After eating dumplings, Ren Jiangchi led Fang Shengxue to the small supermarket in the school, bought a large plastic basin and a fruit knife, and found a broken wooden board from the boss, and then the two returned to the classroom.

After arriving at the classroom, Ren Jiangchi first took the plastic basin to the corridor and put most of the basin of water on the desk, then used a fruit knife to cut off a piece of wood from the broken wooden board, trimmed it with a fruit knife, cut it into a long wooden strip about five centimeters long, about one and a half centimeters wide, and about one centimeter thick, put it aside, and said to Fang Shengxue, who was standing on the side and watching him curiously:

"Squad leader, the props for the exercise are ready, but before the practice, I want to tell you some basic knowledge about pulse diagnosis training. ”

"Wait a minute!" Fang Shengxue hurriedly turned on her mobile phone, clicked the record button, and then put on a respectful posture and said to Ren Jiangchi: "Okay, Teacher Ren, you can start talking now!"

Ren Jiangchi didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the point based on the knowledge of entry-level pulse diagnosis in his mind.

"Our TCM diagnostics pays attention to the four diagnosis methods of looking, smelling, and asking, among which the most difficult is the pulse diagnosis! ”

"To put it simply, pulse cutting is to grasp the cause of the patient's internal and external conditions through the priority of his pulse image, and the pulse image is the surface of the patient's pulse image, and the pulse image is the inner ......."

Fang Shengxue listened carefully, what Ren Jiangchi said was basically the same as what his grandfather's health care doctor said, but there seemed to be some differences in the subtleties.

"If we want to diagnose a condition by a pulse, we first need to understand what a normal pulse is. This is also known as the flat pulse, and only when the flat pulse can be accurately grasped can it be compared with the pulse with the cause. ”

The normal pulse of the human body is not static, but according to the alternation of seasons and climate in nature, the rise and fall of flowers and trees will produce corresponding changes. Therefore, according to the normal pulse of our human body, and according to the changes of the climate of the four seasons, there are four characteristics: 'spring string, summer flood, autumn hair, and winter stone'. ”

"But what is spring string, what is Xia Hong, what is autumn hair, what is winter stone, is the biggest problem that plagues beginners. Ren Jiangchi said while comparing the information in his mind, "According to the rules handed down by our Hongcheng Ren family, when you first learn pulse diagnosis, you must not easily give others a wrist number pulse image. Because at this time, you don't understand anything. ”

"So what should you do when you start practicing the horn pulse? You should find a river that flows naturally and feel it in the flowing water. ”

"How do you feel in the flowing river, how do you feel it?" Fang Shengxue's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's actually quite simple. Ren Jiangchi replied, "Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the mutual transformation of yin and yang, and the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the flowing river water is like the blood of the earth, which not only changes with the different seasons of the year, but also changes 24 hours a day in the morning, noon and evening. And the pulse of the human body, like the changes of the river, is different throughout the year, in the morning, noon and evening. ”

Therefore, if you want to experience the spring strings in the flat veins, you must use a thin rope to tie a stone into the river in the early spring season, and then fix the other end of the rope on the bank, put your hand into the river water that has just thawed, touch the rope in the river with your hand, cut it repeatedly, experience the feeling of the rope bouncing in the river water, and slowly understand the spring string. ”

Xia Hong is in the scorching summer under the scorching sun, touching the rope in the rushing river, and experiencing its bounce laws and characteristics. ”

"Autumn feathers, when the autumn breeze rises, gently caress the back of the pigeon with your hand, close your eyes and savor it, feeling the subtle feather touch on your fingers. ”

"As for the winter stone, it is to throw the stone tied with the rope into the river in winter, and after the rope freezes, the rope is slowly pulled out of the river, and the cold and stiff rope is moved with your fingers, and you can experience the connection between it and the stone deep at the bottom of the river, which is the so-called winter stone. ”

"Ah, there are so many exquisiteness?" Fang Shengxue's pretty face wrinkled, "Then don't I have to go to the Dasha River every day to practice this?"

"This is the Tongzi Gong in our Hongcheng Ren's Pulse Heart Method, you have to practice from a young age, you don't say you can't practice at this time, but you can't get started without four or five years of work. Ren Jiangchi said, "I'm telling you this, just to let you know the direction of training." In the future, if you have the conditions, you can practice according to this method to improve your pulse diagnosis ability. But now, because we have to take classes, it's not realistic for you to go to the Dasha River a few kilometers away every day to practice this. ”

"yes, then what should I do?" Fang Shengxue looked at Ren Jiangchi in distress.

"So I'm now teaching you a way to get started as soon as possible. Ren Jiangchi said, "There is also a saying in traditional Chinese medicine, which is called that the doctor first heals himself. In other words, the pulse can start by feeling your own pulse. ”

"Every day, whenever you have free time, you can feel your pulse with your hand and feel the changes in your pulse. Especially at the turn of the seasons, it is necessary to feel your pulse during the day, at night, before going to sleep and when you have just woken up, to experience the changes in the pulse shape and pulse image in different seasons, different time periods, and even a few minutes before and after. ”

"In addition, when you are not feeling well, you should choose these time periods to feel your pulse and experience the difference between your pulse and normal times. ”

"Okay, Teacher Ren, I understand!" Fang Shengxue nodded, "As long as I have free time in the future, I will first touch my pulse and feel the pulse." ”

Speaking of this, she pointed to the large half of the plastic basin on the desk, as well as the small wooden strip that Ren Jiangchi had just sharpened next to her, and asked, "But what are these two props used for? What you just said doesn't seem to have anything to do with these two things?"

"Oh, this is a training item that allows you to intuitively experience the 'floating pulse' and 'flood pulse' pulse. Ren Jiangchi said as he put the small wooden strip into the plastic basin, and then took Fang Shengxue's hand and let her gently press it on the small wooden strip floating on the water.

"Come, squad leader, you close your eyes, calm down, press the small wooden strip with your hand, up and down, and feel the feeling of the small wooden strip floating in the water. Ren Jiangchi took Fang Shengxue's hand, demonstrated it a few times, and then took his hand away and let Fang Shengxue experience it carefully.

Fang Shengxue closed her eyes, and her three fingers gently pressed on the small wooden strip up and down, feeling the feeling of the small wooden strip floating on the water surface colliding on the belly of the finger when it was pushed upward in the undulating movement, and vaguely captured a trace of the mystery of "floating".

Ren Jiangchi waited for her to practice for a few minutes, then shouted to stop and let her open her eyes, "Squad leader, have you experienced the feeling of floating?"

"Well, there's a little bit of a feeling. Fang Shengxue nodded vigorously, "What you taught is very different from what I asked my grandfather's health care doctor at home before, it seems to be more specific." ”

"Your grandfather's health care doctor?" Ren Jiangchi raised his eyes to look at Fang Shengxue.

Fang Shengxue realized that she had missed her mouth, so she stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Yes, my grandfather often goes to an old Chinese medicine doctor for massage." His pulse diagnosis level also seems to be quite high, and I have learned some from him. ”

Ren Jiangchi nodded, this is reasonable! When he was in the Dongfanghong Community for free treatment, Fang Shengxue had said that Fan Leilei is pulse was tight, although it was a little different from the facts, but it was obvious that Fang Shengxue must have practiced with others.

"Didn't that old Chinese medicine doctor tell you what I just said?" asked Ren Jiangchi.

"He said things sporadically, but not as specific and systematic as you. Fang Shengxue said.

Just when Ren Jiangchi took Fang Shengxue to do pulse diagnosis introductory training, Fan Yanjiao also made up for sleep in her own nest and drove back to her parents' residence, a lakeside villa specially built by Zhongtian Group for Fan Wenhu in the Zhongtian Garden Villa District.

"Aunt Wang, do you have anything else to eat? I'm starving!" Fan Yanjiao shouted as soon as she entered the door.

"Shhhhhh Your dad is upstairs in the study, he's not in a good mood, don't mess with him!"
