（五言）
八法神针妙，飞腾法最奇，砭针内联外，水火就中推。上下交经走，疾如应手驱，往来
根据进退，补泻逐迎随。用似船推舵，应如弩发机。气聚时间散，身疼指下移。这般玄妙
诀，料得少人知。
甲己之辰起丙寅，乙庚之日戊寅行，丙辛便起庚寅始，丁卯壬寅亦顺寻，戊癸甲寅
定时候，五门得合是元因。
甲己辰戌丑未十，乙庚申酉九为期，丁壬寅卯八成数，戊癸巳午七相宜，丙辛亥子
亦七数，逐日支干即得知。
甲己子午九宜用，乙庚丑未八无疑，丙辛寅申七作数，丁壬卯酉六顺知，戊癸辰戌
各有五，巳亥单加四共齐，阳日除九阴除六，不及零余穴下推。
其法如甲丙戊庚壬为阳日，乙丁己辛癸为阴日，以日时干支算计何数，阳日除九数，阴
日除六数，阳日多，或一九、二九、三九、四九；阴日多，或二六、三六、四六、五六，剩
下若干，同配卦数日时，得何卦，即知何穴开矣。
假如甲子日、戊辰时，以日上甲得十数，子得七数，以时上戊得五数，辰得五数，共成
二十七数，此是阳日。以九除去，二九一十八，余有九数，合离卦，即列缺穴开也。假如乙
丑日、壬午时，以日上乙为九，丑为十，以时上壬为六，午为九，共成三十四数。此是阴日
，以六除去，五六三十数，零下四数，合巽四，即临泣穴开也。余仿此。
(Five-character verse)
The marvel of the Eight-Method Divine Needle lies in the Flying-Thrust Method (Feiteng Fa), which is most extraordinary. Acupuncture needles and stone lancets are internally and externally linked, with Water and Fire elements deduced within. Qi moves through meridians up and down, driving away illness swiftly as if by touch. Advancing and retreating follow principles, while tonification and sedation adhere to welcoming and following techniques. Application resembles steering a boat, responsiveness akin to releasing a crossbow trigger. When Qi gathers, it dissipates; body pain shifts under the fingers. Such profound secrets are known by few.
On days ending in Jia (甲) or Ji (己), the hour pillar begins at Bing Yin (丙寅). On days ending in Yi (乙) or Geng (庚), the sequence proceeds from Wu Yin (戊寅). For days ending in Bing (丙) or Xin (辛), it starts at Geng Yin (庚寅); for Ding (丁) and Ren (壬), one follows sequentially to Ren Yin (壬寅). For Wu (戊) and Gui (癸), the time is fixed at Jia Yin (甲寅). The convergence of the Five Gates (Wu Men) is the fundamental cause.
For Jia and Ji, the Chen (辰), Xu (戌), Chou (丑), and Wei (Wei) hours total ten. For Yi and Geng, Shen (申) and You (酉) hours serve as nine. For Ding and Ren, Yin (寅) and Mao (卯) hours constitute eight. For Wu and Gui, Si (巳) and Wu (午) hours suit seven. For Bing, Xin, Hai (亥), and Zi (子), the number is also seven. One can know this by calculating the daily stem and branch.
For Jia and Ji, Zi (子) and Wu (午) hours appropriately use nine. For Yi and Geng, Chou (丑) and Wei (未) hours undoubtedly use eight. For Bing and Xin, Yin (寅) and Shen (申) hours count as seven. For Ding and Ren, Mao (卯) and You (酉) hours naturally correspond to six. For Wu and Gui, Chen (辰) and Xu (戌) hours each have five. Si (巳) and Hai (亥) hours add four to complete the set. For Yang days, divide by nine; for Yin days, divide by six. If the remainder exists, deduce the acupoint below.
In this method, Jia (甲), Bing (丙), Wu (戊), Geng (庚), and Ren (壬) are Yang days; Yi (乙), Ding (丁), Ji (己), Xin (辛), and Gui (癸) are Yin days. Calculate the resulting number based on the day and hour stems and branches. For Yang days, divide by nine (e.g., 1x9, 2x9, 3x9, 4x9); for Yin days, divide by six (e.g., 2x6, 3x6, 4x6, 5x6). The remainder corresponds to the trigram numbers associated with the day and hour. Knowing the trigram reveals which acupoint opens.
For example, on a Jia Zi (甲子) day during a Wu Chen (戊辰) hour: The day stem Jia yields 10, and the day branch Zi yields 7. The hour stem Wu yields 5, and the hour branch Chen yields 5. The sum is 27. This is a Yang day. Dividing 27 by 9 gives a quotient of 3 (3x9=27) with a remainder of 9. A remainder of 9 corresponds to the Li Trigram (Li Gua, 离卦), indicating that Lieque (LU7, Colliculus) opens.
Another example: On a Yi Chou (乙丑) day during a Ren Wu (壬午) hour: The day stem Yi yields 9, and the day branch Chou yields 10. The hour stem Ren yields 6, and the hour branch Wu yields 9. The sum is 34. This is a Yin day. Dividing 34 by 6 gives a quotient of 5 (5x6=30) with a remainder of 4. A remainder of 4 corresponds to the Xun Trigram (Xun Gua, 巽卦), indicating that Linqi (GB41, Foot-Shu Point) opens. The rest follow this pattern.
