〔崔氏四花六穴〕
凡男妇五劳七伤，气血虚损，骨蒸潮热，咳嗽痰喘，五心烦热，四肢困倦，羸弱等证，并皆治之。
第一次先取二穴，令患人平身正立，取一细绳约长三四尺者，蜡之勿令伸缩，乃以绳头
与男左女右足大拇指端比齐，令其顺脚心，至后跟踏定，却引绳向后，从足跟足肚贴肉直
上，比至膝湾曲 中大横文截断，次令病者平身正坐，解发分顶，中露头缝，取所比蜡绳，一
头齐鼻端按定，引绳向上，循头缝项背，贴肉垂下至绳头尽处，以墨记之。（此非灸穴。）别又取
一小绳，令患者合口，将绳双折，自鼻柱根按定，左右分开，比至两口角加人字样截断，却将
此绳展直取中，横加于前记脊背中墨点之上，其两边绳头尽处，以墨记之，此第一次应灸二穴，名曰患门。
上法若妇人足小者，难以为则，当取右臂自肩 穴起，以墨点记，伸手引绳向下，比至
中指端截断，以代量足之法，庶乎得宜。
第二次取二穴，令患人平身正坐，稍缩臂膊，取一蜡绳绕项后向前双垂头与鸠尾尖齐，
双头一齐截断，却翻绳头向后，将此绳中折处正按结喉上，其绳头下垂脊间处，以墨记之。
（此非灸穴。）又取一小绳，令患人合口，横量齐两吻截断，还加于脊上墨点处，横量如前法，于
两头尽处点记之，此是第二次应灸两穴，即四花之左右二穴也。
前共四穴，同时灸之，初灸七壮，或二七、三七壮，以至百壮为妙。俟灸疮将瘥，或火疮
发时，又根据后法灸二穴。
后次取二穴，以第二次量口吻短绳，于第二次脊间墨点处，对中直放，务令上下相停，
于绳头尽处以墨记之，此是灸穴，即四花之上下二穴也。
上共六穴，宜择离日火日灸之，灸后百日内，宜慎房劳思虑，饮食应时，寒暑得中，将养
调护。若疮愈后，仍觉未瘥，根据前再灸，无不愈者，故云累灸至百壮。但脊骨上两穴不宜多
灸，凡一次只可三五壮，多则恐人倦怠。若灸此六穴，亦宜灸足三里泻火方妙。
愚按前法，灸脊旁四穴，上二穴近五椎，心俞也；下二穴近九椎，肝俞也。崔知悌不指
穴名，而但立取法，盖欲人之易晓耳。然稽之脊背穴法，则太阳二行者，当去脊中各开二
寸，方得正脉，乃可获效，用者仍宜审之。
〔骑竹马灸法〕
主治一切痈疽恶疮发背，妇人乳痈，皆可治之。
量法，用薄篾一条，以男左女右手臂腕中，自尺泽穴横文起，比至中指端，齐肉尽处，截
断为则。却用竹杠一条，令病者脱去上衣，正身骑定，使两人前后杠起，令病患脚不着地，
仍令二人扶之，勿使伛偻摇动。却将前所量篾，从竹杠坐处尾 骨下，着杠比起，贴脊直
上，至篾尽处点记之，此是取中，非灸穴也。更用薄篾量手中指，用同身寸法，取定二寸，
平放于脊中墨点上，各开一寸是穴，（一本作各开二寸。）灸五七壮。一曰疽发于左则灸右。疽发
于右则灸左，甚则左右皆灸。盖此二穴，乃心脉所过之处。凡痈疽皆心火留滞之毒，灸此
则心火流通而毒散矣。起死回生之功，屡试屡验。
鬼城：位于十个手指的指尖。
《千金方》记载：对于邪气引发的疾病，表现为大声呼喊、谩骂、狂乱奔走等症状，在十指指尖距离指甲一分处施治，此穴名为鬼城。此外，也可治疗手指突然发生剧烈抽搐疼痛、难以忍受的情况，可在指尖施灸七壮。
鬼床：《千金方》记载：第十次下针时，位置在耳垂下方五分处，使用火针针刺三次，名为鬼床。用于治疗各种邪气引起的癫狂病。
鬼藏：《千金方》记载：第十一次下针时，位于阴部缝隙中，女性则在玉门（阴道口）处，施灸三壮，名为鬼藏。
鬼封：《千金方》记载：第十三次下针时，位于舌头上，正当舌头中间下方的缝隙处，针刺穿透至舌面上方，并用一块板横放在嘴唇间固定住针头，防止舌头移动，名为鬼封。
《千金方》十三鬼穴须知：
由百邪所致导致的癫狂病，针刺有十三个穴位必须认清。凡是施针，先刺鬼宫，再刺鬼信，没有不灵验的。要一一从头开始依次寻找，男性从左侧起针，女性从右侧起针。第一针取人中穴，名为鬼宫停针；左边进针，右边出针。第二针在大拇指指甲下，穴名鬼信，刺入三分深。第三针在足大拇指指甲下，名为鬼垒，刺入二分深。第四针取手掌上的大陵穴，距腕横纹八寸五分处为鬼心。第五针取申脉穴，名为鬼路，用火针针刺三次七壮。第六针寻大椎穴上方，入发际一寸处，名为鬼枕。第七针取耳垂下五分处，名为鬼床，针刺要求温热。第八针取承浆穴，名为鬼市，从左出右需牢记。第九针取间使穴，名为鬼路。第十针取上星穴，名为鬼堂。第十一针取阴部缝隙三壮，女性玉门头为鬼藏。第十二针取曲池穴，名为鬼臣，火针仍需七壮。第十三针取舌头当舌中处，此穴名为鬼封。手足两侧相对针刺，如果遇到孤立的穴位则只单侧通刺。这是先师的真正妙诀，可使猖狂恶鬼无处遁形。
扁鹊说：百邪所致的疾病，针刺有十三个穴位。凡是施刺的方法，先从鬼宫开始，接着刺鬼信，然后到鬼垒，再到鬼心，不必全部针刺，只需针刺五六穴，就可以见效了。……男性从左侧起针，女性从右侧起针。如果某些地方没有特别说明，就应当全面针刺，依据歌诀来施行。
〔崔氏四花六穴〕
凡是男女患有五劳七伤、气血虚损、骨蒸潮热、咳嗽痰喘、五心烦热、四肢困倦、身体消瘦虚弱等症状，都可用此法治疗。
第一次先选取两个穴位，让患者平身站立，取一根约长三四尺的细绳，涂蜡使其不能伸缩。将绳头与男性左手或女性右手的大脚趾尖对齐，顺着脚心方向，直到脚后跟踩定，然后将绳子向后引，从足跟和小腿肚贴着肉直向上量，直到膝盖弯曲处的横纹截断。接着让患者平身正坐，解开头发分向头顶正中露出头缝，取刚才量的涂蜡绳，一头齐着鼻端按定，引绳向上，沿着头缝、颈部、背部，贴着肉垂下直到绳头尽头，用墨汁做记号。（此处不是灸穴。）另外再取一小根绳子，让患者合拢嘴巴，将绳子对折，从鼻梁根部按定，左右分开，量至两个嘴角加上“人”字形的宽度截断，然后将这根绳子展直取其中点，横向加在前面记好的脊背中间的墨点上，其两边绳头尽头处，用墨汁做记号。这是第一次应灸的两个穴位，名为患门。
上述方法如果女性脚较小，难以作为标准，可以取右臂从肩井穴起始，用墨点标记，伸手引绳向下，量到中指尖截断，以此代替量足的方法，这样比较适宜。
第二次取两个穴位，让患者平身正坐，稍微收缩手臂，取一根蜡绳绕过头颈后方，向前双垂，与鸠尾穴尖端齐平，双头一齐截断，然后将绳子翻过来向后，将此绳的中折处正按在结喉上，绳子下垂在脊背间的部分，用墨汁做记号。（此处不是灸穴。）又取一小根绳子，让患者合拢嘴巴，横向量齐两个嘴角截断，再加在脊背上的墨点处，横向量如前法，在两头尽头处点记。这是第二次应灸的两个穴位，即四花穴的左右二穴。
前面共四个穴位，同时施灸，初灸七壮，或者十四壮、二十一壮，直到一百壮为妙。等到灸疮快要痊愈，或者火疮发作时，再根据后面的方法灸两个穴位。
随后取两个穴位，用第二次量口吻的短绳，在第二次脊背间的墨点处，垂直放置，务必令上下相平衡，在绳头尽头处用墨汁做记号。这是灸穴，即四花穴的上下二穴。
上面共六个穴位，宜选择离日、火日施灸，灸后一百日内，宜谨慎房事和思虑，饮食顺应时节，寒暑适中，进行调养护理。如果疮愈后，仍觉得未痊愈，根据前面的方法再灸，没有不愈的，所以说累计灸至一百壮。但是脊骨上的两个穴位不宜多灸，凡是一次只可灸三五壮，多了恐怕使人倦怠。如果灸这六个穴位，也宜灸足三里穴以泻火，这样更妙。
我按：前述方法，灸脊旁四个穴位，上面两个穴位靠近第五椎，是心俞穴；下面两个穴位靠近第九椎，是肝俞穴。崔知悌不指出穴位名称，只是确立取穴方法，大概是希望人们容易理解。然而考证脊背穴法，足太阳膀胱经的两条循行线，应当距离脊柱中线各开二寸，才符合正经脉络，才能获效，使用者仍需谨慎审察。
〔骑竹马灸法〕
主治一切痈疽恶疮、发背，妇人乳痈，都可以治疗。
量取方法，用一条薄篾片，以男性左手或女性右手手腕中，从尺泽穴横纹起，量到中指尖，齐着肉尽头处截断作为标准。然后用一条竹杠，让患者脱去上衣，正身骑在上面，让两个人前后抬起竹杠，使病患脚不着地，仍让两人扶持，不要使其弯腰摇动。然后将前面量的篾片，从竹杠坐处尾骨下，贴着竹杠向上，沿着脊背直上，直到篾片尽头处点记。这是取中点，不是灸穴。再用薄篾片量手中指，用同身寸法，取定二寸，平放于脊背中间的墨点上，向左右各开一寸即为穴位，（另一版本作各开二寸），灸五七壮。一种说法是：疽发于左侧则灸右侧，疽发于右侧则灸左侧，严重时左右都灸。因为这两个穴位，是心脉经过的地方。凡是痈疽都是心火滞留的毒邪，灸此穴则心火流通而毒邪消散。具有起死回生的功效，屡试屡验。
Gui Cheng (Ghost City): Located at the tips of the ten fingers.
*Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) records: For diseases caused by evil pathogens, manifesting as loud shouting, cursing, mania, and running wildly, treat one fen away from the nail bed at the tips of the ten fingers; this acupoint is named Gui Cheng. It can also treat sudden, unbearable cramping pain in the fingers; apply moxibustion with seven moxa cones at the finger tips.
Gui Chuang (Ghost Bed): *Qianjin Fang* records: For the seventh needle insertion, located five fen below the earlobe, use a fire needle to puncture three times; this is named Gui Chuang. It treats various types of mania and epilepsy caused by evil pathogens.
Gui Zang (Ghost Repository): *Qianjin Fang* records: For the eleventh needle insertion, located in the perineal cleft; for women, at the Yumen (vaginal opening); apply moxibustion with three moxa cones; this is named Gui Zang.
Gui Feng (Ghost Seal): *Qianjin Fang* records: For the thirteenth needle insertion, located on the tongue, directly at the midline suture on the underside of the tongue; pierce through to the dorsal surface of the tongue. Secure the needle head with a board placed horizontally across the mouth corners to prevent tongue movement; this is named Gui Feng.
Instructions on the Thirteen Ghost Acupoints from *Qianjin Fang*:
For mania and madness caused by hundred evils, thirteen acupoints must be identified. When needling, begin with Gui Gong, then needle Gui Xin; there is no case that will not respond. Seek them one by one from the beginning. For men, start from the left side; for women, start from the right side.
1. The first needle is at Renzhong (Governor Vessel 26), named Gui Ting (Ghost Stop). Insert from the left, withdraw from the right.
2. The second needle is under the thumbnail of the thumb, named Gui Xin (Ghost Belief), insert three fen deep.
3. The third needle is under the thumbnail of the big toe, named Gui Lei (Ghost Rampart), insert two fen deep.
4. The fourth needle is at Daling (Pericardium 7) on the palm, eight cun five fen from the wrist crease, named Gui Xin (Ghost Heart).
5. The fifth needle is at Shenmai (Bladder 62), named Gui Lu (Ghost Road), use a fire needle for three punctures of seven moxa cones each.
6. The sixth needle seeks above Dazhui (Governor Vessel 14), one cun into the hairline, named Gui Zhen (Ghost Pillow).
7. The seventh needle is five fen below the earlobe, named Gui Chuang (Ghost Bed); the needle should be warm.
8. The eighth needle is at Chengjiang (Conception Vessel 24), named Gui Shi (Ghost Market); remember to insert from the left and withdraw from the right.
9. The ninth needle is at Jianshi (Pericardium 5), named Gui Lu (Ghost Road).
10. The tenth needle is at Shangxing (Governor Vessel 23), named Gui Tang (Ghost Hall).
11. The eleventh needle involves three moxa cones in the perineal cleft; for women, at the Yumen, named Gui Zang (Ghost Repository).
12. The twelfth needle is at Quchi (Large Intestine 11), named Gui Chen (Ghost Minister); use a fire needle for seven moxa cones.
13. The thirteenth needle is at the midline of the tongue, named Gui Feng (Ghost Seal).
Needle symmetrically on both hands and feet; if encountering an isolated point, needle only on one side. This is the true secret of the ancient masters; it drives away rampant evil ghosts without a trace.
Bian Que said: For diseases caused by hundred evils, there are thirteen acupoints for needling. The method of needling starts from Gui Gong, then needles Gui Xin, proceeds to Gui Lei, and then to Gui Xin. It is not necessary to needle all of them; stopping after five or six points is sufficient to see results... For men, start needling from the left; for women, start from the right. If certain locations are not specified, needle all over, following the rhyme instructions.
[Cui's Four Flowers Six Acupoints]
This method treats all conditions of five labors and seven injuries, deficiency and damage of Qi and Blood, bone-steaming tidal fever, cough with phlegm and wheezing, heat in the five centers, fatigue of the four limbs, emaciation, and weakness.
First time: Select two acupoints. Have the patient stand upright. Take a thin string about three or four chi long, coat it with wax so it does not stretch or shrink. Align the end of the string with the tip of the big toe of the male's left foot or female's right foot. Let it follow the sole of the foot to the heel, pressing down firmly. Then pull the string backward, along the heel and calf紧贴 the flesh upwards, until it reaches the transverse crease in the popliteal fossa (knee bend), and cut it. Next, have the patient sit upright. Part the hair at the vertex to expose the midline suture. Take the measured waxed string, align one end with the tip of the nose, and lead it upwards along the head suture, neck, and back, hanging down紧贴 the flesh until the end of the string. Mark this point with ink. (This is not a moxibustion point.) Additionally, take a small string. Have the patient close their mouth, fold the string in half, press it against the root of the nasal bridge, and spread it left and right to the corners of the mouth, adding the width of a "human" character shape, then cut. Straighten this string, find its midpoint, and place it horizontally over the ink mark on the spine recorded earlier. Mark the ends of the string with ink. These are the two acupoints to be moxibusted the first time, named Huanmen (Patient Gate).
If the woman has small feet and this method is difficult to standardize, measure from the Jianjing (Gallbladder 21) acupoint on the right arm downwards to the tip of the middle finger, marking with ink, to substitute for measuring the foot, which is more appropriate.
Second time: Select two acupoints. Have the patient sit upright, slightly retracting the arms. Take a waxed string, wrap it around the back of the neck forward, hanging double in front, aligning with the tip of Jiutui (Conception Vessel 15). Cut both ends together. Turn the string back, placing the folded center exactly on the laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple). Where the string ends hang down between the vertebrae, mark with ink. (This is not a moxibustion point.) Take another small string, have the patient close their mouth, measure horizontally across the two corners of the mouth, cut, and place it on the ink mark on the spine, measuring horizontally as before. Mark the ends. These are the two acupoints to be moxibusted the second time, i.e., the left and right two points of the Four Flowers.
Moxibustion on the previous four points simultaneously: Start with seven moxa cones, or fourteen, twenty-one, up to one hundred moxa cones is excellent. Wait until the moxibustion sores are about to heal or when the fire sores erupt, then moxibust the next two points according to the following method.
Next time: Select two points. Use the short string used to measure the mouth in the second step. Place it vertically on the ink mark between the vertebrae from the second step, ensuring it is balanced up and down. Mark the end of the string with ink. These are the moxibustion points, i.e., the upper and lower two points of the Four Flowers.
In total, there are six points. Choose a Li day (Fire day) for moxibustion. Within one hundred days after moxibustion, avoid sexual activity and excessive thinking. Eat according to the seasons, maintain balance in cold and heat, and provide proper nursing care. If the sores heal but the condition persists, repeat the moxibustion as before; there will be no failure. Hence it is said to accumulate moxibustion up to one hundred cones. However, do not moxibust too heavily on the two points on the spinal column; only three to five cones per session are allowed, otherwise, it may cause fatigue. If moxibusting these six points, it is also advisable to moxibust Zusanli (Stomach 36) to drain fire, which is optimal.
My commentary: Regarding the aforementioned method, the four points on the sides of the spine are moxibusted. The upper two points are near the fifth thoracic vertebra, corresponding to Xinxu (Bladder 15); the lower two points are near the ninth thoracic vertebra, corresponding to Ganshu (Bladder 18). Cui Zhiti did not specify the acupoint names but established the measurement method, likely to make it easier for people to understand. However, consulting the acupoint methods of the back, the two lines of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian should be two cun lateral to the midline of the spine to align with the main meridians and achieve efficacy. Users should examine this carefully.
[Riding the Bamboo Horse Moxibustion Method]
Indications: All types of carbuncles, ulcers, malignant sores, back abscesses, and breast abscesses in women can be treated.
Measurement method: Use a thin bamboo strip. Measure from the transverse crease at the Ruize (Lung 5) acupoint of the male's left wrist or female's right wrist to the tip of the middle finger, cutting at the fleshy end as the standard. Then take a bamboo pole. Have the patient remove their upper garment and ride straddling the pole. Two people lift the pole from the front and back so that the patient's feet do not touch the ground. Two people support the patient to prevent bending or shaking. Take the previously measured bamboo strip, starting from below the coccyx where the patient sits on the pole, place it against the pole, and go straight up along the spine. Mark the end of the strip with ink. This marks the midpoint, not a moxibustion point. Use another thin bamboo strip to measure the middle finger. Using the proportional inch method (Tongshen Cun), measure two cun. Place this horizontally on the ink mark on the midline of the spine, one cun to the left and one cun to the right (another version says two cun). These are the acupoints. Apply moxibustion with five to seven moxa cones. One theory states: If the carbuncle is on the left, moxibust the right; if on the right, moxibust the left; if severe, moxibust both. These two points are where the Heart Meridian passes. All carbuncles and ulcers are toxins stagnating due to Heart Fire. Moxibustion here promotes the flow of Heart Fire and disperses the toxin. It has the merit of bringing the dead back to life and has been repeatedly tested and verified.
