As acupuncture developed, the simple bian stones were replaced by stone needles.
随着针灸的发展,简单的砭被石针替代。
Eventually, metal needles began to appear and took the place of stone needles.
最终,金属针开始出现并取代了石针。
These solid needles are made of different metals, such as gold and silver.
这些实心的针由不同的金属制成,例如金和银。
Some acupuncturists today still use gold and silver needles, but the majority have now switched to stainless steel ones.
如今一些针灸师仍在使用金针和银针,但大多数已经改用不锈钢针了。

In addition to the changes in material, the shapes of the needles have also changed over time.
除了材质上的变化,针的形状也随着时间不断改变。
Originally, there were nine different kinds of needles, with variations in shape.
起初,有九种不同类型的针,形状各不相同。
Nowadays, the fine sharp needles that measure usually between 15 and 75 millimetres in length are still used, while most of the others have been replaced by more complex medical instruments.
现在,针灸中仍在使用的是又尖又细、长度一般在15至75毫米之间的针,而大部分其他类型的针都已经被更复杂的医疗器械取代了。
