Selecting the essence from the extensive, discarding complexity for simplicity. Compiling the *Yulong Fu* (Jade Dragon Ode) to form this treatise, trusting in golden needle therapy to attain peace and health.

Tracing its origins: for sudden apoplexy (stroke), puncture Baihui (GV20) at the vertex; for Hongxiangjiao (gouty swelling of the lower limbs), puncture Yongquan (KI1) at the sole; for treating Qi reversal cough and phlegm-wheezing, utilize Fengshi (GB31) and Yinshi (ST32); to dispel weakness in the legs and feet, employ Yinlingquan (SP9) and Yanglingquan (GB34), eliminating the unbearable knee swelling. Erbai (EX-UE7) treats hemorrhoids and fistulas; Jianshi (PC5) eradicates malaria; Dadun (LR1) removes hernia; Gaohuang (BL43) tonifies deficiency and consumptive disorders; Tianjing (TE10) treats scrofula (lymphatic tuberculosis) and urticaria; Shenmen (HT7) treats dementia and inappropriate laughter.

For cough with wind-phlegm, Taiyuan (LU9) and Lieque (LU7) are suitable for needling; for emaciation and panting, one should understand the roles of Xuanji (CV15) and Qihai (CV6). Qimen (LR14) and Dadun (LR14) can treat hard, stone-like hernias; Laogong (PC8) and Daling (PC7) can treat chest oppression and skin sores. For palpitations and empty irritability, needling Zusanli (ST36) is indicated; for epidemic malaria, locating Houxi (SI3) is effective. Guixu (GB39), Zusanli (ST36), and Yinjiao (RN7) are suitable for Hongxiangjiao; Jingming (BL1), Taiyang (EX-HN5), and Yutou (SJ23/Sizhukong) address eye conditions relying on these points.

Yangque Dan (jaundice) effectively treats mental fatigue; Changqiang (GV1) and Chengshan (BL57) moxibustion is most excellent for hemorrhoids; Fenglong (ST40) combined with Lung meridian points marvelously treats phlegm-cough; Fengmen (BL12) governs coughs caused by cold pathogen invasion; Tianshu (ST25) regulates critical spleen diarrhea due to external pathogens. Fengchi (GB20) and Guixu (GB39) treat kyphosis; Renzhong (GV26) and Quchi (LI11) treat flaccidity syndromes and kyphosis. Needling Qimen (LR14) is used when Shaoyang disease pathogens have not resolved and meridians do not transmit further; Jiawei (CV15) needling is for epilepsy and mania already manifested, requiring caution against reckless application. Yinjiao (RN7), Shuifen (RN9), and Zusanli (ST36) are suitable for Gu Zhang (ascites); Shangqiu (SP5), Xiijie (ST41), and Qiuxu (GB40) alleviate foot pain; Chize (LU5) regulates tendon tension causing dysfunction; Wanggu (SI4) treats wrist immobility. Shoulder and back pain: Wushu (GB29) combined with back seam points; elbow contracture and pain: Chize (LU5) combined with Quchi (LI11). Wind-dampness clashing in both shoulders: Jianyu (LI15) treats it; heat toxicity abundant in the Sanjiao: Guanchong (TE1) is most suitable. Red and swollen arms: Zhongzhu (TE3) and Yemen (TE2) require careful differentiation. Spleen deficiency leading to jaundice: Wanggu (SI4) and Zhongwan (CV12) leave no doubt. Shaoyang disease without sweat: attacking via Fuliou (KI7) with draining method; Shaoyang disease with sweat: taking Hegu (LI4) should follow syndrome adjustment. To regulate qi rebellion from fullness: Zusanli (ST36) suffices; to revive sunken six pulses: Fuliou (KI7) is miraculous. Zhaohai (KI6) and Zhigou (TE6) unblock constipation; Neiting (ST44) and Zulinqi (GB41) regulate lower abdominal discomfort. Tiantu (CV22) and Danzhong (CV17) treat asthma and cough; Dicang (ST4) and Jiache (ST6) treat facial paralysis; Yingxiang (LI20) is best for nasal obstruction; Jianjing (GB21) relieves arm pain as if grasped; Erjian (LI2) treats toothache; Zhongkui (EX-UE8) resolves vomiting and brings immediate recovery; Bailao (EX-UE9) stops spontaneous sweating; Tongli (HT5) treats heart fright and brings immediate recovery. Da Xiaogu Kong (EX-UE10/11) treat eye ulceration and stop cold tears; Left and Right Taiyang (EX-HN5) treat eye pain and remove blood nevi. Xinshu (BL15) and Shenshu (BL23) treat dream emission due to kidney and waist deficiency; Renzhong (GV26) and Weizhong (BL40) eliminate uncontrollable waist and spine pain from sprains; Taixi (KI3), Kunlun (BL60), and Shenmai (BL62) best treat foot swelling; Yongquan (KI1), Guanyuan (CV4), and Fenglong (ST40) serve as examples for treating Shi Lao (chronic consumption). Yintang (EX-HN3) treats convulsions; Shenting (GV24) regulates head wind headache. Frequent draining of Daling (PC7) and Renzhong (GV26) completely eliminates bad breath; Moxibustion of Daimai (GB26) and Guanyuan (CV4) attacks kidney failure. Heavy and painful legs: needling Huangu (GB29), Xiguan (EX-LE1), and Xiyan (EX-LE2); difficult walking: needling Zusanli (ST36), Zhongfeng (LR4), and Taichong (LR3). Taking Neiguan (PC6) paired with Zhaohai (KI6) treats abdominal masses; pulling Yingxiang (LI20) inside the nose reduces eye redness from heat; abdominal pain with constipation: Daling (PC7) combined with Waiguan (TE5) and Zhigou (TE6); leg wind-damp pain: Juliao (GB29) combined with Huantiao (GB30) and Weizhong (BL40). Shangwan (CV13) and Zhongwan (CV12) treat nine types of heart pain; red and white leukorrhea: seek differences in Zhongji (CV3).

Furthermore, for heart deficiency with heat congestion, Shaochong (HT9) clarifies emergency rescue methods; for blurred vision and blood extravasation, Ganshu (BL18) distinguishes excess and deficiency. These are profound essentials transmitted through the heart; investigate the speed and slowness of manipulation techniques. When encountering unpredictable pain from sprains or injuries, determining specific points is difficult for removal. Compiling these insights for easy recitation, hoping that experts will not disdain them.

Popular opinion holds that the *Yulong Ge* (Jade Dragon Song) was authored by Bian Que, but it is likely a later fabrication under his name. The *Yulong Fu* summarizes and compiles its essential principles.
