筋脈（上居銀反周禮云醫師以辛養筋說文曰肉之力也從肉竹竹者物之多筋者也從力者力像筋之形經或從草作荕從角作䈥皆非正字下麻伯反周禮以鹹養脉說文云血理分行於體中謂之脉正從血從𠂢作𧖴𠂢音普賣反經文從永者俗字也）。

筋脈 (sinews and vessels: the first character is *j[ū]-y[ín]* fan; the Rites of Zhou states: “Physicians nourish the sinews with acrid flavours.” The Shuowen jiezi states: “The strength of the flesh.” It is classified under 肉 [flesh] and 竹 [bamboo]; bamboo is an entity of numerous fibres. Classified under 力 [strength] because strength resembles the form of sinews. The sūtra text sometimes writing 荕 under 艸 or 䈥 under 角 are neither standard characters. The second character is *m[á]-b[ó]* fan; the Rites of Zhou states that salty flavours nourish the vessels. The Shuowen jiezi states: “Blood channels distributed through the body are called 脉.” The orthodox form is classified under 血 [blood] and 𠂢, written 𧖴; 𠂢 is pronounced *p[ǔ]-m[ài]* fan. The sūtra text writing with 永 is a vulgar character).
