黄帝问日:愿闻刺浅深之分。岐伯对日:刺骨者无伤筋，刺筋者无伤肉，刺肉者无伤脉，刺脉者无伤皮;刺皮者无伤肉，刺肉者无伤筋，刺筋者无伤骨。
Yellow Emperor asked:"What are the differences of the depth of pricking in acupuncture therapy?" Qibo answered:"In deep pricking; when pricking the bone, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the tendon, when pricking the tendon, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the muscle, when pricking the muscle, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the vessel, when pricking the vessel, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the skin; in shallow pricking; when pricking the skin, one must not prick deeply to hurt the muscle, when pricking the muscle, one must not prick deeply to hurt the tendon, when pricking the tendon, one
must not prick deeply to hurt the bone."
帝日:余未知其所谓，愿闻其解。岐伯曰:刺骨无伤筋者，针至筋而去，不及骨也;刺筋无伤肉者，至肉而去，不及筋也;刺肉无伤脉者，至脉而去，不及肉也;刺脉无伤皮者，至皮而去，不及脉也。
Yellow Emperor said: "I do not quite understand what you mean, please explain it to me." Qibo said: "The so called when pricking the bone, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the tendon means; when pricking the bone, it must not reach the tendon only which has not yet reached the bone, and stops the pricking or pulls off the needle; the so called when pricking the tendon, one must not prick shallowly to hurt the muscle means: when pricking the tendon, one must not prick shallowly to reach the muscle only which has not yet reached the tendon and stops the pricking or pulls off the needle; the so called when pricking the vessel, one must not prick shallowly to burt the skin means: do not prick shalllowly to reach the skin only which has not yet reached the vessel, and stops the pricking or pulls off the needle.
所谓刺皮无伤肉者，病中皮中，针入皮中，无伤肉也;刺肉无伤筋者，过肉中筋也;刺筋无伤骨者，过筋中骨也，此之谓反也。
"The so called when pricking the skin, do not hurt the muscle means: when the disease is in the skin, only the skin should be pricked, one must not prick excessively to hurt the muscle. The so called when pricking the muscle, do not hurt the tendon means: the pricking should only reach the muscle where the disease resides, if the pricking is excessive, it will hurt the tendon. The so called when pricking the tendon, do not hurt the bone means: the pricking should only reach the tendon where the dieease resides, if the pricking is excessive, it is the irregular handling of acupuncture."
