肺的形状呈四角下垂状，附着于脊柱的第三椎骨处，肺中有二十四孔，行列分布，用来运行各脏腑的气，肺是五脏六腑中的长官，也是心的覆盖物。肺叶洁白晶莹，被称为“华盖”，以覆盖保护其他脏腑，其内部空虚如同蜂巢，下方没有透通的窍道，吸气时充满，呼气时虚空，一呼一吸之间，气息自然消长，主管清浊之气的运化，是人体如风箱般的器官。在引经报使（引导药物到达特定经络或部位）方面，使用升麻、白芷、桔梗、葱白。寅时气血灌注于肺。
手太阴肺经从中焦产生，〔起始于胃的中脘穴部位。手部的三条阴经，从内脏走向手部〕。向下联络大肠，再回绕至贲门，〔在本经中称为脉，在其他经脉中称为络〕。向上穿过膈肌，属于肺，连接肺系，〔即喉咙〕。横向出于腋下向内行，〔胁部上方称为腋，内侧指臂的内侧。凡是各种经脉，阳经行于体表外侧，阴经行于体内〕。经过肘部、前臂、寸口，上行至鱼际，〔寸口，即桡动脉搏动处。鱼际，是手腕处肌肉隆起的部分〕，止于大拇指内侧指甲根部。支脉从腕后分出，〔支脉，如同树木分枝〕，行至食指内侧，交接于阳明经。〔十二经脉运行营气，所以说营气行于脉中。首先论述肺经，是因为肺朝会百脉。按照顺序依次相传，各经运行完毕，终而复始，又传回肺经，这就完成了一个循环〕。
大肠，就是回肠，位于肚脐处，向左回旋十六个弯曲，广肠依附于脊柱，承接回肠，是排出糟粕秽物的通道。称为回肠，是因为它回旋重叠。广肠就是回肠中较大的部分，直肠则是广肠的最末端。下端连接肛门，这称为谷道，后阴又名魄门，总括起来都属于大肠。大肠的上口，就是小肠的下口。在引经报使方面，使用升麻、白芷、石膏。卯时气血灌注于大肠。
手阳明大肠经及大肠，起始于食指内侧的商阳穴，〔穴位名，位于食指内侧。手部的三条阳经，从手部走向头部〕。沿着手指上侧边缘，出于合谷穴，〔上侧，即上边。合谷，穴位名，俗称虎口〕，沿两骨歧缝间的两条筋之间，循行于手臂外侧，〔沿手臂上侧〕。进入肘部外缘，循行于上臂外侧前缘，〔上臂外侧前缘〕，肩井穴前缘，天柱骨旁，〔背部上方，颈部根部，称为天柱骨〕。从肩部下方进入缺盆内，联络肺，穿过膈肌，属于大肠。支脉从缺盆向上进入颈部，斜贯面颊前方，下入下齿龈，环绕出人中穴，左右交叉，上行挟持鼻孔，注入迎香穴。〔穴位名，意指左右经脉在此互相交错，上行挟持鼻孔〕。
The lung is shaped with four corners hanging downwards, attached to the third thoracic vertebra of the spine. It contains twenty-four hollow spaces arranged in rows and columns to circulate the Qi of all Zang and Fu organs. The Lung is the chief of the Zang organs and acts as a canopy (Hua Gai) for the Heart. The lung lobes are white and translucent, hence called the "Canopy" because they cover and protect the other organs. Its interior is vacuous like a honeycomb, with no open orifices at the bottom; it fills upon inhalation and becomes empty upon exhalation. With each breath, the movement of Qi is natural, governing the transformation and transportation of clear and turbid substances, serving as the bellows of the human body. For guiding herbs to specific meridians (Yin Jing Bao Shi), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus) are used. During the Yin hour (03:00-05:00), Qi and Blood flow into the Lung.
The Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian originates from the Middle Jiao, [starting at the Zhongwan point of the Stomach]. The three Yin meridians of the hand travel from the Zang organs to the hands. [It] descends to connect with the Large Intestine and returns to the贲门 (Bimen, cardia). [In this meridian, it is called Mai (vessel); in other meridians, it is called Luo (collateral)]. Ascending through the diaphragm, it belongs to the Lung and connects with the Lung system, [i.e., the trachea and larynx]. It emerges horizontally from the axilla and travels inward, [the area above the ribs is called the axilla; inward refers to the medial side of the arm. Generally, Yang meridians run on the exterior, while Yin meridians run on the interior]. It passes through the elbow, forearm, Cun Kou (inch position/radial artery), and ascends to Yu Ji (Lung 10), [Cun Kou refers to the arterial pulse point. Yu Ji refers to the fleshy eminence at the base of the thumb]. It terminates at the inner edge of the nail root of the great toe. A branch separates from behind the wrist, [branches are like twigs on a tree], travels to the inner edge of the index finger, and connects with the Yangming Meridian. [The twelve meridians circulate Ying (Nutritive) Qi, thus it is said that Ying Qi flows within the vessels. The Lung is mentioned first because the Lung governs all vessels. Following the sequence, after each meridian has completed its course, the cycle restarts and returns to the Lung, completing one full circulation].
The Large Intestine, also known as the Hui Chang (Coiled Intestine), is located at the umbilicus, looping leftwards sixteen times. The Guang Chang (Broad Intestine) attaches to the spine, receiving the Hui Chang, serving as the pathway for expelling waste and filth. It is called Hui Chang because of its coiled and folded structure. The Guang Chang is the larger portion of the Hui Chang, and the Zhi Chang (Rectum) is the terminal segment of the Guang Chang. It connects inferiorly to the anus, which is called Gu Dao (Valve Pathway) or Hou Yin (Posterior Orifice), also known as Po Men (Gate of the Corporeal Soul); collectively, these belong to the Large Intestine. The upper opening of the Large Intestine is the lower opening of the Small Intestine. For guiding herbs, Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) are used. During the Mao hour (05:00-07:00), Qi and Blood flow into the Large Intestine.
The Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Large Intestine begin at Shang Yang (LI 1), [an acupoint located on the radial side of the index finger]. The three Yang meridians of the hand travel from the hands to the head. [It] follows the radial border of the finger, emerges at He Gu (LI 4), [He Gu means Tiger's Mouth, a common name for LI 4], between the two tendons of the bifurcation of the metacarpal bones, follows the lateral aspect of the forearm, [along the upper lateral border of the arm], enters the lateral aspect of the elbow, follows the anterior lateral border of the upper arm, [anterior lateral border of the humerus], passes anterior to Jian Jing (GB 21), beside Tian Zhu (BL 10), [Tian Zhu refers to the cervical vertebrae at the root of the neck]. From the shoulder, it enters below the collarbone (Que Pen), connects with the Lung, crosses the diaphragm, and belongs to the Large Intestine. A branch rises from Que Pen, enters the neck, obliquely crosses the cheek, descends into the lower gums, circles out to Ren Zhong (GV 26), crosses left and right, ascends to flank the nostrils, and injects into Ying Xiang (LI 20). [Ying Xiang is an acupoint, named for the crossing of meridians above the nostrils].
