This meridian branch emerges from the top of the head to the upper corner of the ear. The straight channel runs from the top of the head to the occipital bone, enters the cranial cavity, connects with the brain, and then goes down to the neck (Tianzhu point), where it intersects at the Dazhui point, then divides into left and right sides along the inner side of the shoulder blade and both sides of the spine (one inch and five fen), reaches the waist (Shenshu point), enters the muscles on both sides of the spine, goes deep into the body cavity, connects with the kidneys, and belongs to the bladder. A branch of this meridian branches out from the waist, descends along both sides of the spine, passes through the buttocks, and descends from the outer edge of the back of the thigh to the popliteal fossa (Weizhong point). The other branch runs from the nape of the neck, passes through the inner side of the scapula, and goes down from the Fufen point on the spine (3 inches) to the hip joint, passes through the posterior side of the thigh to the popliteal fossa to meet the previous branch, then goes down through the gastrocnemius muscle, exits behind the lateral malleolus, along the lateral edge of the dorsum of the foot to the lateral end of the little toe (Zhiyin point), and connects with the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian.
