I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 109 The young man is very interested in acupuncture?

Under Wu Dingzhong's guidance, Lu Xuan came to Clinic 249.

"Doctor Lu, the assistant shouldn't be here until tomorrow. My suggestion is to start next week?"

"No, just today."

Lu Xuan shook his head and continued: "And as you said, Teacher Wu, when I first came here, no patients knew about me. There might not be any patients who would call me. Even if there were, there might only be one or two. I myself It’s no problem to open the bottom on the system.”

Seeing Lu Xuan's insistence, Wu Dingzhong didn't say any more.

"That's right. If you don't publicize it at the health center, there may not be many patients who are new to you."

Wu Dingzhong still recognized this very much.

Those who know Lu Xuan will basically go to Qiushi Street Health Center, but those who don’t know Lu Xuan, even if they come to Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, they will only go to Huang Lao, Ye Lao and Zhang Lao, and Lu Xuan The probability of the number is not high, it can even be said to be very small.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. If you have anything to do, you can come to my office to find me, or find someone else. I have announced your visit to the clinic a few days ago, and I have shown the photos to you. You should be able to recognize it." You came."

Wu Dingzhong said a few words and left.

Lu Xuan stepped forward and opened the door of Clinic 249, then came to the table and sat down.

On the right side of the table are several common medical books, including "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Neijing". When he had nothing to do, Lu Xuan took out a Huangdi Neijing from above and read it.

"Huangdi Neijing" is divided into two parts: "Lingshu" and "Suwen". It is the earliest medical classic and one of the four classic works of traditional medicine.

According to legend, "Huangdi Neijing" was written by Huangdi, so it is named after it.

However, it is generally recognized by later generations that this book was finally formed in the Western Han Dynasty. The author was not one person, but was inherited, supplemented, developed and created by Huang Lao doctors of the past dynasties.

As pointed out in "Huainanzi Xiuwuxun", the name "Yellow Emperor" is intended to trace the origin and adore the origin, so as to explain the early origin of Chinese medical culture.

It is not the words of a moment, nor the hand of one person.

Lu Xuan has read the book "Huangdi Neijing" more than once.

In fact, those who study Chinese medicine can basically turn this classic medical work to pieces.

The same is true for Lu Xuan.

When he was in school, he read this book several times and memorized it many times.

After graduation, I would take it out from time to time and study it carefully to understand its principles.

And with the ability to hear the voice of traditional Chinese medicine, there will be more research on this book, and he has the ability to remember with a photograph, so the frequency of reading such medical books will be even higher.

Lu Xuan will have some new experiences every time he reads this book.

The medical theory of "Huangdi Neijing" is very unique, whether it is from the perspective of human body, disease or disease prevention and treatment.

The so-called uniqueness, of course, has reference points, and the biggest reference point now is Western medicine. Although Western medicine was introduced later, when we study the academic characteristics of the "Nei Jing", we cannot avoid this point no matter what. .

View of the human body, that is, how to view the human body.

On the one hand, it regards heaven, earth and man as a whole, and puts man among heaven, earth, nature, and society.

On the other hand, it is believed that the human body is maintained by the movement of qi and qi machines. The normal movement of qi machines is up and down, in and out. If the qi machines operate normally, the human body will be normal.

Regarding this point, modern medicine also has a new perspective, which is to regard biology and society as a whole. From this point of view, the "Nei Jing" proposed this perspective thousands of years earlier than modern medicine.

A very important issue in the concept of disease is the concept of harmony. If the human body is out of harmony or disharmonious, it is a disease. To be more specific, an imbalance of yin and yang is a disease. Yin and yang include qi, blood, internal organs, etc., and they can all be treated with yin and yang. To summarize, "the way of heaven and earth, the order of all things", "the parent of change, the origin of life and death, and the home of gods", it can use yin and yang to summarize everything.

Simple, not simple, simple, complicated, not complicated, very complicated, too complicated, but it is very simple to sum up. In fact, the most fundamental thing is the imbalance of yin and yang. In the process of human treatment, even if people try every means to reconcile and balance yin and yang, and apply the balance, the disease will occur naturally. Enough.

Therefore, a very important issue in the view of disease is the issue of harmony and imbalance. If there is harmony, it will be normal.

Is it good to have more blood?
It is a good thing to have strong qi and blood, but it is not a good thing to have too much qi and blood and become stagnant.

Everyone has the seven emotions, which is normal, but if it is too much, it will naturally become a bad thing.

Just like being happy is good, being too happy is not good, and being too happy is also sad. "Happiness slows down the breath", this is also an imbalance, and the imbalance of yin and yang makes it easy to get sick.

It can be said that the "Internal Classics" established its own view of disease based on the concept of "strange, constant and constant change". "Strange" means special, "constant" means normal, "chang" means normal, and "change" means variation.

Normal is healthy, abnormal is disease. The harmony, order and unity of yin and yang in the body is healthy, and the reverse is pathological.Therefore, the "Nei Jing" regarding the analysis of diseases can be said to be the outline for our study of traditional Chinese medicine.

The concept of prevention and treatment is actually to prevent and treat diseases from the perspective of overall function and harmony.

Its characteristics are integrity, function, and dynamic harmony. For example, if you drink a bowl of soup and drink it, it is impossible to say that the medicine will go to one place and not to another place.

Another example is that acupuncture at Hegu only cures toothache and not anything else. It is also not necessarily true. Instead, it should be viewed from the perspective of the whole person, and more importantly, from the perspective of regulating functions. It does not mean that we do not look at the body, only emphasize the function, and there is no body. How can it be functional?
But when observing and treating, function needs to be put first.

When adjusting functions, it is also a dynamic process, not fixed.

It's just like an experience prescription. If a prescription that has been used for a long time is applied to a certain person, it may not work.

This has to mention one point, that is, although this is an experience formula, but when the disease changes, the situation changes, and the environment changes, an experience formula will naturally lose the effect it should have.

Therefore, at this time, the experience method must also change.

Another example is the five luck and six qi, this year's luck is different from last year's luck, the first half of this year's qi is "Taiyin Wet Chieftain", so it is humid, but the second half of the year is "the sun is cold in the spring", that is, the cold is severe , so it is also a cold, the prescription for the first half of the year will be different from the prescription for the second half of the year.

It sounds mysterious, but this is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.

Many times, the West criticizes traditional Chinese medicine as a metaphysics with no scientific truth in it. But in fact, while criticizing traditional Chinese medicine, the West also introduces traditional Chinese medicine on a large scale.

Traditional Chinese medicine has become a global phenomenon.

Many Western countries have even set up TCM courses specifically in universities.

While frantically snatching up traditional Chinese medicine, they are also trying every means to cultivate their own traditional Chinese medicine.

Whether it’s Kampo in Japan, traditional Chinese medicine in South Korea, or the United States where traditional Chinese medicine is almost everywhere...

Here, one more point has to be mentioned.

In recent years, the American public and the medical community have gradually realized that traditional Chinese medicine is safe, effective, and versatile, and more and more Americans are willing to accept TCM treatment.

Nevada in the United States passed a bill legalizing traditional Chinese medicine as early as 1973. This was also the first "Traditional Chinese Medicine Law" in the history of the United States.

Not only acupuncture treatment, but also the application of traditional Chinese medicine is officially legalized. The bill also recognizes the independent status of traditional Chinese medicine and protects traditional Chinese medicine from the influence of western medicine.Two years later, the state further amended the TCM Act to require insurance companies to pay for acupuncture consultations.

Moreover, 34 states in the United States currently recognize the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Licensing (NCCAOM) exam. Except for a few states that issue their own exams, this certificate can be called a national unified employment license.

It even regards traditional Chinese medicine as an independent medical system, spending more than 1.2 million US dollars every year on the research and development of complementary and alternative medicine, and there are dozens of research projects on traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

If Chinese medicine is really a metaphysics and there is really no science as criticized by the West, why should we criticize it while simultaneously attacking Chinese medicine?
No one is a fool, not even these Western powers.

When treating them as idiots, perhaps, they are still laughing at us as the real idiots, and they regard Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years and still stands in the medical field, as a tiger and dross.

On the one hand, it is the desperate clamor of some people with ulterior motives that Chinese medicine is unscientific and should be banned; on the other hand, it is the crazy layout and expansion of global capital in the world Chinese medicine market, rushing to find talents and secret recipes, and rushing to register patents and trademarks.

Foreigners are not stupid. Although they still can't explain the six meridians and six qi of traditional Chinese medicine, and they still can't understand the rise and fall of yin and yang, as the effective treatment method recognized by the world, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is a fact that they are sought after.

Since the world entered modern times, under the world pattern dominated by Western civilization, Chinese medicine has been pushed step by step. What is strange is that in the process of "survival and death", not only has Chinese medicine not been obliterated or abandoned, but it is still in the 21st century. Today, civilization has spread widely to many countries and regions, which is unique in the world!
Regrettably, most Chinese people never understand in their lifetime: losing is always easier than possessing.

It must be said that it is ironic that while this 5000-year-old traditional medicine is gaining ground abroad, it is gradually shrinking at home.

Lu Xuan looked at the "Nei Jing" in front of him, and he was a little lost in thought. At this moment, he thought a lot. Compared with Western medicine in China, Chinese medicine is indeed at a considerable disadvantage. However, with the revitalization of Chinese medicine in the country, more and more people are willing to believe in Chinese medicine.

Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall is just the tip of the iceberg, but what Lu Xuan saw was the prosperity of Chinese medicine, which is re-emerging at an extremely fast speed.

After reading for a while, Lu Xuan closed the "Nei Jing" and put it back to its original position.

Lu Xuan raised his head and glanced outside the door. Because the 249 clinic was in the back, there was almost no one at the door.

However, the noise from the second floor was endless.

"No one has registered, I should have advertised it in the health center."

Although he had expected it for a long time, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when there were no patients at all.

However, it’s not that he didn’t want to publicize it.

He just informed without being completely sure that if something unexpected happened midway, he really couldn't afford to lose this person.

Do what you say first, and follow it later.

Seeing that there were no patients, Lu Xuan did not continue to sit in the clinic. He stood up and walked to the door, looking at the dense crowd sitting outside, and then looked at one clinic after another.

The doors of most clinics are closed. There are too many people and too many noises. Leaving the door open can easily affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. In this way, the patient's privacy can also be protected, killing two birds with one stone.

Because it's Saturday, the big boss who doesn't usually visit the clinic is here today.

Lu Xuan saw on the door sign Huang Lao, a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and an elder from a family that inherited traditional Chinese medicine. Seeing that these two people were also having consultations today, Lu Xuan wanted to go in and take a look. It could be seen that there were several people in the two clinics. The patient was waiting, but after thinking about it he still didn't go in.

So, I didn't stop until I came to the acupuncture clinic.

Different from other consultation rooms, the door of the acupuncture clinic is always open, and there are two or three doctors in white coats sitting inside.

Lu Xuan glanced down subconsciously and found that he had not put on the white coat hanging in the consulting room, so he could only shake his head and smile.

Lu Xuan came to Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association for the first time. He had always thought that this place only had traditional Chinese medicine and internal medicine, but he didn't expect that there were acupuncture, cupping and other services.

Seeing that there were several patients receiving acupuncture treatment, Lu Xuan thought about it, and walked in curiously.

When Lu Xuan walked into the acupuncture clinic, Zhou Jiande, who was giving acupuncture to the patient, subconsciously raised his head and glanced: "Young man, sit down for a while. I'll show it to the rest of the people before I show it to you."

After saying that, he ignored Lu Xuan and seriously gave Xingzhen encouragement to the patient at hand.

Lu Xuan was about to explain, but when he saw that the other party ignored him, he had to give up. After taking a look at the layout of the acupuncture clinic, he turned his attention to Zhou Jiande, who was performing acupuncture on the patient.

After watching it for a while, Lu Xuan had to admit that compared to an old Chinese doctor like Zhou Jiande who had been immersed in acupuncture for decades, his skills were still inferior.

Perhaps Zhou Jiande may not be as good as cheating in syndrome differentiation, but when it comes to techniques, Lu Xuan feels that there are really few who can compare with Dr. Zhou in front of him.

The doctors who can be invited by Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association for consultation are among the best in the country, not to mention in Yongcheng.

Comparing skills with Dr. Zhou, Lu Xuan felt that his skills were not yet up to that level.

Because of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but get closer and observe carefully.

Zhou Jiande's acupuncture technique is very delicate, no matter whether it is needle pricking or lifting, pulling and twisting, his proficiency has reached an extremely high level. Lu Xuan compared it, and if it were him who pricked this acupuncture point, the effect would not be as good as Zhou Jiande's acupuncture. good.

From this point, we can see how good Dr. Zhou's acupuncture foundation is.

As for Lu Xuan, the only difference in proficiency is not at 01:30.

While watching, Lu Xuan wrote down the details of Zhou Jiande's acupuncture, thinking about trying the acupuncture on himself later.

When performing needle twisting in acupuncture, you need to practice more. If you don’t have a patient, you can practice it on your own. Anyway, there is no harm in pricking some acupoints more.

This is also the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

Western medicine, no matter what kind of medical devices or drugs, basically relies on patients to test the drugs.

As for Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners generally test their own medicines, and the same is true for acupuncture and moxibustion. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine practitioners who are good at acupuncture and moxibustion use themselves to test needles at the beginning, and then they dare to perform acupuncture on patients.

Perhaps because Lu Xuan was looking at it seriously, Zhou Jiande, who was performing acupuncture on the patient, suddenly said, "Young man is very interested in acupuncture?"
