【阳维脉穴位图】（共十七穴）
外关：属于三焦经的穴位，位于手掌背面，距离腕横纹二寸，在两根肌腱之间的凹陷处，按压时感觉舒适。此穴主治风寒引起的经络及皮肤疾病。它与足临泣穴互为“主客”相应关系，凡治疗此类病症，必须先取外关穴进行针刺。
阳维脉起始于金门穴，经过阳交、日月、俞府（此处原文可能有误，结合上下文应为肩髎或类似，但依原文翻译为俞）、臂臑、肩井、天牖，经过风池、脑空，接续承灵穴，再至正营、目窗，并与足临泣相会，阳白穴仍沿循本神穴，最后在风府和哑门与督脉交会，左右两侧共计三十四穴。
【阳维脉分寸歌】
阳维脉的穴位起自足太阳膀胱经，在外踝下一寸处有金门穴藏匿；踝上七寸处是阳交穴；肋端日月穴与足少阳胆经交会；肩后胛骨上方寻找俞穴（此处指肩髃或相关穴，依原文译）；手臂肘上七寸处正当其位；肩上凹陷中是肩井穴；天牖穴位于缺盆（锁骨上窝）旁；耳后凹陷中风池穴交会于此；枕骨之下脑空穴显著；脑前一寸五分处是承灵穴；灵前一寸是正营穴所在。目窗穴只隔正营穴一寸，入发际五分处是足临泣穴的详细位置；阳白穴在眉端上一寸度量的地方；本神穴入发际四分计算；项后入发际处是哑门穴；入发际一寸处是风府穴的疆界。
【考正阳维穴道】
考察阳维脉的穴位，《类经》记载共有十三穴，其中没有日月、臂臑、承灵、目窗这四个穴位。李时珍记载左右共三十二穴，有居髎等穴交会，但没有日月、风府、哑门三穴。又考证《针灸大成》记载穴位共三十四穴，有交会穴但没有臂臑穴。综合各家考证《图经》中的穴位，去除没有阳维脉交会的穴位，记录有阳维脉交会的穴位，实际得到十七穴，左右两侧合计三十四穴。现在遵循《图经》的穴位归属，逐一详细阐明。金门穴是足太阳膀胱经的郄穴，阳维脉别出于此。起于足外踝下一寸，行于足少阳胆经的外踝上七寸处。阳跷穴是阳维脉的交会穴，位于第三肋骨端横向之处。日月穴，是足太阴脾经、足少阳胆经、阳维脉的交会穴。又与手足太阳经及跷脉交会于肩后大骨下，胛骨上方的肩髃俞穴处。肘上七寸的臂臑穴，是手足太阳经、阳维脉的交会穴。又会合于肩上凹陷中的肩井穴，缺盆中上锁骨际的天牖穴，是手足少阳经、阳维脉的交会穴。耳后凹陷中的风池穴，枕骨下的脑空穴，脑前一寸五分的承灵穴，灵前一寸的正营穴，隔营穴一寸的目窗穴，眉上一寸的阳白穴，入发际四分处的本神穴，都属于足少阳胆经、阳维脉的交会穴。足太阳膀胱经、足少阳胆经、阳维脉三脉交会的是入发际五分处的足临泣穴。项后入发际的哑门穴，入发际一寸的风府穴这两个穴位，是督脉、阳维脉的交会穴。
综上所述这些穴位，确实是阳维脉左右各十七穴，共三十四穴。在此清晰阐明，供后世贤者校正。
[Diagram of Acupoints of the Yang Linking Vessel] (Seventeen acupoints)
Waiguan (TE5): An acupoint of the Sanjiao Meridian, located on the dorsal aspect of the hand, two cun distal to the wrist crease, in the depression between the two tendons, comfortable to palpate. This point treats meridian and skin diseases caused by wind-cold. It has a master-disciple relationship with Zulinqi (GB41). In treating such conditions, Waiguan should be needled first.
The Yang Linking Vessel originates at Jinmen (BL63), passes through Yangjiao (GB35), Riyue (LR24), Shu (likely referring to Jianyu LI15 or similar based on context, but translated as Shu per text), Binao (LI14), Jianjing (GB21), Tianyou (TE16), passes Fengchi (GB20), Naokong (GB19), connects to Chengling (EX-HN6), then to Zhengying (EX-HN7), Mingguang (EX-HN8), meets with Zulinqi (GB41), Yangbai (GB14) still follows Benshen (GB13), and finally converges with the Du Meridian at Fengfu (DU16) and Yamen (DU15). There are thirty-four acupoints in total on both sides.
[Song of Measurements for Acupoints of the Yang Linking Vessel]
The acupoints of the Yang Linking Vessel originate from the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian; Jinmen (BL63) is hidden one cun below the lateral malleolus; Yangjiao (GB35) is seven cun above the ankle; Riyue (LR24) at the rib end meets the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian; seek the Shu acupoint (referring to Jianyu LI15 or similar shoulder region point) on the posterior scapula; Binao (LI14) is directly at seven cun above the elbow; Jianjing (GB21) is in the depression on the shoulder; Tianyou (TE16) is located beside the supraclavicular fossa (Quepen); Fengchi (GB20) meets in the depression behind the ear; Naokong (GB19) is prominent below the occipital bone; Chengling (EX-HN6) is one cun and five fen anterior to the brain; Zhengying (EX-HN7) is the site one cun anterior to Ling (Chengling). Mingguang (EX-HN8) is only one cun away from Zhengying; Zulinqi (GB41) is detailed at five fen entering the hairline; Yangbai (GB14) is measured one cun above the eyebrow tip; Benshen (GB13) is calculated at four fen entering the hairline; Yamen (DU15) is at the hairline entering from the back of the neck; Fengfu (DU16) is the boundary one cun entering the hairline.
[Verification of Acupoints of the Yang Linking Vessel]
Examining the acupoints of the Yang Linking Vessel, *Lei Jing* records thirteen acupoints, lacking Riyue (LR24), Binao (LI14), Chengling (EX-HN6), and Mingguang (EX-HN8). Li Shizhen records thirty-two acupoints on both sides, having Juliao (BL33) etc. meetings but lacking Riyue (LR24), Fengfu (DU16), and Yamen (DU15). Further examination of *Zhenjiu Dacheng* records thirty-four acupoints, having meeting points but lacking Binao (LI14). Synthesizing various families' research on the *Tu Jing* (Illustrated Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), removing those without Yang Linking Vessel meetings and recording those with meetings, we actually obtain seventeen acupoints, totaling thirty-four on both sides. Now following the *Tu Jing* acupoint attributions, I clarify them one by one. Jinmen (BL63) is the Xi-Cleft point of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, from which the Yang Linking Vessel branches off. It starts one cun below the lateral malleolus of the foot and runs seven cun above the lateral malleolus along the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. The Yang Qiao point is a meeting point of the Yang Linking Vessel, located transversely at the end of the third rib. Riyue (LR24) is a meeting of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Yang Linking Vessel. It also meets with the Hand and Foot Taiyang Meridians and the Qiao Meridians at Jianyu (LI15) on the upper scapula below the greater tubercle of the humerus. Binao (LI14) at seven cun above the elbow is a meeting of the Hand and Foot Taiyang Meridians and the Yang Linking Vessel. It also converges with Jianjing (GB21) in the shoulder depression, and Tianyou (TE16) at the upper border of the clavicle in the supraclavicular fossa, which is a meeting of the Hand and Foot Shaoyang Meridians and the Yang Linking Vessel. Fengchi (GB20) in the ear posterior depression, Naokong (GB19) under the occipital bone, Chengling (EX-HN6) one cun and five fen anterior to the brain, Zhengying (EX-HN7) one cun anterior to Ling, Mingguang (EX-HN8) one cun separated from Ying, Yangbai (GB14) one cun above the eyebrow, and Benshen (GB13) four fen entering the hairline all belong to the meetings of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian and the Yang Linking Vessel. Zulinqi (GB41) five fen entering the hairline is the meeting of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Yang Linking Vessel. Yamen (DU15) entering the hairline at the back of the neck and Fengfu (DU16) one cun entering the hairline are meetings of the Du Meridian and the Yang Linking Vessel.
Summarizing the above acupoints, there are indeed thirty-four acupoints (seventeen on each side) of the Yang Linking Vessel. Clarified here for future sages to verify.
