《千金方》说：使用针刺的人，必须先明确穴位。补虚泻实，不要违背其原理。针刺皮毛腠理时不要伤及肌肉；针刺肌肉时不要伤及筋脉；针刺筋脉时不要伤及骨髓；针刺骨髓时不要伤及诸络。损伤筋膜者，会出现惊视、失魂的症状；损伤血脉者，会出现烦乱、失神的症状；损伤皮毛者，会出现气逆上冲、失魄的症状；损伤骨髓者，会出现呻吟、失志的症状；损伤肌肉者，会出现四肢不能收持、失智的症状。这称为“五乱”，是由针刺不当引起的，如果再次误治，就有死亡的危险。

另一种说法：
黄帝问道：凡是遇到大风、大雨、大阴天、大寒冷天，可以施灸吗？既然有的情况不得施灸，那么有什么损益呢？岐伯回答说：在大风中施灸，会导致阴阳严重错乱；在大雨中施灸，会导致经络气血运行不畅；在大阴天施灸，会让人气机逆乱；在大寒天施灸，会导致血脉凝滞蓄积。在这些日子施灸，会使病情加重，使人短寿。所谓大风天不可施灸，是指复时（指气候异常反复之时）不可加用艾火。所谓大寒天不可施灸，是指盛冬凌晨之时。所谓大雨天施灸，只要下雨当天就可以施，虽然偶尔会有突发急症，但如果又遇上大雨，这种情况下只可施灸。所谓大阴天施灸，是指各种云雾天气，总括来说凡人初患急病之时，终究难以施灸。经文说：“当其盛也，慎勿哀伤。”这就是指初得重病时的状况。
The *Qianjin Fang* states: Those who use acupuncture must first clarify the acupoints. Tonify deficiency and drain excess, do not deviate from the principles. When needling the skin and hair follicles (mao-fu) and interstices (cou-li), do not damage the muscles; when needling the muscles, do not damage the sinews and vessels (jin-mai); when needling the sinews and vessels, do not damage the bone marrow; when needling the bone marrow, do not damage the collateral vessels (luo). Damaging the fascia leads to staring eyes and loss of Hun (ethereal soul). Damaging the blood vessels leads to restlessness and loss of Shen (spirit). Damaging the skin and hair follicles leads to rebellious Qi and loss of Po (corporeal soul). Damaging the bone marrow leads to groaning and loss of Zhi (willpower). Damaging the muscles leads to inability to control the four limbs and loss of Zhi (intellect). These are called the "Five Disorders" (Wu Luan), arising from improper needling. If further mismanagement occurs, there is a risk of death.

Another method:
The Yellow Emperor asked: Regarding moxibustion, can it be performed during strong winds, heavy rain, severe overcast weather, or extreme cold? Since it is forbidden in these conditions, what are the harms? Qibo replied: Performing moxibustion during strong wind causes a major disorder of Yin and Yang. Performing moxibustion during heavy rain impedes the flow of meridians and vessels. Performing moxibustion during severe overcast weather causes rebellious Qi. Performing moxibustion during extreme cold causes stagnation of blood vessels. Moxibustion on such days aggravates the disease and shortens lifespan. "Strong wind" refers to times of unstable weather where fire and moxa should not be added. "Extreme cold" refers to the early morning of deep winter. "Heavy rain" refers to rainy days; although sudden illness might occur, encountering heavy rain makes moxibustion difficult or contraindicated (Note: The text implies caution or specific conditions where it might be allowed only in acute emergencies despite rain, but generally warns against it). "Severe overcast" refers to cloudy and foggy conditions. Generally, for common people suffering sudden acute illness, treatment is difficult under these conditions. The Classic says: "When the pathogen is at its peak, do not grieve/harm." This describes the state of newly acquired severe illness.
