故足之阳者，阴中之少阳也;足之阴者，阴中之太阴也。手之阳者，阳中之太阳也;手之阴者，阳中之少阴也。腰以上者为阳，腰以下者为阴。
"The Yang channels in the two feet are the Shaoyang in Yin; the Yin channels in the two feet are the Taiyin in Yin. The Yang channels in the two hands are the Taiyang in Yang; the Yin channels in the two hands are the Shaoyin in Yang. The parts above the loins are called Yang, and the parts below the loins are called Yin.
其于五藏也，心为阳中之太阳，肺为阴中[阴中:《太素》作“阳中”]之少阴，肝为阴中之少阳，脾为阴中之至阴，肾为阴中之太阴。
"In the five viscera, the heart is the Taiyang in Yang, the lung is the Shaoyin in Yang, the liver is the Shaoyang in Yin, the spleen is the extreme Yin in Yin, and the kidney is the Taiyin in Yin."
黄帝曰:以治之奈何?岐伯曰:正月、二月、三月，人气在左，无刺左足之阳;四月、五月、六月，人气在右，无刺右足之阳。七月、八月、九月，人气在右，无刺右足之阴;十月、十一月、十二月，人气在左，无刺左足之阴。
Yellow Emperor asked:"How to treat it?" Qibo said: "The Yang energy moves from left to the right, in the first, second and third lunar months, the energy of man is on the left, the three Yang channels of the left foot must not be pricked. In the fourth, fifth and sixth lunar months, the energy of man is on the right, the three Yang channels of the right foot must not be pricked. The Yin energy moves from the right to the left, in the seventh, eighth and the ninth lunar months, the energy of man is in the right, the three Yin channels of the right foot must not be pricked. In the tenth, eleventh and the twelfth lunar months, the energy of man is on the left, the three Yin channels of the left foot must not be pricked."
黄帝日:五行以东方为甲乙木王[王:周本作“主”]春，春者苍色，主肝[主肝:《太素》卷五《阴阳合》“主”作“有”，上重“苍色”二字]。肝者，足厥阴[足:《太素》卷五《阴阳合》“足”上有“主”字]也。今乃以甲为左手之少阳，不合于数何也?”岐伯曰:此天地之阴阳也，非四时五行之以次行也。且夫阴阳者，有名而无形，故数之可十，离之可百，散之可千，推之可万，此谓也。
Yellow Emperor asked: "In the five elements, the Jia anid Yi woods of east are dominating the spring season of which the colour is green, and it dominates the liver which is of the Foot Jueyin Channel. Now you take the day of Jia as the Shaoyang Channel of the left hand which is against the rule of the five elements coordinating the decimal cycle, and why is it?" Qibo said: "This is the law of the variation of heaven, earth, Yin and Yang which is not arranged according to the sequence of the four seasons and the five elements. The Yin and Yang are in names but not in shapes. Thus, when one deduces things with the principle of Yin and Yang, it can be counted into ten, but it can be divided into hundreds, can be scattered into thousands, and can be inferred into ten thousands, and one must not stick on it rigidly."
