Chapter Forty-Seven: Taoist Priests Still Study the Universe?
In Lu's Medical Hall, Tian Xuelin's two inner thighs were pricked by Lu Jiu with three injections.
The acupuncture method of Dong's Qi acupoint does not talk about tonifying laxatives, its needles are all flat and flat, and the core is dynamic qi, so it is called dynamic qi acupuncture.
The stabbing methods used are basically forward stabs, oblique stabs, deep stabs, subcutaneous stabs, giant stabs and other techniques.
Therefore, this acupuncture method is very particular about the depth of the puncture point.
Lu Jiu is still not proficient, but he feels that the establishment of the Dong family's Qi Cave seems to be inseparable from the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" Lingshu • Official Acupuncture Chapter expounds various acupuncture techniques.
"Where there are nine thorns, in order to respond to nine changes. One is called Yu Thorn, Yu Thorn, Thorn Zhu Jing Yu Yu also; The second is said to be a thorn from afar, a thorn from afar, the disease is above, take it down, and the thorn Yu is also ...... Seven are called burrs, burrs, and the thorns are also paralyzed on the skin; Eight are called giant thorns, giant thorns, left to right, right to left; Nine said to be a thorn, a stinger, a stinger, a burnt needle to take paralysis. ”
There are nine kinds of acupuncture methods to adapt to different lesions of the whole body, there are twelve kinds of acupuncture methods to adapt to different lesions of the twelve meridians, and there are five kinds of acupuncture methods to treat diseases related to the five organs, which add up to 26 kinds of acupuncture techniques.
Later generations also called it the official needle twenty-six thorns.
It can be said that many innovative acupuncture techniques in modern times can find their source in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing.
"How does it feel?" After leaving the needle for a few minutes, when he was angry, Lu Jiu took the needle and pressed it in Tian Xuelin's sore area.
"It's still a little painful, but it's not as heavy as it used to be." Tian Xuelin himself was a little surprised.
When he came in the morning, he pressed his inner thighs, and it was the same as yesterday, it didn't hurt, it hurt as if he was wearing a pain mask, and he didn't need to look in the mirror, Tian Xuelin could feel that his face had been distorted.
As a result, after giving Lu Jiu a few injections, it really lightened a lot.
"I'll drink some more Chinese medicine later, adjust my work and diet recently, and practice the eight vajra exercises with me in the morning, and I should recover faster." Lu Jiudao.
"Eight Vajra Gong? How does it sound so much like something out of a novel? Tian Xuelin said.
"It's a physical fitness exercise, which has the same meaning as Tai Chi." Lu Jiudao.
"Where did you learn that?" Tian Xuelin asked.
"On the Internet, I learned from an old Taoist priest." Lu Jiudao.
"Daoist?" Tian Xuelin looked at Lu Jiu strangely, "When did you still engage in feudal superstition?" ”
Lu Jiu said speechlessly, "Who told you that the priest is a feudal superstition?" ”
Tian Xuelin put on his pants, "Anyway, I don't believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and these things, we are loyal Marxist believers and staunch materialists." ”
Lu Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, "There was a scholar in history who learned the advanced scientific ideas of the West in the turbulent era, and then arbitrarily thought that Chinese medicine was feudal dross, and it was not good to find Western medicine to treat him when he was sick, and someone advised him to try Chinese medicine, and then he said, I am sorry for the knowledge I learned to find Chinese medicine for treatment." ”
"It is undeniable that this scholar has made indelible contributions to China, but I think it is not advisable to learn knowledge but lose the ability to seek truth from facts."
"You don't believe in Buddha and Taoism, that's because some people confuse them with religion, take Taoism as an example, Taoism is actually the way of heaven, that is, the laws of nature, Taoism, it's just a religion that preaches the Tao of heaven."
"Religion is a social organization, and the organization must have management, and power will inevitably arise in management, and power will breed corruption."
"A cultivator, he believes in the way of heaven, everything conforms to the laws of nature, and it is not at all the kind of religion that we understand. There is an essential difference between those who regard religion as their belief and those who regard the way of heaven as their belief. ”
"Isn't it good that we only need to learn something useful from those who are truly monastic, and not from any religion? Our Chinese culture will never kill everything with a stick, it has always been all-encompassing, inclusive, your ideological consciousness of a party member should not be so low! ”
Tian Xuelin said strangely, "What is there to learn from Taoist priests, don't they just read Taoist books every day and fight boxing?" ”
Lu Jiu laughed, "You see, you don't even know about them, so you say that they are feudal superstitions." ”
Tian Xuelin said, "That refrigerator is not refrigerated, I said that it can't work, do you have to figure out what its principle is?" ”
Lu Jiu shook his head, "Of course not, but you can't say that the refrigerator you bought is not good, then all the refrigerators you haven't tried are not good." ”
Tian Xuelin was unconvinced, "Then you say, what will the Taoist priest do?" ”
Lu Jiu said with a smile, "That's a lot, the Chinese medicine I know is from Taoist doctors, like Hua Tuo you know, Sun Simiao, they are all Taoist priests, they can also astronomy and geography, and even chemistry, commonly known as alchemy." ”
"In other words, the Taoist priests in China are actually somewhat similar to the current scientists, except that we now study science and technology, while the Taoist priests in the past studied the truth, the Tao is the way of heaven, and the reason is the truth."
"It refers to the laws of nature and the universe, as well as all the truths in this world, as long as you have read some ancient books, such as the Analects, Lao Tzu, and Zhuangzi, you will find that the ancients often spoke to the point and pointed to the source."
"If you use one word to describe it, it is probably the road to simplicity!"
Tian Xuelin's eyes widened, "Taoist priests still study the universe?" ”
Lu Jiudao, "Do you remember the getaway in junior high school?" ”
Tian Xuelin bowed, "Of course I remember, there is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. turned into a bird, its name is Pengma, and it is very cooked. ”
Lu Jiu said with a smile, "When we were in school, did the teacher teach us that the whole text of this text is rich in imagination, novel in conception, majestic and bizarre, unbridled, and full of romantic spirit between the lines. ”
Tian Xuelin was puzzled, "Isn't it right?" ”
Lu Jiu smiled, "That's right, it does have an element of imagination and is romantic enough, but it is actually Zhuangzi's fantasy based on reality." ”
Tian Xuelin was full of question marks, "Don't tell me that Zhuangzi really saw Kunpeng." ”
Lu Jiu couldn't help laughing again, "Yes, he really saw it." ”
Tian Xuelin pouted, "Fart, if there is really any Kunpeng, it is immortal cultivation, where did you see the crooked heresy." ”
Lu Jiu laughed even louder, and when he saw that the time for decoction had come, he explained while pouring the medicine, "Huaxia has had the habit of stargazing since ancient times, and later it was systematized into an institution called Si Tianjian. ”
"At that time, in order to determine that an accurate agricultural work was conducive to production, our ancients would observe the sky at night to find out the influence of the movement of the stars on the earth's weather, from which the 24 solar terms came."
"At that time, we established the 24 solar terms, mainly by observing the seven houses of the East, that is, the seven houses of the dragon, but Zhuangzi is a Chu person, and the Chu people worship the phoenix totem, so they established the 24 solar terms by observing the seven houses of the Vermilion Bird."
"The astronomical theory of ancient times believed that everything in the universe was composed of Qi, and the universe was full of Desert Qi, and the entire universe was a sea of Desert Qi, and the stars in the sky were also floating in the ocean of Desert Qi, so the ancients would call the unobservable part the Stygian Sea."
"At the time of the autumn equinox, the Suzaku Seven Nakshatras are in the north, and they cannot be observed at all, but as time passes, the Suzaku Seven Nakshatras will slowly move southward, and at the time of the spring equinox, half of the Suzaku Seven Nakshatras will appear in the sky until the entire star is revealed."
"At this time, when you look back at the article Getaway, do you still think that it is simply a fantasy of romantic spirit?"
Tian Xuelin's mind once again echoed the leisurely journey he had recited as a child.
There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond is also ......
In an instant, Tian Xuelin seemed to see an old man standing in the four seasons, looking up at the stars in the sky, changing with each passing day, the stars shifting, and a huge red bird composed of stars in the sky slowly poked its head out of the horizon, angrily out of the water, straight to the sky, spreading its wings as a bird hanging in the night sky, looking down at the old man on the ground who was as small as sand but smiling like a child.
Romantic, really romantic.
But behind this romance, there are countless nights and nights of stargazing.
The persistence and hard work are self-evident.
"Kunpeng is the stars in the sky, hitting the water is a bright galaxy, it turns out that for thousands of years, our goal has always been the stars and the sea......"
