Two-handed needle insertion: Two-handed needle insertion can be divided into three methods: finger-cutting needle insertion, needle-clamping needle insertion, needle-lifting needle insertion and needle-relaxing needle insertion. These four needle insertion methods are mainly determined according to the length of the body part and the filament needle. The needle-breaking method is suitable for acupuncture points at the joints of limbs, as well as short and medium needles; Needle clamping method is suitable for hip acupoints and medium-long filiform needles; Lifting and pinching acupuncture is suitable for acupuncture points and short needles with shallow skin such as children and face; Relaxation needling method is suitable for abdominal and skin relaxation points and short needles;

It is characterized by little pain and is suitable for most acupoints and short needles.
