针经标幽赋
《针经指南》
拯救之法，妙用者针。察岁时于天道，定形气于予心。春夏瘦而刺浅，秋冬肥而刺深。不穷经络阴阳，多逢刺禁；既论脏腑虚实，须向经寻。原夫起自中焦，水初下漏。太阴为始，至厥阴而方终；穴出云门，抵期门而最后。正经十二，别络走三百余支；正侧偃伏，气血有六百余候。手足三阳，手走头而头走足；手足三阴，足走腹而胸走手。要识迎随，须明逆顺；况乎阴阳，气血多少为最，厥阴太阳，少气多血；太阴少阴，少血多气；而又气多血少者，少阳之分；气盛血多者，阳明之位。先详多少之宜，次察应至之气。轻滑慢而未来，沉涩紧而已至。既至也，量寒热而留疾；未至也，据虚实而候气。气之至也，若鱼吞钩饵之浮沉；气未至也，似闲处幽堂之深邃。气速至而效速，气迟至而不治。 观夫九针之法，毫针最微，七星上应，众穴主持。本形金也，有蠲邪扶正之道；短长水也，有决凝开滞之机；定刺象木，或斜或正；口藏比火，进阳补羸。循机扪而可塞以象土，实应五行而可知。然是三寸六分，包含妙理；虽细桢于毫发，同贯多歧。可平五脏之寒热，能调六腑之虚实。拘挛闭塞，遣八邪而去矣；寒热痛痹，开四关而已之。凡刺者，使本神朝而后入；既刺也，使本神定而气随。神不朝而勿刺，神已定而可施。
定脚处，取气血为主意，下手处，认水木是根基。天地人，三才也，涌泉同璇玑百会；上中下，三部也，大包与天枢地机。阳蹻阳维并督脉，主肩背腰腿在表之病；阴跷阴维任带冲，去心腹胁肋在里之疑。二陵二跷二交，似续而交五大；两间两商两井、相依而別两支。大抵取穴之法，必有分寸；先审自意，次观肉分。或伸屈而得之，或平直而安定。在阳部筋骨之侧，陷下为真；在阴分郄膕之间，动脉相应。取五穴用一穴而必端。取三经用一经而可正。头部与肩部详分，督脉与任脉易定。明标与本，论刺深刺浅之经；住痛移疼，取相交相贯之径。岂不闻脏腑病，而求门海俞募之微；经络滞，而求原别交会之道。更穷四根三结，依标本而刺无不痊；但用八法五门，分主客而针无不效。八脉始终连八会，本是纪纲；十二经络十二原，是为枢要。一日刺六十六穴之法，方见幽微；一时取十二经之原，始知要妙。原夫补泻之法，非呼吸而在手指；速效之功，要交正而识本经。交经缪刺，左有病而右畔取；泻络远针，头有病而脚上针。巨刺与缪刺各异，微针与妙刺相通。观部分而知经络之虚实，视沉浮而辨脏腑之寒温。且夫先令针耀而虑针损；次藏口内而欲针温。目无外视，手如握虎；心无内慕，如待贵人。左手重而多按，欲令气散；右手轻而徐入，不痛之因。空心恐怯，直立侧而多晕；背目沉掐，坐卧平而没昏。推于十干十变，知孔穴之开阖；论其五行五脏，察日时之旺衰。伏如横弩，应若发机。阴交阳别，而定血晕；阴跷阴维，而下胎衣。痹厥偏枯，迎随俾经络接续；漏崩带下，温补使气血依归，静以久留，停针候之。必准者，取照海治喉中之闭塞；端的处，用大钟治心内之呆痴。大抵疼痛实泻，痒麻虚补。体重节痛而俞居，心下痞满而井主。心胀咽痛，针太冲而必除；脾痛胃疼，泻公孙而立愈。胸满腹痛刺内关，胁疼肋痛针飞虎。筋挛骨痛而补魂门；体热劳嗽而泻魄户。头风头痛，刺申脉与金门；眼痒眼疼，泻光明与地五。泻阴郄止盗汗，治小儿骨蒸；刺偏历利小便，医大人水蛊。中风环跳而宜刺，虚损天枢而可取。由是午前卯后，太阴生而疾温；离左酉南，月死朔而速冷，循捫弹怒，留吸母而坚长；爪下伸提，疾呼子而嘘短。动退空歇，迎夺右而泻凉；推纳进搓，随济左而补暖。慎之大患危疾，色脉不顺而莫针；寒热风阴，饥饱醉劳而切忌。望不补而晦不泻，弦不夺而朔不济。精其心而穷其法，无灸艾而坏其皮；正其理而求其原，免投针而失其位。避灸处而加四肢，四十有九；禁刺处而除六俞，二十有二。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，华佗刺跛足而立行。秋夫针腰俞，而鬼免沉疴；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！去圣逾远，此道渐坠。或不得意而散其学，或衍其能而犯禁忌。愚庸志浅，难契于玄言；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。
长桑君天星秘诀歌
徐氏《针灸大全》
天星秘诀少人知，此法专分前后施。
冷风湿痹针何处，先取环跳次阳陵。
此是桑君真口诀，时医莫作等闲轻。
梓岐风谷飞经走气撮要金针赋
徐氏《针灸大全》
观夫针道，捷法最奇。须要明于补泻，方可起于倾危。先分病之上下，次定穴之高低。头有病而足取之，左有病而右取之。男子之气，早在上而晚在下，取之必明其理；女子之气，早在下而晚在上，用之必识其时。午前为早属阳，午后为晚属阴。男女上下，凭腰分之。手足三阳，手走头而头走足；手足三阴，足走腹而胸走手。阴升阳降，出入之机。逆之者，为泻为迎；顺之者，为补为随。春夏刺浅者以瘦，秋冬刺深者以肥。更观原气厚薄；浅深之刺尤宜。
原夫补泻之法，妙在呼吸手指。男子者，大指进前左转，呼之为补，退后右转，吸之为泻，提针为热，插针为寒；女子者，大指退后右转吸之为补，进前左转，呼之为泻，插针为热，提针为寒。左与右有异，胸与背不同。午前者如此，午后者反之。是故爪而切之，下针之法，摇而退之，出针之法；动而进之，催针之法；循而摄之行气之法。搓则去病，弹则补虚。肚腹盘旋，扪为穴闭。重沉豆许曰按，轻浮豆许曰提。一十四法，针要所备。补者一退三飞，真气自归；泻者一飞三退，邪气自避。补则补其不足，泻则泻其有余。有余者为肿为痛，曰实；不足者为痒为麻,曰虚。气速效速，气迟效迟。死生贵贱，针下皆知。贱者硬而贵者脆，生者涩而死者虚，候之不至，必死无疑。
且夫下针之法，先须爪按，重而切之，次令咳嗽一声，随咳下针。凡补者呼气，初针刺至皮内，乃曰天才；少停进针，刺至肉内，是曰人才；又停进针，刺至筋骨之间，名曰地才，此为极处，就当补之。再停良久，却须退针至人之分，待气沉紧，倒针朝病。进退往来，飞经走气，尽在其中矣。凡泻者吸气，初针至天，少停进针，直至于地，得气泻之。再停良久，却须退针，复至于人，待气沉紧，倒针朝病，法同前矣。其或晕针者，神气虚也，以针补之，以袖掩之，口鼻气回，热汤与之。略停少顷，依前再施。
及夫调气之法，下针至地之后，复人之分。欲气上行，将针右捻，欲气下行，将针左捻。欲补先呼后吸，欲泻先吸后呼。气不至者，以手循摄，以爪切掐，以针摇动，进捻搓弹，直待气至，以龙虎升腾之法，按之在前使气在后，按之在后使气在前，运气走至疼痛之所，以纳气之法，扶针直插，复向下纳，使气不回。若关节阻涩，气不过者，以龙虎龟凤通经接气大段之法，驱而运之，仍以循摄爪切，无不应矣。此通仙之妙。
况夫出针之法，病势既退，针气微松；病未退者，针气如根，推之不动，转之不移，此为邪气吸拔其针，乃真气未至，不可出。出之者，其病即复，再须补泻，停以待之，直候微松，方可出针豆许，摇而停之。补者吸之去疾，其穴急扪；泻者呼之去徐，其穴不闭。欲令腠密，然后吸气；故曰下针贵迟，太急伤血；出针贵缓，太急伤气。以上总要，于其尽矣。
考夫治病之法有八：一曰烧山火，治顽麻冷痹，先浅后深，用九阳而三进三退，慢提紧按，热至紧闭，插针除寒之有准。二曰透天凉，治肌热骨蒸，先深后浅，用六阴而三出三入，紧提慢按，徐徐举针，退热之可凭。皆细细搓之，去病准绳。三曰阳中之阴，先寒后热，浅而深，以九六之法，则先补后泻也。四曰阴中之阳，先热后寒，深而浅，以六九之方，则泻后补也。补者直须热至，泻者务待寒侵，犹如搓线，慢慢转针。法其浅则用浅，法在深则用深，二者不可兼而紊之也。五曰子午捣臼，水蛊膈气，落穴之后，调气均匀，针行上下，九入六出，左右转之，千遭自平。六曰进气之诀，腰背肘膝痛，浑身走注疼，刺九分，行九补，卧针五七吸，待上行。亦可龙虎交战，左捻九而右捻六，是亦住痛之针。七曰留气之诀，痃癖癥瘕，刺七分，用纯阳，然后乃直插针，气来深刺，提针再停。八曰抽添之诀，瘫痪疮癩，取其要穴，使九阳得气，提按搜寻，大要运气周遍。扶针直插，复向下纳，回阳倒阴。指下玄微，胸中活法，一有未应，反复再施。

针经标幽赋
《针经指南》
拯救生命的方法，妙用在于针。观察岁时在天道的变化，确定形体气质在心中。春夏季节身体瘦弱则刺浅，秋冬季节身体肥胖则刺深。不通晓经络阴阳，多会遇到针刺禁忌；既然论述脏腑虚实，必须向经脉寻找。原本气血起自中焦，水谷初下漏注。手太阴肺经为始，到手厥阴心包经而终；穴位出于云门穴，抵期门穴而最后。正经十二条，别络行走三百余支；正侧偃伏，气血有六百余候。手足三阳经，手走头而头走足；手足三阴经，足走腹而胸走手。要认识迎随补泻，必须明白逆顺；何况阴阳，气血多少最为关键，厥阴太阳，少气多血；太阴少阴，少血多气；而又气多血少的，是少阳之分；气盛血多的，是阳明之位。先详细多少的适宜，次观察应至之气。轻滑慢而未来，沉涩紧而已至。既已至也，量寒热而留针或疾出；未至也，据虚实而候气。气之至也，像鱼吞钩饵的浮沉；气未至也，似闲处幽堂的深邃。气速至而效速，气迟至而不治。 观看九针的方法，毫针最细微，七星上应，众穴主持。本体属金，有祛邪扶正的道理；短长属水，有决凝开滞的机制；定刺象木，或斜或正；口藏比火，进阳补羸。循机扪而可塞以象土，实应五行而可知。然而这三寸六分，包含妙理；虽然细小如毫发，同贯多歧。可平五脏之寒热，能调六腑之虚实。拘挛闭塞，遣八邪而去矣；寒热痛痹，开四关而已之。凡刺者，使本神朝而后入；既刺也，使本神定而气随。神不朝而勿刺，神已定而可施。
定脚处，取气血为主意，下手处，认水木是根基。天地人，三才也，涌泉同璇玑百会；上中下，三部也，大包与天枢地机。阳蹻阳维并督脉，主肩背腰腿在表之病；阴跷阴维任带冲，去心腹胁肋在里之疑。二陵二跷二交，似续而交五大；两间两商两井、相依而別两支。大抵取穴之法，必有分寸；先审自意，次观肉分。或伸屈而得之，或平直而安定。在阳部筋骨之侧，陷下为真；在阴分郄膕之间，动脉相应。取五穴用一穴而必端。取三经用一经而可正。头部与肩部详分，督脉与任脉易定。明标与本，论刺深刺浅之经；住痛移疼，取相交相贯之径。岂不闻脏腑病，而求门海俞募之微；经络滞，而求原别交会之道。更穷四根三结，依标本而刺无不痊；但用八法五门，分主客而针无不效。八脉始终连八会，本是纪纲；十二经络十二原，是为枢要。一日刺六十六穴之法，方见幽微；一时取十二经之原，始知要妙。原夫补泻之法，非呼吸而在手指；速效之功，要交正而识本经。交经缪刺，左有病而右畔取；泻络远针，头有病而脚上针。巨刺与缪刺各异，微针与妙刺相通。观部分而知经络之虚实，视沉浮而辨脏腑之寒温。且夫先令针耀而虑针损；次藏口内而欲针温。目无外视，手如握虎；心无内慕，如待贵人。左手重而多按，欲令气散；右手轻而徐入，不痛之因。空心恐怯，直立侧而多晕；背目沉掐，坐卧平而没昏。推于十干十变，知孔穴之开阖；论其五行五脏，察日时之旺衰。伏如横弩，应若发机。阴交阳别，而定血晕；阴跷阴维，而下胎衣。痹厥偏枯，迎随俾经络接续；漏崩带下，温补使气血依归，静以久留，停针候之。必准者，取照海治喉中之闭塞；端的处，用大钟治心内之呆痴。大抵疼痛实泻，痒麻虚补。体重节痛而俞居，心下痞满而井主。心胀咽痛，针太冲而必除；脾痛胃疼，泻公孙而立愈。胸满腹痛刺内关，胁疼肋痛针飞虎。筋挛骨痛而补魂门；体热劳嗽而泻魄户。头风头痛，刺申脉与金门；眼痒眼疼，泻光明与地五。泻阴郄止盗汗，治小儿骨蒸；刺偏历利小便，医大人水蛊。中风环跳而宜刺，虚损天枢而可取。由是午前卯后，太阴生而疾温；离左酉南，月死朔而速冷，循捫弹怒，留吸母而坚长；爪下伸提，疾呼子而嘘短。动退空歇，迎夺右而泻凉；推纳进搓，随济左而补暖。慎之大患危疾，色脉不顺而莫针；寒热风阴，饥饱醉劳而切忌。望不补而晦不泻，弦不夺而朔不济。精其心而穷其法，无灸艾而坏其皮；正其理而求其原，免投针而失其位。避灸处而加四肢，四十有九；禁刺处而除六俞，二十有二。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，华佗刺跛足而立行。秋夫针腰俞，而鬼免沉疴；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！去圣逾远，此道渐坠。或不得意而散其学，或衍其能而犯禁忌。愚庸志浅，难契于玄言；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。

梓岐风谷飞经走气撮要金针赋
徐氏《针灸大全》
观看针道，捷法最奇。须要明于补泻，方可起于倾危。先分病之上下，次定穴之高低。头有病而足取之，左有病而右取之。男子之气，早在上而晚在下，取之必明其理；女子之气，早在下而晚在上，用之必识其时。午前为早属阳，午后为晚属阴。男女上下，凭腰分之。手足三阳，手走头而头走足；手足三阴，足走腹而胸走手。阴升阳降，出入之机。逆之者，为泻为迎；顺之者，为补为随。春夏刺浅者以瘦，秋冬刺深者以肥。更观原气厚薄；浅深之刺尤宜。
原夫补泻之法，妙在呼吸手指。男子者，大指进前左转，呼之为补，退后右转，吸之为泻，提针为热，插针为寒；女子者，大指退后右转吸之为补，进前左转，呼之为泻，插针为热，提针为寒。左与右有异，胸与背不同。午前者如此，午后者反之。是故爪而切之，下针之法，摇而退之，出针之法；动而进之，催针之法；循而摄之行气之法。搓则去病，弹则补虚。肚腹盘旋，扪为穴闭。重沉豆许曰按，轻浮豆许曰提。一十四法，针要所备。补者一退三飞，真气自归；泻者一飞三退，邪气自避。补则补其不足，泻则泻其有余。有余者为肿为痛，曰实；不足者为痒为麻,曰虚。气速效速，气迟效迟。死生贵贱，针下皆知。贱者硬而贵者脆，生者涩而死者虚，候之不至，必死无疑。
且夫下针之法，先须爪按，重而切之，次令咳嗽一声，随咳下针。凡补者呼气，初针刺至皮内，乃曰天才；少停进针，刺至肉内，是曰人才；又停进针，刺至筋骨之间，名曰地才，此为极处，就当补之。再停良久，却须退针至人之分，待气沉紧，倒针朝病。进退往来，飞经走气，尽在其中矣。凡泻者吸气，初针至天，少停进针，直至于地，得气泻之。再停良久，却须退针，复至于人，待气沉紧，倒针朝病，法同前矣。其或晕针者，神气虚也，以针补之，以袖掩之，口鼻气回，热汤与之。略停少顷，依前再施。
及夫调气之法，下针至地之后，复人之分。欲气上行，将针右捻，欲气下行，将针左捻。欲补先呼后吸，欲泻先吸后呼。气不至者，以手循摄，以爪切掐，以针摇动，进捻搓弹，直待气至，以龙虎升腾之法，按之在前使气在后，按之在后使气在前，运气走至疼痛之所，以纳气之法，扶针直插，复向下纳，使气不回。若关节阻涩，气不过者，以龙虎龟凤通经接气大段之法，驱而运之，仍以循摄爪切，无不应矣。此通仙之妙。
况夫出针之法，病势既退，针气微松；病未退者，针气如根，推之不动，转之不移，此为邪气吸拔其针，乃真气未至，不可出。出之者，其病即复，再须补泻，停以待之，直候微松，方可出针豆许，摇而停之。补者吸之去疾，其穴急扪；泻者呼之去徐，其穴不闭。欲令腠密，然后吸气；故曰下针贵迟，太急伤血；出针贵缓，太急伤气。以上总要，于其尽矣。
考夫治病之法有八：一曰烧山火，治顽麻冷痹，先浅后深，用九阳而三进三退，慢提紧按，热至紧闭，插针除寒之有准。二曰透天凉，治肌热骨蒸，先深后浅，用六阴而三出三入，紧提慢按，徐徐举针，退热之可凭。皆细细搓之，去病准绳。三曰阳中之阴，先寒后热，浅而深，以九六之法，则先补后泻也。四曰阴中之阳，先热后寒，深而浅，以六九之方，则泻后补也。补者直须热至，泻者务待寒侵，犹如搓线，慢慢转针。法其浅则用浅，法在深则用深，二者不可兼而紊之也。五曰子午捣臼，水蛊膈气，落穴之后，调气均匀，针行上下，九入六出，左右转之，千遭自平。六曰进气之诀，腰背肘膝痛，浑身走注疼，刺九分，行九补，卧针五七吸，待上行。亦可龙虎交战，左捻九而右捻六，是亦住痛之针。七曰留气之诀，痃癖癥瘕，刺七分，用纯阳，然后乃直插针，气来深刺，提针再停。八曰抽添之诀，瘫痪疮癩，取其要穴，使九阳得气，提按搜寻，大要运气周遍。扶针直插，复向下纳，回阳倒阴。指下玄微，胸中活法，一有未应，反复再施。
Hundred Acupuncture Songs and Odes from a Hundred Families
[Revised Edition by Ju Zhuo]
Ode on Hundred Symptoms
Cited in *Zhenjiu Dacheng* (Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) from *Zhenjiu Juying* (Gathering of Acupuncture Elegance).
The acupoints for treating a hundred symptoms require repeated careful study. Xinhui (B16) connects to Yubin (GB15); head wind can be treated with golden needles. Between Xuanlu (GB5) and Heyan (GB7), hemianalgesia is stopped; between Qiangjian (GV19) and Fenglong (ST40), severe headache is controlled. Originally, for facial edema and flaccid swelling, one must rely on Shuigou (GV26) and Qianding (GV20); for deafness and qi obstruction, one relies entirely on Tinghui (GB2) and Yifeng (TE17). If there is a sensation of insects crawling on the face, Yingxiang (LI20) can be taken; if there is cicada-like noise in the ears, Tinghui (GB2) is suitable for treatment. For dizzy eyes, take Zhengzheng (SI7) and Feiyang (BL58); for yellow eyes, take Yanggang (BL67) and Danshu (BL19). For pterygium, attack the area of Xiaozhe (SI1) and Ganshu (BL18); for tearing, prick Linqi (GB14) and Touwei (ST8). When vision is blurred, immediately seek Zanzhu (BL2) and Sanjian (LI3); when eyes feel dim and desolate, urgently take Yanglao (SI5) and Tianzhu (BL10). Observe night blindness as liver qi issue, carefully deduce from Jingming (BL1) and Xingjian (LR2); examine neck stiffness with cold damage, governed by Wenliu (LI37) and Qimen (LR14). Lianquan (CV23) and Zhongchong (PC9) are suitable for swollen and painful tongue; Tianfu (LU3) and Hegu (LI4) directly treat epistaxis. Ermen (TE21) and Sizhukong (TE23) stop toothache instantly; Jiache (ST6) and Dicang (ST4) correct facial paralysis in a moment. For sore throat, Yemen (TE3) and Yuji (LU10) go to treat; for muscle cramps, Jinmen (BL63) and Qiuxu (GB40) come to heal. Yanggu (SI5) and Xiaxi (GB43) jointly treat jaw swelling and lockjaw; Shaoshang (LU11) and Quze (PC3) are applied together for blood deficiency and thirst. Tongtian (BL3) removes the suffering of nasal anosmia; Fuliù (KI7) dispels the sorrow of dry tongue and mouth. Yamén (GV15) and Guanchong (TE1) are critical for flaccid tongue and aphasia; Tianding (TE12) and Jianshi (PC5) should not delay treatment for loss of voice and stuttering. Taichong (LR3) using reducing method quickly heals lip deviation; Chengjiang (CV24) using reducing method immediately alleviates toothache. Neck stiffness with aversion to wind: Sugu (BL65) connects to Tianzhu (BL10); febrile disease with no sweat: Dadu (SP2) connects to Jingqu (LU8).
Just like stubborn numbness in both arms: Shaohai (HT3) approaches Santli (ST36); hemiplegia: Yanglingquan (GB34) reaches far to Quchi (LI11). Jianli (CV11) and Neiguan (PC6) sweep away chest distress; Tinggong (SI19) and Pishu (BL20) dispel heart-region sorrow. It has long been known that for costal pain, Qihu (ST15) and Huagai (RN21) are effective; for borborygmus within the abdomen, Xiawan (CV10) and XianGu (BL65) can calm it. How to treat chest and hypochondriac distension? Zhangmen (LR13) and Burong (ST19) should be sought carefully. Diaphragmatic pain with fluid retention is hard to bear; Danzhong (CV17) and Juque (CV14) are needled. Chest fullness with dysphagia: Zhongfu (LU1) and Yishe (BL48) are traversed; blood stasis retained in the chest and diaphragm: Shenshu (BL23) and Juliao (ST3) are appropriate. Chest fullness and neck stiffness: Shencang (BL44) and Xuanji (CV21) have been tested; back-linked lower back pain: Baihuanxu (BL30) and Weizhong (BL40) have been experienced. For spastic rigidity: Shuidao (ST28) and Jinsuo (GV9); for dizziness: Quanliao (SI18) and Daying (ST5). Spasmodic diseases do not heal without Luxi (EX-HN1); umbilical wind requires Rangu (KI2) for easy awakening. Weiyang (BL39) and Tianchi (PC1): axillary swelling disperses quickly after needling; Houxi (SI3) and Huantiao (GB30): leg pain lightens immediately after needling. Nightmares and restlessness: Lidui (ST45) harmonizes with Yinbai (SP1); manic running and shouting: Shangwan (CV13) rises together with Shenmen (HT7). Palpitations and fright: take Yangjiao (GB35) and JieXi (ST41) without error; opisthotonos and crying: rely on Tianshuong (GB30) and Dahuang (SP15) with precision. Epilepsy commands Shenzhu (GV12) and Benshen (GB13); fever relies on the fluids of Shaochong (HT9) and Quchi (LI11). For seasonal epidemic heat: Taodao (GV13) seeks Feishu (BL13) for regulation; frequent wind epilepsy: Shendao (GV11) returns to Xinxshu (BL15) for peace. Lower Liao (BL31) settles damp-cold and damp-heat; Yongquan (KI1) clears jue-cold and jue-heat. Chills and aversion to cold: Erjian (LI2) unblocks Yinxi (HT6) secretly; vexation and vomiting: Youmen (KI15) opens Bi through Yutang (CV16) clearly. Xingjian (LR2) and Yongquan (KI1) govern kidney exhaustion in polydipsia; Yinlingquan (SP9) and Shuifen (CV9) remove umbilical edema. Phthisis and corpse transmission: follow the path of Pohu (BL42) and Gānghuáng (BL48); sudden evil cholera: seek the route of Yinggu (KI3) and Santli (ST36). To treat jaundice and eliminate yellowness: coordinate Houxi (SI3) and Laogong (PC8) to observe; fatigue and嗜卧 (preference for lying down): go to Tongli (HT5) and Dazhong (KI4) to clarify. Continuous cough: Feishu (BL13) must welcome Tianchu (CV22); red and scanty urination: Duiduan (CV25) alone drains the Taiyang meridian. Pricking Changqiang (GV1) at Chengshan (BL57) effectively treats fresh blood in stool due to intestinal wind; Needling Sanyinjiao (SP6) at Qihai (CV6) specifically manages white turbidity and chronic seminal emission. Just like Huangshu (KI16) and Henggu (KI12): drain long-standing accumulation of five types of strangury; Yinxi (HT6) and Houxi (SI3): treat excessive night sweating. Spleen deficiency with undigested grain: seek Pishu (BL20) and Pangguangshu (BL28); stomach cold with difficult digestion: Hunmen (BL47) and Weishu (BL21) are responsible. Nasal polyps must take Yinjiao (DU27); goiter must seek Fubai (GB12). Dadun (LR1) and Zhaohai (KI6) are good at eliminating cold hernia; Wuli (CH7) and Binnao (SI10) can treat scrofula. Zhiyin (BL67) and Pingyi (EX-HN1): treat many painful itching disorders; Jianyu (LI15) and Yangxi (LI5): eliminate extreme hidden wind heat. Furthermore, discussing women's menstrual irregularities: Dijí (SP8) and Xuehai (SP10) are自有 (naturally available); women with qi deficiency and leakage bleeding: Jiaoxin (SP8) and Heyang (BL57) are indispensable. Leucorrhea and postpartum hemorrhage: Chongmen (SP12) and Qichong (ST30) should be examined; delayed menstruation: Tianshu (ST25) and Shuquan (KI5) should be detailed. Jianjing (GB21) is extremely effective for mastitis; Shangqiu (SP5) is best for hemorrhoids and tumors. Rectal prolapse seeks Bairui (GV1) and Wei Cui (EX-B1); infertility searches Yinjiao (RN7) and Shiguan (RN5). Zhongwan (CV12) governs accumulated dysentery; Waixiu (GB36) searches the large intestine. Cold malaria: Shangyang (LI1) and Taixi (KI3) are verified; xianpi (abdominal masses): Chongmen (SP12) and Xuehai (SP10) are strong.
Medicine is the master of human life, not undertaken by those without ambition; acupuncture is the profound mystery of principles, requiring instruction from perfected individuals. First investigate the disease source, then attack the acupoints; achieve merit with every movement, obtain effect with every needle. Then one knows the mystery within mysteries, and reaches the wonder within wonders. This chapter does not exhaust all, but briefly lists its essentials.
Biao You Fu (Ode on Marking the Profound) from *Zhenjing Zhinan* (Guide to the Needle Classic)
The method of saving lives lies in the wonderful use of needles. Observe the seasons in the heavenly way, determine constitution in one's own heart. In spring and summer, when thin, needle shallow; in autumn and winter, when fat, needle deep. If one does not exhaust the yin-yang of meridians, one often encounters needle prohibitions; having discussed the deficiency and excess of zang-fu organs, one must seek along the meridians. Originally, qi and blood start from the Middle Jiao, where water initially leaks. Taiyin (Lung) begins, ending at Jueyin (Pericardium); acupoints emerge from Yunmen (LU2), reaching Qimen (LR14) last. The twelve regular meridians, collateral vessels walk over three hundred branches; upright, side-lying, and prone positions, qi and blood have over six hundred stations. Hand and foot Yang meridians: hand walks to head, head walks to foot; Hand and foot Yin meridians: foot walks to abdomen, chest walks to hand. To understand Ying-Sui (following and opposing), one must know reverse and smooth; moreover, yin-yang, the amount of qi and blood is most important. Jueyin and Taiyang: little qi, much blood; Taiyin and Shaoyin: little blood, much qi; furthermore, those with much qi and little blood belong to Shaoyang; those with abundant qi and blood belong to Yangming. First detail the suitability of amounts, then observe the arriving qi. Light, slippery, slow means it has not arrived; heavy, choppy, tight means it has arrived. Having arrived, retain or release based on cold/heat; not yet arrived, await qi based on deficiency/excess. The arrival of qi is like a fish swallowing bait, floating and sinking; the non-arrival of qi is like an empty hall, deep and profound. Fast arrival brings fast effect; slow arrival brings no cure. Observing the method of the Nine Needles, the Filiform Needle is the subtlest, corresponding to the Seven Stars, presiding over all acupoints. Its form is Metal, having the way to dispel evil and support righteousness; its length is Water, having the mechanism to resolve stagnation; its insertion resembles Wood, oblique or straight; its mouth compares to Fire, advancing yang and supplementing weakness. Following mechanisms and covering resembles Earth, corresponding to Five Elements and thus known. However, these three cun and six fen contain profound principles; though fine as hair, they connect to many paths. They can balance cold and heat of the five zang organs, regulate deficiency and excess of the six fu organs. Contraction and blockage: dispatch the Eight Evils to depart; cold-heat pain and bi syndrome: open the Four Passes to end it. All needling makes the Original Spirit face inward before insertion; once needled, makes the Original Spirit settled and qi follows. If spirit does not face inward, do not needle; if spirit is settled, apply treatment.
At the place of setting the foot, take qi and blood as the main intent; at the place of starting hands, recognize Water and Wood as the foundation. Heaven, Earth, Man are the Three Realms: Yongquan (KI1) same as Xuanji (CV21) and Bairui (GV20); Upper, Middle, Lower are the Three Sections: Dabao (SP21) with Tianshu (ST25) and Diji (SP8). Yang Qiao, Yang Wei, and Du Meridian govern shoulder, back, waist, leg diseases on the exterior; Yin Qiao, Yin Wei, Ren, Dai, and Chong meridians remove doubts of heart, abdomen, hypochondrium, and ribs on the interior. Two Ling, two Qiao, two Jiao seem continuous and connect to the Five Greats; Two Jian, two Shang, two Jing rely on each other and separate into two branches. Generally, the method of taking acupoints must have precise measurements; first judge by intention, then observe flesh distribution. Or obtain by extension/flexion, or by flat/stable positioning. In Yang parts beside tendons and bones, depression is true; in Yin parts between popliteal fossa, arterial response corresponds. Taking five acupoints, use one acupoint and it must be端正 (correct); taking three meridians, use one meridian and it can be corrected. Head and shoulder detailed separately, Du and Ren meridians easily determined. Clarify root and branch, discuss meridians of deep and shallow needling; stop pain and move ache, take intersecting and penetrating paths. Have you not heard that for zang-fu diseases, seek the subtlety of Men, Hai, Shu, and Mu points; for meridian stagnation, seek the way of Yuan, Bie, intersection, and confluence. Further exhaust the Four Roots and Three Knots, according to root and branch, needling ensures recovery; only use Eight Methods and Five Gates, distinguishing host and guest, needling ensures effect. Eight Extraordinary Vessels always connect to Eight Hui Points, originally the outline; Twelve Meridians and Twelve Yuan-Source points are the pivot. One day needling sixty-six acupoints shows profundity; one hour taking twelve meridian Yuan-Source points reveals essentials. Originally, tonification and reduction methods lie not in respiration but in fingers; rapid effect requires crossing meridians and knowing the original meridian. Crossing meridian and Miao needling: left has disease, take right side; draining collaterals and distant needling: head has disease, needle foot. Ju Ci and Miao Ci differ slightly, micro-needles and wonderful needling communicate. Observe sections to know meridian deficiency/excess, view floating/sinking to distinguish zang-fu cold/warmth. First make the needle bright and worry about damage; next hide in mouth to warm the needle. Eyes do not look outward, hands like holding a tiger; heart has no internal longing, like awaiting a noble person. Left hand heavy and pressing often, to disperse qi; right hand light and entering slowly, causing no pain. Empty stomach fearfulness: standing upright or sideways causes much dizziness; back to eye, sink and press, sitting/lying flat prevents fainting. Pushing on Ten Stems and Ten Changes, know opening/closing of acupoints; discussing Five Elements and Five Zang, observe prosperity/decline of days/times. Lie like a crossbow, respond like releasing a trigger. Yin Jiao and Yang Bie settle blood晕 (vertigo); Yin Qiao and Yin Wei deliver placenta. Bi-jue and hemiplegia: Ying-Sui makes meridians continue; leakage, prolapse, leucorrhea: warm tonification makes qi and blood return. Still and retain long, stop needle to await. The accurate one takes Zhaohai (KI6) to treat throat obstruction; the exact place uses Dazhong (KI4) to treat mental dullness. Generally, pain is excess-reduce, itching/numbness is deficiency-tonify. Heavy body and joint pain reside in Shu points; subcardiac stuffiness is governed by Jing points. Heart distension and throat pain: needle Taichong (LR3) to remove; spleen pain and stomach ache: reduce Gongsun (SP4) to heal. Chest fullness and abdominal pain: pierce Neiguan (PC6); hypochondriac and rib pain: needle Feihu (BL59). Tendon contraction and bone pain: tonify Hunmen (BL47); body heat and劳嗽 (consumptive cough): reduce Pohu (BL42). Head wind and headache: pierce Shenmai (BL62) and Jinmen (BL63); itchy/painful eyes: reduce Guangming (GB37) and Diwu (BL64). Reduce Yinxi (HT6) to stop night sweats, treat pediatric bone-steaming fever; pierce Pianli (SI8) to promote urination, treat adult hydroperitoneum. Stroke: Huantiao (GB30) is suitable for needling; deficiency/damage: Tianshu (ST25) can be taken. Thus, before noon until Mao hour, Taiyin generates and warms quickly; Li left and You south, moon dies and new moon, cool quickly. Follow, rub, pluck, anger, retain inhalation mother to firm and lengthen; nail down extend lift, quick exhalation son to shorten. Move retreat empty rest, meet seize right to reduce cool; push insert advance rub, follow assist left to warm. Beware of major critical diseases, color and pulse inconsistent, do not needle; cold, heat, wind, yin, hunger, fullness, drunkenness, labor, strictly avoid. Full moon do not tonify, dark moon do not reduce; waxing do not seize, new moon do not assist. Refine mind and exhaust methods, do not let moxa burn skin; correct principle and seek origin, avoid inserting needle losing position. Avoid moxa areas adding four limbs, forty-nine; prohibit needling areas excluding six shu, twenty-two. Furthermore, hear High Emperor held illness not cured, Li family pierced Juque (CV14) and revived; Crown Prince sudden death as jue, Yue Ren needled Weizhong (BL40) and woke up. Jianjing (GB21), Quchi (LI11): Zhen Quan pierced arm pain and shot again; Xuanzhong (GB39), Huantiao (GB30): Hua Tuo pierced lame foot and walked immediately. Qiufu needled Yaoshu (GV19), ghost avoided deep disease; Wang Zuan needled Jiaoshu (GV8), demon spirit stood out. Piercing Ganshu (BL18) and Mingmen (GV4), makes blind man see autumn hair tip; taking Shaoyang and Jiaobie (GB34), makes deaf man hear summer mosquito sound.
Alas! Distance from sages grows far, this way gradually falls. Some do not grasp essence and scatter their learning, some expand ability but violate prohibitions. Foolish and mediocre, shallow will, hard to match profound words; ultimate Dao is profound, how many obtain it? Occasionally stating these words, dare not show to enlightened ones, perhaps enlightening child's mind.

From Xu Shi's *Zhenjiu Daquan* (Complete Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion).
Heavenly star secrets are known by few, this method specifically divides front and back application.

Jinzhen Fu (Ode on Golden Needles) from Ziqi Fenggu Feijing Zouqi Cuoyao
From Xu Shi's *Zhenjiu Daquan*.
Observing the needle way, swift methods are most strange. Must understand tonification/reduction, then can rise from peril. First divide disease upper/lower, then fix acupoint height/head. Head has disease take foot, left has disease take right. Men's qi early upper late lower, taking it must understand principle; Women's qi early lower late upper, using it must know time. Before noon is early belongs Yang, after noon is late belongs Yin. Men/women upper/lower, rely on waist to divide. Hand/Foot Yang meridians: hand walks head, head walks foot; Hand/Foot Yin meridians: foot walks abdomen, chest walks hand. Yin rises Yang descends, exit/enter mechanism. Opposing them: reduce/oppose; following them: tonify/follow. Spring/summer needle shallow because thin, autumn/winter needle deep because fat. Further observe yuan qi thickness/shallowness; shallow/deep needling especially suitable.
Originally tonification/reduction method, wonder lies in respiration and fingers. Men: thumb advances forward left turn, exhale is tonify, retreats backward right turn, inhale is reduce, lift needle is heat, insert needle is cold; Women: thumb retreats backward right turn inhale is tonify, advances forward left turn exhale is reduce, insert needle is heat, lift needle is cold. Left/right differs, chest/back different. Before noon thus, after noon reverses. Therefore claw and cut, inserting needle method; shake and retreat, withdrawing needle method; move and advance, urging needle method; follow and press, moving qi method. Rubbing removes disease, plucking tonifies deficiency. Abdomen rotating, rubbing closes acupoint. Heavy sink bean-sized is press, light float bean-sized is lift. Fourteen methods, needle essentials prepared. Tonify: one retreat three fly, true qi returns; Reduce: one fly three retreat, evil qi avoids. Tonify tonifies deficiency, reduce reduces excess. Excess is swelling/pain, called excess; deficiency is itching/numbness, called deficiency. Qi fast effect fast, qi slow effect slow. Death/life noble/base, under needle all know. Base hard, noble brittle; living rough, dead void. Await not arrive, surely die without doubt.
Furthermore inserting needle method: first must claw press, heavy and cut, then let cough once, follow cough insert needle. All tonify exhale, first needle to skin inside, called Heaven Talent; pause slightly advance needle, to flesh inside, called Human Talent; pause again advance needle, to tendon/bone between, called Earth Talent, this is extreme place, should tonify. Pause long while, must retreat needle to Human division, await qi sink tight, invert needle facing disease. Advance/retreat come/go, fly meridian move qi, all within. All reduce inhale, first needle to Heaven, pause slightly advance needle, straight to Earth, get qi reduce. Pause long while, must retreat needle, back to Human, await qi sink tight, invert needle facing disease, method same as before. If fainting needle, spirit qi void, with needle tonify, with sleeve cover, mouth/nose qi returns, hot soup give. Pause slightly, according to previous again apply.
And adjusting qi method: insert needle to Earth after, back to Human division. Want qi ascend, rotate needle right; want qi descend, rotate needle left. Want tonify first exhale then inhale, want reduce first inhale then exhale. Qi not arrive, with hand follow/press, with claw cut/press, with needle shake, advance/rotate/rub/pluck, straight wait qi arrive, with Dragon/Tiger ascending method, press front make qi back, press back make qi front, move qi walk to pain place, with accept qi method, hold needle straight insert, again downward accept, make qi not return. If joint obstructed涩 (sticky), qi not pass, with Dragon/Turtle/Green Phoenix connecting meridian accepting qi grand section method, drive and move it, still with follow/press/claw/cut, none not respond. This is Tongxian wonder.
Moreover withdrawing needle method: disease trend retreated, needle qi slightly loose; disease not retreated, needle qi like root, push not move, turn not shift, this is evil qi sucking needle, true qi not arrived, cannot withdraw. Withdraw it, disease returns, again need tonify/reduce, stop to await it, straight wait slightly loose, can withdraw needle bean-sized, shake and stop. Tonify inhale go fast, acupoint urgent rub; reduce exhale go slow, acupoint not close. Want pores dense, then inhale; therefore say insert needle precious slow, too fast injures blood; withdraw needle precious slow, too fast injures qi. Above general summary, in it exhausted.
Examining treating disease methods have eight: One says Burning Mountain Fire, treat stubborn numbness cold-bi, first shallow then deep, use nine yang and three advance three retreat, slow lift tight press, heat arrives close tightly, insert needle remove cold has standard. Two says Penetrating Heaven Cool, treat muscle heat bone steaming, first deep then shallow, use six yin and three exit three enter, tight lift slow press, slowly raise needle, retreat heat can rely. All finely rub it, remove disease standard rope. Three says Yin within Yang, first cold then heat, shallow then deep, with nine-six method, then first tonify then reduce. Four says Yang within Yin, first heat then cold, deep then shallow, with six-nine formula, then reduce then tonify. Tonify straight must heat arrive, reduce must wait cold invade, like rubbing thread, slowly rotate needle. Method shallow use shallow, method deep use deep, two cannot combine and confuse. Five says Zi-Wu Pestle, water蛊 (ascites) diaphragm qi, drop acupoint after, adjust qi even, needle walk up/down, nine enter six exit, left/right rotate it, thousand times self level. Six says Enter Qi Secret, waist/back elbow/knee pain, whole body wandering pain, pierce nine fen, perform nine tonify, lie needle five-seven inhales, wait ascend. Also can Dragon/Tiger battle, left rotate nine right rotate six, is also stop pain needle. Seven says Retain Qi Secret, xianpi masses, pierce seven fen, use pure yang, then straight insert needle, qi come deep pierce, lift needle pause again. Eight says Draw/Add Secret, paralysis sores/scabies, take essential acupoint, make nine yang get qi, lift/press search, mainly move qi circulate. Hold needle straight insert, again downward accept, return yang invert yin. Finger below profound subtle, chest inside active method, one has not respond, repeat again apply.
