若夫过关过节,催运气血,以飞经走气,其法有四:一曰青龙摆尾,如扶舡舵,不进不退,一左一右,慢慢拨动。二曰白虎摇头,似手摇铃,退方进员,兼之左右,摇而振之。三曰苍龟探穴,如入土之象,一退三进,钻剔四方。四曰赤凤迎源,展翅之仪,入针至地,提针至天,候针自摇,复进其元,上下左右,四围飞旋。病在上吸而退之,病在下呼而进之。
至夫久患偏枯,通经接气之法有定息寸数。手足三阳,上九而下十四,过经四寸;手足三阴,上七而下十二,过经五寸。在乎摇动出纳,呼吸同法,驱运气血,顷刻周流,上下通接,可使寒者暖而热者凉,痛者止而胀者消,若开渠之决水,立时见功,何倾危之不起哉?虽然病有三因,皆从气血。针分八法,不离阴阳。盖经络昼夜之循环,呼吸往来之不息。和则身体康健,否则疾病竞生,譬如天下国家地方,山海田园,江河溪谷,值岁时风雨均调,则水道疏利,民安物阜。其或一方一所,风雨不均,遭以旱涝,使水道涌竭不同,灾伤遂至。人之气血,受病三因,亦犹方所之于旱涝也。盖针砭所以通经脉,均气血,蠲邪扶正,故曰捷法最奇者哉。
嗟夫!轩岐古远,卢扁久亡,此道幽深,非一言而可尽。斯文细密,在久习而能通。岂世上之常辞,庸流之泛术,得之者若科之及第,而悦于心。用之者如射之发中,而应于目,述自先贤,传之后学,用针之士,有志于斯。果能洞造玄微,而尽其精妙,则世之伏枕之疴,有缘者遇针到病除,随手而愈。

《针经指南》
望闻问切,推明得病之原;补泻迎随,揭示用针之要。予于是学,自古迄今,虽常覃思以研精,竟未钩玄而索隐。俄经传之暇日,承外舅之训言,云及世纷,续推兵扰。其人也,神无依而心无定;可病之,精必夺而气必衰。兼方国以乱而隔殊,医物绝商而那得。设方有效,历市无求。不若砭功,立排疾势。既已受教,遂敏求师,前后仅十七年,无一二真个辈。后避屯于蔡邑,方获诀于李君,斯人以针道救疾也,除疼痛于目前,愈瘵疾于指下。信所谓伏如横弩,应若发机,万举万全,百发百中者也。加以好生之念,素无窃利之心。尝谓予曰:天宝不付于非仁,圣道须传于贤者。仆不自揆,遂仲有求之恳,获垂无吝之诚。授穴之所秘者,四十有三;疗疾而弗瘳者,万千无一。遂铭诸心,而著之髓,务拯其困,而扶其危。而后除疼痛迅若手拈,破结聚涣如冰释。夫针者也,果神矣哉!然念兹穴俞而或忘,借其声律则易记。辄裁八韵,赋就一篇。讵敢匿于己私,庶共传于同志。壬辰重九前二日谨题。
必欲治病,莫如用针,巧运神机之妙,工开圣理之深。外取砭针,能蠲邪而扶正,中含水火,善回阳而倒阴。原夫络别支殊,经交错综,或沟池溪谷以歧异,或山海丘陵而隙共。斯流派以难揆,在条纲而有统。理繁而昧,纵补泻以何功;法捷而明,曰迎随而得用。 且如行步难移,太冲最奇。人中除脊膂之强痛,神门去心性之呆痴。风伤项急,始求于风府;头晕目眩,要觅于风池。耳闭须听会而治也,眼痛则合谷以推之。胸结身黄,取涌泉而即可;脑昏目赤,泻攒竹以偏宜。
但见苦两肘之拘挛,仗曲池而平扫。牙齿痛吕细堪治,头项强承浆可保。太白宣导于气冲,阴陵开通于水道。腹膨而胀,夺内庭以休迟;筋转而疼,泻承山而在早。
大抵脚腕痛,昆仑解愈;股膝痛,阴市能医。癇发癲狂兮,凭后溪而疗理;疟生寒热兮,仗閒使以扶持。期门罢胸满血膨而可以,劳宮退胃翻心痛以何疑。稽夫大敦去七疝之偏疼,王公谓此;三里却五劳之羸瘦,华佗言斯。
固知腕骨祛黄,然骨泻肾。行间治膝肿目疾,尺泽去肘疼筋紧。目昏不见,二间宜取;鼻室无闻,迎香可引。肩井除两髀难任,攒竹疗头疼不忍。咳嗽寒痰,列缺堪治;眵蔑冷泪,临泣尤准。髋骨将腿痛以祛残,肾俞把腰疼而泻尽。以见越人治尸厥于维会,随手而苏;文伯泻死胎于阴交,应针而殒。
圣人于是察麻与痛,分实与虚,实则自外而入也,虚则自内而出欤。以故济母而裨其不足,夺子而平其有余。观二十七之经络,一一明辨;据四百四之疾证,件件皆除。故得夭枉都无,跻斯民于寿域,几微已判,彰往古之玄书。 抑又闻心胸病,求掌后之大陵;肩背患,责肘前之三里。冷痹肾败;取足阳明之土;连脐腹痛,泻足少阴之水。脊间心后者,针中渚而立痊;胁下肋边者,刺阳陵则即止。头项痛,拟后溪以安然;腰脚疼,在委中而已矣。夫用针之士,于此理苟明者焉,收祛邪之功而在乎捻指。

至于针法中通过关节、穴位以催动气血运行,达到“飞经走气”的效果,共有四种手法:第一种叫青龙摆尾,就像扶船舵一样,不前进也不后退,一左一右,慢慢地拨动。第二种叫白虎摇头,像手摇铃铛一样,退时方进时圆,兼带左右摇晃振动。第三种叫苍龟探穴,如同入土之象,一退三进,向四方钻剔。第四种叫赤凤迎源,展翅的姿态,进针至地部,提针至天部,等待针体自行摇动,再回到原处,上下左右,在四周飞旋。病在上部的,吸气时退针;病在下部的,呼气时进针。
至于长期患有偏瘫(半身不遂)的情况,通经接气的针刺深度有固定的寸数标准。手足三阳经,上部刺九分,下部刺一寸四分,超过经脉界限四寸;手足三阴经,上部刺七分,下部刺一寸二分,超过经脉界限五寸。关键在于摇动和出纳(进出)的手法,配合呼吸同法,驱运气血,顷刻间周流全身,上下贯通连接,可以使寒者变暖、热者变凉,痛者止痛、胀者消胀,就像开渠决水一样,立刻见效,哪有治不好的危重病症呢?虽然疾病有三因(内因、外因、不内外因),但都源于气血。针刺分为八法,不离阴阳。经络昼夜循环不息,呼吸往来不止。调和则身体健康,不调和则疾病丛生,譬如天下国家的地方,山海田园,江河溪谷,遇到岁时风雨均匀调和,则水道疏通顺利,百姓安宁,物产丰富。如果某一地方,风雨不均,遭受旱涝灾害,使水道涌竭不同,灾伤就会到来。人的气血受病于三因,也如同地方遭遇旱涝一样。所以针砭的作用在于通经脉,均气血,祛除邪气扶助正气,所以说这是最奇妙快捷的方法啊。
唉!黄帝岐伯的古道久远,卢医扁鹊早已去世,这门学问幽深微妙,不是几句话能说完的。这篇文字细致严密,需要长期学习才能精通。这不是世俗的常辞,也不是平庸之辈的泛泛之术,得到它的人就像科举及第一样,心里喜悦。使用它的人就像射箭命中靶心一样,眼睛看到效果。叙述自先贤,传授给后学,凡是用针之士,有志于此道。如果能深入探究玄妙精微之处,穷尽其精妙,那么世间卧床不起的疾病,有缘人遇到针到病除,随手而愈。

望闻问切,推究明白得病的根源;补泻迎随,揭示用针的要领。我于是学习,从古至今,虽然常常深思以研究精深,终究未能钩取玄奥索求隐微。不久经过传经的闲暇日子,承受岳父的训言,谈及世纷战乱,延续兵祸骚扰。那人精神无依内心不定;可以治病,精气必夺气必衰。加上方国混乱阻隔殊异,医药断绝商人难觅。即使处方有效,遍市场也无求购。不如砭石之功,立即排除疾势。既然已接受教诲,于是敏捷寻求老师,前后仅十七年,没有一二个真正的高手。后来避乱屯驻于蔡邑,才从李君那里获得诀窍,这个人用针道救治疾病,消除眼前的疼痛,手指下治愈痨病。确实是所谓伏如横弩,应若发机,万举万全,百发百中的人。加上他有好生之念,平素没有窃取利益之心。曾经对我说:天宝不付给不仁之人,圣道必须传给贤者。我不自量力,于是诚恳请求,获得他不吝啬的真诚传授。传授穴位秘术四十三个;治疗疾病而不痊愈的,万千无一。于是铭记在心,著之于骨髓,务必拯救其困苦,扶持其危难。而后消除疼痛迅如手拈,破除结聚涣散如冰释。这针法,果然神奇啊!然而想到这些穴位或许会忘记,借助声律则容易记忆。于是裁成八韵,赋就一篇。怎敢藏于己私,希望共传给志同道合者。壬辰年重九前二日谨题。
一定要治病,不如用针,巧妙运用神机之妙,工匠开启圣理之深。外取砭针,能祛除邪气扶助正气,内含水火,善于回阳倒阴。原来络脉分支特殊,经脉交错综合,有的像沟池溪谷那样歧异,有的像山海丘陵那样间隙共同存在。这种流派难以揣度,在条纲上有统绪。理繁而昏昧,纵然补泻有什么功效;法捷而明了,说迎随就能得到应用。 况且如行走困难,太冲穴最奇特。人中穴解除脊背强痛,神门穴去除心性呆痴。风伤项急,开始求于风府穴;头晕目眩,要寻觅风池穴。耳闭须听会穴治疗,眼痛则合谷穴推动它。胸结身黄,取涌泉穴即可;脑昏目赤,泻攒竹穴偏适宜。
只见苦于两肘拘挛,仗曲池穴平扫。牙齿痛吕细(太溪)可治,头项强承浆穴可保。太白穴宣导于气冲,阴陵泉开通于水道。腹膨而胀,夺内庭穴勿迟疑;筋转而疼,泻承山穴在早。
大抵脚腕痛,昆仑穴解愈;股膝痛,阴市穴能医。癫痫发作,凭后溪穴疗理;疟疾生寒热,仗间使穴扶持。期门穴罢胸满血膨而可以,劳宫穴退胃翻心痛有何疑。考察大敦穴去七疝之偏疼,王公这样说;三里穴却五劳之羸瘦,华佗这样说。
固知腕骨穴祛黄,然骨穴泻肾。行间穴治膝肿目疾,尺泽穴去肘疼筋紧。目昏不见,二间穴宜取;鼻室无闻,迎香穴可引。肩井穴除两髀难任,攒竹穴疗头疼不忍。咳嗽寒痰,列缺穴堪治;眵蔑冷泪,临泣穴尤准。髋骨将腿痛以祛残,肾俞把腰疼而泻尽。以此见越人治尸厥于维会穴,随手而苏;文伯泻死胎于阴交穴,应针而殒。
圣人于是察麻与痛,分实与虚,实则是从外而入,虚则是从内而出吗。因此济母而裨其不足,夺子而平其有余。观察二十七条经络,一一明辨;依据四百四病证,件件皆除。故得夭折枉死都没有,跻斯民于寿域,几微已判,彰往古之玄书。 又听说心胸病,求掌后之大陵穴;肩背患,责肘前之三里穴。冷痹肾败,取足阳明之土(穴);连脐腹痛,泻足少阴之水(穴)。脊间心后者,针中渚穴而立痊;胁下肋边者,刺阳陵泉则即止。头项痛,拟后溪穴以安然;腰脚疼,在委中穴而已矣。凡是用针之士,对此理如果明白的话,收祛邪之功就在乎捻指之间。

Regarding the methods of passing through joints and acupoints to urge the movement of Qi and Blood, achieving "Flying Jing and Moving Qi," there are four techniques: The first is called Qinglong Baiwei (Green Dragon Wags Tail), like steering a boat's rudder, neither advancing nor retreating, moving slowly left and right. The second is called Baihu Yaotou (White Tiger Shakes Head), like shaking a hand bell, retreating square and advancing round, combined with left and right shaking and vibrating. The third is called Canggui Tanxue (Grey Turtle Explores the Hole), like the image of entering the earth, one retreat and three advances, drilling and scraping in four directions. The fourth is called Chifeng Yingyuan (Red Phoenix Welcomes the Source), the posture of spreading wings, inserting the needle to the Earth level, lifting it to the Heaven level, waiting for the needle to shake naturally, then returning to its origin, rotating up, down, left, and right around the perimeter. For diseases in the upper part, withdraw the needle during inhalation; for diseases in the lower part, insert the needle during exhalation.
As for long-term hemiplegia, the method of connecting meridians and Qi has fixed cun measurements. The Six Yang Meridians of Hand and Foot: nine fen above, fourteen fen below, exceeding the meridian boundary by four cun; the Six Yin Meridians of Hand and Foot: seven fen above, twelve fen below, exceeding the meridian boundary by five cun. It lies in the manipulation of shaking and insertion/extraction, following the same method as respiration, driving Qi and Blood to circulate throughout the body in an instant, connecting up and down, making the cold warm and the hot cool, stopping pain and eliminating distension, just like opening a canal to release water, seeing results immediately. How can critical illnesses not be cured? Although diseases have three causes (internal, external, and non-internal/external), they all stem from Qi and Blood. Needle techniques are divided into eight methods, inseparable from Yin and Yang. The meridians circulate day and night without ceasing, and respiration comes and goes without end. When harmonious, the body is healthy; otherwise, diseases arise. It is like regions within a country: mountains, seas, fields, rivers, and valleys. If wind and rain are evenly distributed according to the seasons, waterways are smooth, people are peaceful, and goods are abundant. If wind and rain are uneven in a specific place, suffering drought or flood, causing waterways to surge or dry up differently, disasters will occur. Human Qi and Blood, affected by the three causes, are also like places suffering from drought or flood. Therefore, acupuncture and moxibustion serve to unblock meridians, balance Qi and Blood, dispel evil, and support righteousness. Thus it is said that this is the most miraculous and rapid method.
Alas! The ancient ways of Huangdi and Qibo are distant, and Lu Bianjiu has long passed away. This path is profound and subtle, cannot be exhausted in a few words. This text is detailed and meticulous, requiring long-term practice to master. It is not common worldly talk, nor a superficial skill of mediocre practitioners. Those who obtain it feel joy as if passing the imperial examination. Those who use it achieve success as if hitting the bullseye in archery, responding visibly. Narrated by sages past, transmitted to future learners, those who wish to practice acupuncture should strive for this. If one can thoroughly understand the profound mysteries and exhaust its essence, then for those bedridden patients, when the destined person meets the needle, illness is removed instantly, healing follows the hand.
Lingguang Fu (Ode to Spiritual Light)
The acupuncture and moxibustion secrets of Huangdi and Qibo are clearly stated in the classics.
The Twelve Regular Meridians of Three Yin and Three Yang, plus the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.
The annotations of Lingguang are extremely profound; for lateral and frontal headaches, reduce Lieque (LU7).
Jingming (BL1) treats pterygium; Tinghui (GB2) treats deafness and Qi stagnation.
For nasal bleeding, needle Heliao (SI18); for nasal congestion and loss of smell, seek Yingxiang (LI20).
To treat rising Qi obstruction, use Zusanli (ST36); Tiantu (CV22) and Wanzhong (CV15) treat asthma and phlegm.
For heart pain and hand tremors, needle Shaohai (HT3); Xiaozé (SI1) removes cold under the heart.
For spasms in both legs, seek Yingshi (ST32); Weizhong (BL40) soothes five types of back pain.
If Shushu (BL20) is ineffective, reduce Qiuxu (GB37); Fuliú (KI7) treats edema like a divine physician.
Dubi (ST35) treats wind-pathogen and phlegm; Kunlun (BL60) stops asthma and leg pain.
For heel pain, seek Pucan (BL61); Chengshan (BL57) treats muscle cramps and chronic hemorrhoids.
Below the sole, find Yongquan (KI1); this method is worth a thousand gold, do not transmit recklessly.
This point treats many women's diseases; male gu-poison and female pregnancy ailments are both cured.
Baihui (DU20) and Jiūwěi (CV15) treat dysentery; Dachangshu (BL25) and Xiaochangshu (BL27) regulate bowel movements.
Qihai (CV6) and Xuehai (SP10) treat five stranguries; Zhongwan (CV12) and Xiawan (CV10) treat abdominal hardness.
For shanghan after the meridian cycle, Qimen (LR14) should be used; for Qi stabbing both breasts, seek Taiyuan (LU9).
Dayuan (LR14) two points govern lateral hernia; Shuigou (DU26) and Jianshi (PC5) treat evil mania.
For hemoptysis and asthma, tonify Chize (LU5); Dicang (ST4) stops drooling.
Laogong (PC8) treats physical fatigue; Edema is calmed by moxa on Shuifen (CV9).
For inability to extend fingers, take Zhongzhu (TE3); Jiache (ST6) needles cure toothache.
Yinqiao and Yangqiao are at the ankles; for foot qi, first seek four points.
Yinlingquan (SP9) and Yanglingquan (GB34) also govern it, along with Yinqiao, Yangqiao, and Zusanli.
These points generally treat foot qi; the mystery in the waist must be located correctly.
Gaohuang (BL43) does more than treat hundred diseases; if moxa is applied precisely, the illness must heal.
Acupuncture at one point eliminates disease; scholars should be especially careful.
Understanding the Ming Shi flow and injection method, for head and eye diseases, needle the limbs.
Needle techniques have clear tonification and reduction, coordinated with respiration; acupoints correspond to Five Elements and follow Four Seasons.
Understanding the creation within the human body, this song remains a tool for guidance.
Liuzhu Tongxuan Zhiyao Fu (Ode to the Essential Points of Flowing Injection and Profound Mystery)
From *Zhenjing Zhinan*
Observation, listening/smelling, inquiry, and palpation deduce the origin of disease; tonification, reduction,迎着 (welcoming), and following (succeeding) reveal the essentials of needling. I studied this from ancient times to now; though often pondering deeply, I failed to grasp the profound mysteries. During leisure from transmitting classics, receiving instructions from my father-in-law, discussing worldly turmoil and war. That person had no spiritual anchor and unsettled mind; illness could be treated, but essence would be lost and Qi would decline. With chaotic states and separated regions, medical supplies were cut off and merchants scarce. Even if prescriptions were effective, markets offered nothing. Better to use stone therapy to immediately resolve illness. Having accepted teaching, I sought teachers diligently. In seventeen years, hardly found one true master. Later, taking refuge in Caiyi, I finally received secrets from Master Li. This person saved lives with needle Dao, removing pain before eyes and curing tuberculosis under fingers. Truly as described: poised like a crossbow, striking like releasing a trigger, ten thousand successes, hundred hits. Adding a compassionate mind and no greed for profit. He once told me: Heavenly treasures are not given to the unrighteous; the Sage Way must be passed to the worthy. Presuming myself unworthy, I earnestly requested, receiving his generous sincerity. He taught forty-three secret points; among thousands of treatments, none failed. I engraved them in my heart and marrow, aiming to save the distressed and support the critical. Thereafter, removing pain was swift as picking with hands, breaking accumulations scattered like melting ice. Ah, how divine is this needle! But fearing these acupoints might be forgotten, using rhyme makes them easy to remember. Thus composed eight rhymes, one ode. Dare not hide privately, hoping to share with comrades. Written respectfully two days before Double Ninth in Renchen year.
To cure disease, nothing beats acupuncture, skillfully operating the divine mechanism, artisans opening deep sage principles. Externally using bian needles, it can dispel evil and support righteousness; internally containing Water and Fire, it excels at restoring Yang and reversing Yin. Originally, collaterals branch uniquely, meridians interweave, some like ditches, pools, streams, and valleys differing, others like mountains, seas, hills, and ridges sharing gaps. These schools are hard to measure, yet unified in guidelines. If principles are complex and obscure, even with tonification/reduction, what merit? If methods are swift and clear, welcoming and following are applied. For example, difficulty walking, Taichong (LR3) is most unique. Renzhong (DU26) removes spine stiffness and pain; Shenmen (HT7) clears mental dullness. Wind injuring neck stiffness, start seeking Fengfu (DU16); dizziness and blurred vision, look for Fengchi (GB20). Ear blockage requires Tinghui (GB20); eye pain pushes with Hegu (LI4). Chest knot and yellow complexion, take Yongquan (KI1); brain dizziness and red eyes, reduce Cuanzhu (BL2).
Seeing bitter spasms in both elbows, rely on Quchi (LI11) to sweep flat. Toothache, Luxi (Taixi KI3) can treat; head and neck stiffness, Chengjiang (CV24) protects. Taibai (SP3) guides to Qichong (ST30); Yinlingquan (SP9) opens Shuidao (ST28). Abdominal distension, seize Neiting (ST44) without delay; muscle cramps and pain, reduce Chengshan (BL57) early.
Generally, ankle pain, Kunlun (BL60) resolves; thigh and knee pain, Yingshi (ST32) heals. Epilepsy and mania, rely on Houxi (SI3) for treatment; malaria with chills and fever, rely on Jianshi (PC5) for support. Qimen (LR14) stops chest fullness and blood distension; Laogong (PC8) retreats stomach reversal and heart pain. Examining Dayuan (LR14) removes lateral pain of seven hernias, as Master Wang said; Zusanli (ST36) overcomes wasting-thirst emaciation, as Hua Tuo stated.
Knowing Wangu (SI4) dispels jaundice, Ran Gu (KI2) reduces Kidney. Xingjian (LR2) treats knee swelling and eye diseases; Chize (LU5) removes elbow pain and tight tendons. Blurred vision, Erjian (LI2) is suitable; nasal congestion, Yingxiang (LI20) guides. Jianjing (GB21) removes burden of thighs; Cuanzhu (BL2) treats unbearable headache. Cough with cold phlegm, Lieque (LU7) treats; eye discharge and cold tears, Linqi (GB15) is accurate. Huagu (GB30) removes leg pain remnants; Shenshu (BL23) drains lower back pain. Seeing Yuèrén treat corpse-jue at Weihuai (Renmai intersection), reviving instantly; Wenbo delivering dead fetus at Yinjiao (CV7), dying upon needling.
Sages observe numbness and pain, distinguishing excess and deficiency. Excess enters from outside; deficiency exits from inside. Therefore, nourishing Mother benefits insufficiency; draining Son balances surplus. Observing twenty-seven meridians, distinguishing each clearly; based on four-hundred-four diseases, removing every item. Thus avoiding premature death, bringing people to longevity, judging subtle signs, revealing ancient mysterious texts. Also heard: Heart and chest diseases, seek Daling (PC7) behind palm; shoulder and back ailments, demand Zusanli (ST36) before elbow. Cold bi and Kidney failure, take Earth point of Foot-Yangming; umbilical-collared abdominal pain, drain Water point of Foot-Shaoyin. Pain between spine and heart, needle Zhongzhu (TE3) for immediate recovery; pain under ribs and sides, puncture Yanglingquan (GB34) to stop immediately. Head and neck pain, plan Houxi (SI3) for peace; waist and leg pain, rely on Weizhong (BL40). Practitioners who understand this principle, achieving evil-dispelling power lies in finger-twisting.
Qianjin Shiyi Xue Ge (Song of Eleven Thousand Gold Points)
From Xu's *Zhenjiu Daquan*
Zusanli and Neiting, wonderful secret for abdomen and stomach.
Quchi and Hegu, clear head and face diseases.
Waist and back pain connected, Weizhong and Kunlun points.
Chest and neck pain, Houxi and Lieque together.
Huantiao and Yanglingquan, knees front plus armpits and flanks.
Tonify by retaining long; reduce by draining freely.
Three hundred sixty named points, eleven Thousand Gold points.
Shengyu Ge (Song of Winning Jade)
From Yang's *Zhenjiu Dacheng*
Shengyu Ge speaks no falsehood, this is Yang family's true secret transmission,
Either needle or moxa follow laws, tonification/reduction welcoming/following twist with hand.
Headache and vertigo, Baihui is good; heart pain and spleen pain, Shangwan first.
Houxi, Jiūwěi, and Shenmen, treating five epilepsies instantly recover.
Jiūwěi forbidden for moxa, needle three fen, family tradition moxa seven burns.

Needle one and half cun, do not stop. Classics forbid moxa, family tradition moxa seven burns.
Cold stomach Xiawan is good; eye diseases seek Qinglengyuan.
Colic, heart pain, vomiting phlegm, Juque applying moxa brings peace.
Spleen pain and back pain reduce Zhongzhu; head wind and eye pain, Shangxing specializes.
Head and neck stiffness Chengjiang protects; jaw and cheek pain Daying fully treats.
Xingjian treats knee swelling; Chize cures tendon spasms.
If walking is difficult, Zhongfeng and Taichong needle recovers.
Foot back pain pierce Shangqiu; scrofula near Shaohai Tianjing.
Tendon pain and closure Zhigou point; jaw swelling and throat closure Shaoshang front.
Spleen-heart pain urgency seek Gongsun; Weizhong drives leg wind entanglement.
Reduce Renzhong and Jiache, treating stroke mouth foaming.
Five malarial fevers, more cold than heat, Jianshi and Dazhu truly wonderful points.
Chronic cases become consumptive, fullness beside umbilicus Zhangmen decides.
Choking, acid regurgitation, food refusal, Danzhong seven burns remove diaphragm heat.
Inner eye red pain frowning, Sizhukong and Cuanzhu also treat.
If phlegm and cough, treatment must moxa Feishu.
Moreover Tiantu and Jinsuo, children's croup naturally disperses.
Both hands sore hard to hold objects, Quchi, Hegu, and Jianyu together.
Arm pain and back pain needle Zusanli; head wind headache moxa Fengchi.
Bowel sounds and diarrhea, moxa Tianshu two cun beside umbilicus.
Various Qi disorders, treat with Qihai needle or moxa.
Small intestine Qi pain Guilai treats; lower back pain Kongzhong point is most miraculous.
Kongzhong point, measure three cun down from Shenshu, open three cun each side is the point, moxa fourteen burns, needle outwards one and half cun, this is Zhongliao of Bladder Meridian.
Thighs turning sour hard to move steps, wonderful point told to later generations.
Huantiao, Fengshi, and Yingshi, reducing golden needle disease self-removes.
Yingshi although says forbidden moxa, family tradition also moxa seven burns.
Hot sores inside calf yearly appear, Xuehai seek to treat them.
Both knees suddenly swell like buckets, Xiyan and Zusanli moxa should apply.
