Chapter 111: Learn acupuncture with Zhou Lao

Facing Old Zhou's unstingy praise, Lu Xuan didn't know what to do, so he could only smirk.

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

Ji Xiuwen knows too well, although he likes to join in the fun, his mouth is still relatively tight, and he usually doesn't say this kind of thing.

Of course, he was able to achieve such achievements in the field of acupuncture in less than ten days, not all because he was unforgettable, but also because a group of teachers who worked silently gave him advice.

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

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

Zhou Jiande glanced at Lu Xuan, and saw that Lu Xuan did not show his arrogance because of his praise, so he couldn't help nodding secretly, and then explained to Lu Xuan the acupuncture method in detail:

"The milliacupuncture method refers to the whole process from needle insertion to needle discharge, which has high skill and standardized operation requirements, and there are four needle insertion methods.

Finger incision needle method, also known as claw incision needle method, press on the acupoint with the thumb or index nail of the presser, hold the needle in the right hand, and the tip of the needle is close to the nail edge to pierce the acupoint, this needle method is suitable for short needle insertion. ”

Zhou Jiande explained while doing acupuncture, Lu Xuan also listened intently, as far as acupuncture is concerned, what he lacks most now is the technique, in the final analysis, the number of needles is too small, the proficiency is not enough, and there is no one to guide him by hand, the technique is more casual and not so standard.

Of course, casual is not bad.

Like when Zhou Jiande entered the needle, the technique was very casual, but behind this casualness was decades of experience.

And Lu Xuan's casualness, that is really casual.

At this time, even Zhou Jiande's two students surrounded the patient after getting the electroacupuncture for the patient, and after giving Lu Xuan a thumbs up, they observed it seriously.

The arrival of the two did not affect Zhou Jiande, he continued to explain the second method of needle insertion: "This second is the method of clamping needle insertion, you are optimistic, use the left thumb, index finger, clamp the cotton ball, wrap the tip of the needle, aim at the acupoint, when the thumb and index finger are on time, the piercing hand will be homeopathic to pierce the needle into the acupoint, this method is suitable for the needle of the long needle."

The third is the diastolic needle method, which uses the thumb and index finger to stretch the skin of the acupoints to both sides, so that the skin is taut and easy to insert the needle, which is suitable for the acupoints in the loose parts of the skin.

There is also the method of pinching and inserting the needle, using the thumb and index finger to pinch the skin of the acupoint, and the pricking hand needle is pierced from the upper end or side of the pinching part. This method is suitable for acupuncture points with thin skin, such as Yintang and other acupoints on the head and face, and it is best to use this method when inserting needles. ”

Four acupuncture points, four needle methods, different techniques, Lu Xuan also knows these four methods of needle entry, but this is the first time to observe the demonstration of the acupuncture master at close range, and he was fascinated for a while.

Zhou Lao's technique is not only standard, but also pleasing to the eye, unlike him, the needle insertion technique is rough, but it is a bit like a traveling doctor who has learned a little but has not learned it all.

"Do you remember?"

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

Lu Xuan has the ability to never forget, even if Zhou Jiande's hand speed is relatively fast when he enters the needle, he can still see it clearly, and he also keeps these movements firmly in his mind.

However, Zhou Jiande's two students were a little hard, and in the face of Zhou Jiande's gaze, the two could only shake their heads helplessly.

They see it and understand it, but when it comes to remembering, it's not something that can be done once or twice.

Between this nod and shake of the head, Zhou Jiande felt the gap in talent for the first time.

His two students, in fact, have always watched him demonstrate the method of needle insertion, but he has demonstrated so many times, but he can't do it so standard when he actually inserts the needle.

Sometimes, even when I ask, I don't remember the difference between these four needle insertion methods.

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

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

Remember whether you remember it or not, you can see the approximate with one stitch.

"Doctor Lu, you can try the remaining acupuncture points with four needle 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 memorized things very firmly, and learned things very quickly, although Zhou Jiande only demonstrated it once, but Lu Xuan felt that he should have learned at least sixty percent, and the remaining forty percent, he had to rely on continuous needle insertion to accumulate proficiency.

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

Taking the needle, finding the acupoint, and inserting the needle, all in one go, there was no pause in the middle, and after a while, the four acupuncture points were already trembling under Lu Xuan's needle.

Zhou Jiande looked at Lu Xuan in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

Is this really just a one-time look?

If he hadn't seen Lu Xuan enter the needle before, he would have wondered if the young man in front of him had hidden 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 at least mastered seventy percent, and the rest only needs to be proficient, and he can naturally master it.

Is there really a demon in this world?

Zhou Jiande secretly exclaimed, he thought that Lu Xuan had remembered what he said, but the young man wanted to save face, and he didn't actually know much, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuan's method of inserting the needle already had a standard seventy percent.

If this was a long-term practice, Zhou Jiande would not be so surprised, but Lu Xuan was able to do it to such an extent just by watching it once, what is this not a demon?

You must know that his two students have watched him demonstrate at least a dozen times, and they still have less than fifty percent.

What people are most afraid of is comparison, and 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 the two of them didn't know much, they still had vision, and Lu Xuan's technique of inserting needles was already far above them.

And before, Lu Xuan was actually no different from the two of them, and the needle insertion technique was rough.

The two of them were also red-faced by Zhou Jiande at the moment, and they were embarrassed.

Zhou Jiande also saw that the two of them were hit hard, and he didn't want to say anything, after all, it was a good thing to let these two people suffer a little blow, but after thinking about it, he still reassured: "You don't have to be secretly weak, after all, Dr. Lu is the attending doctor of the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and it is normal to learn quickly, when you are also qualified to come to Liannan for consultation, I am afraid it will be enough to see it once." ”

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

What he was thinking about now was, not talking about Lu Xuan, but other people who were sitting in the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall at the moment, could they do it to this extent after watching it once?

I'm afraid it's impossible, otherwise what would he have worked on for decades?

Lu Xuan can do it because his talent is high enough, which is much more important than the hard work he acquired.

"Compared with needle insertion, it is relatively difficult to enhance the needle feeling, that is, to perform the needle and deqi."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiande's two students glanced at each other and hurriedly asked: "Teacher, if you enter the needle, although our talent in this area is not as high as Dr. Lu, we can practice for a period of time, and we can master the seven-seven-eighty-eight, as for what you said about the acupuncture, we have never been able to grasp the essentials, can you tell us in detail about this, how difficult it is, and where is the difficulty?" ”

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

Zhou Jiande thought for a while and said: "In the process of acupuncture, correctly grasping the angle and depth of acupuncture is an important part of enhancing the sense of acupuncture, improving the efficacy, and preventing accidents. The angle and depth of acupuncture have a great impact on the efficacy of acupuncture, especially in terms of deqi.

Acupuncture, also known as acupuncture, refers to the execution of certain techniques after the needle is pierced into the acupuncture point in order to make the patient feel acupuncture.

After we acupuncture the patient's acupoints, the patient will feel sore, numb, swollen, heavy and other sensations due to acupuncture, or spread and conduction along a certain part and in a certain direction, and at the same time, there is a feeling of tightness under our fingers.

If the doctor feels empty under the needle, the patient will naturally not feel soreness, numbness, swelling, heaviness and so on.

"Biao Youfu" said: "Slippery and slow and futuristic, heavy and tight." The air is also like the ups and downs of a fish swallowing a hook bait; The air has not yet arrived, such as the depth of the secluded hall in the idle place. ”

Whether or not to gain qi and the speed of qi arrival are directly related to the effect and prognosis of acupuncture treatment.

Generally speaking, when the qi is fast, the effect is good; The effect is poor when the qi is slow; If you are persistently depressed, it may not be effective and the prognosis is poor.

There is a detailed explanation in "Lingshu: Nine Needles and Twelve Originals": "If you stab it, you can't get angry, and you don't care about the number; Thorn and anger come, but go away...... The thorn is important, the breath is effective and effective, and the letter of effect is like the wind blowing the clouds, and it is clear if you see the sky. ”

"Golden Needle Fu" also said: "The speed of gas is fast, and the effect of gas is slow." ”

Therefore, whether to gain qi or not is an important part of acupuncture and the key to acupuncture treatment. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiande smiled and said: "Needle Qi is not something that can be mastered overnight, what you have to do now is to master the needle first, as for the needle to get Qi, it takes a long time to try, and it is unlikely that you want to master it completely in a short period of time."

Let's just put it this way, the vast majority of acupuncture scholars, can master the acupuncture in a short period of time will not exceed 5%, I have also taken a lot of students over the years, carefully calculated, there are more than 100 people, but only three can be out of the teacher within three years, you and I have a short time, there is no need to worry. ”

Hearing this, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, among the students brought by Zhou Jiande, their performance is quite good.

Of course, it may be a lot worse than those three.

"That's right, you can try."

As soon as the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately stopped doing it: "Doctor Zhou, I don't do this, you are using me as a guinea pig in the experiment!" ”

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

The two sat down without saying a word, although they have not been studying acupuncture for a long time, but they are also studying traditional Chinese medicine, and naturally know that the acupuncture points on the thighs are relatively easy to touch for people who teach acupuncture on their own, and there is generally no danger in tying them.

The two of them each took the needle box and tested it on their own.

For his two students, Zhou Jiande was still more concerned, and at the moment his eyes fell on the two of them, quietly watching the two of them practice.

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

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

Electroacupuncture is much simpler than traditional acupuncture, and it is enough to be able to accurately insert the needle, and the other roughness is not a big problem, and it has little impact on the efficacy.

Traditional acupuncture is not possible, and the technique, angle and depth must be perfected to maximize the effect.

If the acupuncture is not able to get qi, the patient will not feel the soreness and numbness, and it will naturally have no effect.

"Do you feel your fingers?"

The two were embarrassed and shook their heads.

"What about the legs, are there any soreness and numbness? After all, it is not only possible to feel it through your fingers, but also whether there is soreness and numbness at the site of the needle insertion, which is the easiest to feel. ”

"Still not."

Zhou Jiande had no choice but to get started: "Is there one now?" ”

One of them looked up and exclaimed, "There you have." ”

Zhou Jiande glanced at him: "Remember this feeling, it doesn't matter if the needle is rough, but as long as you can do the needle to get qi, it will have an effect, but if you can't even do the needle to get qi, it is useless to enter the needle no matter how standard it is." ”

"Hmm."

The same words and actions, Zhou Jiande also explained to another person.

After speaking, Zhou Jiande looked at Lu Xuan: "Doctor Lu, you can also try it." ”

Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and was about to lift his pants and test himself on the needle, but he didn't want Zhou Jiande to reach out and stop him, so he bent down and pulled his trouser leg up, and patted his thigh: "Take me to try." ”

"It's not good." Lu Xuan hesitated.

He didn't have anything to test the needle himself, but he could test the needle with Zhou Jiande, and he felt a little burdened in his heart.

However, Zhou Jiande didn't care much about this, but said with a smile: "I just want to see how talented Dr. Lu is, I can see the needle insertion technique, but the speed of qi is difficult to judge with the naked eye, the best way is to use my needle to get qi, so I can feel it." ”

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

Moreover, what Zhou Jiande said is also right, the needle can be identified by the naked eye, but the feasible needle can not be used.

Just like Zhou Jiande said, it is the best choice to test the needle himself.

"Come on!"

Zhou Jiande patted his big white legs proudly, looking like he was letting him show it.

Although because of his age, the skin on his legs is not as tight as that of young people, but the white is really white, and it can be seen from this point that Comrade Zhou Jiande usually maintains his parts very well.

"Okay."

Lu Xuan didn't think much about it, so he took out the milli needle from the needle box.

Zhou Jiande's expression also became serious, and after looking up at Lu Xuan, his gaze never left Lu Xuan's needle-holding hand again.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Compared to his two students, Lu Xuan's hand holding the needle didn't tremble at all, and this alone was much stronger than his two students.

When the two of them gave themselves needles just now, because of him staring, their hands trembled slightly, and Lu Xuan, giving him Zhou Jiande needles can be like stopping water, which is not something ordinary people can do.
