精气流溢，并与命门输泻而出，故号此府为三焦。

\r手少阳三焦经\pG-G66.bmp\r
《黄帝内经》说：三焦，是决渎之官（疏通水道的官员），水道由此而出。又说：上焦像雾露一样弥漫，中焦像沤泡一样腐熟水谷，下焦像沟渠一样排泄废物。
人心清静寂寥，欲望念头不起，那么精气便散布在三焦，滋润荣华全身百脉。等到念头一起，欲火炽盛，收敛紧缩三焦，精气流溢，并随着命门输泻而出，所以称这个腑为三焦。
手少阳经共有二十三个穴位：关冲、液门、中渚在旁边，阳池、外关、支沟在正位，会宗、三阳络、四渎较长，天井、清冷渊、消泺，臑会、肩髎、天髎，天牖、翳风、瘛脉，颅息、角孙、丝竹空，和髎、耳门听声音有常度（左右共四十六穴）。
这条经脉起于关冲穴，终于耳门穴。取关冲、液门、中渚、阳池、支沟、天井等井、荥、俞、原、经、脉穴，起始于手小指与次指之间，向上出于次指之间，沿手腕背面，出前臂外侧两骨之间，向上穿过肘部，沿手臂外侧，上肩，交出足少阳胆经之后，进入缺盆，分布于膻中，散络于心包，向下穿过横膈，遍属于三焦；其分支，从膻中向上出于缺盆，上项部，挟耳后直上，出耳上角，然后弯曲下行至面颊至颧骨处；另一分支，从耳后入耳中，行至目外眦。此经多气少血，亥时气血注入此经。

The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: The Sanjiao (Triple Burner), as the official in charge of irrigation, is where water passages emerge. It further states: The Upper Jiao is like mist, the Middle Jiao like fermentation, and the Lower Jiao like a ditch.
When the human mind is clear and silent, and desires do not arise, essence and qi scatter throughout the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), nourishing and flourishing all the vessels. However, once thoughts arise and desire-fire blazes up, it contracts and gathers the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), causing essence and qi to overflow and be discharged along with the Mingmen (Gate of Life). Thus, this fu organ is called the Sanjiao (Triple Burner).
There are twenty-three acupoints on the Hand-Shaoyang channel: Guanchong (LI11, note: text says SJ1 but context implies SJ channel points, actually Guanchong is SJ1), Yemen (SJ2), Zhongzhu (SJ3) beside them; Yangchi (SJ4), Waiguan (SJ5), Zhigou (SJ6) in their proper positions; Huizong (SJ7), Sanyangluo (SJ8), Sidu (SJ9) are longer; Tianjing (SJ10), Qinglengyuan (SJ11), Xiaoluo (SJ12); Naohui (SJ13), Jianliao (SJ14), Tianliao (SJ15); Tianyou (SJ16), Yifeng (SJ17), Chimai (SJ18); Luxi (SJ19), Jiaosun (SJ20), Sizhukong (SJ23); Heliao (SJ21), Ermen (SJ22) listen with regularity (forty-six points on both sides).
This meridian begins at Guanchong (SJ1) and ends at Ermen (SJ22). Taking Guanchong (SJ1), Yemen (SJ2), Zhongzhu (SJ3), Yangchi (SJ4), Zhigou (SJ6), Tianjing (SJ10) and other Jing-River-Sea-Source-Channel points, it starts between the little finger and the next finger, ascends out between the second finger, follows the dorsal aspect of the wrist, emerges between the two bones of the forearm, ascends through the elbow, follows the lateral aspect of the arm, reaches the shoulder, crosses behind the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, enters the supraclavicular fossa, distributes in the Danzhong (Chest Center), scatters and connects with the Pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and extensively belongs to the Sanjiao (Triple Burner); its branch rises from Danzhong (Chest Center), emerges from the supraclavicular fossa, ascends the neck, goes straight up behind the ear, emerges above the upper angle of the ear, then bends down to the cheek at the zygomatic arch; another branch enters the ear from behind the ear, reaches the outer canthus. This meridian has abundant qi and little blood; during the Hai hour, qi and blood flow into it.
It receives connection from the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, is the middle clear fu organ, guides yin and yang, opens blockages. Medication should move like pearls on a plate, not like carving a mark on a boat to find the sword. I briefly record this in the previous chapter, awaiting further debate by comrades.

Moxibustion causes facial swelling and closed eyes. First treat Yifeng (SJ17), then Tiānróng (SI17) and Tiānpíng (PC1? likely typo for Tianying or similar, text says Tianchi which is PC1 but location mismatch, sticking to text), and it will heal; if Yifeng (SJ17) is not needled, it is difficult to treat. *Mingtang* advises needle 5 fen, reduce upon arrival of qi, retain for three breaths after reducing, reduce for three inhalations, not suitable for tonification. *Su Zhu* and *Xia Jing* advise moxa three mounds. *Zisheng* states: Suitable for moxa one or three mounds.
