胆重三两三铢，长三寸，在肝之短叶间，盛精汁三合。《素问》曰∶胆者，中正之官，决断出焉。
《本藏》篇曰∶肝应爪，爪浓色黄者胆浓，爪薄色红者胆薄，爪坚色青者胆急，爪濡色赤者胆缓，爪直色自无约者
胆直，爪恶色黑多纹者胆结也。
足少阳兮四十三，瞳子 近听会间，客主人在颔厌集，悬颅悬厘曲鬓前，由率谷天冲而下，见浮白窍阴之妍，完骨
露兮本神阳白，临泣见兮目窗与连，正营承居其后，脑空穴继灵而安，风池肩井兮渊液，辄筋日月兮京门，辟带脉五枢
由维道居 而续，环跳风市抵中渎，饮阳关之阳陵泉，至阳交之外丘间，光明阳辅悬钟可瞻，丘墟临泣地五会，侠溪窍
阴而胆经全。
足少阳兮四十三，头上廿穴分三折，起自瞳子至风池，积数陈之根据次第，瞳子 近 五分，耳前陷中寻听会（耳微
前陷中，上关下一寸）。客主人名上关同，耳前起骨开口空，颔厌悬颅之二穴，脑空上廉曲角下（脑空即 颔厌、悬

足少阳胆经图
胆的重量为三两三铢，长度三寸，位于肝脏短叶之间，能容纳三合精汁。《素问》说：胆是中正之官，决断的功能由此产生。
《本藏》篇说：肝与爪甲相应，爪甲厚而颜色黄的，说明胆厚；爪甲薄而颜色红的，说明胆薄；爪甲坚硬而颜色青的，说明胆气急迫；爪甲濡软而颜色赤的，说明胆气舒缓；爪甲直而色泽正常无约束感的，说明胆气正直；爪甲枯恶、颜色黑且多纹路的，说明胆气郁结。
足少阳胆经共有四十三穴，瞳子髎穴靠近听会穴之间，客主人（上关穴）在颔厌穴聚集处，悬颅穴和悬厘穴在曲鬓穴之前，由率谷穴、天冲穴向下行，可见浮白穴、窍阴穴的形态，完骨穴显露，接着是本神穴、阳白穴，临泣穴出现，随后见到目窗穴和连竹穴（注：原文“连”通常指承灵或邻近穴，此处依文意译为连及），正营穴、承灵穴在其后，脑空穴继之，灵道穴（注：此处原文“灵”可能指灵台或笔误，结合上下文多为头部穴位，若指颈部则不符，但依原文翻译）得以安设，风池穴、肩井穴、渊液穴（辄筋），辄筋穴、日月穴、京门穴，带脉穴通过五枢穴，由维道穴接续，环跳穴、风市穴抵达中渎穴，经过阳关穴到达阳陵泉穴，至阳交穴和外丘穴之间，光明穴、阳辅穴、悬钟穴可供瞻视，丘墟穴、足临泣穴、地五会穴，侠溪穴、窍阴穴，至此胆经穴位完整。
足少阳胆经共有四十三穴，头部二十个穴位分为三段折线分布，起始于瞳子髎穴直至风池穴，累计数量按顺序陈述。瞳子髎穴距离眼角五分，在耳前凹陷处寻找听会穴（耳朵微前方凹陷处，上关穴下一寸）。客主人即上关穴同名，在耳前起骨处张口有空隙，颔厌穴和悬颅穴两个穴位，在脑空穴上廉、曲角之下（脑空穴即位于颔厌、悬颅二穴下方，曲角之上），悬厘穴的位置与此不同，在脑空穴下廉、曲角之上，曲鬓穴在耳上发际角的凹陷处（耳上发际弯曲角落的凹陷中），率谷穴在耳上一寸半处安放（此穴在耳上方少许），天冲穴在耳后入发际二寸处，浮白穴入发际一寸间（也在耳后方少许），窍阴穴即是枕骨下的穴位，完骨穴之上有空隙相连（在完骨穴上，枕骨下，摇动时有空隙）。完骨穴在耳后入发际处，量得四分需记住，本神穴在神庭穴旁开三寸，入发际一寸，位于耳上系处。阳白穴在眉毛上方一寸，发上五分处用临泣穴定位（眼睛上方，直入发际五分凹陷中），发上一寸当阳穴，发上寸半处为目窗穴，正营穴发上二寸半，承灵穴发上四寸拥，脑空穴发上五寸半，风池穴在耳后发际凹陷中（耳后，风府穴后，脑空穴下，发际凹陷中）。
（至此共计二十穴，分作三段向外而行，始自瞳子髎至完骨是一段折线；又是从完骨外折，上至阳白会睛明是一段折线；又是从睛明上行循行临泣、风池是一段折线。因为其穴位曲折向外较多，难以强行测量，所以在此按顺序讲述这二十个穴位。）歌诀说：一瞳子髎二听会，三客主人兮四颔厌，五悬颅兮六悬厘，第七数起曲鬓随。八率谷兮九天冲，十浮白兮之穴从，十一窍阴亦相继，十二完骨一段折终。又自十三本神始，十四阳白二段折随，十五临泣在目下穴，十六目窗之穴宜，十七正营十八承灵，十九脑户廿风池，根据次序细心度量取穴，胆经头部穴位我知晓。肩井穴在肩上凹陷处寻求，大骨之前一寸半（肩上凹陷处，缺盆上，大骨前一寸半，用三指按压，当中指陷中），渊腋穴在腋下方向三寸，辄筋穴在期门穴下五分判定。期门穴却是肝经的开经穴，距离巨阙穴四寸半，日月穴在期门穴下五分，京门穴在监骨下腰部绊住处（监骨下，腰中季胁本夹脊，肾之募穴）。带脉穴在章门下十八寸，五枢穴在章下四寸八分贯穿（五枢穴，距带脉三寸，季胁下四寸八分），维道穴在章下五寸三，居髎穴在章下八寸三。章门穴原是肝经穴位，在下脘穴旁九寸含，环跳穴在髀枢宛宛中（髀枢中，侧卧，屈上足，伸下足，以右手摸穴，左摇撼取之），屈上伸下取穴相同。风市穴垂手中指尽处，膝上五寸中渎穴论述（髀外侧，膝上五寸，肉间凹陷中），阳关穴在阳陵泉上三寸，阳陵泉在膝下一寸从。阳交穴在外辅骨上七寸，踝上六寸外丘穴使用，踝上五寸光明穴，踝上四寸阳辅穴分，踝上三寸悬钟穴在，丘墟穴在踝前凹陷中。从此去侠溪穴四寸五，却是胆经原穴功效，临泣穴在侠溪穴后寸半，地五会穴离侠溪穴一寸，侠溪穴在脚趾歧骨问，窍阴穴在第四、第五两指端。（足少阳胆经穴位，在头部的最难找；如果寻找不知慎防祸患不转眼即至。共计四十三穴，左右共八十六穴）
Figure of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian
The gallbladder weighs three taels and three zhu, is three cun in length, and is located between the short lobes of the liver. It holds three he of essence juice (jingzhi). The *Suwen* states: "The gallbladder is the official of uprightness; decisiveness arises from it."
The *Ben Cang* chapter states: "The liver corresponds to the nails. If the nails are thick and yellow in color, the gallbladder is thick; if the nails are thin and red in color, the gallbladder is thin; if the nails are hard and blue in color, the gallbladder's qi is urgent; if the nails are soft and red in color, the gallbladder's qi is slow; if the nails are straight with normal luster and no constraint, the gallbladder's qi is upright; if the nails are withered, ugly, black in color, and have many lines, the gallbladder's qi is knotted."
The Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian has 43 acupoints. Tongziliao (GB1) is near Tinghui (GB2). Kemuzhuren (Shangguan, GB12) gathers at Hanyan (GB5), while Xuanlu (GB6) and Xuanli (GB7) are anterior to Qubin (GB7). Descending from Shuai Gu (GB8) and Tianchong (GB9), one sees the forms of Fubai (GB10) and Qiaoyin (GB11). Wanggu (GB12) is exposed, followed by Benshen (GB13) and Yangbai (GB14). Linqi (Zulinqi, GB41) appears, then Mucuang (GB15) and Lianzhu (likely Chengling or adjacent point). Zhengying (GB17) and Chengling (GB18) follow behind. Naokong (GB19) succeeds, and Lingdao (note: likely a textual variant or error for a neck/head point like Fengchi contextually, but translated as per text) is settled. Fengchi (GB20), Jianjing (GB21), Yuanye (Zhieren, GB22) are present. Zhiren (GB24), Riyue (GB25), Jingmen (GB25) are listed. Dai Mai (GB26) passes through Wushu (GB27), continued by Weidao (GB28). Huantiao (GB30) and Fengshi (GB31) reach Zhongdu (GB32). Passing Yangguan (GB33) to reach Yanglingquan (GB34), up to Yangjiao (GB35) and Waixiu (GB36). Guangming (GB37), Yangfu (GB38), and Xuanzhong (GB39) can be viewed. Qiuxu (GB40), Zulinqi (GB41), and Diwuhui (GB42) are noted. Xiaxi (GB43) and Qiaoyin (GB44/GB45 depending on counting, text says Qiaoyin completes meridian), thus the Gallbladder Meridian is complete.
The Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian has 43 points, with 20 head points divided into three segments. Starting from Tongziliao (GB1) to Fengchi (GB20), the cumulative count is stated in order. Tongziliao (GB1) is five fen from the eye corner; seek Tinghui (GB2) in the depression anterior to the ear (slightly anterior to the ear, one cun below Shangguan). Kemuzhuren is another name for Shangguan (GB12); there is an opening when the mouth opens in the bone rising anterior to the ear. The two points Hanyan (GB5) and Xuanlu (GB6) are below the upper border of Naokong and under the curved angle (Naokong is below Hanyan and Xuanlu, above the curved angle). The position of Xuanli (GB7) differs here; it is above the lower border of Naokong and above the curved angle. Qubin (GB7) is in the depression at the corner of the hairline above the ear (depression in the curved corner of the hairline above the ear). Shuaigu (GB8) is placed one and a half cun above the ear (this point is slightly above the ear). Tianchong (GB9) is two cun entering the hairline behind the ear. Fubai (GB10) is between one cun entering the hairline (also slightly behind the ear). Qiaoyin (GB11) is the point at the occipital bone; there is a connection of emptiness above Wanggu (GB12) (above Wanggu, below the occipital bone, empty upon shaking). Wanggu (GB12) is where the hairline enters behind the ear; measure four fen and remember this. Benshen (GB13) is three cun lateral to Shenting (GV24), entering the hairline one cun, tied to the side of the ear. Yangbai (GB14) is one cun above the eyebrow, using Linqi (Zulinqi, GB41) at five fen above the hairline (above the eye, directly entering the hairline five fen in the depression). One cun above the hairline is Dangyang (GB16); one and a half cun above is Mucuang (GB15). Zhengying (GB17) is two and a half cun above the hairline; Chengling (GB18) is four cun above; Naokong (GB19) is five and a half cun above; Fengchi (GB20) is in the depression of the hairline behind the ear (behind the ear, posterior to Fengfu (GV16), below Naokong, in the hairline depression).
(Herein counts twenty points, divided into three folds moving outward. The first fold starts from Tongziliao (GB1) to Wanggu (GB12); the second fold turns outward from Wanggu (GB12) up to Yangbai (GB14) meeting Jingming (BL1); the third fold goes upward from Jingming (BL1) following Zulinqi (GB41) and Fengchi (GB20). Because the points curve outward significantly, making measurement difficult, these twenty points are described in sequence here.) The song says: One Tongziliao, two Tinghui; three Kemuzhuren, four Hanyan; five Xuanlu, six Xuanli; seven follows Qubin. Eight Shuaigu, nine Tianchong; ten Fubai follows its point; eleven Qiaoyin also succeeds; twelve Wanggu ends the first fold. Thirteen begins with Benshen; fourteen Yangbai follows the second fold; fifteen Zulinqi is the point below the eye; sixteen Mucuang is suitable; seventeen Zhengying, eighteen Chengling; nineteen Naohu (Note: Text says Naohu, likely error for Naokong or similar, translated as Naohu/GV16 contextually or typo for Naokong), twenty Fengchi. Measure carefully according to the sequence, and I know the head points of the Gallbladder Meridian. Seek Jianjing (GB21) in the depression on the shoulder, one and a half cun anterior to the large bone (depression on the shoulder, above Quepen, one and a half cun anterior to the clavicle/acromion; press with three fingers, in the depression of the middle finger). Yuanye (Zhiren, GB22) is three cun below the axilla; Zhiren (GB24) is judged five fen below Qimen (LR14). Qimen (LR14) is actually the opening point of the Liver Meridian, four and a half cun away from Juque (CV14). Riyue (GB25) is five fen below Qimen (LR14). Jingmen (GB25) is bound by the waist below the monitoring bone (below the monitoring bone, in the waist at the root of the costal margin flanking the spine, the Mu-Point of the Kidney). Dai Mai (GB26) is eighteen [units/cun implied] below Zhangmen (LR13); Wushu (GB27) penetrates four cun eight fen below Zhangmen (Wushu is three cun from Dai Mai, four cun eight fen below the costal margin). Weidao (GB28) is five cun three [fen?] below Zhangmen; Juliao (GB29) is eight cun three [fen?] below Zhangmen. Zhangmen (LR13) is originally a Liver Meridian point, contained nine cun lateral to Xiawan (CV10). Huantiao (GB30) is in the hollow of the Bi Shu (hip pivot) (in the hip pivot, lie on side, flex upper leg, extend lower leg, use right hand to feel the point, shake left to locate); flexing upper and extending lower yields the same point. Fengshi (GB31) reaches the tip of the middle finger when hanging down; Zhongdu (GB32) is discussed at five cun above the knee (lateral thigh, five cun above knee, in the depression between muscles). Yangguan (GB33) is three cun above Yanglingquan (GB34); Yanglingquan (GB34) follows one cun below the knee. Yangjiao (GB35) is seven cun above the external malleolus on the fibula; Waixiu (GB36) is used at six cun above the ankle. Guangming (GB37) is at five cun above the ankle; Yangfu (GB38) is at four cun above the ankle; Xuanzhong (GB39) is at three cun above the ankle. Qiuxu (GB40) is in the depression anterior to the ankle. From here to Xiaxi (GB43) is four cun five fen; this is the efficacy of the Yuan-Source point of the Gallbladder Meridian. Zulinqi (GB41) is one and a half cun posterior to Xiaxi (GB43); Diwuhui (GB42) is one cun away from Xiaxi (GB43). Xiaxi (GB43) is between the divergent bones of the toes; Qiaoyin (GB44/45) is at the tips of the fourth and fifth toes. (The points of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian on the head are the most difficult to find; if you do not know how to search, beware of disaster turning instantly. Total 43 points, 86 points bilateral.)
