大敦拇指看毛聚,行间指间动脉处,节后寸半或二寸,太冲有脉诚堪据,中封一寸内踝
前,蠡沟踝上五寸专,踝上七寸名中都,膝关鼻下二寸余,曲泉膝内辅骨下,大筋上下索筋罅,
阴包四寸膝以上,内廉筋间索其当,五里三寸气下冲,有脉有动阴股中,羊失之下曰阴廉,
气冲相去二寸通。
小指次指胆所起,窍阴去爪韭菜是,歧骨节前名侠溪,地五会兮一寸是,侠溪寸半至临
泣,丘墟踝下如前此,悬钟踝上三寸收,阳辅四寸踝上头,五寸光明穴更有,七寸名外丘阳交,
针取对一寸膝外,二寸阳陵又阳关,腋上三寸是中渎,外膝五寸翳风中,垂手点到指尽处,
环跳侧取细参是。
二十一穴太阴脾,隐白大都太白随,公孙商丘三阴交,漏谷地机阴陵拗,血海箕门爵
门冲开,府舍腹结大横排,胸乡周荣大包随。
足穴少阴二十七,涌泉然骨太溪益,大钟照海通水泉,复溜交信筑宾连,阴谷横骨大赫
亦,气穴四满中注立,肓俞商曲石关蹲,阴都通谷幽门僻,步廊神封接灵墟,神藏 中俞府推。
阳明并穴起厉兑,大次指端应属胃,上指外间是内庭,节后三寸陷谷位,此是三寸或二
寸,冲阳动脉还相应,解溪更后寸半中,踝上八寸丰隆正,三里膝下三寸强,上巨虚下三寸量,
下巨虚兮三分取,中折寸半条口当,膝膑之下有犊鼻,膝上二寸梁丘的,阴市三伏伏兔穴,
髀关兔后思分中,膝眼四穴又不同,膝头骨下两旁取,陷中仔细寻其宗。
大敦穴位于足大趾外侧,观察趾甲边缘毛发聚集之处;行间穴在两足大趾与次趾之间的动脉搏动处;太冲穴在行间穴后一寸半或二寸处,此处有脉搏跳动,确实值得依据;中封穴在内踝前一寸处;蠡沟穴专指内踝上五寸处;内踝上七寸名为中都穴;膝关穴在鼻下(注:此处“鼻”指膝眼/犊鼻)二寸余处;曲泉穴在膝内侧辅骨下方,在大筋上下、索筋的缝隙中;阴包穴在膝上四寸,大腿内侧廉骨间的筋隙中;五里穴在下气冲穴三寸处,大腿内侧阴股中有脉搏跳动;阴廉穴在羊失之下(注:古称耻骨联合下缘为羊矢),距离气冲穴二寸相通。
小趾和次趾之间是胆经起始之处,窍阴穴在爪甲旁如韭菜叶宽处;歧骨节前名为侠溪穴;地五会穴在一寸处;从侠溪穴向后一寸半至临泣穴;丘墟穴在踝下如同前述位置;悬钟穴在踝上三寸处收束;阳辅穴在踝上四寸头处;光明穴在五寸处更有此穴;七寸处名为外丘和阳交;针刺取对侧一寸膝外侧穴位;二寸处为阳陵泉又兼阳关穴;腋上三寸是中渎穴;外膝五寸处为翳风穴(注:此处原文可能有误,通常翳风在耳后,膝部附近多为其他穴,但依原文翻译);垂手点到手指尽头处,环跳穴需侧身仔细参详确定。
足太阴脾经共有二十一穴,隐白、大都、太白随其后;公孙、商丘、三阴交相连;漏谷、地机、阴陵泉呈拗势;血海、箕门、爵门(即冲门)、开穴(注:原文“冲开”疑为冲门之误或特定表述,此处保留原意)、府舍、腹结、大横依次排列;胸乡、周荣、大包随之。
足少阴肾经足部穴位共二十七穴,涌泉、然骨、太溪有益;大钟、照海连通水泉;复溜、交信、筑宾相连;阴谷、横骨、大赫亦然;气穴、四满、中注、肓俞、商曲、石关蹲立;阴都、通谷、幽门偏僻;步廊、神封连接灵墟;神藏、中俞、俞府推演。
足阳明胃经并穴起于厉兑,在第二趾端应属胃经;上行至指外间是内庭穴;节后三寸为陷谷位;此处是三寸或二寸,冲阳动脉相应;解溪穴更后一寸半中点;踝上八寸为丰隆正穴;三里穴在膝下三寸强壮有力;上巨虚在下三寸量取;下巨虚兮三分取穴;中折寸半处条口当值;膝膑之下有犊鼻穴;膝上二寸梁丘确切;阴市三伏伏兔穴;髀关在兔后思分之中;膝眼四穴又不同,在膝头骨下两旁取穴,陷入中仔细寻找其宗。
