汪绍达先生曰∶穴法歌传世已数百年,并未帮助何用,但云相应而已。昔尝举
以问老友濮云根据,据转述其师陆九芝先生云∶此针灸家一大秘密也。凡救晕针及拔
针不出种种危险,皆于此相应诸穴下针,但从未有注明何穴救晕针,何穴救吸针,
致后人无从措手。然果能明于各经脉中之气机,某经与某经互相贯通,此穴法歌中
所云某穴与某穴互相为应者,有如何关系,自不难由此例彼,推类而知也。愚按∶
吾师石屏先生于救晕针各穴,多至十余处,皆与此歌所云之各穴相符。盖吾师之针
法,传于异人聂君,聂君又传于济宁州之高僧,除传授针法外,尚须授以炼气运气
诸法,故能于极柔之金针,运以刚劲之真气,由孔穴以入经络,济危救急,指挥如意,又不仅在穴道之相应已也。
汪先生又云∶古法救晕针者,但取夺命穴救之。其穴在手膊上侧筋骨陷中,从
肩至肘正在当中,即是虾蟆儿上边也。今各穴相应之法,既经发明,救急之法益
广。愚按∶吾师石屏先生于百会、人中、曲池、合谷、足三里、三阴交,皆能随时
取以救治晕针之危急。信乎吾师门之所发明者,于古歌若合符节,尤足征渊源之有自矣。

The acupoints contraindicated for moxibustion must be clearly understood: Naohu (GV17), Xinhui (GV22), and Shenting (GV24); Luoque (BL9), Yuzhen (BL9), and Jiaosun (TE6); Luxi (SJ19), Chengqi (ST1), and Chengling (GB15); Shendao (GV11), Lingtai (GV10), and Danzhong (CV17) are forbidden; Shuifen (CV9), Shenque (CV8), and Huiyin (CV1) [are also contraindicated]; Henggu (KI12), Qichong (ST30), and Shiwuli (LI13); Jimen (SP8), Chengjin (BL56), and Qingling (HT8); plus Sanyangluo (TE7) on the arm. These twenty-two acupoints should not be needled. Pregnant women should avoid needling Hegu (LI4), and the same applies to Sanyinjiao (SP6). Mimen (CV5) must be avoided for both acupuncture and moxibustion; if affected, a woman may become infertile for life. Additionally, Yunmen (LU2) and Jiutui (CV15); Quepen (ST12) and Keren (EX-HN17) should not be needled deeply; deep needling of Jianjing (GB21) may cause fainting, while urgent tonification of Zusanli (ST36) can stabilize vital energy.
There are forty-five acupoints contraindicated for moxibustion: Chengguang (BL7), Yamen (GV15), and Fengfu (GV16); Tianzhu (BL10), Suliao (DU26), Linqi (Shangxing BL2 or GB15 context dependent, here likely referring to upper head points like Shangxing/BL2 or Gallbladder channel points), and Shangxing (BL2); Jingming (BL1), Cuanzhu (BL2), and Yingxiang (LI20); Heliao (LI19), Quanliao (SI18), and Sizhukong (TE23); Touwei (ST8), Xiaguan (ST7), and Jizhong (GV12); Jianzhen (SI9), Xinshu (BL15), and Baihuanxu (BL30); Tianyou (TE16), Renying (ST9), and Ruzhong (CV17); Zhourong (ST15), Yuanli (RN15 or similar, likely Yuanli ST15 variant or specific point), and Jiutui (CV15); Fu'ai (ST16), Shaoshang (LU11), and Yuji (LU10); Jingqu (LU8), Tianfu (LU3), and Zhongchong (PC9); Yangguan (EX-B7 or Du Mai point), Yangchi (TE4), and Diwuhui (EX-LE1); Yinbai (SP1), Lougu (SP9), and Yinlingquan (SP9); Tiaokou (ST38), Dubi (ST35), and Yinshi (ST32); Futu (ST37), Biguan (ST31), and Weizhong (BL40); Yinmen (BL37), Shenmai (BL62), and Chengfu (BL36) are contraindicated.
First, let us discuss the Ping Zhen method (neutral needle technique): Warm the needle in the mouth, massage the acupoint to disperse Qi, pinch the acupoint to ensure deep insertion, hold the needle above the acupoint, ask the patient to cough once, and upon the cough, withdraw the needle to the Heaven layer (superficial level). Pause, then insert to the Human layer (middle level), lift the needle towards the disease site, withdrawing through Earth, Heaven, and Human layers. For tonification, needle along the meridian direction, ask the patient to exhale frequently, rotate counter-clockwise with each exhalation, gradually returning through Earth, Heaven, and Human layers. After Qi settles, retain the needle for a long time, tap it three times, and apply warm moxa or heat. Upon withdrawal, have the patient inhale and immediately close the puncture. For sedation, intercept the meridian Qi, insert during inhalation, rotate clockwise during inhalation, sequentially entering Heaven, Human, and Earth layers. Continue rotating with inhalation, pause as per method, withdraw while the patient exhales, and shake the needle to enlarge the opening.
Mr. Wang Shaoda stated: The Acupoint Correspondence Song has been passed down for centuries but offers little practical help, merely stating correspondence. I once asked my old friend Pu Yungen about it, who relayed that his teacher, Mr. Lu Jiuzhi, said this is a great secret of acupuncture. All dangers such as syncope from needling or retained needles are resolved by needling these corresponding acupoints, yet no one specifies which acupoint treats syncope or which treats retained needles, leaving later generations at a loss. However, if one understands the Qi mechanism of the meridians, how they interconnect, and the relationships between corresponding acupoints mentioned in the song, one can easily infer others by analogy. I note: My teacher, Mr. Shiping, used over ten acupoints to treat syncope, all matching those in the song. His technique was transmitted from an extraordinary person, Mr. Nie, who passed it to a high monk in Jining Prefecture. Besides needle techniques, he taught Qi cultivation and circulation methods, allowing him to wield rigid True Qi with the extremely flexible golden needle, entering meridians via acupoints to save lives in emergencies with ease, going far beyond mere acupoint correspondence. Mr. Wang also said: Ancient methods for treating syncope only used the Duoming acupoint. This point is located in the depression between tendons and bones on the lateral side of the forearm, midway from shoulder to elbow, just above the "toad's child" area. Now that the method of acupoint correspondence is clarified, emergency treatments are more extensive. I note: My teacher Mr. Shiping could use Baihui (GV20), Renzhong (GV26), Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6) at any time to treat acute syncope. Indeed, the innovations of my teacher's school align perfectly with the ancient song, further proving its authentic lineage.
