Chapter 113

"Doctor Lu's talent is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Just one glance made Zhou Jiande a little fondle admiringly. If Lu Xuan wasn't the doctor invited by the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he would have wanted to take Lu Xuan as his apprentice. With this talent, it wouldn't take long for him to become a teacher. Years... No, maybe in a year or two, you will be better than blue.

Zhou Jiande looked pityful.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two students who were seriously watching Lu Xuan's needlework, with the disgust in their eyes.

Sure enough, people are afraid of comparison.

Originally, he was quite satisfied with these two students, but now after seeing Lu Xuan, he had the urge to expel these two students from his school.

"Mr. Zhou, please call me Xiao Lu." Lu Xuan bared his teeth and smiled.

He is now half a student of Zhou Lao, so how can he let the other party call him Dr. Zhou?

However, Zhou Jiande shook his head: "You are also a consulting doctor invited by Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. In terms of status, you and I are the same. No one is nobler than the other. The only thing I am better than you is that I am a little older. In other aspects, In this place, people judge their age based on their age, but in my place, that kind of thing is not popular. In the field of Chinese medicine, heroes are judged based on their ability, and whoever is more powerful is the senior."

Lu Xuan didn't say any more, and quickly inserted the needle. When he felt that the needle tip had penetrated the skin and reached a certain depth, he began to lift up and down the acupoint, with even force and a very small range.

After a while, maybe in the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan seemed to have found something. He twisted his hand back and forth dozens of times before letting go.

"How does Mr. Zhou feel?"

Zhou Jiande raised his head and looked at him: "It doesn't look like you have learned this for less than ten days. If you ask me, I believe that after one or two years of learning, the needle insertion technique is very good. If you practice for a while, you may be better than me." , the speed of gaining qi is also good, and there are also lifting and twisting techniques, it doesn’t look like you just learned it.”

"Old Zhou praises me."

Zhou Jiande smiled, but shook his head in disapproval: "I'm not kidding you. With your talent, it may take an ordinary person five to ten years or even more to become successful in acupuncture. In your words, within three years , it will surely be accomplished.”

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind his two students: "This is talent. You don't have to think that you are bad, and don't compare yourself to Dr. Lu. Talent is more important than hard work. Without talent, No matter how much effort you put in, it’s useless, talent is something that can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Although the two of them didn't say anything, they also knew that Zhou Jiande didn't lie to them.

Where Lu Xuan's talent is placed, it is really not something that can be caught up with hard work.

"I see that Doctor Xiao Lu is quite familiar with both lifting and inserting methods and twirling methods, why don't you try other methods?" Zhou Jiande was also delighted to see Liexin.

After finally meeting this monster, he wished he could ask Lu Xuan to show him everything he knew. He would learn from those who were good at it, and give more guidance to those who were unskilled, so that the medical skill of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture could be passed down better.

Lu Xuan was slightly taken aback, is there any other way?

He didn't read many acupuncture medical books, most of them were reminded by his heart. During this period, he used the lifting and twisting methods the most, so he was naturally relatively familiar with them, and he was very comfortable with getting qi.

After thinking about it, Lu Xuan had no choice but to tell the truth: "I haven't learned much about other techniques."

Haven't understood?

Zhou Jiande's eyes lit up.

Didn't know about it!

You don't have the opportunity to show yourself until you understand yourself!

Zhou Jiande coughed lightly and said: "When performing acupuncture, in order to make it easier to get Qi from the acupuncture or to obtain a better needle feel, in addition to the basic techniques, there are also the following auxiliary techniques.

Following method, scraping handle method, flicking handle method, rocking handle method and trembling method, these techniques are actually the most important ones used when lifting, inserting and twisting are unable to gain Qi.

If you want to learn, I can demonstrate it to you. "

Lu Xuan's head moved like a chicken pecking rice.

How could you not want to learn?
Such a good opportunity, if you miss it next time, it will be hard to mention it again.

Although you can learn by reading books or listening to your own voice, what you learn on paper will always be shallow. Someone will teach you step by step and point out the problems. Isn't this better than self-study?
Perhaps in this aspect of knowledge, Mr. Zhou may not be able to compare with his heart, but in terms of technique, his heart is not as good as his heart.

After all, those teachers couldn't do hand-in-hand guidance.

Zhou Jiande smiled and looked at the two students: "You can also take a look, but usually I still focus on the lifting and twisting techniques. After mastering these two techniques, I can practice these five auxiliary techniques."

The two of them could only nod helplessly, sighing with emotion. The gap between people was really too big.

Zhou Jiande did not look at the two of them anymore, but looked at Lu Xuan, preparing to inject himself.

However, it was stopped by Lu Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, hit me, it's easier to remember when you experience it yourself."

With that said, before Zhou Jiande could react, Lu Xuan had already lifted up his trousers, revealing skin that was fairer than Zhou Jiande's.

Zhou Jiande was stunned, but didn't say much. It was indeed better to stab Luxuan than to stab himself.

After all, being able to feel the force of the needle insertion and the feeling of getting qi makes it easier for scholars to master the technique of getting qi. This is also the main reason why acupuncture scholars prick themselves in the first place.

You can learn faster by piercing yourself than by piercing others.

Zhou Jiande took out the needle from the needle box, pinpointed the acupuncture point and inserted the needle, and then explained while operating: "Follow the method, use your fingers to follow the direction of the meridian or around the acupuncture point, gently and slowly press up and down, left and right, or Xunshe, this method is used when the qi is not obtained, it has the function of promoting qi and promoting qi, if the needle is too heavy and tight, use it to disperse the qi and blood, and make the needle go down slowly."

"How does it feel?"

"There is a feeling of soreness and swelling, not as direct as thrusting and twisting." Lu Xuan expressed his feelings.

Zhou Jiande smiled and nodded, then continued to take out a fine needle and smashed it on Lu Xuan's thigh: "This is the scraping method. After the needle is inserted, use the thumb or index and middle finger to touch the end of the needle, and use the index finger or thumb to nail it. From bottom to top, scrape the needle handle back and forth frequently, this method can strengthen the needle feeling and make it diffuse.”

"I can clearly feel a sense of soreness spreading around the acupuncture points, and the feeling of soreness is stronger than that of lifting, thrusting and twisting. This technique should strengthen the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion, right?"

"It can indeed strengthen the treatment effect, but I don't need me to tell you one thing. The effect is not the faster the better. Acupuncture also needs to be used according to the situation. Fast when it should be fast, and slow when it should be slow."

While the two were talking, Zhou Jiande had finished the second needle and started the third needle. After the needle was inserted, he flicked the handle of the needle with his finger: "The handle method, after inserting the needle into the acupoint to a certain depth, lightly press it with the index finger. The method of lightly flicking the needle handle. There is a saying in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion": "If the Qi is not enough, flick the needle lightly to make the Qi go quickly...so it is called flicking to stimulate Qi.

This method is generally used when Qi is insufficient. Strong Qi is not good, and weak Qi is equally bad. Therefore, it is necessary for the doctor to choose the corresponding method according to the situation. You should know this even if I don’t say it.

The rocking handle method is also used to enhance the needle sensation. After the needle is inserted into the acupoint to a certain depth, the needle handle can be shaken by hand to enhance the needle sensation. "Acupuncture Questions and Answers" says: "Shake to move qi", which shows that the function of shaking method is to move qi.In addition, the shaking method can also be used as an auxiliary method for the purging method, that is, shaking the needle hole to make the needle hole bigger when the needle is withdrawn, so as to expel evil spirits.

The tremor method is to insert the needle into the acupoint to a certain depth, then hold the handle of the needle for small and quick lifting or twisting, so that the needle body will vibrate slightly, so as to promote deqi or enhance the needling sensation. "

After Zhou Jiande finished introducing the five auxiliary techniques, Lu Xuan had five filiform needles inserted into his thigh.

After a while, Zhou Jiande took out the filiform needle.

After taking out the needle, Zhou Jiande was about to let Lu Xuan try it. At this moment, a middle-aged woman came in with a registration slip. Zhou Jiande had to give up. Looking at the woman who walked in, he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ?”

The woman came in and said, "Doctor Zhou, my waist has always been in pain, and I'm afraid of the cold. When everyone in the office turns on the air conditioner, I can't stand the pain. At first, I just felt a little cold, and it didn't hurt much. I didn't expect that not only the right side is hurting, but also the left side is starting to feel cold. I can't stand the pain these days, so I want to see you."

"How long has the back pain been?" Zhou Jiande glanced at it.

The woman thought for a while and said: "It should be three or four years, I forgot the exact time, anyway, there must be three or four years."

Zhou Jiande stepped forward: "Lift up the clothes on the left side of your waist a little."

The woman glanced at a few people, hesitated for a moment, and lifted up her clothes.

Zhou Jiande touched it with his hand, and the muscles in his waist were tense and felt cold to the touch.

Zhou Jiande withdrew his hand, and the woman asked, "Doctor Zhou, what's the matter with me? I can't get cold at all, the air conditioner is on in the office, everyone is wearing short sleeves, and I have to wrap a thin quilt around my waist. OK, or it will hurt even more."

"Naughty numbness and cold numbness."

Zhou Jiande explained: "The cold air invades the waist and the Yang energy is blocked. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that there is no pain if the air is clear, and there is no pain if there is pain. If the cold air condenses on the waist, it will definitely hurt. Naturally, you cannot catch cold. The more you catch the cold, the more severe the cold air will condense. .”

"Is acupuncture okay?"

Zhou Jiande did not speak, but turned to look at Lu Xuan who was deep in thought: "Dr. Xiao Lu, how do you think acupuncture should treat this situation?"

"Burning the mountain fire." Lu Xuan thought for a while and gave his answer.

Zhou Jiande nodded slightly, he had the same idea as Lu Xuan.

The best way for acupuncture and moxibustion to treat this kind of cold syndrome is to burn mountain fires.

There is no one who studies acupuncture who does not know how to burn mountains and fires.

Acupuncture and moxibustion is a unique technique, burning mountains and fires. Correspondingly, there is another technique called Touxinliang.

"I didn't expect Doctor Xiao Lu to have heard of burning mountains."

Lu Xuan smiled noncommittally. Acupuncture is a unique skill. Even those who don't study acupuncture have probably heard of it.

Moreover, in recent years, the research on acupuncture and moxibustion techniques of "burning the mountain fire" and "penetrating the sky cool" has attracted a lot of attention and heated discussions.

According to existing materials, the literature records of "burning mountain fire" and "penetrating the sky cool" techniques are probably the earliest in "Golden Needle Fu" written by Xu Feng in the Ming Dynasty, followed by "Acupuncture Juying", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Questions and Answers", and "Introduction to Medicine" And "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng" and other books are recorded.

It's just that the description in "Golden Needle Fu" is not detailed enough, so that later generations of doctors will hold their own opinions and have different opinions.

"Speaking of acupuncture and moxibustion unique skills, these two unique skills should come from "Golden Needle Fu" at the earliest." Zhou Jiande is a master of acupuncture and moxibustion, and has also studied "Golden Needle Fu".

"I don't remember the content of "Golden Needle Fu" very clearly." Then he sighed.

There are so many books on acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine. Even if he spent decades studying all kinds of books on acupuncture and moxibustion, it is difficult to exhaust them. No matter how good the memory is, people can only remember a few generalities.

I want to remember them all, but no one can do it.

As soon as Zhou Jiande finished speaking, he heard Lu Xuan say from the side: "One day burn the mountain fire, treat stubborn numbness and cold numbness, first shallow and then deep, use nine yang to advance three times and retreat, slowly lift and press tightly, heat until it is closed Inserting needles is sure to get rid of the cold;

The second step is to use Tianliang to treat muscle heat and bone steaming. First deep and then shallow. Use the six yins and three out and three in. Press firmly and slowly, and raise the needle slowly to reduce fever.

Rub them carefully to get rid of the disease. "

Zhou Jiande looked surprised: "Doctor Xiao Lu also studied "Golden Needle Fu"?"

"I've seen some."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly and said: "The "Golden Needle Fu" records very briefly on burning mountains and relieving the heart, without specifying the specific operation methods.

For example, how should we understand "first shallow, then deep" and "first deep, then shallow"?
What is the difference between "using nine yangs to advance three times and retreating three times" and "using six yangs to make three exits and three entrances"?
And what is the connection between the "slow lift and firm press" and "tight lift and slow press" mentioned later?
How to operate "insert the needle until it is hot" and "slowly lift the needle when it is cold"?
At the same time, "rubbing them all carefully" should be combined in which link?
If these problems are not resolved, it will not be possible to carry out specific operations.

It also brought certain difficulties to the research of these two unique acupuncture and moxibustion masters by later generations of acupuncture and moxibustion masters. "

At this point, Lu Xuan paused and continued: "It's like the song of burning mountains and fires in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Gathering Heroes": "The coldest limbs are the most difficult to resist. If you hate the cold and can't stand it, your illness is not serious, so you rush to start burning mountains and fires." , the patient is at peace nowadays. "

Toutian Liangge: "My whole body is burning like fire, and I can't stop being hot and scorched from time to time. If I still practice acupuncture according to the law, the heat poisoning disease can be eliminated."

In these two songs, the scope of indications is only described, and the operation method is not mentioned. "

Zhou Jiande watched Lu Xuan for a long time.

Is this really just less than ten days of exposure to acupuncture?
Zhou Jiande couldn't understand how much memory it takes to remember so much content in less than ten days and to complete the acupuncture to gain qi. Although the technique is a bit rough, it may be enough to gain qi. This is an extremely remarkable thing.

Zhou Jiande was still thinking about how Lu Xuan did it, when he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears: "The "Acupuncture Questions" explains the burning of mountain fire like this: "The needle is inserted shallowly first and then deeply, and the needle is inserted about five times." Divide, use nine yang, three advances and three retreats, lift slowly and press tightly, until the heat is reached, the needle points are closed tightly, and then the needle can be inserted, so that the weather can enter, the earth's air can be released, and the cold can be eliminated.

It is also said: one retreats three times and flies forward, flying and advancing. If you do this three times, it will be three retreats and nine advances, which makes it nine.

The method involves rapid lifting to the sky once and slow pressing three times to the earth. Therefore, it is called rapid lifting and slow pressing. Then, the patient's qi will enter and the earth's qi will come out. Carefully press the number of generated breaths, and the disease will be cured.

One said, three advances and three retreats, enter and exit three times, three times will make up nine, nine yangs will make up, first shallow and then deep, shallow will be five points, deep will be one inch. "

As for Tou Tianliang, it is described as follows: "First deep and then shallow, enter about an inch, use six yin, three out and three in, press tightly and slowly, when the cold comes, slowly withdraw five points, let the earth's air in, the weather out, The heat can go away.

It is also said: one flight and two retreats, so three times, it is three advances and six retreats, that is, the number of six yins.

The method is: once the disease is inserted into the earth, and three times it is slowly lifted up to the sky, so it is said that the disease is pressed and slowly lifted up, and then lifted up, so that the earth qi of the patient comes in and the qi comes out. Carefully follow the number of generated breaths, and the disease will disappear on its own.It is said that if one enters three times and retreats three times at a time, then he becomes six men, and those who have six yins are also diarrhea. ""

"but……"

Lu Xuan changed the subject.He continued: "The records in "Acupuncture Questions and Answers" coexist with several theories, which are inconsistent and confusing.

For example, for the "shallow first and then deep" of mountain fires, the book points out: "the shallow is five points, and the deep is one inch." , which clearly indicates that the needle insertion should be divided into three parts, and the second theory is obviously contradictory.

Another example is the understanding of Jiuyang: "One retreat and three flying, three times, three retreats and nine advances, then it becomes nine." It is also pointed out: "Three advances and three retreats, three times of entry and exit, three times, it becomes nine." ." Then Jiuyang seems to refer to the number of needle insertions;

But for the explanation of "Six Yin", it says: "One flight and two retreats, (according to the theory in "Golden Needle Fu" that only one flight and three retreats are diarrhea, I don't know what is the basis for "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Questions"), so three times, It is three advances and six retreats, that is, the number of six yins." He also said: "Three advances and three retreats once, then it becomes six." The six numbers mentioned earlier refer to the number of needle withdrawals, and the six numbers mentioned later refer to the number of advances. The calculation of the number of needles and needle withdrawals is not unified, and also contradicts the calculation method of Jiuyang number, so it is not convincing. "

"and……

For example, the "slow lifting and pressing" of Shaoshanhuo and the "tightening and pressing" of Tuotianliang are misunderstood as the speed of advancing and retreating the needle, so there are "quick lifting and slow pressing" - Shaoshanhuo; "quick pressing and slow pressing" Mention"—Tuo Tianliang's explanation is completely opposite to the Fu text.

Therefore, even though the records in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion" are relatively detailed, there are too many contradictory contents, which also increases the difficulty of the research of acupuncture and moxibustion scholars in later generations, and is not convincing. There is a new understanding of the two unique skills. "

As Lu Xuan was speaking, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the acupuncture clinic was a bit weird, and no one was moving, so he turned his head to look at everyone.

"How...how did you remember so much?"

The expression on Zhou Jiande's face froze immediately. He had read all of what Lu Xuan said, but he only understood it. It was impossible to remember, but what Lu Xuan said just now, he felt that there might not even be a single typo. It made him doubt life a little bit.

Can the human brain really remember so many obscure things?
The two closed disciples of Zhou Jiande looked confused at this moment.

The two have also studied acupuncture for a while, and have read many books on acupuncture and moxibustion, but they have to write down the contents.

Then I can only say sorry, I don't have that brain at all.
