手太阴肺十一穴，中府云门天府诀，侠白尺泽孔最存，列缺经渠太渊涉，鱼际少商
如韭叶（左右二十二穴）。
此一经起于中府，终始少商，取少商、鱼际、太渊、经渠、尺泽与井荥俞经合也。
脉起中焦，下络大肠，还循胃口，上膈属肺。从肺系横出腋下，循 内行少阴心主之
前，下肘中，循臂内上骨下廉，入寸口，上鱼。循鱼际出大指端。其支者，从腕后列缺穴，
直出次指内廉出其端，交手阳明也。多气少血，寅时注此。
辛金之脏，脉居右寸，实则脉实，上热气粗兼鼻壅，泻必辛凉。虚则脉虚，少气不足息
低微，补须酸热，橘甘下痰气之神方，姜除去气嗽之圣药。七情郁结因而喘，沉香乌药参槟
；胸痞喘急彻而痛，半夏栝蒌桔梗。鼻塞不通，丸荆穗澄茄薄荷；鼻渊不止，末龙脑苍芷辛
夷。百花却去红痰，二母偏除热嗽。黄连赤茯阿胶，抑心火而清肺脏，诃子杏仁通草，利久
嗽以出喉音，流注疼痛因痰饮，半夏倍于朴硝；瘾疹痒痛为风热，苦参少于皂荚。哮嗽
，兜铃蝉蜕杏（除尖）砒霜（少入），热壅咽喉，鸡苏荆芥桔防风，参牛甘草消酒疸，轻粉硫
黄去鼻痔。白矾甘遂白砒霜性情实重，入豆豉偏治 喘；百草霜气味虽轻，和海盐却消舌肿
。甜葶苈良治肺痈，苦熊胆寒涂肠痔。琼玉膏理嗽调元，流金丹清痰降火。人参非大剂不补
，少则凝滞，大则流通；黄芩非枯薄不泻，细则凉肠，枯则清金，升麻白芷，东垣曾云报使
；葱白麻黄，仲景常用引经。紫菀五味能补敛，桑白防风实开通。寒热温凉，名方选辨，轻
重缓急，指下详明，更参一字之秘，价值千金之重，会得其中旨，草木总皆空。
《导引本经》∶肺为五脏之华盖，声音之所从出，皮肤赖之而润泽者也。人惟内伤七情
，外感六淫，而呼吸出入不定，肺金于是乎不清矣。然欲清金，必先调息，息调则动患不生，而
心
微，此为真息也。盖息从心起，心静气调，息息归根，金丹之母，《心印经》曰∶回风混合
，百日通灵。《内经》曰∶秋三月，此谓容平，天气以急，地气以明，早卧早起，与鸡俱兴
，使志安宁，以缓秋刑，收敛神气，使秋气平。无外其志，使肺气清。逆之则伤肺。若过食
瓜果，宜微利一行，静息二日，以薤白粥加羊肾空心补之；如无羊肾，以猪腰代之，胜服补
剂。秋当温足凉头，其时清肃之气，与体收敛也。自夏至以来，阴气渐旺，当薄衽席，以培
寿基。其或夏伤于暑，至秋发为 疟，阳上阴下，交争为寒；阳下阴上，交争为热。寒热
交争，皆肺之受病，如二少阳脉微弦，即是夏食生冷，积滞留中，至秋变为痢疾。如足阳明
、太阴微弦濡而紧，乃反时之脉，病恐危急。然秋脉当如毫毛，治法详后与前也。《素问》
云∶秋伤于湿，冬生咳嗽，纯阳归空。《秘法》云∶行住坐卧常噤口，呼吸调息定音声
，甘津玉液频频咽，无非润肺，使邪火下降，而清肺金也。

手太阴肺经共有十一个穴位，分别是中府、云门、天府、侠白、尺泽、孔最、列缺、经渠、太渊、鱼际和少商（左右两侧共二十二穴）。
这条经脉起始于中府穴，终止于少商穴，选取少商、鱼际、太渊、经渠、尺泽等穴，对应井、荥、俞、经、合五输穴。
脉气起源于中焦，向下联络大肠，返回沿着胃的上口，穿过膈肌，归属于肺脏。从肺系（气管、喉咙等）横向走出腋下，沿上臂内侧行于手少阴心经和手厥阴心包经之前，下行至肘中，沿前臂内侧桡骨下缘，进入寸口，上行至大鱼际。沿鱼际边缘，出于大拇指尖端。其分支，从腕后列缺穴分出，直出食指内侧端，与手阳明大肠经交接。此经多气少血，寅时气血注于此经。
肺为辛金之脏，脉象位于右寸部。实证则脉实，伴有上热、气粗兼鼻塞壅塞，治疗必须用辛凉之法泻之。虚证则脉虚，气息短少不足以呼吸且声音低微，治疗必须用酸温之法补之。橘皮、甘草是降痰气的良方，生姜是祛除气嗽的圣药。七情郁结导致气喘，可用沉香、乌药、人参、槟榔；胸膈痞闷、气喘急促甚至彻痛，可用半夏、瓜蒌、桔梗。鼻塞不通，可用荆芥穗、澄茄、薄荷制成丸剂；鼻渊（鼻窦炎）不止，可用龙脑、苍耳子、辛夷研末。百花可去除红痰，知母、贝母偏除热嗽。黄连、赤茯苓、阿胶，能抑制心火而清肺脏；诃子、杏仁、通草，能利久咳以恢复喉音。流注疼痛因痰饮引起，半夏用量倍于朴硝；瘾疹瘙痒疼痛因风热引起，苦参用量少于皂荚。哮嗽，可用天竺葵、蝉蜕、杏仁（去尖）、少量砒霜；热邪壅滞咽喉，可用鸡苏散、荆芥、桔梗、防风；人参、牛黄、甘草可消酒疸；轻粉、硫黄可去鼻痔。白矾、甘遂、白砒霜性质沉重猛烈，加入豆豉可偏治喘证；百草霜气味虽轻，配合海盐却可消舌肿。甜葶苈善于治疗肺痈，苦熊胆性寒，外涂可治肠痔。琼玉膏调理咳嗽、固本培元，流金丹清热化痰降火。人参若非大剂量则无补益之功，小剂量则易凝滞，大剂量则能流通；黄芩若非枯薄者则无泻火之效，细者凉肠，枯者清金。升麻、白芷，李东垣曾称其为引经报使之药；葱白、麻黄，张仲景常用作引经药。紫菀、五味子能补敛肺气，桑白皮、防风能实表开通。寒热温凉，名方需仔细辨别，轻重缓急，指下诊断要详明，若能领悟其中奥秘，即便草木之药也价值千金，若不得其法，草木皆成空谈。
《导引本经》记载：肺是五脏的华盖，声音由此发出，皮肤依赖它而润泽。人如果内伤七情，外感六淫，导致呼吸出入不定，肺金因此就不清净了。然而想要清金，必须先调息，气息调和则动患不生，心神安宁，这才是真息。因为息由心起，心静则气调，息息归根，这是金丹之母。《心印经》说：“回风混合，百日通灵。”《内经》说：“秋季三个月，称为容平，天气急劲，地气清明，应早睡早起，与鸡同起，使意志安宁，以缓解秋令肃杀之气对人体的影响，收敛神气，使秋气平和。不要使志意外泄，使肺气清肃。违背这一点就会伤肺。如果过食瓜果，宜轻微通便一次，静养休息两天，用薤白粥加羊肾空腹服用以补益；如果没有羊肾，可用猪腰代替，胜过服用补剂。秋季应当足暖头凉，此时清肃之气与人体收敛之气相应。自夏至以来，阴气渐旺，应当减少寝席厚度，以培养长寿基础。或者夏季感受暑邪，到秋季发作为疟疾，阳气在上阴气在下，交争则发冷；阳气在下阴气在上，交争则发热。寒热交争，都是肺受病邪所致，如少阳、厥阴脉微弦，即是夏季食用生冷，积滞留于中焦，到秋季变为痢疾。如足阳明、足太阴脉微弦濡而紧，这是反时的脉象，病情恐怕危急。然而秋季脉象应当像毫毛一样轻浮，治疗方法详见后文与前文。《素问》说：“秋伤于湿，冬生咳嗽”，纯阳归于虚空。《秘法》说：“行住坐卧常闭口，呼吸调息定音声，甘甜津液玉液频频吞咽，无非润肺，使邪火下降，从而清肃肺金。”
(From *Yixue Rumen*)
The Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian has eleven acupoints: Zhongfu (Zhōngfǔ), Yunmen (Yúnmén), Tianfu (Tiānfǔ), Xiabai (Xiábái), Chize (Chǐzé), Kongzui (Kǒngzuì), Lieque (Lièquē), Jingqu (Jīngqū), Taiyuan (Tàiyuán), Yuji (Yújì), and Shaoshang (Shàoshāng) (totaling twenty-two points on both sides).
This meridian originates at Zhongfu and terminates at Shaoshang. Selecting Shaoshang, Yuji, Taiyuan, Jingqu, and Chize corresponds to the Jing-Well, Ying-Spring, Shu-Stream, Jing-River, and He-Sea Five-Shu points.
The pulse originates in the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner), descends to connect with the Large Intestine, returns along the upper opening of the Stomach, passes through the Diaphragm, and belongs to the Lung. From the Lung system (trachea, larynx, etc.), it emerges horizontally from under the axilla, runs along the medial aspect of the upper arm anterior to the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian and Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, descends into the elbow center, follows the medial forearm along the lower border of the radius, enters the Cun Kou (radial artery pulse position), ascends to the Thenar eminence. Following the margin of the thenar eminence, it exits at the tip of the thumb. Its branch diverges from the Lieque acupoint behind the wrist, goes straight to the medial side of the index finger's tip, and connects with the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. This meridian is rich in Qi and deficient in Blood; its Qi flows into this meridian during the Yin hour (3–5 AM).
The Lung is the organ of Xin Metal. The pulse is located at the Right Cun position. In excess conditions, the pulse is forceful, accompanied by upper heat, coarse breathing, and nasal congestion; treatment requires pungent-cooling methods to drain. In deficiency conditions, the pulse is weak, with shortness of breath, insufficient respiration, and low voice; treatment requires sour-warm methods to tonify. Tangerine peel and Licorice are divine formulas for descending phlegm and regulating Qi; Ginger is a sacred medicine for removing Qi-type coughs. Cough and asthma caused by emotional stagnation can be treated with Agarwood, Litsea, Ginseng, and Areca nut; chest oppression, urgent asthma, and pain radiating through the chest can be treated with Pinellia, Trichosanthes fruit, and Platycodon. For nasal obstruction, pills made of Schizonepeta seed, Cubeb, and Mint are used; for chronic rhinitis (Bi Yuan), powder containing Borneol, Xanthium, and Angelica dahurica is applied. Hundred flowers can remove red phlegm; Anemarrhena and Fritillaria tend to clear heat-type coughs. Coptis, Red Poria, and Donkey-hide gelatin suppress Heart Fire and clear the Lungs; Chebula, Apricot Kernel, and Akebia promote long-term cough recovery and restore vocal tone. Pain from flowing abscesses due to phlegm-fluid retention requires Pinellia dosage doubled compared to Mirabilite; urticaria itching and pain due to wind-heat require Sophora root dosage less than that of Sapindus. For asthma and cough, Loropetalum, Cicada slough, Apricot kernel (remove tips), and a small amount of Arsenic trioxide are used; for heat obstructing the throat, Hedyotis diffusa, Schizonepeta, Platycodon, and Saposhnikovia are used; Ginseng, Bovis Calculus, and Licorice eliminate alcohol jaundice; Calomel and Sulfur remove nasal polyps. Alum, Kansui, and realgar have heavy and toxic natures; added to Fermented Soybean, they treat asthma; Marsilia powder, though light in nature, combined with Sea Salt reduces tongue swelling. Sweet Descurainia seed effectively treats Lung Abscess; bitter Bear Gallbladder, being cold, when applied externally treats hemorrhoids. Qiongyu Paste regulates cough and consolidates the Primordial Qi; Liujin Clear Phlegm and Descend Fire Pill clears phlegm and drains fire. Ginseng requires a large dose to tonify; a small dose causes stagnation, while a large dose promotes circulation; Scutellaria requires a dry and thin texture to drain fire; fine texture cools the intestines, dry texture clears Metal. Cimicifuga and Angelica dahurica were called by Li Dongyuan as guiding herbs for reporting signals; Scallion white and Ephedra are commonly used by Zhang Zhongjing as guiding herbs. Aster and Schisandra can tonify and astringe; White Mulberry Bark and Saposhnikovia can solidify the exterior and open blockages. Cold, heat, warm, and cool properties must be carefully distinguished in famous formulas; severity and urgency must be clearly understood via palpation. If one grasps the secret essence within, even herbal medicines hold thousand-gold value; if missed, all herbs become empty.
*Daoyin Benjing* states: The Lung is the canopy of the five Zang organs, the source of voice, and relies on it for skin lubrication. When humans suffer internal injury from the Seven Emotions or external contraction of the Six Evils, leading to irregular breathing, the Lung Metal becomes impure. However, to clear Metal, one must first regulate the breath. When the breath is regulated, movement-related ailments do not arise, and the Heart remains tranquil, which is the True Breath. Since breath arises from the Heart, when the Heart is quiet, Qi is regulated, and every breath returns to the root, this is the Mother of Golden Elixir. *Xinyin Jing* says: "Mixing winds, a hundred days to achieve spiritual connection." *Neijing* says: "The three months of autumn are called 'Rongping' (Capacity and Peace). The heavenly Qi is rapid, and the earthly Qi is clear. One should sleep early and rise early, waking with chickens, keeping the will peaceful to mitigate the autumn penalty, gathering Shen Qi to harmonize autumn Qi. Do not let the will scatter outward, so that Lung Qi remains pure. Violating this injures the Lung. If excessive fruits and melons are consumed, mild purgation should be induced once, followed by two days of rest. Eat Allium macrostemon porridge with sheep kidney on an empty stomach to tonify; if sheep kidney is unavailable, pig kidney may substitute, which is superior to taking tonic preparations. In autumn, feet should be kept warm and head cool, as the clear and肃 (solemn) Qi corresponds to the body's converging Qi. Since Summer Solstice, Yin Qi gradually strengthens; one should use thinner bedding to cultivate the foundation of longevity. If summer heat injures the body in summer, manifesting as malaria in autumn, Yang rises and Yin sinks, clashing causing chills; Yang sinks and Yin rises, clashing causing fever. Clashing of chills and heat indicates Lung pathology. If the pulses of Shaoyang and Jueyin are slightly wiry, it indicates consumption of cold/raw food in summer, accumulation in the middle, transforming into dysentery in autumn. If Foot-Yangming and Foot-Taiyin pulses are slightly wiry, soggy, and tight, these are contrary-time pulses, indicating critical illness. Autumn pulses should be light like hair bristles; treatment methods are detailed later and previously. *Suwen* says: "Autumn injury by dampness leads to winter cough," pure Yang returns to emptiness. *Mifa* says: "While walking, standing, sitting, or lying, keep the mouth closed; regulate breathing and fix the voice; frequently swallow sweet saliva and jade fluid, all to moisten the Lung, cause evil fire to descend, and thus clear Lung Metal."
