Abstract： The nine methods for treating qi are proposed by Professor ZHANG Xijian， a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner， who follows the guidance of Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). The nine methods for treating qi are used based on the changes in pulse qi，such as ascending and descending，floating and sinking，strong and weak，gathering and scattered，and filling degree，and can be divided into the methods of directing qi downward，directing qi upward，constraining qi，dissipating qi，unblocking qi，supplementing qi，draining qi，venting qi，and softening qi. This paper expounds on the pulse manifestations and their characteristics applicable to each of the nine methods for treating qi，as well as the rise and fall changes of qi movement indicated by the pulse manifestations，so as to guide the selection of acupoints and acupuncture and moxibustion，and adjust the qi mechanism of the human body pertinently.
