《黄帝内经》是我们的国宝 经络论篇第五十七 【原文】黄帝问曰：夫络脉之见也，其五色各异，青黄赤白黑不同，其故何也？岐伯对曰：经有常色，而络无常变也。帝曰：经之常色，何如？岐伯曰：心赤、肺白、肝青、脾黄、肾黑，皆亦应其经脉之色也。帝曰：络之阴阳，亦应其经乎？岐伯曰：阴络之色应其经，阳络之色变无常，随四时而行也。寒多，则凝泣，凝泣则青黑；热多则淖泽，淖泽则黄赤。此皆常色，谓之无病。五色具见者，谓之寒热。帝曰：善。【译文】黄帝问说：络脉显现于外，它的五色各不相同，有青、有黄、有赤、有白、有黑之异，这是什么道理呢？岐伯回答说：经脉的颜色恒常不变，而络脉没有常色，容易变化。黄帝问说：经脉的常色是怎样的？岐伯说：心主赤、肺主白、肝主青、脾主黄、肾主黑，都与其所属经脉的颜色相应。黄帝问：阴络与阳络也和其经脉的颜色相应吗？岐伯说：阴络的颜色与其经脉相应，阳络的颜色则变化无常，随着四时的转移而变化。寒气多则气血运行凝涩迟滞；气血运行凝涩迟滞，因而多见青黑之色；热气多则气血运行滑利急速；气血运行滑利急速，因而多见黄赤之色。这些都是正常的色泽变化，称之无病。如果五色全部显现，是寒热错杂之证。黄帝说：讲得好！ 【原文】阳明之阳，名曰害蜚，上下同法。视其部中，有浮络者，皆阳明之络也。其色，多青则痛，多黑则痹，黄赤则热，多白则寒，五色皆见，则寒热也。络盛，则入客于经。阳主外，阴主内。【译文】阳明经的阳络，名叫“害蜚”，手足阳明经都是一样。观察其所属皮部的浮络，都是阳明经的络脉。若络脉中多见青色，为痛症；多见黑色，为痹症；多见黄赤色，为热证；多见白色，为寒证；五色同时出现，为属寒热错杂之证。络脉邪气盛，就会向内传入本经。络脉属阳主外，经脉属阴主内。【原文】少阳之阳，名曰枢持。上下同法。视其部中，有浮络者，皆少阳之络也。络盛，则入客于经。故在阳者主内，在阴者主出，以渗于内，诸经皆然。【译文】少阳经的阳络，名叫“枢持”，手足少阳经都是一样。观察其所属皮部中的浮络，嗾使少阳经的络脉。络脉的邪气盛，就会向内传入本经。络脉为阳，邪气有络脉内入经脉，所以说“在阳者主内”，经脉属阴，邪气由经脉出而传入内脏，所以说“在阴者主出，以渗于内”，各经都是如此。 【原文】太阳之阳，名曰关枢，上下同法。视其部中，有浮络者，皆太阳之络也。络盛，则入客于经。【译文】太阳经的阳络，名叫“关枢”，手足太阳经都是一样。观察其所属皮部中的浮络，都是太阳经的络脉。络脉的邪气盛，就会向内传入本经。 （文章来源摘自中华经典名著，由姚春鹏老师译注的《黄帝内经》） 智慧文化 请关注并转发 一起学习国粹 还原原著经典 弘扬传统文化 传承养生理 图片来源网络，如有侵权请联系删除 长按识别二维码，了解更多精彩。 往期回顾 →注意！中心2023年度老年人健康体检工作正式启动！→喜讯！中心论文入选中国知网学术精要高被引论文→中心举行2023年度科研课题申报擂台赛
