Thank you, Phil. I did to search Google and find many
references, though I am not sure which one is referred
to on the exam. I think it is part of so-called "Five
Elements School."

I don't know. In China, we call needling bilatrel
LI04-Hegu and LV03-Taichong "opening the Four Gates"
(not the "Four Needles"). But this is not special
technique, just name for point combination. Is this
it? Does anyone else know?

Thank you for your reply,
