制针须用马衔铁，惟有金针更可嘉， 炼涂酥插腊肉，煮针之药有多法。

子时对应脚踝，丑时对应头部，寅时对应耳旁，卯时对应面部，辰时对应颈项，巳时对应乳房和肩部，午时对应胁肋，未时对应腹部，申时对应心包（胸膈），酉时对应膝盖，戌时对应腰部，亥时对应大腿端部。
【注】子时对应脚踝，指左右内踝和外踝。寅时对应耳旁，指左右两耳。辰时对应颈项，即脖子。巳时对应乳房和肩部，指两侧乳房和肩膀。午时对应胁肋，指左右胁肋部。未时对应腹部，指大腹和小腹。申时对应心包，指胸膈部位。酉时对应膝盖，指左右两膝。戌时对应腰部，指腰背部。亥时对应大腿，指两腿内外侧。
必须首先明确禁止针刺的穴位：脑户、囟会以及神庭穴，络却、玉枕、角孙穴，颅息、承泣随同承灵穴，神道、灵台、膻中穴忌讳针刺，水分、神阙并会阴穴，横骨、气冲、手五里穴，箕门、承筋及青灵穴，乳中穴向上，三阳络穴，共二十三个穴位不可针刺。孕妇不宜针刺合谷穴，三阴交穴内部也遵循这一通论，石门穴针灸应当忌讳，女子若施针会导致终身无法怀孕。另外有云门穴和鸠尾穴，缺盆穴、客主人穴不要深刺，肩井穴深刺会导致人昏倒，足三里穴急补可使人气血恢复平稳，误刺中五脏则胆气绝而死，冲阳穴出血则注入幽冥之地（指死亡）。海泉穴、颧髎穴、乳头上方，脊间中髓穴导致伛偻畸形，手鱼际穴、陷谷穴、股内侧，膝膑穴、筋会穴及肾经穴位，腋窝和大腿下方各三寸处，眼眶关节皆需通晓评析。
禁止艾灸的穴位有四十七个：承光、哑门、风府穴逆用，睛明、攒竹、下迎香穴，天柱、素髎穴上临泣穴，脑户、耳门、脉通穴，禾髎穴、颧髎穴、丝竹空穴，头维、下关、人迎等穴，肩贞、大牖、心俞穴相同，乳中、脊中、白环俞穴，鸠尾、渊液和周荣穴，腹哀、少商并鱼际穴，经渠、天府及中冲穴，阳池、阳关、地五会穴，漏谷、阴陵、条口逢穴，殷门、申脉、承扶穴忌讳，伏兔、髀关连委中穴，阴市穴下行寻找犊鼻穴，这些穴位都不要用艾火攻治。
制作针具必须使用马衔铁，只有金针更加值得称赞，将针炼涂酥油插入腊肉，煮针的药物有多种方法。
【注】制作针具使用马嚼环铁的原因，是因为马属午时，午时属火，火克金，取克制之义。如果用真金制作针具，使用效果更佳。其炼制的方法：将铁丝在火中烧红，截成二寸或三寸或五寸长短不拘，然后用蟾酥涂抹在针上，放入火中微微加热，取出后，再次照前法涂酥，重复三次，趁热插入腊肉皮的里面、肉的表面，将后面的药用水三碗煎沸，然后放入针肉在内，煮至水干，倒入水中，待冷却后将针取出，在黄土中插百余下，以去除火毒，针要光洁圆润，不可用尖锋，然后用铜丝缠绕其柄。

[Note] "Zi ankle" refers to the left and right medial and lateral malleoli. "Yin beside the ear" refers to both ears. "Chen neck" refers to the cervical region. "Si breasts and shoulders" refers to the bilateral breasts and shoulders. "Wu flanks" refers to the bilateral costal regions. "Wei abdomen" refers to the greater and lesser abdomen. "Shen Pericardium" refers to the chest and diaphragm. "You knees" refers to the bilateral knees. "Xu waist" refers to the lumbar and dorsal regions. "Hai thighs" refers to the medial and lateral aspects of both thighs.
One must first clearly understand the contraindicated acupoints for needle insertion: Naohu (GV17), Xinhui (GV22), and Shenting (GV24); Luoque (BL9), Yuzhen (BL9), and Jiaosun (TE6); Luxi (TE19), Chengqi (ST1), and Chengling (GB15); Shendao (GV11), Lingtai (GV10), and Danzhong (CV17) are forbidden; Shuifen (CV9), Shenque (CV8), and Huiyin (CV1) are forbidden; Henggu (KI12), Qichong (ST30), and Shouwuli (LI13); Jimen (LR8), Chengjin (BL56), and Qingling (HT8); Ruzhong (CV17) upwards; Sanyangluo (TE7). These twenty-three points must not be needled. Pregnant women should avoid needling Hegu (LI4); this is also a general rule regarding Sanyinjiao (SP6). Stone Gate (Shimen, CV5) must be avoided for both acupuncture and moxibustion; if needled in women, it results in lifelong infertility. Additionally, Yunmen (LU2) and Jiutui (CV15); Quepen (ST12) and Kerenzhu (GB14) should not be needled deeply. Deep needling of Jianjing (GB21) may cause fainting; urgent tonification of Zusanli (ST36) can restore stability. Accidental puncture of the five Zang organs leads to death; bleeding from Chongyang (ST42) implies fatal injury. Haiquan (GV25), Quanliao (SI18), above the nipple; Zhijian Zhongsui (likely referring to spinal marrow points) causes kyphosis; Shouyuji (LU10), Xian Gu (likely referring to Xiangu ST2 or similar), inner thigh; Xibin (likely referring to Dubi ST35), Jin Hui (likely referring to Yanglingquan GB34 or similar), and Kidney Meridian points; three cun below the axilla and groin; orbital joints—all require thorough assessment.
There are forty-seven points contraindicated for moxibustion: Chengguang (BL7), Yamen (GV15), Fengfu (GV16) are adverse; Jingming (BL1), Cuanzhu (BL2), Xia Yingxiang (likely referring to Yingxiang LI20); Tianzhu (BL10), Suliao (GV26) upwards, Linqi (likely referring to Shangliao BL31 or similar); Naohu (GV17), Ermen (TE21), Maotong (likely referring to Touwei ST8 or similar); Heliao (SI18), Quanliao (SI18), Sizhukong (TE23); Touwei (ST8), Xiaguan (ST7), Renying (ST9), etc.; Jianzhen (SI9), Dayou (likely referring to Xinshu BL15 or similar), Xinshu (BL15) are same; Ruzhong (CV17), Jizhong (GV11), Baihuanshu (BL30); Jiutui (CV15), Yuan Ye (likely referring to Yuanye or similar), Zhou Rong (ST25); Fu Ai (ST16), Shaoshang (LU11) and Yuji (LU10); Jingqu (LU8), Tianfu (LU3) and Zhongchong (PC9); Yangchi (TE4), Yangguan (likely referring to Mingmen GV4 or similar), Di Wuhui (GB29); Lougu (SP8), Yinlingquan (SP9), Tiaokou (ST38); Yinmen (BL37), Shenmai (BL62), Chengfu (BL36) are forbidden; Futu (ST32), Biguan (ST31) connect to Weizhong (BL40); Yinshi (ST33) downwards, seek Dubi (ST35). Do not apply moxa fire to these points.
Needles must be made from horse-bit iron; gold needles are even more excellent. The process involves refining, coating with toad venom paste, inserting into cured meat, and boiling with specific herbs.
[Note] Horse-bit iron is used because the horse corresponds to the Wu (Horse) branch, which belongs to Fire. Fire conquers Metal (Gold), symbolizing the control of sharpness. Using pure gold for needles is superior. The refinement method: Heat iron wire until red-hot in fire, cut into lengths of two, three, or five cun. Coat the needle with Toad Venom Paste (Chan Su), briefly heat in fire, remove, and repeat coating and heating three times. While hot, insert the needle between the skin and flesh of cured meat. Boil water (three bowls), add the needle-infused meat, and boil until the water evaporates. Pour out, immerse in cold water, and retrieve the needle once cool. Insert the needle into yellow earth over a hundred times to remove "fire toxicity." The needle tip must be smooth and rounded, not sharp. Finally, wrap the handle with copper wire.
