I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 117 Old Folks, My Old Zhou Has a Teacher From Today

After Zhou Jiande finished speaking, Lu Xuan also looked at him in surprise.

These words are almost the same as what the heart said.

"Worthy of being a master of acupuncture and moxibustion, it's no problem to draw inferences from one instance."

Lu Xuan was filled with emotion, this was not something ordinary people could do.

For ordinary people, even after listening to what he said, it is still difficult to gain something from it, and it is even more difficult in such a short period of time.

"It's just the ninety-six number. I couldn't think of any reason for it." After speaking, Zhou Jiande frowned, and his eyes fell on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan thought for a while and said: "As for the ninety-six number, it is based on the principles of the "Book of Changes", it must be attached to the technique, and it cannot play any role by itself.

The application of opening and closing for reinforcing and purging is to "close the needle tightly" when burning a mountain fire, so that "the true Qi remains" and prevents the Yang Qi that has entered from escaping;
When the weather is cool, "slowly raise the needle" to widen the hole to facilitate its path, so that the Qi can be released and the disease can be released, and the Yang evil can be vented more effectively.

There are also rubbing needles, that is, the role of twirling. In the past, there are actually two different views: one is based on the order of yin and yang, which is related to the records in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion". Outside, yin receives qi within the five internal organs, turning left can generate yang heat from the outside, and turning right can generate yin cold from the inside;

First, based on the order and reverse of the meridians, there are relevant remarks in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Questions", which believe that it depends on whether the circulation of Ying Qi is too much or not enough. If it is too much, it will be more than enough, and if it is not enough, it will be more than enough, so it is related to There is no direct relationship between cold and heat.

Because the ancients have different opinions on twirling tonic and reducing, it can only be used as an auxiliary in specific application, and cannot be used as the main basis for generating heat or cold sensation. "

"What about the indications for burning mountain fire and cooling the heart?" Zhou Jiande asked after thinking about it.

"Based on the records of the ancient literature, plus some of my own experience, the effects and indications of burning mountains and cooling the sky should be as follows..."

Lu Xuan paused and continued: "Burning mountain fires can replenish yang and dispel cold. It is a warming method, which can also be said to be a tonic method. According to the description in ancient medical books, it can deal with chronic paralysis, stubborn numbness, cold numbness, and epilepsy. Wind-cold malaria, extremely cold limbs and all cold symptoms."

"Then what do you think?" Zhou Jiande asked.

Lu Xuan thought about it for a while and said, "Severe cold and cold, the decline of life fire, and all the diseases of viscera, viscera, meridians and collaterals, can be used to burn mountain fire."

After listening, Zhou Jiande said nothing and seemed to be thinking.

Zhou Jiande murmured: "It's cold and cold, I can understand that the fire of life is on the wane, but the second half of the sentence..."

It's actually easier to understand when it's cold and the life fire is declining. After all, the stunt of burning mountain fire is a way to attract the sun. He doesn't think there is any problem in being able to deal with these two situations.

But all the diseases that Lu Xuan mentioned about the lack of vitality in the internal organs and meridians made him couldn't help but frown, as if he didn't understand.

Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, to understand this, we have to mention the vitality we often talk about. For example, we often say that this person is short of vitality and needs to replenish it, but what exactly is vitality?

Vitality is a concept in Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for more than 2000 years. If we use the language of modern Western medicine to describe vitality, the vitality of each person is different. This vitality is a comprehensive indicator of the functions of various organs in the human body.

Yuan Qi is produced at the same time as life is formed. It comes from the inheritance of parents and exists in the kidneys of the human body.

It can be said that vitality is the innate foundation of human health and the driving force of life. If vitality is sufficient, the body will be healthy, if vitality is insufficient or damaged, it will be sick, and if vitality is exhausted, life will end.

In the course of human life, vitality is a process that is constantly being consumed from birth to the end when it leaves this world.

It can be said that it is the vitality in our body that maintains the whole process of life. "

Zhou Jiande squinted his eyes and Yuan Qi said, anyone who studies Chinese medicine will be exposed to it, but some Chinese medicine practitioners have more exposure and research, so they naturally understand more.

For a master of acupuncture and moxibustion like him, he naturally knows a lot about the vitality of the body.

Lu Xuan continued to explain: ""Traditional Chinese medicine talks about vitality, that is, "the true energy is received from the sky, and it is also the one that merges with the grain energy and fills the body."

What do you mean?
That is to say, you are subject to "heaven". The simple understanding is that when everyone is born, we have the innate energy of our parents in our body, which is called "vital energy".

In addition to this innate, there is also the acquired breath and water and valley qi, which are used to maintain each person's entire life process.

The ancients said that when Qi gathers, it will live, and when it disperses, it will die.

From our cultural point of view, it means that all objects in nature are constructed. The smallest substance that constitutes everything in nature is called Qi.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine is always based on the premise of harmony between man and nature. Without the harmony between man and nature, there is no way to talk about health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine.

Regarding vitality, it is also based on this concept.

Think about it, when we were still in our mother's belly, only the umbilical cord of our body was connected to our mother. After we cried "Wow" and fell to the ground, our own Qi formed a unique connection with the world. Correlation.

There is an old adage in traditional Chinese medicine that "righteousness exists within, and evil cannot be done", which is also the truth.

Vitality is the basis for any disease to be eradicated. Xu Lingtai, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said in "The Origin and Flow of Medicine" that "diagnosing a disease to determine life and death does not depend on the severity of the disease, but on the survival of vitality. .

It means that in the process of diagnosis, it is not the severity of the disease that determines the life and death of the patient, but the survival of the patient's own vitality.

If the vitality is sufficient, a person can recover from a serious illness; if the vitality is weak, a minor illness can kill a person.

The real warrior in dealing with diseases is not doctors, drugs, or modern medical equipment, but your own vitality!

The doctor's duty is to ignite the vitality of the patient and bring it back to a normal state. Once the vitality is restored, it will be able to deploy troops and wield spears and halberds to wipe out all the diseases, so that the human body can recover as before.

Tracing back to the source, illness is caused by the damage of vitality, so the root of recovery is to restore vitality to normal. "

Having said that, seeing that Zhou Jiande still had doubts, Lu Xuan laughed and said, "Old Zhou..."

"Teacher, if you find it difficult to call me Zhou Jiande, then call me Old Zhou." Zhou Jiande interrupted Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan laughed, but he still followed what Zhou Jiande said and called out to Lao Zhou: "But don't forget that the Yang Qi that our Chinese medicine talks about has two sources. One is congenital, coming from the father and mother; the other It is acquired, mainly transformed from the water and grain essence absorbed from food.

However, people’s normal body operation, work, sports, sex life, mood swings, adapting to temperature changes, repairing wounds and other activities all need to consume Yang Qi.

The Yang Qi here, that is, Yuan Qi, is just called by a different name.

The function of burning mountain fire is to draw Yang into the body, so it is normal for it to help people restore their vitality. "

Zhou Jiande's eyes lit up, he patted his forehead, and said dumbfoundedly: "I almost forgot, there is another problem, if you say that, burning mountain fires really has this effect and can help people regain their vitality, then this is already a unique skill The effect can be great.”

"Otherwise, how can it be called acupuncture and moxibustion?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

Zhou Jiande let out a laugh, and asked again: "What about the cold heart?"

Lu Xuan explained: "Removing yang and removing heat is the clearing method, which can also be said to be a purging method. It is recorded in ancient medical books that it is effective for wind-phlegm stroke, throat wind madness, malaria single fever, muscle heat and bone steaming, and all fevers. In a word, it can be used to treat the diseases caused by subduing pathogens and transforming heat, hyperactivity of Xianghuo, and excess Qi and fire in viscera, meridians, and collaterals.”

Compared with burning mountain fire, Lu Xuan's understanding of Tou Xinliang is obviously much easier to understand. Especially in the last sentence, Zhou Jiande felt that he had thoroughly summarized the role of Tou Xinliang.

Knowing this, Zhou Jiande also picked up the tiny needle at the side and started experimenting on his own leg while there were no patients coming for acupuncture.

No matter how much you listen to the truth, you will not understand it as quickly as you practice it.

Of course, you still need to know the principles, otherwise it will be useless if you just know how to perform acupuncture but don't know the function of acupuncture.

Zhou Jiande had also seen Lu Xuan perform the Burning Mountain Fire and Heart Cooling exercises just now, and the memory was deep in his mind. Coupled with the principles and practical techniques mentioned by Lu Xuan, he inserted the needles fairly smoothly, but the test burning the mountain fire reached three times. After the time passed, he couldn't help frowning: "It seems that there is no heat feeling, is there something wrong with my operation?"

Zhou Jiande looked up at Lu Xuan.

When Zhou Jiande was performing the acupuncture, Lu Xuan's attention was always on him. When he heard this, he corrected him and said: "The key to the success or failure of burning mountain fire and penetrating heart cold operations is, first, to master the needle insertion and withdrawal. The level of the level and the range of lifting and inserting are required to be clearly structured and evenly lifted and inserted;

That is, when lifting and inserting, the up and down range of the needle tip must be limited to one level. Do not light and heavy at one time, fast and slow at one time. At the same time, you must distinguish between fast and slow every time you lift and insert, and cannot be blurred, so that there may be a feeling of heat or coolness. Sex is generally more, and sometimes one can succeed.

Second, the stimulation must be moderate. If it is too severe, it will be unbearable for patients. If it is too mild, the stimulation requirements will not be met, which will reduce the effect.

Generally speaking, the stimulation amount of burning mountain fire must be relatively large, but the treatment time can be shortened; the stimulation amount of cooling through the sky can be light, but the treatment time must be extended appropriately.

Third, the patient must be instructed to pay attention and experience it carefully, but do not give any hints to avoid ignoring slight sensations.

Fourth, the technique must be performed on the basis of deqi, otherwise it will not be easy to succeed. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Jiande: "You try again."

Zhou Jiande thought for a while, and then acupuncture was performed on his thigh again. With Lu Xuan's guidance, this time it was much smoother. When the second acupuncture was performed, there was a feeling of heat at the acupoint where the acupuncture was performed. And it's extremely obvious.

At this point, Zhou Jiande couldn't help raising his head, his face was full of joy: "Yes."

"It is indeed a unique skill of acupuncture. It is so miraculous that it cannot be compared with other techniques. No wonder the teacher said that it can restore the vitality of the human body. With this kind of heat, if more acupuncture points are inserted, it will be easy to restore the vitality."

At this moment, Zhou Jiande deeply realized what it means to have no right to speak without personal practice.

Just now, Lu Xuan mentioned that burning mountain fires can help people regain their vitality. He still didn't believe it. Even if Lu Xuan explained it, he could understand it, but he understood it, but the doubts in his heart never diminished.

But now that I have experienced it myself, my understanding of burning mountain fires is naturally not comparable to what I just did.

"Try Tou Xinliang again?"

"Just thinking about it."

Zhou Jiande quickly took out the needle and didn't keep it in. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, too much yang energy is not a good thing.

Changing one acupuncture point, Zhou Jiande continued to perform acupuncture according to the cool technique, and he felt cool after a while.

After the success of penetrating acupuncture, Zhou Jiande took out the needle without feeling it much.

In this way, the two studied for a whole morning.

During the period, several patients came to the acupuncture clinic, and Zhou Jiande used Touxinliang, and found that the effect was surprisingly good, much stronger than ordinary methods, and he was filled with emotion again.

When it was time to eat, Zhou Jiande had something to do, so he asked two students to take Lu Xuan to the cafeteria.

"Master..."

The two of them were speechless for a while.

Lu Xuan smiled: "Just call me Doctor Lu."

The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If Lu Xuan insisted on calling them master, they couldn't refuse. Although Zhou Jiande didn't talk much about them, he was very strict about respecting his master, so he himself In this way, it is also very strict with students.

It doesn't matter if you laugh about other things, but not this matter.

"Doctor Lu, you are really good. You can even reproduce the two great skills of acupuncture and moxibustion."

"I can see that the teacher is really happy. He insists on becoming a disciple. Don't worry about it. The teacher is a bit of a jerk, but he is a very good person. He usually doesn't scold us."

"I can tell."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then walked towards the canteen.

As for Zhou Jiande, after working in the consulting room for a while, someone suddenly said at the door of the consulting room: "Old Zhou, let's go. Stop being busy and go eat first."

It was Zhang Lao's voice.

"I'm coming."

Zhou Jiande smiled helplessly, looked up and saw Mr. Zhang and others standing at the door, waiting for him to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

"Originally I made an appointment with someone else, but since you guys are here, I'll go with you."

"Who did you date?"

"Lao Ye?"

"No, I'll tell you when we eat later."

"alright."

Zhou Jiande put down what he was doing and followed Zhang, Lao and the others to the cafeteria.

Zhou Jiande immediately spotted Lu Xuan who was eating with his two students. After waving hello, he found a seat with the other three people and sat down.

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and Song Lao who was sitting opposite Zhou Jiande seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Lao Zhou, who did you date just now?"

As soon as he said this, the others all looked up at Zhou Jiande.

Seeing several people looking at him, Zhou Jiande smiled slightly: "Old fellows, my old Zhou has a teacher from today."

???

The faces of the three of them were filled with question marks almost at the same time.

What do you mean?
