夫用针时，先行龙，左行右捻，凡得九数，却行虎，右行左捻，得六数，乃先龙后虎而
转之，得气补之，故阳中有阴，阴中有阳，乃得反之道，使邪气和其正。
夫用针法，以手大指自前捻入，左大指向后捻入，经得气向前推转，以大指弹其针，引
其阳气，按而提之，其气自行。如气不应，根据前再施。
夫下针时，调气得匀，以针上下九入六出之数，按阴阳，其病自愈矣。
夫用针之时，先入五分之中，乃得九阳之数。如觉热，便进入一寸，行六阴之数，以得
气为应，夫如是可治先寒后热之病。
夫用针之时，先进入一寸之中，行六阴之数，如患人自觉微凉，即退针渐出五分之中，
却行九阳之数，故得阴中隐阳，可治先热后寒之病。
夫用针时，先行九阳之数，入于五分中，得气便进之，渐进一寸之内，三慢出，三紧入
。如觉热，紧闭其穴，实时热气复生，其冷病自除。如不效，根据前再施。
夫用针时，先进入分寸之内，行六阴之数。若得气便进伸，渐退至五分之中，三慢入，
三紧出，其针自紧，徐徐举之，得冷气渐至，其热自愈，不效再施。
夫用针之时，先进七分之中，行纯阳之数，若得气便深刺，微伸提之，却退之至原处，
又得气，根据前法，可治 癖症瘕之病。
夫用针之时，先行纯阳之数，若觉针下气满，便倒卧其针，令患人吸气五口，其针气上
行，此乃进针之法也。可治肘臂腰腿身疼走注之病。
使用针刺时，先施行“龙”法，即左手持针向右捻转，凡达到九的倍数；接着施行“虎”法，即右手持针向左捻转，达到六的倍数。这是先龙后虎的运转方式，旨在获得经气并起到补益作用，故谓阳中有阴，阴中有阳，这符合反治之道，能使邪气调和正气。
使用针刺的手法是：用右手大拇指从前方捻入，左手指（此处指辅助手或特定手法中的左手配合，原文语境下多指操作细节）向后方捻入。待得气后，向前推转针体，并用大拇指弹击针柄，以引导阳气上升，同时按压并提插针体，经气便会自行运行。如果经气没有反应，则按照前面的方法再次施术。
在下针时，调理经气使其均匀，运用“九入六出”的数理规律，顺应阴阳变化，疾病自然痊愈。
在使用针刺时，先将针进入五分深，施行九阳之数。如果患者感觉发热，便将针再深入一寸，施行六阴之数，以得气为应验。像这样可以治疗先寒后热的病证。
在使用针刺时，先将针进入一寸深，施行六阴之数。如果患者自觉微微发凉，就将针逐渐退出至五分深，再施行九阳之数。这就是所谓的“阴中隐阳”，可以治疗先热后寒的病证。
在使用针刺时，先施行九阳之数，将针进入五分深，得气后继续进针，逐渐深入一寸以内。然后缓慢出针三次，快速进针三次。如果感觉发热，立即紧闭穴位，热气随即复生，冷病自然消除。如果无效，按照前面的方法再次施术。
在使用针刺时，先将针进入分寸深，施行六阴之数。如果得气便继续进针伸展，逐渐退至五分深，然后缓慢进针三次，快速出针三次。此时针体自紧，徐徐提起针体，感到冷气渐至，热病自愈。如果无效，再次施术。
在使用针刺时，先将针进入七分深，施行纯阳之数。如果得气便深刺，轻微伸展并提针，然后退回到原处。再次得气后，按照前面的方法操作，可以治疗癖积症瘕的疾病。
在使用针刺时，先施行纯阳之数，如果感觉针下气感充实，便将针倒卧（平放），让患者吸气五次，使针气上行。这是进针的方法。可以治疗肘臂、腰腿及身体疼痛游走不定的病证。
When using acupuncture, first perform the "Dragon" method: with the left hand holding the needle, twist to the right until a number of nine is reached. Then perform the "Tiger" method: with the right hand (or following the specific manipulation sequence), twist to the left until a number of six is reached. This constitutes the rotation of Dragon followed by Tiger, aiming to obtain Qi and provide tonification. Thus, Yang contains Yin, and Yin contains Yang, adhering to the principle of contrary treatment, thereby harmonizing pathogenic factors with healthy Qi.
The technique for using needles involves inserting the needle by twisting forward with the thumb of the dominant hand and backward with the other hand. Once Qi is obtained, push and rotate the needle forward, flick the needle handle with the thumb to guide the ascending of Yang Qi, and press while lifting the needle, allowing the Qi to circulate spontaneously. If there is no response from the Qi, repeat the procedure as described previously.
Upon inserting the needle, regulate the Qi to ensure uniformity. By applying the numerical principles of "nine insertions and six withdrawals" in accordance with Yin and Yang, the disease will heal naturally.
When using acupuncture, initially insert the needle five fen deep, performing the number of Nine Yang. If heat is perceived, deepen the insertion to one cun and perform the number of Six Yin, taking the arrival of Qi as the desired response. This method can treat conditions characterized by initial cold followed by heat.
When using acupuncture, initially insert the needle one cun deep, performing the number of Six Yin. If the patient feels slightly cool, gradually withdraw the needle to five fen deep, then perform the number of Nine Yang. This is known as "Yin hiding within Yang," which can treat conditions characterized by initial heat followed by cold.
When using acupuncture, first perform the number of Nine Yang, inserting the needle five fen deep. Upon obtaining Qi, continue advancing the needle gradually into the interior of one cun. Then, withdraw the needle slowly three times and insert it quickly three times. If heat is felt, immediately close the acupoint; the hot sensation will return promptly, eliminating the cold pathology. If ineffective, repeat the procedure as described.
When using acupuncture, initially insert the needle to the depth of one cun, performing the number of Six Yin. If Qi is obtained, advance and extend the needle, then gradually withdraw to five fen deep. Insert the needle slowly three times and withdraw it quickly three times. The needle will feel tight; lift it slowly. As a cold sensation gradually arises, the heat pathology will heal. If ineffective, repeat the procedure.
When using acupuncture, initially insert the needle seven fen deep, performing the pure Yang number. If Qi is obtained, deepen the puncture, slightly extend and lift the needle, then withdraw it back to the original position. Upon obtaining Qi again, follow the previous method. This can treat disorders such as accumulations and masses (Pi and Jia).
When using acupuncture, first perform the pure Yang number. If a sense of fullness of Qi is felt under the needle, lay the needle horizontally (flat) and instruct the patient to inhale five times, causing the Qi of the needle to ascend. This is a method of advancing the needle. It can treat wandering pain in the elbows, arms, waist, legs, and body.
