金津、玉液归经考辨

Textual Research on the Meridian Attribution of Points JInjin(Ex-HN12) and Yuye(Ex-HN13)

古今医籍对金津、玉液归经的认识有所不同,为明确该穴归经,对历代文献进行考证。结果显示金津、玉液在《黄帝内经》中属足少阴经穴。但在历代文献流传过程中,由于名实不辨、源流不清的问题,最终致使该穴误归入经外奇穴。故建议将金津、玉液重新归入足少阴经穴。

Ancient and modern medical books have different understandings of the meridian attribution of points Jinjin （Ex-HN12） and Yuye （Ex-HN13）. Textual research on literature of the past dynasties was conducted to ascertain the meridian attribution of points Jinjin and Yuye. The results showed that points Jinjin and Yuye belong to foot-Shaoyin meridians in Huangdi’s Internal Classic. In the process of spreading of literature of the past dynasties, the acupoints were finally mistakenly classified as the extraordinary points because of no distinction between fame and truth, and unclear origin. It is suggested that points Jinjin and Yuye be again classified as foot-Shaoyin meridian points.
