TCM meridian acupoints are so magical
But how did the ancients discover them?
How were the origin meridians and acupoints of traditional Chinese medicine discovered?
From my personal understanding
Traditional Chinese medicine originated from Taoist practitioners
Since ancient times, there have been ten paths and nine doctors
Nine out of ten Taoists understand medicine
Taoist martial arts mountain doctor
It refers to traditional Chinese medicine.
Meridians and acupoints
It was discovered by practitioners in a state of meditation
How?
Of course, I really can't prove this.
But I know a master who has a very high level of cultivation
So he says.
My own observation and experience of the law of qi pulse operation
It is exactly the same as what is written in the Huangdi Neijing
It's an ironclad fact that acupuncture is popular all over the world.
There are Ashi acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine
Where there is pain, there are acupuncture points.
Long-term accumulation and sorting out are meridians
Now you can also push back the acupoints from the meridians.
That is, massage along the meridians will have pain points
Usually acupuncture points
I think it's been practiced for a long time
Just like Shennong tasting all kinds of herbs
Chinese medicine is also good
Meridians are also good
It was our ancestors who fought against nature
Practiced
There's a lot of crap.
But there are also many spirits
As early as 2,000 years ago
Our ancestors already knew
There are many special sensory points on human skin
Mathematics from the 5th to 1st centuries BC
Written the famous medical scriptures of Huangdi Neijing
It has been pointed out that the qi and blood
Each has its own name
And recorded the names of 160 acupoints
Modern Huangfu Mi
Compiled the pioneering masterpieces of the existing acupuncture and moxibustion specialties in our country
Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Meridians
The names of 340 acupuncture points in the human body
Location and attending
Discuss one by one
In the Song Dynasty
Wang Weiyi redefined the acupoints
corrected error
Written the map of acupuncture and moxibustion at Tongren acupoints
And the first to create and develop
Two-seat acupuncture for acupuncture teaching and examination
The lifelike shape of the bronze figure
The Precise Order of Engraving
People are amazed
A long time ago
Ancient medical scientists in our country knew how to treat diseases based on mathematics
And in the course of long-term practice
Formed a complete theoretical system of mathematics
The Book of the Four Seas
Numbers are universal in this scripture
Therefore, mathematics is also known as the study of books and learning
There are also acupoints or holes called acupoints
According to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine
Human acupoints have three main functions
It is not only the part where the meridian qi is infused into the body surface
It's the part of the body where the disease reacts
Or acupuncture?
The application site of Tuina Qigong and other therapies
Acupoints are quick to press
The miraculous effect of quickly removing diseases
But what is the essence of acupuncture points?
Is it really a special structure of the human body?
For a long time
So there was a lot of speculation.
disagreement
How did the ancients discover human acupuncture points?
The Huangdi Neijing says to lose with pain
It means that when a person has a disease
There are always tender spots on the surface of the human body
Diseases of internal organs or a tissue
Can produce tenderness at a corresponding point on the body surface
Or paresthesia
Press or acupuncture these tender points
It can diagnose and treat diseases related to the organs
Sun Simiao, a great medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty
In his book, The Thousand-Dollar Prescriptions, Volume 29, it says
Wu Shu multi-line moxibustion
There is a way
Speakers are sick
Just pinch it.
If it is in its place
No questions asked
Urgent or fast or painful
Urgent Cloud Ashi
Nine times
Therefore, Ashi point
According to legend, in ancient times, doctors treated patients
I have been exploring ways to cure the disease
Occasionally accidentally press somewhere on the patient
The patient's pain was relieved.
Later, the doctor meets the patient
It's going to press right across the body.
Until the patient cries out.
It's here it's here
therefore
Where the patient has tenderness or paresthesia
Compression or acupuncture for a long time
Sure enough, it made the disease better
So according to the patient's cry
Name these acupoints Ashi acupoints
Ashi acupoint is also known as Tianying acupoint
Chinese medicine believes that it is internal
visible on the outside
But Ah Shi said he couldn't explain the discovery of the meridians
Vipassana is what the ancients called the reflection of the interior
Li Shizhen in his book The Eight Meridians of the Strange Sutra
Emphasize Interior Tunnel
Only the observer can observe it
Taoist practitioners are good at alchemy, meditation and inner photography
But can it be found so systematically?
Hundreds of acupuncture points in the human body
And a dozen meridians
Still in doubt
Modern science has studied acupoints in modern times
Many people learn from the electrical properties of acupuncture points
To explore its essence
In 1950, Nakatani, Japan
12 volts direct current through the human skin
Found on the skin
There are some good conductance points with particularly high conductivity
Their position matches the position of the acupoint
Shortly thereafter
The famous French acupuncture scientist Niebert
With the assistance of an assistant
Application Method for Determination of Skin Resistance
Confirmed this phenomenon
And determine
Acupoint resistance is only half the resistance of the skin around him
The measurements made also got the same result
Late 1950s
Research on acupoint electrophysiology by scholars in our country
It is also basically certain that the acupoints have low resistance
Characteristics of high potential
However, it is estimated that
The total area of acupoints throughout the body is only 4/10,000 of the body surface.
But there are many parts of the body surface resistance
It goes far beyond acupuncture points.
Besides
Physical activities such as eating, sleeping, and exercising continue
Changes in the external environment such as seasonal temperature
And many factors such as the state of mind
Will affect the skin resistance value
No wonder
Researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Hypertension lamented
Meridian points were determined by this skin resistivity method
Quite difficult
It took five years in Delafouille, France.
Apply this method to determine acupoints
The result is the same as the Chinese degree
Very different.
We had to abruptly terminate the study.
There are also ancient mathematical theories
Comparative analysis with modern medical theory
Trying to explain them with new theories and new concepts
For example, electricity irritates the skin
The muscles that are stimulated contract.
Stimulate with the weakest current
The part of the body that produces the greatest muscle contraction
It's called Motion Points.
American scholar Jin Lin
After comparing the position of exercise points with the position of traditional acupoints
It is proposed that the distribution of the two is almost uniform
Japanese soldier
Justice and America's Frost et al
Then compare the acupoints with the trigger points
The trigger point is considered
It is a local gel part in the body's muscle tissue
Sensitive nodules with deep tissue
And accompanied by radiating pain
Although its mechanism remains unclear
However, it is generally believed that
It is due to pain or other reasons
Cause muscle spasms
Endocrine disorders or muscle tension
When acupuncture points
Due to the friction between tissues
And the interaction between the metal needle and the tissue electrolyte
Can cause local tissue
Damage to muscle fibers and nerve fibers
In addition, the distribution of the two is also slightly similar
Therefore, they believe that
Some of the characteristics of acupuncture points are very similar to trigger points
Some people even think that
They are just the same thing
There are also research reports
Acupoints and plug-in points, skin activity points, etc
Are closely related
These multi-pathway studies
It reflects the characteristics of acupoints from the side
For exploring the mysteries of acupuncture points
It undoubtedly has some reference value
Some people focus on the morphological structure of acupoints
I hope to solve the mystery of acupuncture points in one fell swoop
Experts from Shanghai First Medical College
Dissection and observation of 324 acupoints
It was found that 996% of acupoints are related to nerves
They further discovered
Neural distribution of meridian points and related organs
Points that often belong to the same spinal stage, epidermidal and inner meridians
The position also belongs to the spinal cord
same stage
Japanese scholar Hidetaro Mori proved that
Acupuncture points all over the body
There are about 100 acupoint tissues
Deep through the nerve tracts
Acupoints are also related to muscle spindle nerve tendon spindle
tactile corpuscle
Annular corpuscle isosensory ganglion cells
Receptors at the ends of peripheral processes
From a phonological point of view
The epidermis and neural tissue share a common origin
nerve center
There are projection points in various skin areas and internal organs
Therefore, between acupoints and embryonic morphology
May have a biological role
However, some studies have come to the opposite conclusion
There are nerve fibers in both acupoint and non-acupoint tissues
And they're histologically indistinguishable.
As for acupoints and non-acupoint areas
What's different about neural tissue?
It's not clear yet.
It's been reported.
Acupoints are closely related to blood vessels and lymphatic vessels
One Finger Saijo
Application of infrared thermography
The thoracoabdominal acupoint area was observed
skin temperature
0.5-1 degrees Celsius higher than the surrounding skin
He thought it was because of the blood vessels under the acupoints
The relevant anatomical data confirms
Many acupoint areas do indeed have subcutaneous veins
Or deep vascular penetration
Mathematics researchers believe that
Human acupoints are closely related to the nervous system
And blood vessels
lymphatic vessel
Complex complex structures related to muscles and other tissues
And its function
As for the specific structure of the acupuncture points
Or what is its essence
Scientists still have their own opinions
People talk
What's more, new acupuncture points are constantly being discovered
How are the acupuncture points of the human body determined?
It's really hard to say for sure
During the fifteenth period
The state has organized a group of scientists and scholars
Using scientific methods and scientific instruments
Study on meridian acupoints
And it came to nothing.
Meridians and acupoints are often used for treating diseases
It works again and again.
Acupoint acupuncture in our country
It is not only popular in East Asian countries and regions
It is also blooming everywhere in South East Asia and Europe, America and other places
It can be said that acupoint acupuncture treats diseases
It's a way to prove it with countless facts
And this is China.
Japanese, Korean and European and American scientists
And what's driving this?
But with current anatomy and observational experimental equipment
Not enough to figure out
Human meridians and acupoints
What is the principle and relationship?
To truly decrypt the life code of meridians and acupoints
Understand the wisdom of the ancients
I am afraid that the descendants of Huaxia still need to work hard
