Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 114: Pressing Needles and Half of the Five Poisons Secret Manual (3K)

Fangyan had learned about ear area treatment when he was in school in his previous life.

At that time, he also specifically looked up relevant information in ancient books. The earliest record of ear pulses was in "The Yin-Yang Eleven Meridians Moxibustion Classic". "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" actually also has a detailed relationship between the ear and meridians, collateral meridians, meridian tendons, viscera, qi and blood, as well as a small amount of experience in ear diagnosis and treatment.

"Discussion on Organs", "Discussion on the True Organs of Jade Muscle", "Lingshu. Pulse Degree", "Suwen. Discussion on Evaluation of Heat Deficiency and Excess" and "Nanjing. Forty Difficulties" in acupuncture all record the relationship between the internal organs and the ear area.

Fangyan guessed that those foreigners must have some rare copies that had flowed out of the country, which allowed them to make great progress in this research.

This traditional Chinese medicine technology has been used in foreign countries for more than 20 years, but it is a completely new skill in China at this time.

The fact that Mr. Zhu was able to use his rich experience to master this method in a short period of time shows that he is very capable.

And now he is able to teach this new technology to the younger generation of doctors, which proves that he is truly selfless.

Meng Jimin is his apprentice, but Fangyan is not.

However, Fangyan has actually mastered this technique a long time ago, but patients with mild symptoms usually have no chance to use it.

It was only recently, when treating Yan Hua, that the dialect was used somewhat.

And the method used is the retained needle method rather than the buried needle method.

Because Yan Huayuan has not reached that level yet, just stimulating his body is enough to stimulate the qi and blood to produce effects.

Speaking of this matter, since Mr. Zhu mentioned that he was willing to teach him, Fang Yan would certainly not refuse.

Even if you already know it, there is no harm in listening to it again.

When he learned it himself, he was taught by a unified teacher in school. Now the person teaching him is Mr. Zhu, so maybe he can learn new things.

So Fangyan didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.

And after learning this, when he encounters a patient who needs ear treatment in the future, he can just take it out and use it. It is absolutely legitimate.

I learned this from Zhu Liangchun, and so many eyes saw it.

Soon, Mr. Zhu started acupuncture treatment.

At first, the patient was given a set of body acupuncture, using the method of burning mountain fire to replenish, taking Zusanli, Shenshu, Pishu, Guanyuan, Qihai, and Sanyinjiao, and adding moxibustion.

After finishing, I checked the patient's condition and confirmed his pulse. When there were no problems, I opened his acupuncture needle bag.

There is no such sophisticated thing in China now. It is a piece of plaster the size of a fingernail with short needles like thumbtacks on it. Find the corresponding position on the ear area and stick this thing on it, and it will be buried.

Acupuncture has evolved into more versions in later generations.

Of course, the principles are actually the same, and most hospitals use the simplest type of needle implants.

Use 30 or 32 stainless steel wire to make a thumbtack-shaped or wheat-grain-shaped needle.

The embedded needles used by Mr. Zhu are also called qin (fourth tone) needles. They were bought from Hong Kong, and the price is estimated to be not cheap.

But this thing doesn't require any technical skills, and you can make it as long as you want to.

The needles were left in after the ear areas corresponded to the positions of the spleen and kidneys. Mr. Zhu operated very slowly and also explained to Fangyan Meng Jimin what position in the body this corresponded to.

Mr. Zhu didn't know what level of knowledge Fangyan had in acupuncture, so he tried hard to explain the knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way. As a result, many people who were listening nearby understood the knowledge he was talking about.

Combining his own knowledge, Fangyan discovered that Zhu's understanding of the ear area might not be as deep as that of later generations, but his understanding of the internal organs did have some eye-opening insights, and even gave Fangyan a lot of new understandings and ideas.

I feel that if I continue to learn from Master Zhu, I might be able to trigger some kind of system blessing.

However, the main purpose today is not to give lectures to Fangyan and others, but to treat patients.

By the way, let them experience ear area therapy and acupuncture.

Unlike Fangyan who was lost in thought after listening, Meng Jimin believed that a good memory is worse than a poor pen, so he began to take notes as soon as Mr. Zhu started talking. Fangyan even saw him use the pen he had on him to draw an accurate picture of an ear.

All the locations that Mr. Zhu just mentioned are marked on the map.

Few people have this ability. Fangyan said, "No wonder Meng Jimin always carries a notebook and pen with him. It turns out he has this ability."

Mr. Zhu had some opinions about his apprentice Meng Jimin's habits, and asked him to understand them carefully and not to keep writing them down in his notebook.

Meng Jimin did not refute, but nodded repeatedly, saying that it was an old habit of his and he would remember it in his mind once he wrote it down.

When you write, you are thinking.

When Fang Yan heard what he said, he remembered that his senior sister who was one year older than him was the same when he was in school. The key point was that the senior sister also had the surname Meng and her hometown was also in Beijing.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan was stunned, and looked at Meng Jimin with a strange look. Could it be that the senior sister in the previous life was Meng Jimin’s granddaughter?
Mr. Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to Meng Jimin and turned to Fang Yan and said:

"This type of needle embedding is disposable. It is not easy to make in our country at present, but the principle is the same. You can do it with the new fine needles, but you have to control the depth of insertion."

Fangyan nodded, he was very experienced in this regard.

It had already been implemented on Yan Hua.

Meng Jimin was different from Fangyan. He directly asked Mr. Zhu for a sticker, saying that it was for the purpose of recording the length. This was very rigorous.

Next, Fangyan saw that the patient's complexion had become a little rosy and his breathing was not as difficult. He knew that the acupuncture had begun to stimulate the internal organs.

After taking the patient's pulse, Mr. Zhu also confirmed the news.

The acupuncturist standing by was also taking notes silently. What Mr. Zhu said was not difficult to understand and he could summarize it himself later.

After confirming the patient's condition, Dr. Zhu asked the nurse to see when the medicine could be boiled, and then said to Fang Yan and the others, "Next, I will report this ear acupuncture therapy and buried needle technology."

"I have limited energy and strength, so the most important thing is that the higher-ups take it seriously. Since they have been researching and using this technology for 20 years, there must be no problem with it. Since they can take the technology from us and apply it to this level, we should also learn from them and apply these excellent technical experiences in clinical practice."

Fang Yan and Meng Jimin both nodded.

Although Fangyan doesn't remember when ear acupuncture therapy was noticed in China, he did learn it in college and knows that many new therapies were developed in China later.

For example, electroacupuncture, injection, bloodletting, ear clips, magnetic therapy, medicinal compresses, buried beans, pressed beans, laser, water injection, and iontophoresis.

All these indicate that ear acupuncture therapy was vigorously developed later.

Mr. Zhu said to Fang Yan and Meng Jimin:

"In the end, it all depends on the efforts of you young Chinese medicine practitioners."

They both nodded.

This is the expectation of the older veterans in the field of traditional Chinese medicine for the younger generation.

After Zhu Lao finished speaking, he also said to the dialect:
"Especially Mr. Fang, you are still so young, remember to keep your original intention, you will have great potential in the future!"

Fangyan is only 22 years old now. When Mr. Zhu saw him, it was as if he was seeing himself when he was studying medicine in Shanghai. He couldn't help but say something more to him.

This behavior has a special meaning in the eyes of others.

Especially in the eyes of Meng Jimin and Chen Youqing, this was simply a sign that the master was thinking of accepting another disciple.

It is very normal for a person in traditional Chinese medicine to have several teachers.

For example, Mr. Zhu first became a disciple of Mr. Ma Huiqing, who came from a family of imperial physicians in Menghe, Wujin, and later studied under Mr. Zhang Cigong, a famous doctor in Shanghai.

He became famous in Shanghai at the age of 21.

At the age of 22, he returned to Nantong and set up a clinic to practice medicine.

In addition to his talent, his fame at a young age was also due to these two famous doctors and fathers.

Fang Yan's current age and the talent and character he has shown in traditional Chinese medicine are indeed amazing, so it is very likely that Mr. Zhu's current show of goodwill is that he is considering accepting him as his disciple.

But this isn't the right occasion to say it out loud.

After all, there is a clear ban from above on traditional Chinese medicine practitioners accepting apprentices.

Now they can only be in the same department, this is called the old-new mentoring program.

Of course, this rule only applies to ordinary doctors. If you want to take in an apprentice, even if you do it secretly, they won’t be able to control you.

Even for a great doctor like Mr. Zhu, although the government may not support him, they will pretend not to see it. After all, someone that a great doctor would like must be very talented.

As long as you learn it, you can almost become a pillar in the hospital.

As long as you accept disciples and don't make a big fuss like in ancient times and slap the official in the face, no one will care about you.

After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and walked to his travel bag, taking out two notebooks with old covers.

He took the two notebooks to Fang Yan and Meng Jimin, and said to them:

"These are some of the more special and difficult cases from the past years that I have sorted out recently. I was planning to give them all to Jimin."

"Now that friend Fang is here, you can take a look at this difficult and complicated case. Each of you can take one copy. After you finish reading, you can exchange them. I hope it will be useful to you."

After saying that, he handed a notebook to each person.

When Fangyan opened it, he found that it was a medical case of using insect prescriptions to treat tumors, which he had never seen before.

This is an early prescription that is not even included in the sixty-two empirical prescriptions.

Fangyan flipped through a few more pages and found prescriptions from other doctors, such as the folk prescription used by the sloppy doctor Chen Zhao to treat lymph tuberculosis.

Then Fangyan turned another page, and it was Chongfang again.

"Most of them are insects." Fang Yan said with some surprise.

Mr. Zhu nodded and said:

"That's right. Most of the ingredients in your book are indeed unpublished insect medicines. They are also the prescriptions that my disciples learn. If you hadn't also prescribed insect prescriptions, I really wouldn't have given it to you."

Fangyan was speechless. How could this prescription be given away just like that? This was half of Mr. Zhu's secret book of the Five Poisons Prescription!
He asked Mr. Zhu:
"Isn't this equivalent to your sect's secret recipe? It's too precious!"

Mr. Zhu waved his hand:

"I might have been reluctant to give it up before, but now I think about it, it's all experience in curing illnesses and saving lives. If you can cure one more person with it, then its value will be achieved."

"Experience needs to be passed down. Chinese medicine practitioners abroad are too strong now. If we still cherish our own experience and don't pass it down, we will probably be surpassed by Chinese medicine practitioners abroad in the future."

When Fang Yan heard this, he knew he shouldn't refuse. He nodded and put away the medical records and prescriptions that he had recorded for who knows how long.

He said to Mr. Zhu:

"I will study it carefully."
