0144 The Secret of Needle Road
Lan Tianfan is a great master in acupuncture, so he explains these things very thoroughly. He explained carefully: "After the needle is penetrated into the patient's body, it will cause the patient's local feeling to feel either acid, numb, swelling, or heavy. This feeling does not exist on the patient's epidermis, but from the part where the needle tip is."
"A good acupuncture doctor will cause these feelings to be produced in a large area where the needle tip goes. This feeling is a very comfortable feeling, a feeling of stirring up the swelling, and a feeling of massage and straining the shoulders and back. A doctor with poor skills brings the patient the pain when the needle is injected and the pain when the needle is carried out."
"This pain is very uncomfortable. The pain is on the surface of the skin. It is a tingling pain that pulls the skin. It is different from the part where the pain feels very comfortable. The pain mentioned above occurs in the deep layer, that is, the part where the needle tip is reached, that is, the part where the pain is sick."
"If you can relax your whole body and mind while doing acupuncture and find a good acupuncture doctor to get acupuncture, then you will basically not be troubled by pain."
Zeng Zhi listened to Lan Tianfan's words, and before he knew it, dozens of silver needles were stabbed on his body, but he did not feel any pain. He couldn't help but admire his teacher's skills.
But he didn't expect this result. On the first day he and Lan Tianfan officially learned acupuncture, he was stabbed by the old guy as a bronze man.

After Lan Tianfan gave Zeng Zhi many acupunctures, he began to talk freely: "The purpose of acupuncture is nothing more than three types, namely, unblocking meridians, harmonizing yin and yang, and strengthening the body and eliminating evil."
Then, Lan Tianfan began to explain these three purposes carefully to Zeng Zhi.
The first is to clear the meridians, which is to make the obstructed meridians unblocked and exert their normal physiological role.
The meridians belong to the internal organs, and the outer meridians are in the limb joints, and the circulation of qi and blood is its main physiological function. The meridians are blocked and the circulation of qi and blood is blocked. The clinical manifestations are symptoms such as pain, numbness, swelling, and ecchymosis. The acupuncture department selects corresponding acupoints and acupuncture techniques and triangular acupuncture points to make the meridians unblock and the circulation of qi and blood is normal.
The so-called pain will not work. Although this is an advertisement, it also makes sense.
The function of acupuncture to harmonize yin and yang is to transform the body from an imbalance of yin and yang to a equilibrium state, which is the ultimate goal of acupuncture treatment.
The mechanism of the disease is complex, but it is summarized from the overall lesson as an imbalance of yin and yang. The effect of acupuncture and moxibustion are accomplished through the properties of yin and yang in meridians, meridian acupoints, and acupuncture techniques.
This has been criticized by some experts in the past, believing that the theory of Yin and Yang is too fantasy, but now it seems very reasonable.
Just like the acid-base balance inside the human body, if it is damaged, the person will definitely get sick. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes the doctrine of the mean, which is to balance a biological field. Whether it is to regulate yin and yang or pursue the unity of man and nature, it is a major goal of balance between yin and yang.
The function of acupuncture to strengthen the body and eliminate evil is to help the body's positive energy and eliminate disease. The process of the occurrence, development and return of diseases is essentially a process of the struggle between good and evil.
Acupuncture and moxibustion treat diseases lies in the ability to exert its role in strengthening the body and eliminating evil.

While explaining these experiences of needles to Zeng Zhi, Lan Tianfan kept lifting the silver needles on Zeng Zhi's body, pulling and swaying, and squeezing them.
As Lan Tianfan's movements, Zeng Zhi felt a feeling of soreness, numbness, swelling and heavyness in his body, and he knew that this was considered anger.
In fact, Zeng Zhi is healthy, the meridians in his body are unobstructed, and all kinds of feelings are very sharp. As long as Lan Tianfan's needle moves a little, it is easy to feel the changes in his body.
For example, when the true qi runs under the regulation of the silver needle, it undergoes rapid or slow movement changes.
This is very beneficial for Zeng Zhi to learn acupuncture techniques. Therefore, after Lan Tianfan demonstrated it for a while, Zeng Zhi was able to roughly grasp the tricks.
But Zeng Zhi was a little curious. When acupuncture doctors were taking acupuncture, they always asked the patient some questions, such as whether it felt pain or not, but Lan Tianfan didn't ask at all, as if he knew what the other person felt when he put the acupuncture himself.
So he asked Lan Tianfan this question.
"This is what I feel for many years." Lan Tianfan smiled slightly, with a kind of mastery.
"Feeling?" Zeng Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that this thing was indeed mysterious, which was the most unreliable thing, but it was often the thing that needed to rely on the most.
For example, in a casino, you need feelings to win cards, and in a battlefield, you need feelings to make decisions. Often, many great scientists succeed after finding feelings.
So it feels like this is really hard to explain.
And what Lan Tianfan said is also the accumulation of years of medical experience?
This thing is more about talent and practice, and is not obtained out of thin air.
Lan Tianfan said to Zeng Zhi: "I have been in the medical field for more than fifty years, and there have been no less than tens of thousands of patients. After so many years of needle processing, I have basically mastered this feeling. After the needle is taken, it is like a tomb robber inserted into a Luoyang shovel underground, and I have a clear idea of the situation below. As for lifting points, based on the force and distortion on the silver needle, you can know what the patient should feel, and basically you don't need to ask again."
"How do you feel when you stab me?" Zeng Zhi asked curiously.
Lan Tianfan thought about it carefully and said, "It feels very comfortable. People without illness have such a transparent meridian. What they pierce on it is all about health feedback. It feels like when I was just learning acupuncture, under the guidance of the teacher, I used silver needles to puncture acupuncture as a bronze man who used acupuncture. It is very comfortable, very relaxed, and very fulfilling."
Then Lan Tianfan began to acupuncture for Zeng Zhi. The needle was not simply pulling the needle out of the acupoint, but had different techniques based on the different locations of the acupoints and the depth of the needle.
Lan Tianfan explained to Zeng Zhi while getting the needle. Fortunately, Zeng Zhi had good memory and comprehension, and he remembered it very clearly.
Lan Tianfan said: "The first key to acupuncture is to recognize the acupoints accurately. Especially when encountering paralyzed patients like Wang Tao, there is basically no feeling on their legs. Therefore, you have to find the acupoints right. This is to take the exam for the school kung fu."
