忌针之穴，见《针经》第四卷。
“抑又闻高皇抱疾未瘥，李氏刺巨阙而得苏；太子暴死为厥，越人针维会而复醒。肩井
、曲池，甄权刺臂痛而复射；悬钟、环跳，华佗刺 足而立行。秋夫针腰俞而鬼免沉 ，王纂针
交俞而妖精立出。刺肝俞与命门，使瞽士视秋毫之末；取少阳与交别，俾聋夫听夏蚋之声。
嗟夫！去圣愈远，斯道渐坠，或不得意而散其学，或炫其能而犯禁忌。愚庸志浅，难契于元
言，至道渊深，得之者有几？偶述斯言，不敢示诸明达者焉，庶几乎童蒙之心启。”
三里内庭穴，曲池合谷彻。
委中配承山，下至昆仑绝。
环跳与阳陵，通里与列缺。
合担用法担，合截用法截。
专心常记此，莫与闲人说。
三百六十穴，不如十一穴，
此法少人知，金锁都门 。
将针治病患，有如汤沃雪。
非人莫传与，休把天机泄。
三里在膝下，三寸两筋间，能除心腹胀，善治胃中寒，肠鸣并积聚，肿满膝
胫酸，劳伤形瘦损，气蛊病诸般。人过三旬后，针灸眼能宽。取穴当举足，得法不为难。
内庭足两间，胃脉是阳明，针治四肢厥，喜静恶闻声，遍身风隐疹，伸欠
及牙疼，疟病不思食，针着便惺惺。
曲池曲肘里，曲着陷中求，善治肘中痛，偏风手不收，挽弓开未得，筋缓
怎梳头，喉闭促欲绝，发热竟无休，遍身风隐疹，针灸必能瘳。
我又听说，汉高祖患病久治不愈，李氏医生针刺巨阙穴后病情好转苏醒；太子突然昏死（厥证），扁鹊（秦越人）针刺维会穴后使其重新醒来。甄权针刺肩井、曲池穴，使臂痛患者恢复拉弓射箭的能力；华佗针刺悬钟、环跳穴，使足部瘫痪者能够立即行走。秋夫针刺腰俞穴，使附身之鬼魂免除沉疴（或指治愈重病）；王纂针刺交俞穴，使妖精立刻现形离去。针刺肝俞穴与命门穴，能使盲人看清秋天鸟兽细毛的末端；取用少阳经穴与交别穴，能使聋人听到夏天蚊虫的声音。
唉！距离圣人的时代越来越远，针灸之道逐渐衰落，有的人不得要领便放弃学业，有的人炫耀技艺而触犯禁忌。我愚钝浅薄，难以契合深奥的道理，至高之道渊深，能领悟的人有多少？偶然陈述这些言语，不敢展示给高明通达的人看，或许可以启发童蒙之心。
足三里和内庭穴，配合曲池和合谷穴使用，疗效贯通全身。
委中穴配承山穴，向下延伸至昆仑穴达到极致。
环跳穴与阳陵泉穴，配合通里穴和列缺穴。
根据病情需要，该承担（全面治疗）时就用担法，该截断（局部治疗）时就用截法。
专心常常记住这些口诀，不要随便告诉无关的人。
全身三百六十个穴位，不如这十一个穴位重要，
这种方法很少有人知道，如同金锁封闭都城门户。
用针灸治疗疾病，就像热水浇在雪上一样迅速见效。
不是合适的人不要传授，不要把天机泄露出去。
足三里穴位于膝盖下方三寸，两筋之间，能消除心腹胀满，善于治疗胃中寒邪，肠鸣音及积聚症，肿胀满闷及膝胫酸痛，劳损导致的形体消瘦，以及气蛊等各种病症。人过了三十岁以后，针灸此穴能使眼睛视力放宽（改善视力）。取穴时应抬起脚，掌握方法并不难。
内庭穴位于足背第二、三趾间，属于足阳明胃经，针刺可治疗四肢厥冷，喜静恶闻声响，遍身风疹瘙痒，呵欠及牙痛，疟疾食欲不振，针刺后患者便会清醒舒适。
曲池穴在屈肘时的凹陷处寻找，善于治疗肘部疼痛，半身不遂导致手臂不能收持，想拉弓却无力张开，筋脉松弛无法梳头，喉痹呼吸困难近乎窒息，发热持续不退，遍身风疹瘙痒，针灸此穴必定能痊愈。
The acupoints contraindicated for needling are recorded in Volume 4 of the *Zhen Jing* (Classic of Acupuncture).
I have also heard that when Emperor Gaozu of Han suffered from an illness that did not heal, Li Shi (Physician Li) stimulated Jueque (CV14), and the patient revived; when the Crown Prince suddenly died in a state of Jue syndrome (sudden collapse or loss of consciousness), Yue Ren (Bian Que/Qin Yueren) needled Weihui (a point at the vertex where multiple meridians intersect), and he regained consciousness. Zhen Quan stimulated Jianjing (GB21) and Quchi (LI11), enabling a patient with arm pain to resume drawing a bow; Hua Tuo stimulated Xuanzhong (GB39) and Huantiao (GB30), allowing a patient with foot paralysis to stand and walk immediately. Qiu Fu needled Yaoshu (BL23), freeing a possessed individual from deep affliction; Wang Zuan needled Jiaoshu (BL27), causing a spirit entity to vanish instantly. Needling Ganshu (BL18) and Mingmen (GV4) enabled a blind person to see the finest details of autumn down; selecting Shaoyang meridian points and Jiaobie points enabled a deaf man to hear the sound of summer mosquitoes.
Alas! As we move further away from the sages, this Dao gradually declines. Some abandon their studies because they fail to grasp its essence, while others flaunt their skills and violate contraindications. I am foolish and shallow, finding it difficult to align with the profound words. The supreme Dao is deep and abstruse; how many can truly attain it? I casually record these words, daring not to show them to the enlightened and accomplished. Perhaps they may serve to enlighten the minds of beginners.
Sanyli (ST36) and Neiting (ST44); Quchi (LI11) and Hegu (LI4) together.
Weizhong (BL40) paired with Chengshan (BL57); extending down to Kunlun (BL60) reaches the extreme.
Huantiao (GB30) and Yanglingquan (GB34); Tongli (HT5) and Lieque (LU7).
When the condition requires comprehensive support, use the "Dan" (bearing/supporting) method; when it requires interception, use the "Jie" (intercepting/cutting) method.
Focus on memorizing these constantly; do not share them with idle people.
Three hundred and sixty acupoints are not as effective as these eleven points.
This method is known by few; it is like a golden lock sealing the city gates.
Using acupuncture to treat diseases is like pouring hot water on snow—rapidly resolving the issue.
Do not transmit this to unqualified persons; do not leak this heavenly secret.
Sanyli (ST36) is located three cun below the knee, between the two tendons. It can relieve abdominal distension and fullness, effectively treating cold in the stomach, borborygmus (intestinal rumbling) and accumulations, swelling and fullness, soreness in the knees and shins, emaciation due to overstrain, and various Qi-related disorders such as Qi Gu (abdominal mass). For individuals over thirty years old, needling this point can improve vision. To locate the point, lift the foot; mastering the technique is not difficult.
Neiting (ST44) is located between the second and third toes of the foot, belonging to the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Needling treats cold extremities (Jue limb), aversion to noise, generalized urticaria (wind rash), yawning, and toothache. For malaria with loss of appetite, needling brings clarity and comfort.
Quchi (LI11) is found in the depression when the elbow is flexed. It effectively treats elbow pain, hemiplegia with inability to adduct the arm, weakness preventing one from drawing a bow, flaccid tendons making it difficult to comb hair, throat obstruction with dyspnea nearing suffocation, persistent fever, and generalized urticaria. Acupuncture here will surely bring healing.
