Meridian and Acupuncture (3-1)
Acupuncture points on the hand (1)
There are so many instruments prepared before the class. Why do you need to prepare so many instruments? Because folk therapy is not necessary to use these instruments, since 1989 (Republic of China 78), acupuncture itself has been included in the physician’s use, which is invasive. So you can’t get a needle without a doctor’s qualifications. So I knew from the Republic of China that this decree will be passed all over the world, and the WHO decree will be passed all over the world, so I will study the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion before, and we understand acupuncture What is the most important thing, and why the needle stick is effective? First, the current is called qi. Second, temperature and resonance. This is called the reflection of resonance. So in 1978, we started to do a big experiment. We used to use dry ice and electricity in the past. The electricity I used at the time was direct current.
In 1992 (Republic of China), after I arrived in Canada, I discussed this with some physiologists. The UBC in Canada is the Institute of Physiology of the University of British Columbia, which specifically discusses the resonance reflection on the skin. We know that each of our cells includes the entire conduction of skin nerves, and that the entire conduction of nerve cells is conducted by the conduction of electric current, the conduction of electrons, and the voltage. Its voltage changes with our aura, the earth and the sky. The same is true for current. This change requires the qi in the human body, that is, the current gas is about 25-50 u amperes. This is the flow of current. The flow of voltage is different because the entire air flow is different. Why is it different? Like when there is thunder, when the largest lightning strikes, it is about 1 million volts to 2.5 million volts. Electricity is sent from Dalin Power Plant to Taipei. The ultra-high voltage has 340,000 volts. Therefore, all our electrical towers must have a copper wire (lightning protection wire) on top. If there is no such copper wire, our electrical towers will be thundered. Break it down, because our electricity is only 340,000 volts, at least 1 to 2.5 million volts when thundering, so there must be a lightning protection wire, so it is called a ground wire.
Therefore, when the high-altitude current is directed to the ground, it flows like this to the ground, so that our high-voltage electricity can pass. We use this theory. A needle prick is like thunder. Bo, hit, and after hitting it, from the person holding the needle, all the current in the air flows into the needle, and when it flows in, it has an effect. One is the stimulus effect, the pain will be relieved after the puncture, and the stimulating current will immediately relieve the pain.
Because in acupuncture, when dealing with a person, it must be in the daytime and under a tree. So in the past, someone used this method. They were under the tree during the day and then fed him apricots. During acupuncture and moxibustion, they wanted to eat apricots. He did this kind of work under the apricot tree successfully. He brought apricots to the patient during the treatment. Go back and eat the whole apricot. After the apricot meat is finished, pound the almonds inside to eat, and finally the apricot shells are boiled for boiling water. In the end, the disease is cured. The last apricot just eats the pulp, and the almonds don’t need to be eaten. People are grateful to him, so they plant the apricots, and the cure is just one apricot, so the medical circles call it Xinglin.
The people before us took the silver needle and plunged into it by ourselves, and turned into all of my electricity and my qi, and then the qi next to it will also get in. Therefore, none of the people who used the needles were not very healthy. If you pierce more than forty people in a day, you will almost die that night because the electricity is all absorbed. The first person was pierced and the effect was very good. When you pierced to the fortieth, you were almost out of power, and the effect was not good.
We open the lung meridian, qi and blood, qi in the lung meridian is represented by Xin, and blood is represented by Yin. In the classics, there are four types: more qi and less blood, less qi and less blood, less qi and more blood, more qi and more blood. Why is it like this? The whole theory starts from the yin and yang in nature. This yin and yang represent many things and can also be composed of many things. Like chemistry, it has two protons and electrons, which can form many things. You know, yin and yang make up tens of billions of things. But the yin and yang of the Chinese are alive, the whole universe. The theory produced in this way is called Tai Chi theory. There is only one Tai Chi, so a Tai Chi produces two yis. Then in the two yis, each yi, whether yang or yin, contains yin and embraces yang, it has an absolute meaning, you cannot said that it is pure yin and pure yang.
Therefore, if you look at the yin and yang of the two qi and blood, there is no pure qi without blood. Both must exist. Therefore, when it is divided into two instruments, the two must exist. If you are yang in existence , There is yin in it, holding yin, containing yin and holding yang, all must exist. Therefore, in Tai Chi, Chinese people talk about life. In fact, there are two instruments. These two instruments are Yin and Yang, meaning qi and blood. The two instruments are divided into four images. Then the operation of the four images, combined with the whole body, is the trigrams.
Combining the whole body of eight trigrams, Qian Kun are the two meridians of Ren and Du, and the other six sub-hexagrams are the twelve meridians. But let’s talk about why it’s called more qi and less blood, qi is energy, blood is quality, energy and quality exist at the same time, and every thing has a ratio between energy and quality. Einstein said a very good sentence, this formula is used now, energy is equal to mass times the square of the speed of light. It can be seen that energy and mass should exist at the same time, but is there any difference between what the Chinese people say and his theory? I am not criticizing it. The Chinese are probably more applied, and the foreign formula is the theoretical formula, I think we need to use both.
More energy, less blood, a little quality, but a lot of energy. It is very famous, with only a little quality, and a lot of energy U235 can generate nuclear power, and a little bit of nuclear energy can generate nuclear power plants. Supplying a lot of energy is less blood and a lot of energy. This is the case with the lungs. As long as you can breathe, how much energy it has, your whole body movement, you have to pick up 500 kilograms of things in your hands, and you need a little bit of energy from the lungs. If the lungs don’t give these masses, it would not have so much energy.
In addition to eating, all our energy now needs to supply oxygen to the lungs. Why does it have less blood? The lungs breathe every day and you can’t see anything. How much you breathe in, and finally spit it out. I don't think it's used, how can there be such a large amount of energy, so we humans live on a little bit of qi, and if we don't have that little bit of qi, we will die. That's just a little bit. People in the past talked like that.
There is less qi, less blood, less energy, and very little quality. I take a little, and there is a little left. Just like alcohol, you need as much alcohol to light as many fires.
There is so little qi and more blood, a lot of mass and little energy. What is like this is when Taiwan uses straw to generate electricity. When tens of thousands of kilograms of straw are burned, the electricity that is emitted is just a light bulb that can light up, just a little bit. You have to burn it to the point where the machine can run and generate electricity. You may only have two light bulbs. It will burn tens of thousands of kilograms of straw and turn it into a lot of things, but it has very little energy.
More gas and blood is like anthracite, or oil.
It uses mass and energy to produce a person, so we need to supply energy to produce mass. Therefore, acupuncture, in acupuncture and moxibustion books has some regulations, you can’t pierce when you are too full, you cannot pierce when you are hungry, you cannot pierce if you don’t eat, and you cannot pierce even if you eat. In fact, it is not like that, it means when you are not feel normal, it just can’t be transformed.
In 1949 and 1984, I wanted to study under Sun Peirong as my teacher. Because I was a Taiwanese, he would not accept it. He said no! When you go to university, he said that it is useless for you, an intellectual, to learn this as a doctor. I said that this is good, just teach me an acupuncture point. He taught me one acupuncture point. He said that for head problems, you only need to pierce your head and the electricity will be switched on, and everything will be fine.
At that time, I couldn't get a needle. The needles used to be gold and silver needles. I couldn't stick it any way or practice. The needle would bend when I got it. Later, I promoted the first acupuncture made of stainless steel wire in Taiwan. I researched that it is not good to use stainless steel needles that are too thick. Very thin needles will bend. Finally, I researched using a plastic tube for a shot. It’s good to stick it down.
At the beginning, use this cold method where the needle is inserted. For moxibustion, the hands and feet are generally less moxibustion. The area of moxibustion is probably in the abdomen where there are more Ren Vessels. In the area of the Kun Vessel in the abdomen, moxibustion is also used more often. The needles are usually on the hands and feet.
Let's talk about the location of the acupuncture points. In Zhongfu and Cloud Gate, 1 is one inch, and 0.5 is half an inch. Everyone is independent. There is no absolute standard. The person who wants to pierce the needle makes the decision. Starting from the horizontal stripes on the hand, to this The distance of the horizontal stripes is called 12 inches. This is the decisiveness of this hand. No matter how long you are, like Liu Bei's hands are very long, with both hands hanging down on his knees, written in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then the hand is 12 inches. According to this ratio to make a decision, its location is probably there.
