足少阴肾经的经脉，起始于足小趾下方，斜向行走至足心（此处即涌泉穴，意为趋向于此）。从然谷穴下方出来，沿着内踝后方走行，分支进入脚跟。向上沿大腿内侧后缘上行，贯穿脊柱（在此处与长强穴交会），归属于肾脏，联络膀胱。其直行支脉，从肾脏发出（在肓俞穴处属肾，该穴位于商曲穴下一寸，距脐旁五分），向上穿过肝脏和膈肌，进入肺部，沿着喉咙走行，夹持舌根。其分支，从肺部发出（自神藏穴别出，统摄于心），出来联络心脏，注入胸中（在膻中穴处分交于手厥阴心包经）。
（此经又名手心主经，二名实相火。）
手厥阴心包经的经脉，起始于胸中，出来归属于心包，向下穿过膈肌，依次联络上、中、下三焦（上脘、中脘及脐下一寸分别为上、中、下三焦的分野）。其分支，沿着胸部走出胁部，下行至腋下三寸（此处为天池穴，位于腋下三寸，乳后一寸，附着于胁肋，直对腋下的举筋之间），向上抵达腋下，向下沿着上臂内侧走行，行在手太阴肺经和手少阴心经之间，进入肘中（此处为曲泽穴，位于肘横纹内侧端凹陷中，屈肘取穴）。向下沿前臂走行，行于两筋之间，进入掌中（此处为劳宫穴），沿着中指直达其末端（此处为中冲穴，位于手中指末端）。其分支，从掌中分出（自劳宫穴别行），沿着无名指出行到达其末端（无名指即小指次指，在此处与手少阳三焦经交接）。
（三焦是水谷运行的道路，也是气机终始之处。上焦位于胃的上口，其治疗部位在膻中；中焦位于胃的中脘，其治疗部位在脐旁；下焦位于膀胱的上口，其治疗部位在脐下一寸。）
手少阳三焦经的经脉，起始于无名指的末端（此处为关冲穴分野），向上出于食指与无名指之间，沿着手臂外侧手腕（前臂骨尽头处为腕）走行，出于前臂外侧两根骨头之间，向上贯穿肘部（前臂骨尽头处为肘，天井穴位于肘内侧大骨后一寸，两筋间凹陷中，屈肘可取到）。沿着上臂外侧（肘与膊之间，膊下对腋处为上臂），向上经过肩部，交出足少阳胆经之后，进入缺盆，交于膻中，散布联络心包，向下穿过膈肌，广泛归属于上、中、下三焦（向下穿过膈肌，当胃上口处以归属上焦，在中脘处以归属中焦，在阴交处以归属下焦）。其分支，从膻中向上出于缺盆，上达颈部（脑户穴后方为颈项），夹耳后直上，出于耳上角（此处为角孙穴），然后弯曲下行至面颊，到达眼眶下（目下为颧，此处为颧髎穴分野）。另一分支，从耳后分出（此处为翳风穴分野），进入耳中，再出来到达目外眦（会瞳子髎、丝竹空，与足少阳胆经交接）。
The Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian originates below the little toe, slanting towards the center of the foot (where Yongquan GV1 is located, meaning "to tend towards"). It emerges below RanGu KI2, follows the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus, and a branch enters the heel. Ascending along the posterior medial aspect of the thigh, it penetrates the spine (intersecting with Changqiang GV1), belongs to the Kidney, and connects with the Bladder. The straight branch rises from the Kidney (at Huangshu KI16, where it belongs to the Kidney; this point is one cun below Shangqu KI15, 0.5 cun lateral to the umbilicus), passes through the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lung, follows the throat, and flanks the root of the tongue. Another branch emerges from the Lung (diverging from Shencang LU13, governing the Heart), emerges to connect with the Heart, and pours into the chest center (at Tanzhong CV17, where it intersects with the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium meridian).
(Also known as the Hand-Shaoyin meridian, or Second Name: Real Ministerial Fire.)
The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium meridian originates in the chest center, emerges to belong to the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and successively connects with the Upper, Middle, and Lower Jiao (Shangwan CV13, Zhongwan CV12, and one cun below the umbilicus represent the divisions of the Upper, Middle, and Lower Jiao respectively). A branch follows the chest, emerges from the hypochondrium, and descends three cun below the axilla (here is Tianchi PC1, located three cun below the axilla, one cun behind the nipple, attached to the rib, directly opposite the tendon raised when lifting the arm). It ascends to reach the axilla, then descends along the medial aspect of the upper arm, running between the Hand-Taiyin Lung meridian and the Hand-Shaoyin Heart meridian, entering the elbow center (here is Quze PC3, located in the depression at the medial end of the transverse cubital crease, obtained by flexing the elbow). Descending along the forearm, it runs between two tendons, enters the palm center (here is Laogong PC8), follows the middle finger to its tip (here is Zhongchong PC9, located at the tip of the middle finger on the hand). Another branch diverges from the palm center (diverging from Laogong PC8), follows the ring finger to its tip (the ring finger is also called the fourth finger; here it intersects with the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian).
(The Sanjiao is the pathway for food and fluids, and the beginning and end of Qi. The Upper Jiao is located at the upper opening of the Stomach, its treatment site is Tanzhong CV17; the Middle Jiao is located at the middle of the Stomach (Zhongwan CV12), its treatment site is beside the umbilicus; the Lower Jiao is located at the upper opening of the Bladder, its treatment site is one cun below the umbilicus.)
The Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian originates at the tip of the ring finger (here is the division of Guanchong SJ1), ascends out between the index and ring fingers, follows the dorsal aspect of the wrist (the end of the forearm bone is the wrist), emerges between the two bones of the forearm, ascends through the elbow (the end of the forearm bone is the elbow; Tianjing SJ10 is located one cun posterior to the medial epicondyle of the humerus, in the depression between two tendons, obtained by flexing the elbow). Following the lateral aspect of the upper arm (between the elbow and shoulder, opposite the axilla), it ascends over the shoulder, emerging posterior to the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian, enters the supraclavicular fossa (Quepen LI15), intersects at Tanzhong CV17, scatters and connects with the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and extensively belongs to the Upper, Middle, and Lower Jiao (descending through the diaphragm, at the upper opening of the Stomach to belong to the Upper Jiao, at Zhongwan CV12 to belong to the Middle Jiao, at Yinjiao CV10 to belong to the Lower Jiao). A branch emerges from Tanzhong CV17, ascends out of the supraclavicular fossa, reaches the neck (the area posterior to Naohu GV16 is the neck), flanks the ear, ascends straight to the upper angle of the ear (here is Jiaosun TE20), then bends down to the cheek, reaching the infraorbital region (below the eye is the zygoma; here is the division of Quanliao SI18). Another branch diverges from behind the ear (here is the division of Yifeng TE17), enters the ear, emerges again to reach the outer canthus (intersecting with Tongziliao GB1 and Sizhukong TE23, connecting with the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian).
