(Yang's Annotation)
Bian Que transmitted the *Yulong Ge* (Jade Dragon Song) to me. A single trial of the *Yulong Ge* can cure chronic and severe diseases. The song of the Jade Dragon is truly rare; it has been passed down for a thousand years without error or distortion. Today I sing this *Yulong Jue* (Jade Dragon Mantra), which contains one hundred and twenty acupoints. The physician's needle skills are extraordinarily wonderful, yet I fear that people of the time may differ in their views. When tonification and sedation are clearly applied under the fingers, the golden needle instantly reveals the skilled physician. The hunchbacked will immediately straighten up, and the stooped will immediately stand upright; from then on, fame will spread throughout the world.
For those suffering from kyphosis (hunchback), tonify Quchi (LI11) and sedate Renzhong (GV26); for those suffering from lordosis (stooping), tonify Fengchi (GB20) and sedate Jiexu (GB39).
Apoplexy resulting in aphasia is the most difficult to treat. One must know the location of the Dinghui point at the hairline vertex. Furthermore, by clearly applying tonification and sedation at Baihui (GV20), the patient will awaken immediately, avoiding disaster and danger.
Dinghui is the same as Xinhui (GV22); needling is prohibited here. Moxibustion: five moxa cones. For Baihui (GV20), apply tonification first, then sedation. Moxibustion: seven moxa cones, with cones the size of wheat grains.
Clear nasal discharge is named Biyuan (nasal sinusitis). Sedation followed by tonification can cure the disease. If it is Toufeng (head wind) accompanied by eye pain, needling Shangxing (GV23) without deviation is effective.
For Shangxing (GV23), treating clear nasal discharge and loss of smell: sedate until Deqi is obtained, then tonify.
Head wind accompanied by vomiting and blurred vision: needling Shenting (GV24) initially ensures recovery. How to treat slow convulsions in children? Needling Yintang (EX-HN3) combined with moxibustion is effective.
Shenting (GV24): insert 0.3 cun, tonify first, then sedate. Yintang (EX-HN3): insert 0.1 cun, subcutaneously transmit to Zanzhu (BL2) on both sides. Effectiveness is seen if the child cries loudly; difficulty arises if they do not cry. For acute convulsions, use sedation; for slow convulsions... [text incomplete].
Stiffness and pain in the head and neck making it difficult to look back, along with toothache, should be treated similarly. First, clearly apply tonification and sedation at Chengjiang (CV24), then needle Fengfu (GV16) for immediate relief.
Chengjiang (CV24): suitable for sedation. Fengfu (GV16): needling depth must not be deep.
Lateral and frontal headaches are difficult to treat. Sizhukong (TE23) can also be used. Subcutaneously transmit posteriorly to Lvgu (GB8); one needle passing through two points is rare in the world.
