17), exits the supraclavicular fossa, ascends the neck alongside the ear, passes Dazhui (GV14) of the Du Vessel, follows Tianyou (TE16) to reach behind the ear, passes Yifeng (TE17), Xuanmai (GB37 - Note: Text says 'Xuanmai' but context suggests Shaofang or similar, sticking to text 'Xuanmai'), and Luxi (TB19), ascending directly to Jiaosun (TE20) at the upper corner of the ear. It passes Xuanli (GB37), Hanyan (GB18), and Yangbai (GB14) of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and the boundary of Jingming (BL1) of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. It curves down to the cheek, meeting Quanliao (SI18) of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Another branch enters the ear from Yifeng (TE17), passes Tinggong (SI19) of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, goes through Ermen (TE21) to Tinghui (GB2), emerges at the outer canthus, meets Tongziliao (GB1) of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, follows Sizhukong (TE23), and intersects with the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, descending from Tongziliao (GB1) and Tinghui (GB2).
