Chinese medicine doctor Xu Yang

It was very lively outside, and Xu Yang was dumbfounded inside the acupuncture practice room.

He was very familiar with the man in front of him. There were photos and sculptures of this man in their school because he was the first principal of their Southern Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Xu Yang did not expect that he would be lucky enough to learn acupuncture from Cheng Lao.

You must know that Chenglao is not only a master of acupuncture, he is also a great educator. More than half of the existing acupuncture masters in China are from his disciples, and the Chengjiang School is widely spread at home and abroad.

Cheng Lao nodded to Xu Yang: "Comrade Xu Yang, all your acupuncture exercises will be done on him."

Xu Yang turned to look at the other person standing. This person's eyes were dull and his face was expressionless. He stood upright and didn't speak, making him look like a wax figure.

Xu Yang was a little confused: "This is..."

Chenglao said: "This is a tool for you to practice with, not a real person!"

Xu Yang was a little surprised. The system seemed to be getting more and more powerful.

Chenglao said: "Let's get started. The patient has stomach pain. Let's carry out diagnosis and treatment."

As soon as Chenglao finished speaking, the tool man immediately clutched his stomach.

Xu Yang's eyes lit up, hey, that's really smart. He stepped forward and began to look, smell, and inquire, and made a diagnosis. Acupuncture also cured diseases. To cure a disease, one must first understand the cause of the disease.

Xu Yang made all the diagnoses and combined the four diagnoses, and finally came to the conclusion that the patient had just been angry and angry, and the liver stagnation turned into fire, and the wood was strong and took over the earth, causing the liver fire to invade the stomach and cause epigastric distension and pain.

Chenglao asked: "How is it? How to diagnose and treat it?"

Xu Yang thought for a while and replied: "This disease is in the liver. The liver is a strong internal organ, so it is appropriate to relieve diarrhea. The stomach is one of the six internal organs. The internal organs are hollow and can cause diarrhea but not storage. Therefore, the stomach is tonic for drainage." "

"The treatment method should be to soothe the liver and regulate the middle and open the fu-organs. Select the Jin point on the liver meridian and the Jueyin pericardial meridian of the hand to soothe and soften the liver qi, and select the original and He points on the Yangming meridian of the hands and feet and the acupoints on the stomach to clear the middle and clear the fu-organs. .”

"Acupuncture Qimen, Zhongwan, Jianshi, Hegu, Zusanli, and Liangqiu. Qimen is the acupuncture point of the liver, which has the effect of soothing and softening the liver wood. Because liver stagnation must transform heat, so use the fire hand Jue The period of the yin-pericardium meridian soothes the liver and clears fire."

"Zhongwan is the acupoint of the stomach, and Zusanli is the joint acupoint of the Zuyangming Stomach Meridian. These two acupoints are important for treating all stomach diseases, and have the effect of harmonizing the middle and unblocking the stomach."

"To clear the stomach, you must cleanse the intestines, so take the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming to cleanse the intestines. Liangqiu is a point on the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming. It has analgesic effect and is especially good at treating acute stomach pain."

Chenglao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, let's do the acupuncture."

"Okay." Xu Yang was also very excited. He asked the patient to take off his clothes and lie down on the examination bed.

After Xu Yang gave the injection, he asked, "Do you feel any soreness or swelling?"

The tool man hasn't answered yet.

Chenglao said: "Wrong."

Xu Yang looked up in shock.

Chenglao explained: "The purpose of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine is to gain qi, and it is not simply about asking the patient whether he or she feels sore or bloated. The doctor should rely on the feeling under his or her own hands, whether he or she feels the needle is sinking or tightening. Xu is the master."

"If you only rely on the patient's feelings, it is often easy to make mistakes, because when you do not touch the correct acupuncture point, the patient will often feel soreness and swelling, so you must consider it comprehensively."

Xu Yang nodded and said seriously: "I took note of it."

Chenglao said: "The key to acupuncture is practice. This practice room is an environment that ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners don't have. You must study hard and practice more."

"Yes." Xu Yang replied.

Cheng Lao carefully taught Xu Yang how to use the needle step by step. Anyway, the one lying down was a tool, without temper or emotion.

In fact, the art of acupuncture has always had tool men. In the Song Dynasty, acupuncture bronze men were also made to teach acupuncture. Students who study traditional Chinese medicine know that when they start acupuncture, the ones who suffer the most are their roommates. After class, practice is to tie each other.

But no matter which method is used, it is not as good as Xu Yang. After all, this is the black technology of the system.

While demonstrating to Xu Yang, Chenglao said: "The word "Deqi" was first seen in the "Nei Jing". When inhaling, the needle will be inserted internally. If there is no disobedience, the Qi will remain in silence for a long time. If there is no disincentive, the needle will be turned. In order to achieve Qi, it will be Therefore."

"That is to say, after the needle is inserted into the acupuncture point, through twisting, lifting, inserting and other techniques, the acupuncture site will produce a special feeling and reaction. This is called Deqi, also called a shock sensation. At this time, both the patient and the doctor will feel it."

"Another thing that needs to be clearly distinguished is that there is a difference between gaining qi and getting qi. The "Nei Jing" once said, 'The key to stabbing is when the qi arrives and it is effective. The belief in the effect is like the clouds falling in the wind, and the clarity is like seeing the sky. The way of stabbing That’s it.'”

"Actually, Qi Zhi is the key when taking out the needle, but Chinese medicine practitioners of our generation confuse the two concepts of Qi Zhi and De Qi, and generally believe that Qi Zhi and De Qi are the same."

Chenglao sighed slightly, and his expression slowly became a little lonely.

Xu Yang's heart suddenly tightened: "Are you... okay?"

Cheng Lao smiled bitterly: "I once traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and traveled across the ocean to Japan to learn their new acupuncture theory, and to interpret our ancient meridians and acupuncture points into the neurological theory of Western medicine."

"I have been busy with this problem, but in clinical diagnosis and treatment, this theory is difficult to implement. Especially when encountering some difficult diseases, we still have to resort to ancient methods."

"When I got older, I realized that this path had gone astray." Chenglao raised his head and looked at Xu Yang, and asked cautiously: "You younger generations of Chinese medicine practitioners... haven't been too misled, have you?"

Xu Yang suddenly felt sour in his heart and almost burst into tears. He hurriedly said: "Don't say that. Without you, Chinese medicine and acupuncture would have perished long ago."

Cheng Lao waved his hand and shook his head.

Acupuncture has been passed down for thousands of years. It has always been a specialty of traditional Chinese medicine and has been flourishing for thousands of years. It was not until the second year of Daoguang reign that the Qing government suddenly ordered the abolition of acupuncture.

The reason is very simple, because Emperor Daoguang said that when performing acupuncture, you need to bare your chest and back, which is not the way to serve the emperor, and then he was worried that the doctor would use needles to perform acupuncture.

The development of acupuncture was at its peak in the Ming Dynasty, but it came to an abrupt end in the Qing Dynasty, and the art of acupuncture declined instantly.

During the Republic of China, it was popular to fully study Western culture, and a group of far-sighted people demanded the complete abolition of traditional culture. As one of the representatives, traditional Chinese medicine is the first to bear the brunt.

Throughout the Republic of China, several policies were introduced to completely abolish traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture, which uses meridians and acupoints as diagnosis and treatment methods, is even worse.

In that most miserable era, acupuncture was almost on the road to extinction, and no one learned it anymore.

It was at this most critical moment that Chenglao stood up, turned the tide before it fell, and helped the building before it collapsed. He founded China's first acupuncture correspondence institution, the first acupuncture professional school, and the first acupuncture magazine.

On the basis of inheriting the theories of his predecessors, he actively connected with Western medicine and even traveled across the ocean to translate their acupuncture works in Japan.

The Japanese also studied traditional Chinese medicine before, and they called it Han medicine. But since the Meiji Restoration, the medical profession has also been reformed. They have also eliminated Han and supported foreigners, and Han medicine has almost become extinct.

The same is true for the art of acupuncture. In order to survive, they actively changed the guiding theory of acupuncture and combined the meridians with Western neurological theories. Only in this way did it become scientific and finally preserved.

It was on this basis that Chenglao combined with each other and took a step forward on a path that was impossible to succeed. He finally retained the acupuncture technology and inspired the spirit of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners at that time.

The art of acupuncture, which was almost extinct, was finally revived again in the hands of Cheng Lao.

Not only that, Chenglao also cultivated a large number of acupuncture talents, improved acupuncture techniques, improved acupuncture equipment, and developed acupuncture clinical treatment. These are all useful improvements.

It can be said that Chenglao is definitely the person who has made the greatest contribution to acupuncture in modern times!

But Chenglao is still worried about whether his actions will have a bad impact on future generations of Chinese medicine!

So Xu Yang was very sad.

It’s just that in those days, there was really no way. If you were not scientific, you could only be exterminated by policy. Therefore, the leaders of the Huitong School of Traditional Chinese Medicine at that time were all well-known experts in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Tang Rongchuan, Zhang Xichun, and Cheng Lao.

In their later years, these people, without exception, all discovered that they had taken the wrong path. So we all walked back again on the road to the connection between China and the West.

Later generations of Chinese medicine practitioners often criticized the Chinese and Western Huitong School harshly, but in fact this was not objective because you were not in the context of the times at that time.

In that era, in that era when the West needed to be fully scientific, if you didn't reform, you were waiting for death. And they were the ones who struggled to persevere in the most desperate era of Chinese medicine.

These doctors all deserve our respect!

After the founding of New China, the original theory of relying on neurological theory to guide acupuncture was changed back and the meridian theory was used again.

Qi Zhi and De Qi are confused together because of the guidance of neurological theory.

However, these two confusing concepts have not been corrected. In layman's terms, Deqi means to hit the right acupuncture point, and then you can perform manual treatment. When the Qi is gone, it means it is effective and the needle can be taken out to end the treatment.

Now that the two concepts are mixed together, if anger equals gain, then there will be no sign of the end. Therefore, the current common clinical standard is to leave the needle in place for thirty minutes.

Chenglao sighed: "The problems we don't understand need to be explored by the next generation. The future of traditional Chinese medicine is yours after all."

Xu Yang nodded seriously.

Cheng Lao raised his head and glanced at Xu Yang, then slowly lowered his eyebrows, then raised his eyes again. He asked carefully: "In the future...do you still have to ask for Western medicine to be used to verify Chinese medicine?"

Xu Yang's expression froze for a moment, and then he immediately changed his smile: "How could it be possible? After Chinese medicine... it got better."
