肝脾两经在小腿内侧面交叉循行探析

Analysis of the intersection and running course of liver meridian and spleen meridian in the medial side of the lower leg

针对足厥阴肝经与足太阴脾经在内踝上八寸的循行交叉问题,诸多学者提出各自的观点,如经脉所属络脏腑的位置决定经脉在四肢部循行位置的前后;足厥阴肝经与足太阴脾经的起始部位决定后续循行的交叉;肝经和脾经的例外分布是采用拇趾向内的不标准姿势造成的等观点。经过研究讨论,提出如应用"针刺、按摩等方法刺激穴位出现的感传现象说明经络的存在,而具有相似主治作用穴位的位置决定经脉的循行路线"的观点以解释足厥阴肝经和足太阴脾经在小腿内侧面内踝上八寸的交叉循行路线。

Concerning the intersection and running course of Jueyin Liver Meridian of Foot （ liver meridian） and Taiyin Spleen Meridian of Foot （spleen meridian） on eight cun above the medial malleolus, many scholars put forward their views. The locations of meridian-connected viscera determine the positions of meridians running course in four limbs; the starting positions of liver meridian and spleen meridian decide the intersection in the subsequent running course; the unusual distribution of liver meridian and spleen meridian is caused by the nonstandard posture with the inward great toe. After research and analysis, the paper presents the viewpoint that propagated sensation along meridians when stimulating acupoints with acupuncture and massage indicates the existence of meridians, and the locations of acupoints with similar treatment functions determine the running course of meridians. This point of view is to explain the intersection and running course of liver meridian and spleen meridian on eight cun above the medial malleolus in the medial side of the lower leg.
