Chapter 112 Learning Acupuncture from Mr. Zhou
Facing Mr. Zhou's unsparing praise, Lu Xuan didn't know how to respond, so he could only smirk.

He only mentioned his photographic memory to Ji Xiuwen, and he didn't want too many people to know about it.

Ji Xiuwen is very knowledgable. Although he says he likes to join in the fun, he still keeps his mouth shut and usually would not tell such things.

Of course, he was able to achieve such achievements in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion in less than ten days.

Without them, let alone ten days, ten months may not be able to reach this level.

Not to mention anything else, just one acupoint can give Lu Xuan a headache.

Zhou Jiande glanced at Lu Xuan and saw that Lu Xuan did not show any pride because of his praise. He couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then explained the filiform acupuncture method to Lu Xuan in detail:

"The filiform needling method refers to the whole process from needle insertion to needle withdrawal, which requires high skill and standard operation, and there are four kinds of needle insertion methods.

Finger-cut needling method, also called claw-cut needling method, press the thumb or index fingernail on the acupoint, hold the needle in the right hand, and pierce the acupoint with the needle tip close to the edge of the nail. This method is suitable for short-needle insertion. Needle. "

Zhou Jiande explained while performing acupuncture, and Lu Xuan listened intently. As far as acupuncture is concerned, what he lacks most now is the technique. In the final analysis, the frequency of acupuncture is too few, the proficiency is not enough, and there is no one to handle it. Pointing, the method is more casual, not so standard.

Of course, being casual is not bad.

When Zhou Jiande inserts the needle, his technique is very casual, but behind this casualness are decades of experience.

And Lu Xuan's casualness is really casual.

At this time, even Zhou Jiande's two students gathered around the patient after getting the electroacupuncture done. After giving Lu Xuan a thumbs up, they observed him seriously.

The arrival of the two people did not affect Zhou Jiande. He continued to explain the second method of inserting the needle: "This second method is the clamping method of inserting the needle. Take a look at it. Use the thumb and index finger of your left hand to clamp the cotton. Wrap the ball around the needle tip and aim it at the acupuncture point. When pressing down with the thumb and index finger of the pressing hand, the puncturing hand will insert the needle into the acupoint. This method is suitable for inserting long needles.

The third method is diastolic needle insertion. Use the thumb and index finger to stretch the skin of the acupoint to both sides to make the skin taut and easy to insert the needle. This method is suitable for acupoints with loose skin.

There is also the lifting and pinching acupuncture method, where the skin of the acupoint is pinched with the thumb and index finger of the pressing hand, and the pricking hand needle is inserted from the upper end or side of the pinched part.This method is suitable for acupuncture points with thin skin, such as Yintang acupoints on the head and face. This method is best used when inserting needles. "

There are four acupoints, four acupuncture methods, and different techniques. Lu Xuan also knows these four acupuncture methods, but this is the first time he has watched an acupuncture master's demonstration up close, and he was mesmerized for a while.

Mr. Zhou's technique is not only standard, but also pleasing to the eye. Unlike him, his needle insertion technique is rough, but he is a bit like a quack doctor who has learned a little but not fully.

"Do you remember it?"

"If you don't remember it, I'll show it to you again."

Lu Xuan had a photographic memory. Even if Zhou Jiande inserted the needle faster, he could still see it clearly and keep these actions firmly in his mind.

However, Zhou Jiande's two students were a bit miserable. Facing Zhou Jiande's gaze, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

They seem to have seen it and can understand it, but remembering it is not something that can be done once or twice.

Between nodding and shaking his head, Zhou Jiande felt the gap in talent for the first time.

In fact, his two students had always watched him demonstrate how to insert the needle, but after demonstrating it so many times, they couldn't do it to the standard when actually inserting the needle.

Even sometimes when asked, I still don’t remember the difference between these four methods of acupuncture.

And Lu Xuan could remember after hearing it once, this talent is really a bit scary.

However, Zhou Jiande didn't know whether Lu Xuan really remembered it or pretended to remember it, so he decided to let Lu Xuan give it a try.

Remember or not, you can get the rough idea with just one injection.

"Doctor Lu, you can try the remaining acupuncture points with four different acupuncture methods."

Lu Xuan also knew what kind of thoughts Zhou Jiande had. At this time, he was not timid because of this, but was eager to try. He remembered things very well and learned things quickly. Although Zhou Jiande only demonstrated once, Lu Xuan felt that he You should have learned at least [-]%, and the remaining [-]% will have to be accumulated by continuously inserting needles.

According to Zhou Jiande's demonstration, Lu Xuan quickly located the acupuncture point and inserted the needle.

Taking out the needle, finding the acupuncture point, and inserting the needle were done in one go without any pause. After a while, the four acupuncture points were already trembling under Lu Xuan's needle.

Zhou Jiande looked at Lu Xuan in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Is this really just one look?
If he hadn't seen Lu Xuan get a needle before, he would have wondered if the young man in front of him was hiding his strength.

Although the four methods of needle insertion are not as skilled and smooth as Zhou Jiande himself, in Zhou Jiande's opinion, Lu Xuan has mastered at least [-]% of them, and the rest only needs to increase his proficiency and he can master them naturally.

Are there really monsters in this world?

Zhou Jiande exclaimed inwardly, he thought Lu Xuan said he remembered it, but the young people wanted to save face, but they didn't know much about it. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan's needle insertion technique was [-]% of the standard.

If this was years of practice, Zhou Jiande wouldn't be so surprised, but Lu Xuan could do it to such an extent just by looking at it once. What is this if he's not a monster?
You know, his two students have seen him demonstrate it at least a dozen times, and they still can't grasp [-]% of it.

What people are most afraid of is comparison. If you don't compare, you don't know how big the gap is.

Zhou Jiande subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the two students. Although they didn't know much, they still had insight. Lu Xuan's needle insertion technique was far superior to them.

But before, Lu Xuan was actually no different from the two of them, his needle insertion technique was extremely rough.

The two of them were also blushing at the sight of Zhou Jiande at this moment, and they were too embarrassed.

Zhou Jiande also saw that the two of them were hit hard. He didn't want to say anything. After all, it was a good thing to let the two of them be hit a little bit. But after thinking about it, he comforted him: "You don't need to be secretly belittling. Doctor Lu is Liannan after all." It’s normal for the doctors at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to learn quickly. When you are qualified to come to Liannan for consultation, I’m afraid you’ll be able to do it after just one visit.”

Zhou Jiande said that, but in his heart he actually put a big question mark on his words.

What he's thinking now is, don't talk about Lu Xuan, if it's other people who are attending the clinic at the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall at the moment, can they do this after just one visit?

I'm afraid it's impossible, otherwise what would be his efforts over the past few decades?
Lu Xuan can do it because his talent is high enough, which is much more important than hard work.

"Compared with inserting acupuncture, it is relatively more difficult to enhance the feeling of acupuncture, that is, to perform acupuncture and gain Qi."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiande's two students looked at each other and asked quickly: "Teacher, when it comes to acupuncture, although we are not as talented as Dr. Lu in this area, we can master it after practicing for a period of time. As for what you said about using acupuncture to achieve qi, we have never been able to figure it out. Can you tell us in detail how difficult it is and where the difficulty lies?"

"It's hard to describe how difficult it is."

Zhou Jiande thought for a while and said: "During the acupuncture process, correctly grasping the angle and depth of acupuncture is an important part of enhancing the acupuncture feel, improving the efficacy, and preventing accidents. The angle and depth of acupuncture have a significant impact on the efficacy of acupuncture. The impact of acupuncture is great, especially in terms of deqi. If acupuncture does not depress qi, it will naturally have no effect.

Acupuncture, also known as acupuncture, refers to inserting needles into acupuncture points and performing certain techniques in order to induce acupuncture sensation in the patient.

Deqi is also called acupuncture sensation. After we acupuncture the patient's acupoints, the patient will feel soreness, numbness, swelling, heaviness, etc. due to the acupuncture, or the sensation will spread along a certain part and in a certain direction. At the same time, there will be a sinking feeling under our fingers. Tight feeling.

If there is no Qi, the doctor will feel empty under the needle, and the patient will naturally feel no soreness, numbness, swelling, or heaviness.

"Biao You Fu" said: "It is light, smooth and slow, and the future is coming, and it is heavy and tight. The arrival of the breath is like the ups and downs of a fish swallowing the bait; the breath has not yet arrived, like the depth of a quiet hall in a leisurely place."

Whether the Qi is obtained and the speed of the Qi arrival are directly related to the acupuncture treatment effect and prognosis.

Generally speaking, when the Qi is obtained quickly, the curative effect is good; when the Qi is obtained slowly, the curative effect is poor; if the Qi is not obtained all the time, it may be ineffective and the prognosis will be poor.

There is a detailed explanation in "Lingshu Nine Needles and Twelve Origins": "Prick it but the qi does not arrive, and there is no question of how many it is; prick it and the qi arrives, and then go away... The essential point of stabbing, the qi arrives but it is effective, Faith in effect is like the wind blowing clouds, and clarity is like seeing the sky."

"Golden Needle Fu" also said: "Qi is fast and effective, and Qi is slow and effective."

Therefore, getting qi or not is an important part of acupuncture and the key to acupuncture treatment. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiande smiled and said: "It is not possible to master the needle overnight. What you have to do now is to master the needle first. As for the needle, it will take a long time to try and think in a short time." It is unlikely to fully grasp it.

Let's put it this way, the vast majority of acupuncture scholars, no more than 5% can master the acupuncture and gain qi in a short period of time. I have also taught many students over the years. If you count carefully, there are about a hundred people. But there are only three people who can graduate within three years. You and I have only a short time, so there is no need to rush. "

Hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, among the students that Zhou Jiande taught, their performance is pretty good.

Of course, compared with those three people, it may be a lot worse.

"Okay, you can try it."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately stopped: "Dr. Zhou, I won't do this. You are treating me as a guinea pig in an experiment!"

The patient disagreed, but Zhou Jiande didn't care. He pointed to their thighs and said, "Sit down and try the needle on yourself."

The two sat down without saying anything. Although they had not studied acupuncture for a long time, they also studied traditional Chinese medicine. Naturally, they knew that the acupuncture points on the thighs were relatively easy to reach for people who learned acupuncture on their own, and there was generally no danger in pricking them. .

The two of them each took the needle box and started testing it on themselves.

Zhou Jiande was quite concerned about his two students. At this moment, his eyes fell on the two of them, and he watched them practice quietly.

Sometimes, I have to say that talent is too important.

These two students of mine have been with me for a while, but the needle insertion is not as smooth as Lu Xuan's, and he is not as proficient in acupuncture and Deqi, otherwise he would not let them operate the electroacupuncture.

Electro-acupuncture is much simpler than traditional acupuncture. It is enough to insert the needle accurately. Others that are rough are not a big problem and have little impact on the curative effect.

However, traditional acupuncture and moxibustion are not good. The technique, angle and depth must be perfect to maximize the effect.

If you can't get Qi during acupuncture, and the patient doesn't feel soreness, swelling and numbness, naturally there will be no effect.

"Do you feel your fingers?"

The two of them were very embarrassed and shook their heads.

"Is there any soreness and numbness on your legs? You are piercing yourself now, which is actually the easiest to feel. After all, you can not only feel it through your fingers, but also whether there is any soreness and numbness at the needle insertion site. Feel it.”

"still none."

Zhou Jiande had no choice but to take action: "Do you have it now?"

One of them raised his head and exclaimed, "Yes."

Zhou Jiande glanced at him: "Remember this feeling, it doesn't matter if the needle insertion is rough, but as long as the acupuncture can be used to gain Qi, it will be effective. But if you can't even apply the acupuncture to gain Qi, it will be useless no matter how standard the needle is. "

"Ah."

Zhou Jiande explained the same words and actions to another person.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jiande looked at Lu Xuan: "Doctor Lu, you should try it too."

Naturally, Lu Xuan would not refuse. He was about to lift up his trousers and try the needle on himself, but Zhou Jiande reached out and stopped him. He bent down and pulled up his trouser legs, patted his thigh and said, "Try it on me. "

"This is not very good." Lu Xuan hesitated.

It didn't matter to him if he tried the acupuncture on himself, but if he tried the acupuncture on Zhou Jiande, he felt somewhat burdened.

However, Zhou Jiande didn't care much about this. Instead, he smiled and said: "I just want to see how talented Dr. Lu is. I can see the technique of inserting the needle, but it is difficult to tell with the naked eye how fast the Qi is obtained." Judgment, the best way is to get angry with me so that I can feel it."

Seeing Zhou Jiande's insistence, Lu Xuan couldn't refuse anymore.

Moreover, what Zhou Jiande said is right. Inserting acupuncture can be distinguished with the naked eye, but acupuncture is possible but cannot be used to obtain qi.

As Zhou Jiande said, it is the best choice to test the needle on himself.

"bring it on!"

Zhou Jiande patted his big white legs proudly, as if he was ready to do whatever he wanted.

Although due to age, the skin on the legs is not as tight as that of young people, but the whiteness is really white. From this point, it can be seen that Comrade Zhou Jiande usually takes good care of his parts.

"it is good."

Without thinking too much, Lu Xuan took out the needle from the needle box.

Zhou Jiande's expression also became serious. After looking up at Lu Xuan, his eyes never left Lu Xuan's hand holding the needle.

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

Compared to his two students, Lu Xuan's needle-holding hand didn't tremble at all. Just for this, he was much better than his two students.

When the two of them were giving themselves acupuncture, their hands were trembling slightly because he was watching. However, Lu Xuan was able to feel calm even when Zhou Jiande was given acupuncture. This was not something ordinary people could do.
