（卫生宝鉴。）
必欲治病，莫如用针。巧运神机之妙，功开圣理之深。外取砭针，能蠲邪而辅正；中含
水火，善回阳而倒阴。原夫络别支殊，经交错综。或沟渠溪谷以岐异，或山海丘陵而隙共。
斯流派以难暌，在条纲而出众。理繁而昧，纵补泻以何功？法捷而明，自迎随而得用。且
如步履难移，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，眼疼则合谷以推之。胸结身黄，刺涌泉而即
可；头昏目赤，泻攒竹以便宜。若两肘之拘挛，仗曲池而平扫。牙齿痛太溪堪治，颈项强承
浆可保。太白宣导于气冲，阴陵开通于水道。腹 而胀，夺内庭以休迟；筋转而疼，泻承山
之在早。大抵脚腕痛，昆仑可愈； 膝疼，阴市能医。痫发癫狂兮，凭后溪而料理；疟生寒
热兮，仗间使以扶持。期门退胸满血膨而可止，劳宫去胃翻心痛以何疑？稽夫大敦除七疝
之偏疼，王公谓此；三里却五劳之羸瘦，华佗言之。腕骨祛黄，然谷泻肾。行间治膝肿腰
疼，尺泽去肘疼筋紧。目昏不见，二间宜求；鼻窒无闻，迎香可引。肩井除两臂痛不胜，丝
竹空疗偏头疼难忍。咳嗽寒痰，列缺堪凭；眵 冷泪，临泣尤准。髋骨将腿痛以祛残，肾俞
把腰疼而泻尽。越人治尸厥于会维，随手而苏；文伯泻死胎于三阴，应针而陨。所谓诸痛
为实，诸麻曰虚。实则自外而入也，虚则自内而出诸。是故济母而裨其不足，夺子而平其
有余。观二十七之经络，一一能辨；据四百四之疾证，件件皆除。故必使夭枉皆无，跻斯民
于寿域；几微以判，彰往古之玄书。又闻心胸病，求掌后之大陵；肩背痛，责肘前之三里。
冷痹肾余，取足阳明之土；脐连腹痛，泻足少阴之水。脊间心后者，针中渚而立痊；胁下肋
边者，刺阳陵而即止。头项痛，拟后溪以安然；腰脚疼，在委中而已矣。

想要治病，没有比使用针灸更好的了。巧妙地运用神妙的机巧，功效开启圣人的深奥道理。外部取用砭石和针具，能够祛除邪气并辅助正气；内部蕴含水火之理，善于回阳救逆并纠正阴阳失调。
追溯其理，经络分支殊异，经脉交错综合。有的像沟渠、溪谷那样分歧变异，有的像山海、丘陵那样存在间隙。这些流派难以分离，在条纲中出众。如果道理繁杂而昏昧，即使采用补泻手法又有什么功效呢？如果法度快捷而明确，自然从迎随补泻中得到应用。
况且如行走困难，太冲穴最为神奇。人中穴能解除脊背的强直疼痛，神门穴能去除心性的呆痴。风邪伤及项部导致拘急，开始应寻求风府穴；头晕目眩，要寻找风池穴。耳闭需要听会穴来治疗，眼疼则用合谷穴来推治。胸中郁结身体发黄，针刺涌泉穴即可见效；头昏眼睛发红，泻攒竹穴以图方便。如果是两肘拘挛，依靠曲池穴来平复。牙齿痛太溪穴可以治疗，颈项强直承浆穴可保平安。太白穴宣导气冲，阴陵泉开通水道。腹部胀满，夺取内庭穴不要迟疑；筋脉转筋疼痛，早泻承山穴。大抵脚腕疼痛，昆仑穴可愈；膝盖疼痛，阴市穴能医。癫痫发作，凭借后溪穴来调理；疟疾产生寒热，仗赖间使穴来扶持。期门穴退除胸满血膨而可止住，劳宫穴去除胃翻心痛有什么可疑虑的呢？考察大敦穴消除七疝的偏疼，王公这样说；足三里穴克服五劳导致的羸瘦，华佗这样说过。腕骨穴祛除湿黄，然谷穴泻肾火。行间穴治疗膝肿腰疼，尺泽穴去除肘疼筋紧。眼睛昏花看不见，二间穴适宜寻求；鼻塞闻不到气味，迎香穴可引导。肩井穴除去两臂疼痛不胜任，丝竹空穴治疗偏头疼难忍受。咳嗽有寒痰，列缺穴可凭靠；眵多冷泪，临泣穴尤其准确。髋骨将腿痛以祛除残存，肾俞把腰疼而泻尽。越人（扁鹊）治疗尸厥于会宗穴，随手而苏醒；文伯泻死胎于三阴交穴，应针而陨落。所谓各种疼痛属于实证，各种麻木属于虚证。实证是从外部侵入的，虚证是从内部产生的。因此救济母穴来弥补不足，夺取子穴来平衡有余。观察二十七条经络，一一能够辨别；依据四百四种种疾病症状，件件都能消除。所以必须使夭折枉死都没有，让百姓达到长寿的境界；细微之处加以判断，彰显古代玄妙之书。又听说心胸病，求取手掌后方的大陵穴；肩背痛，责求肘前的三里穴。冷痹涉及肾脏余邪，取足阳明经的土穴；脐连腹痛，泻足少阴经的水穴。脊间心后部位的病，针中渚穴立刻痊愈；胁下肋边的病，刺阳陵泉穴立即停止。头项痛，拟用后溪穴使其安然；腰脚疼，在委中穴而已。
(From *Weisheng Baojian*.)
To treat diseases, nothing is superior to the use of acupuncture. Skillfully manipulating the divine mechanism, its efficacy opens up the profound principles of the sages. Externally utilizing bian stones and needles can eliminate pathogenic factors and assist healthy qi; internally containing the principles of water and fire, it is adept at restoring yang and reversing yin.
Tracing back, meridians branch out differently, and channels interlace and integrate. Some diverge like ditches, streams, and valleys, while others have gaps like mountains, seas, and hills. These flow lines are difficult to separate, standing out among the categories. If the principles are complex and obscure, what benefit will tonification and sedation bring? If the methods are swift and clear, one naturally derives their application from following and opposing (Ying-Sui) techniques.
For instance, if walking is difficult, Taichong (LR3) is most miraculous. Renzhong (GV26) relieves stiffness and pain in the spine and back; Shenmen (HT7) removes mental dullness and stupidity. When wind pathogens injure the neck causing stiffness, one should initially seek Fengfu (GV16); for dizziness and vertigo, one must look for Fengchi (GB20). For ear blockage, Tinghui (GB2) is required for treatment; for eye pain, Hegu (LI4) is used to push away the ailment. For chest stagnation and yellow complexion, puncturing Yongquan (KI1) yields immediate results; for dizziness and red eyes, draining Cuanzhu (BL2) offers convenience. If both elbows are cramped, Quchi (LI11) relies on to smooth them out. For toothache, Taixi (KI3) is capable of treating; for stiff neck and nape, Chengjiang (CV24) ensures safety. Taibai (SP3) guides Qi movement; Yinlingquan (SP9) unblocks water pathways. For abdominal distension, Neiting (ST44) should be drained without delay; for muscle spasms and pain, Chengshan (BL57) should be drained early. Generally, ankle pain can be cured by Kunlun (BL60); knee pain can be treated by Yinshi (ST33). For epilepsy and mania, Houxi (SI3) is relied upon for management; for malaria with chills and fever, Jianshi (PC5) is depended on for support. Qimen (LR14) stops chest fullness and blood distension; Laogong (PC8) eliminates stomach reversal and heart pain, leaving no doubt? Examining Dadun (LR1), it removes the unilateral pain of seven types of hernias, as stated by Wang Gong; Zusanli (ST36) overcomes emaciation caused by five exhautions, as spoken by Hua Tuo. Wangu (SI4) dispels jaundice; Ran Gu (KI2) drains kidney fire. Xingjian (LR2) treats knee swelling and lower back pain; Chize (LU5) removes elbow pain and tight tendons. For dim vision, Erjian (LI2) is suitable to seek; for nasal obstruction and loss of smell, Yingxiang (LI20) can guide. Jianjing (GB21) removes unbearable arm pain; Sizhukong (TE23) treats unbearable lateral headache. For cough with cold phlegm, Lieque (LU7) is reliable; for excessive discharge and cold tears, Linqi (GB15) is particularly accurate. Huangu (SI42) dispels residual leg pain; Shenshu (BL23) drains lower back pain completely. Yue Ren (Bian Que) treated corpse-like fainting at Huihui (likely referring to a point near the head or specific context, often associated with Baihui or similar, but text says Huiwei/Huihui - note: standard texts often cite *Huiyin* or *Baihui*, here translated as Huihui based on text, likely a typo for *Huiyang* or similar, but sticking to text "Huiwei" might be a misprint for *Huiyin* or *Baihui*. However, "Huiwei" is not a standard point name. Looking at context "Zhenren zhi shijue yu hui wei", Bian Que treated *Shijue* at *Huiyin*? Or *Baihui*? Actually, classical texts often say Bian Que treated *Shijue* at *Baihui* (DU20) or *Renzhong*. The text says "Hui Wei". I will transliterate as Huiwei but note it's likely a specific reference. Wait, checking source: "越人治尸厥于会维". "Hui Wei" might be a typo for *Huiyang* or *Baihui*. Let's stick to literal "Huiwei" or interpret as *Huiyin* if context suggests perineum, but Shijue is usually head/neck. Actually, many sources cite Bian Que using *Baihui* or *Renzhong*. I will translate literally as Huiwei point to avoid error, or check if it refers to *Huiyang* (BL35)? No. Let's assume it refers to a specific point named Huiwei in this context or a typo. I will use "Huiwei point".) -> Correction: In some versions, it is "Huiyang" or "Baihui". Given "Hui Wei", I will translate as "Huiwei point". Wenbo drained the dead fetus at Sanyinjiao (SP6), resulting in expulsion upon needling. It is said that all pains belong to excess, and all numbness belongs to deficiency. Excess enters from the outside; deficiency arises from the inside. Therefore, nourishing the mother acupoint supplements insufficiency, while draining the child acupoint balances surplus. Observing the twenty-seven meridians, each can be distinguished; relying on the four hundred and forty disease manifestations, every item can be eliminated. Thus, ensuring no premature death, elevating the people to an age of longevity; judging the subtle, manifesting the profound ancient texts. Furthermore, it is heard that for heart and chest diseases, one seeks Daling (PC7) behind the palm; for shoulder and back pain, one holds Zusanli (ST36) before the elbow responsible. For cold bi syndrome involving the kidneys, take the Earth point of the Foot-Yangming meridian; for umbilical and abdominal pain, drain the Water point of the Foot-Shaoyin meridian. For pain in the interscapular region behind the heart, needling Zhongzhu (TE3) leads to immediate recovery; for pain under the ribs and along the costal margin, puncturing Yanglingquan (GB34) brings immediate cessation. For head and neck pain, Houxi (SI3) is proposed to ensure peace; for waist and foot pain, it lies in Weizhong (BL40).
