膀胱者,州都之官,津液藏焉,气化则能出矣。膀胱当十九椎,居肾之下,大肠之前,有下口无上口。当
脐上一寸水分穴处,为小肠下口,乃膀胱上际,水液出此,别回肠,随气泌渗而入。其出其入,皆由气化。
入气不化,则水归大肠而为泄泻;出气不化,则闭塞下窍而为癃肿。后世诸书有言其有上口无下口,
有言上下俱有口者,皆非。是经多血少气。《难经》曰∶“膀胱重九两二铢,纵广九寸,盛溺九升九
合;口广二寸半。”
膀者,言其横于前阴之旁以通水也。胱者,言其质之薄而明也。合而言之,以其由虚而实,旁通水道也。
下联前阴,溺之所出。

肾者,作强之官,伎巧出焉。肾附于脊之十四椎下。是经常少血多气。其合骨也,其荣发也。开窍于二
阴。《难经》曰∶“肾有两枚,重一斤二两。主藏精与志。”华元化曰∶“肾者。精神之舍,性命之根。”肾
有两枚,形如豇豆,相并而曲附于脊之两傍,相去合一寸五分。外有黄脂包裹。各有带二条,上条系于
心,下条趋脊下大骨,在脊骨之端如半手许,中有两穴,是肾带经过处,上行脊髓,至脑中,连于髓海。
肾,任也。主骨而任周身之事。故强弱系之。

膀胱是州都之官,津液藏于此,经过气化作用才能排出。膀胱位于第十九椎处,在肾脏下方,大肠前方,有下口而无上口。在肚脐上一寸的水分穴处,是小肠的下口,也是膀胱的上界,水液由此流出,别出回肠,随着气化渗透而入。其进入和排出,都由气化作用决定。如果入的气不能气化,则水液流入大肠导致泄泻;如果出的气不能气化,则闭塞下窍导致小便不通或肿胀。后世许多书籍说它有上口无下口,或者说上下都有口的,都不正确。这条经脉多血少气。《难经》说:“膀胱重九两二铢,纵横九寸,盛装尿液九升九合;口宽二寸半。”
“膀”字,是说它横在前阴旁边以通利水道。“胱”字,是说它的质地薄而透明。合起来说,是因为它由虚变实,旁通水道。
下端连接前阴,是尿液排出的地方。

肾是作强之官,技巧由此产生。肾脏附着在脊柱第十四椎下方。这条经脉常表现为少血多气。它的华彩表现在骨骼,荣华表现在头发。开窍于前后二阴。《难经》说:“肾有两枚,重一斤二两。主要储藏精气和志意。”华元化说:“肾是精神的居所,性命的根本。”肾有两枚,形状像豇豆,并列弯曲附着在脊柱两旁,相距一寸五分。外面有黄色脂肪包裹。各有两条系带,上条系连心脏,下条趋向脊柱下方的大骨,在脊骨末端约半手长的地方,中间有两个穴位,是肾带经过的地方,向上行入脊髓,到达脑中,连属于髓海。
“肾”,即“任”的意思。主管骨骼并承担全身的事务。所以身体的强弱取决于它。

The Bladder is the official of the capital, where fluids are stored; it can discharge them only through Qi transformation. The Bladder is located at the level of the nineteenth thoracic vertebra, below the Kidney and anterior to the Large Intestine. It has a lower opening but no upper opening. At the point Shuifen (CV9), one cun above the umbilicus, which is the lower opening of the Small Intestine and the upper boundary of the Bladder, fluid exits here, separating from the ileum and entering via permeation driven by Qi. Both its entry and exit depend on Qi transformation. If the Qi of entry fails to transform, water flows into the Large Intestine causing diarrhea; if the Qi of exit fails to transform, the lower orifices become obstructed leading to strangury or swelling. Later texts stating it has an upper opening but no lower opening, or that it has openings at both ends, are incorrect. This meridian contains abundant blood and little Qi. The *Nan Jing* states: "The Bladder weighs nine taels and two zhu, measures nine inches in length and width, holds nine sheng and nine he of urine; its opening is two inches and a half wide."
"Bang" refers to its horizontal position beside the external genitalia to facilitate water passage. "Guang" refers to its thin and transparent nature. Taken together, it implies that it becomes full from empty and connects laterally with the water pathways.
Its lower end connects to the external genitalia, which is the outlet for urine.

The Kidney is the official of strength and power, from whom skills and ingenuity arise. The Kidney attaches below the fourteenth thoracic vertebra of the spine. This meridian typically presents with little blood and abundant Qi. Its manifestation is in the bones, and its luster is in the hair. It opens into the two yin orifices (urethra and anus). The *Nan Jing* states: "There are two Kidneys, weighing one jin and two liang. They primarily store Essence and Zhi (Will)." Hua Yuanhua said: "The Kidney is the residence of Spirit and the root of life." There are two Kidneys, shaped like kidney beans, lying side by side and curved against the sides of the spine, separated by one cun and five fen. They are wrapped externally in yellow fat. Each has two ligaments; the upper ligament attaches to the Heart, and the lower ligament tends toward the large bone below the spine. At the end of the spinal bone, approximately half a hand's length away, there are two acupoints, which are the passages for the Kidney ligaments. These ascend into the spinal marrow, reach the brain, and connect to the Sea of Marrow.
"Kidney" (Shen) implies "bearing" or "responsibility" (Ren). It governs the bones and bears the affairs of the whole body. Therefore, physical strength and weakness depend upon it.
