shào yīn gēn qǐ yú yǒng quán, míng yuē yīn zhōng zhī shào yīn.
Lesser yin takes its root at Yongquan; it is named the lesser yin within yin.
涌泉為足少陰腎經井穴，在足心；底本作「涌」，不作「湫」「湧」，詳校勘表。
腎者，主蟄，封藏之本，精之處也，其華在髮，其充在骨，爲陰中之少陰，通於冬氣。
肾者，主蛰，封藏之本，精之处也，其华在发，其充在骨，为阴中之少阴，通于冬气。
shèn zhě, zhǔ zhé, fēng cáng zhī běn, jīng zhī chù yě, qí huá zài fà, qí chōng zài gǔ, wéi yīn zhōng zhī shào yīn, tōng yú dōng qì.
The kidney presides over hibernating; it is the root of sealing and storing and the abode of essence. Its bloom is in the hair, its filling is in the bone; it is the lesser yin within yin, and it communicates with the qi of winter.
本篇少陰凡二見：藏象「腎為陰中之少陰，通於冬氣」，與寸口「二盛病在少陰」。「少陰」讀 shào yīn（太／少對舉之經名讀 shào）。
是以頭痛巔疾，下虚上實，過在足少陰、巨陽，甚則入腎。
是以头痛巅疾，下虚上实，过在足少阴、巨阳，甚则入肾。
shì yǐ tóu tòng diān jí, xià xū shàng shí, guò zài zú shào yīn, jù yáng, shèn zé rù shèn.
Thus head pain and disease of the crown, empty below and full above, is faulted in the foot shaoyin and the foot great yang; if severe it enters the kidney.
本篇少陰凡二見：足少陰（腎脉，見頭痛巔疾一條）與手少陰（心脉，見心煩頭痛一條）。「少陰」讀 shào yīn；本篇稱太陽為「巨陽」，與第六篇之名異而實同。
少陰終者，面黑，齒長而垢，腹脹閉，上下不通而終矣。
少阴终者，面黑，齿长而垢，腹胀闭，上下不通而终矣。
shào yīn zhōng zhě, miàn hēi, chǐ cháng ér gòu, fù zhàng bì, shàng xià bù tōng ér zhōng yǐ.
When the lesser yin ends, the face is black, the teeth appear long and coated, the abdomen is distended and stopped up, and with the upper and lower no longer communicating it ends.
「少陰終者，面黑，齒長而垢，腹脹閉，上下不通而終矣」：少陰音 shào yīn。與第六篇「少陰」同條。少陰屬腎，其色黑，故終則面黑（真藏之色外現）。王冰：「齒長，謂齒齦肉退卻而齒長也」；長音 cháng，垢音 gòu，謂齒根積垢。與下文太陰之終同有腹脹閉、上下不通，而少陰以色黑、齒長而垢為別。
有脉俱沉細數者，少陰厥也。沈細數散者，寒熱也。浮而散者，爲眴仆。
有脉俱沉细数者，少阴厥也。沉细数散者，寒热也。浮而散者，为眴仆。
yǒu mài jù chén xì shuò zhě, shào yīn jué yě. chén xì shuò sàn zhě, hán rè yě. fú ér sàn zhě, wéi xuàn pū.
When the pulse is at once sunken, fine and rapid, this is counterflow of the lesser yin. When it is sunken, fine, rapid and scattered, this is cold and heat. When it is floating and scattered, this becomes dizziness and falling.
「有脉俱沉細數者，少陰厥也」：少陰音 shào yīn；數音 shuò。與第六篇「少陰」、第十六篇「少陰終者」同條而義別：第六篇論少陰之為開闔樞，第十六篇舉少陰經氣終絕之候（面黑、齒長而垢、腹脹閉、上下不通），本篇則以脈診少陰之厥——脈俱沉細而數者為少陰之氣逆。下文「諸細而沈者，皆在陰，則為骨痛。其有靜者在足」，亦以沉細屬陰、屬足經。
婦人手少陰脉動甚者，妊子也。
妇人手少阴脉动甚者，妊子也。
fù rén shǒu shào yīn mài dòng shèn zhě, rèn zǐ yě.
In a woman, a hand lesser yin pulse that moves markedly indicates that she is carrying a child.
「婦人手少陰脉動甚者，妊子也」：少陰音 shào yīn。本篇以手少陰脈動甚為有子之徵。與第六篇「少陰」、第十六篇「少陰終者」、第十七篇「少陰厥」同條而義別：第六篇論少陰之為開闔樞，第十六篇舉少陰經氣終絕之候（面黑、齒長而垢、腹脹閉），第十七篇以脈之沉細數診少陰之厥，本篇則診手少陰之動以候妊子——皆本於少陰屬心腎、主血脈之義。
下部天，足厥陰也；下部地，足少陰也；下部人，足太陰也。
下部天，足厥阴也；下部地，足少阴也；下部人，足太阴也。
Xià bù tiān, zú jué yīn yě; xià bù dì, zú shào yīn yě; xià bù rén, zú tài yīn yě.
In the lower sector, heaven is the foot jueyin; earth is the foot shaoyin; the human is the foot taiyin.
「下部地，足少陰也」：本篇少陰為下部之地候，以候腎。與第六篇「少陰」（三陰之樞）、第十六篇「少陰終者，面黑，齒長而垢，腹脹閉」同條而義別：第六篇論少陰之為樞，第十六篇舉少陰經終之候，本篇則以足少陰為九候之一而候腎；上文「中部人，手少陰也」以候心，手足同名而所候不同。
心主夏，手少陰太陽主治，其日丙丁，心苦緩，急食酸以收之。
心主夏，手少阴太阳主治，其日丙丁，心苦缓，急食酸以收之。
Xīn zhǔ xià, shǒu shào yīn tài yáng zhǔ zhì, qí rì bǐng dīng, xīn kǔ huǎn, jí shí suān yǐ shōu zhī.
The heart governs summer. The hand lesser yin and greater yang govern its treatment; its days are bing and ding. The heart suffers from laxity, so hasten to give sour to gather it.
「心主夏，手少陰太陽主治，其日丙丁」：本篇少陰之義，在手經與太陽為表裡而共主夏令。與第六篇少陰為樞、第十六篇少陰終者之面黑齒長、第二十篇「中部人，手少陰也」、第二十一篇「二陰搏至，腎沈不浮也」者同條而義別：本篇取之以配丙丁之日與鹹補甘瀉之用。

The constants of a person: greater yang is regularly plentiful in blood and scant in qi; lesser yang is scant in blood and plentiful in qi; yang brightness is plentiful in both qi and blood; lesser yin is scant in blood and plentiful in qi; ceasing yin is plentiful in blood and scant in qi; greater yin is plentiful in qi and scant in blood. These are the constants of heaven.
「少陰常少血多氣」：本篇少陰之義，在「少血多氣」，故篇末「剌少陰出氣，惡血」。與第六篇已立之「少陰」者同條而義別：彼論少陰之為樞、其與太陽之表裏，本篇則止言其血氣之數；又本篇手經一節以「少陽與心主」代厥陰，而足少陰、手少陰同名並見，其數不分。
歧伯曰：巨陽主氣，故先受邪，少陰與其爲表裏也，得熱則上從之，從之則厥也。
歧伯曰：巨阳主气，故先受邪，少阴与其为表里也，得热则上从之，从之则厥也。

Qi Bo says: the great yang governs the qi of the exterior, and so takes the evil first; the shaoyin stands to it as inner to outer, and when it takes heat it follows upward — and following upward is inversion.
「少陰」之目於本站已立（id 304），所收九條多就經脈之位與其所主言之（第六篇根起涌泉、第十篇過在足少陰、第十七篇少陰厥、第二十篇下部地足少陰、第二十四篇少陰常少血多氣）。**本篇之用有別：少陰不獨為一經之名，而為巨陽之裏**——「巨陽主氣，故先受邪，少陰與其爲表裏也，得熱則上從之，從之則厥也」——「巨」讀 jù，本篇 2 見；「陽」讀 yáng，本篇 4 見；「主」讀 zhǔ；「氣」讀 qì；「故」讀 gù；「先」讀 xiān；「受」讀 shòu；「邪」讀 xié；**「少」讀 shào，本篇 4 見**——此為經名，讀 shào；**本篇「少」字有二讀**：少陰、少腹讀 shào，「少氣」讀 shǎo，同形而異讀；「陰」讀 yīn，本篇 6 見；「與」讀 yǔ；「其」讀 qí；**「爲」讀 wéi，本篇 8 見**——底本作「爲」，不作「為」（「為」）；「表」讀 biǎo；**「裏」讀 lǐ，本篇 2 見**——底本从衣，不作「里」（「里」）；「也」讀 yě；「得」讀 dé；「熱」讀 rè；「則」讀 zé，本篇 11 見；「上」讀 shàng，本篇 6 見；「從」讀 cóng；「之」讀 zhī；「厥」讀 jué。**此節是「風厥」病名之所由立**：巨陽主氣而為諸陽之屬，故邪先中之；少陰為巨陽之裏，得熱則從之而上，熱循裏上逆，是之謂厥——**一在表而受邪，一在裏而上從，二者相合而成厥**。與第十篇「過在足少陰、巨陽，甚則入腎」對照：**彼以少陰、巨陽並舉而指其病位，此以少陰與巨陽為表裏而明其傳變**，一名之同，用法之別如此。

Malaria of the foot lesser yin brings severe vomiting and much cold and heat, with more heat than cold; the person wants to shut the door and the window and stay inside. This illness is hard to bring to an end.
「少陰」之目於本站已立（id 304），所收十條，本站之釋以「為樞」「其根在涌泉」為少陰之要義。**本篇「少陰」5見**（第五、八、十一、十六、三十段），**而言其瘧則惟此第五段一處**，**且是十二瘧中唯一不言刺法之一條**。「足」讀 zú；「少」讀 shào；「陰」讀 yīn；「之」讀 zhī；「瘧」讀 nüè；「令」讀 lìng；「人」讀 rén；「嘔」讀 ǒu；「吐」讀 tǔ，本篇惟此一見；「甚」讀 shèn；「多」讀 duō；「寒」讀 hán；「熱」讀 rè；「少」讀 shǎo，**「熱多寒少」之少讀 shǎo**，**本篇「少」字10見，讀 shào 者為經名（少陽、少陰）與少腹，讀 shǎo 者惟此一處**；「欲」讀 yù；「閉」讀 bì，本篇惟此一見；「户」讀 hù，本篇惟此一見，**不作「戶」（「戶」）**；「牖」讀 yǒu，本篇惟此一見，讀 yǒu，窗也；「而」讀 ér；「處」讀 chǔ，本篇 1 見，讀 chǔ；「其」讀 qí；「病」讀 bìng；「難」讀 nán；「已」讀 yǐ。**「其病難已」四字，本篇二見**：此第五段與第一段「熱止汗出難已」，**一為足少陰之瘧，一為足太陽之瘧**——**少陰與太陽皆難已，一在裏之極、一在表之極**，**二經為表裏而其病皆難已，是本篇最可注意之對**。**「欲閉户牖而處」六字，狀其欲幽閉而惡明惡人**：户（「户」）、牖（「牖」）皆言閉塞，**與第二段少陽瘧「惡見人」同其情而異其狀**——**彼則惡人，此則並户牖而欲閉之，為更深一層**。**本段無「剌」字，是十二瘧中唯一不以刺法結之者**，**正與「其病難已」相應**——病之難已者，故不輕言刺。**又第十六段「灸脛少陰」之「灸」讀 jiǔ讀 jiǔ，**非「炙」（「炙」讀 zhì）**，**本篇惟此一見用灸，其餘皆用剌**。

Foot lesser yin: it gives pain in the lower back that draws along the inner edge of the spine. Needle lesser yin twice above the inner ankle. In spring, do not bring blood to view; if too much blood is let, the patient cannot be restored.
**「足少陰，令人腰痛，痛引脊内廉」**——**太陽引脊之外（項脊凥背），少陰引脊之内（脊内廉），二條對舉**。**本篇「少陰」7見**；「廉」讀 lián**本篇5見**：**脊内廉二、外廉三（膝外廉、郄外廉、絡外廉），皆以廉定其位**；「内」讀 nèi**本篇6見，底本不作「內」**；「踝」讀 huái**本篇5見**。「復」讀 fù**「出血太多，不可復也」讀 fù**——**本篇惟此一條言出血之害，與他條之徑出血者異**。

In inversion of lesser yin the mouth is dry and the urine red, the belly is full and the heart aches.

帝曰：何以言之？歧伯曰：少陰脉貫腎絡肺，今得肺脉。腎爲之病，故腎爲腰痛之病也。
帝曰：何以言之？歧伯曰：少阴脉贯肾络肺，今得肺脉。肾为之病，故肾为腰痛之病也。

The Emperor asks: how do you say that? Qi Bo says: the lesser yin conduit penetrates the kidney and networks the lung, and now one finds a lung conduit. The kidney is made ill by it, and so the kidney is the disease of pain in the low back.

Dì yuē: hé yǐ yán zhī? Qí bó yuē: bāo luò zhě, xì yú shèn, shào yīn zhī mài, guàn shèn xì shé běn, gù bù néng yán.
Why do you say so? Qi Bo answers: the network of the womb is tied to the kidney; the lesser yin vessel penetrates the kidney and ties to the root of the tongue, and therefore she cannot speak.
「「少」讀 shào「陰」讀 yīn之脉，貫腎繫舌本」——**本篇「少陰」1見**；**「少」本篇二見而二讀：此為經名讀 shào，下文「不能食，食少」之少讀 shǎo，同篇二讀**；「貫」讀 guàn、「繫」讀 xì，**貫讀 guàn、繫讀 xì，二字連用而義各別：貫者穿過，繫者連屬**；**少陰之脉既貫腎而又繫舌本，故胞絡絶而言不出**。

The yin of the lesser yin is named shū rú. Above and below follow the same rule: the floating network vessels seen within that region are all the network of the lesser yin. When the network vessels are full the evil goes in and lodges in the conduit. Its entering the conduit is by pouring in from the yang region; what goes out from it pours from within the yin into the bone.

The lesser yin ascends the inner posterior border of the thigh, pierces the spine and belongs to the kidney. With the greater yang it rises at the inner corner of the eye, ascends the forehead and crosses at the crown, enters to link the brain, comes back out, branches down the nape, follows the inside of the shoulder blade, runs beside the spine to the middle of the lower back, enters and follows the flesh along the spine, and networks the kidney.

When lesser yin is in surplus the disease is skin obstruction with hidden rash; when it is insufficient, lung obstruction. A slippery pulse brings lung wind mounting; a rough pulse brings accumulation and blood in the urine.

Guǐ yú qū yuē: tǔ zhǔ jiǎ jǐ, jīn zhǔ yǐ gēng, shuǐ zhǔ bǐng xīn, mù zhǔ dīng rén, huǒ zhǔ wù guǐ. Zǐ wǔ zhī shàng, shào yīn zhǔ zhī; chǒu wèi zhī shàng, tài yīn zhǔ zhī; yín shēn zhī shàng, shào yáng zhǔ zhī; mǎo yǒu zhī shàng, yáng míng zhǔ zhī; chén xū zhī shàng, tài yáng zhǔ zhī; sì hài zhī shàng, jué yīn zhǔ zhī. Bù hé yīn yáng, qí gù hé yě?
Gui Yu Qu said: earth governs jia and ji, metal governs yi and geng, water governs bing and xin, wood governs ding and ren, fire governs wu and gui. Above zi and wu, lesser yin presides; above chou and wei, greater yin presides; above yin and shen, lesser yang presides; above mao and you, yang brightness presides; above chen and xu, greater yang presides; above si and hai, ceasing yin presides. These do not accord with yin and yang — why is that?
「子午之上，少陰主之」——**「少陰」本篇8見**；**此是六氣之第一位，子午之歲上見少陰**；**下文「少陰在上，則陽明在下」是其對**；**本篇少陰指天之氣，與第六篇指足少陰之經者同名而異指**
少陽之上，火氣治之，中見厥陰。陽明之上，燥氣治之，中見太陰。太陽之上，寒氣治之，中見少陰。厥陰之上，風氣治之，中見少陽。少陰之上，熱氣治之，中見太陽。太陰之上，濕氣治之，中見陽明。所謂本也。本之下，中之見也；見之下，氣之標也。本標不同，氣應異象。
少阳之上，火气治之，中见厥阴。阳明之上，燥气治之，中见太阴。太阳之上，寒气治之，中见少阴。厥阴之上，风气治之，中见少阳。少阴之上，热气治之，中见太阳。太阴之上，湿气治之，中见阳明。所谓本也。本之下，中之见也；见之下，气之标也。本标不同，气应异象。
Shào yáng zhī shàng, huǒ qì zhì zhī, zhōng jiàn jué yīn. Yáng míng zhī shàng, zào qì zhì zhī, zhōng jiàn tài yīn. Tài yáng zhī shàng, hán qì zhì zhī, zhōng jiàn shào yīn.

Above lesser yang, fire qi governs, and in the middle one sees ceasing yin. Above yang brightness, dryness qi governs, and in the middle one sees greater yin. Above greater yang, cold qi governs, and in the middle one sees lesser yin. Above ceasing yin, wind qi governs, and in the middle one sees lesser yang. Above lesser yin, heat qi governs, and in the middle one sees greater yang. Above greater yin, damp qi governs, and in the middle one sees yang brightness. This is what is called the root. Below the root is what is seen in the middle; below what is seen is the tip of the qi. Root and tip are not the same, and the images the qi answers with are different.
「少陰之上，熱氣治之，中見太陽」——**「少陰」本篇5見：第三段二見、本段二見、第十一段「火運之歲，上見少陽、少陰」一見**；**「熱氣」本篇1見，止在本句**；**「少」讀 shào**；**本句與第十一段「火運之歲，上見少陽、少陰」相應：火運之歲上見者二氣**

In a year of fire in surplus, blazing summer heat spreads and moves and the metal of the lung receives evil. The people are ill with malaria, scantness of qi, coughing and panting, blood escaping upward, blood discharged downward, pouring below, dryness of the throat and deafness, heat in the centre and heat in the shoulder and back; it answers above to Mars. If it is severe there is pain in the chest, propping fullness and pain in the flanks, pain between the breast, the back and the shoulder blades, pain on the inner side of both arms, heat of the body and pain in the bones, and the soaking spread of the illness. The qi of gathering does not move and the qi of growth shines alone; rain, water, frost and cold arrive; it answers above to Mercury. If lesser yin or lesser yang presides above, fire blazes and scorches, the icy springs dry up and things are burnt and withered; the illness turns to delirious speech and raving, coughing and panting with a noisy breath, and, below, severe bleeding and unending discharge. Where Taiyuan is cut off there is death and no cure; it answers above to Mars.
「上臨少陰少陽，火燔爇」——**「少陰」本篇1見，止此一見，與「少陽」同在一句**；**本篇六名皆「上臨」之辭，指司天之氣，非第六篇三陰三陽之經**；**「少」讀 shào；「少陰」讀 shào yīn**
逆春氣，則少陽不生，肝氣内變；逆夏氣，則太陽不長，心氣内洞；逆秋氣，則太陰不收，肺氣焦滿；逆冬氣，則少陰不藏，腎氣獨沉。
逆春气，则少阳不生，肝气内变；逆夏气，则太阳不长，心气内洞；逆秋气，则太阴不收，肺气焦满；逆冬气，则少阴不藏，肾气独沉。

Going against the qi of spring, Shaoyang · lesser yang does not give life, and the liver qi changes inwardly. Going against the qi of summer, Taiyang · greater yang does not grow, and the heart qi is hollow within. Going against the qi of autumn, Taiyin · greater yin does not gather in, and the lung qi is scorched and full. Going against the qi of winter, Shaoyin · lesser yin does not store, and the kidney qi sinks alone.
「逆冬氣，則少陰不藏」——少陰不藏，故腎氣獨沉；**「少陰」本篇1見**
少陰司天，熱氣下臨，肺氣上從，白起金用，草木眚，喘嘔，寒熱，嚏鼽衄鼻窒，大暑流行，甚則瘡瘍燔灼，金爍石流，地乃燥清，淒滄數至，脅痛，善太息，肅殺行，草木變。

When lesser yin governs the heaven the qi of heat descends upon it and the qi of the lung follows upward; white arises and metal comes into use; grass and trees suffer calamity; there is panting and vomiting, cold and heat, sneezing, snivelling, nosebleed and blocked nose; great heat moves; in the extreme there are boils and sores, burning and scorching, metal melts and stone runs; earth then is dry and clear, chill bleakness comes again and again, the flanks hurt and there are many deep sighs; flaying moves, and grass and trees change.
