《灵枢·经脉》：胃足阳明之脉：起于鼻，交頞中，旁约太阳之脉，下循鼻外，入上齿中，还出挟口，环唇，下交承浆，却循颐后下廉，出大迎，循颊车 ，上耳前，过客主人，循发际，至额颅 。

The Stomach Meridian starts from the lateral side of ala nosi. It ascends to the bridge of the nose, where it meets the Bladder Meridian,turning downward along the lateral side of the nose, it enters the upper gum. Reemerging, it curves round the lips, descends to meet Chengjiang(CV24), then it runs posterior laterally across the lower position of the cheek at Daying(ST5). Winding along the angle of the mandible-Jiache, it ascends in front of the ear and traverses Shangguan(GB3) then it follows the anterior hairline, and reaches the fore head.

The branch emerging in front of Daying(ST5) runs downwards to Renying(ST9), it goes along the throat and enters the supraclavicular fossa. Descending, it passes through the diaphragm, enters the stomach, the pertaining organ, and meets the spleen.

The branch emerging from the supraclavicular fossa runs downward passing through the nipple. It descends by the umbilicus and enters Qichong(ST30)on the lateral side of the lower abdomen.

The branch from the lower orifice of the stomach descends inside the abdomen and joins the previous portion of the meridian at Qichong(ST30), running downward, traversing Biguan(ST31), and reaching Futu(ST32) and then the knee. It continues downward along the anterior border of the lateral aspect of the tibia, passes through the dorsum of the foot and enters the medial side of the middle toe.

The tibial branch emerges from 3 cun below the knee and enters the lateral side of the middle toe.

其支者：别跗上，入大指间，出其端。

The branch from the dorsum of the foot rises from the dorsum and terminates at the medial side of the tip of the great toe and comes out at the tip.
