Shanhai Jingshe has fixed standards for the selection of courses. For medicine, especially acupuncture, it mainly depends on whether its principles are inherited from the "Huangdi Neijing" or "Difficult Classic". Authentic and long-standing inheritance is an important guarantee for its system closure, broad-spectrum effects, and open-source framework.
The most significant difference between these two types of acupuncture is whether pulse diagnosis is required.
"Lingshu·Nine Acupuncture and Twelve Origins": "Everyone who is going to use acupuncture must first diagnose the pulse, and then it can be cured based on the dramatic change of qi." The opening chapter emphasizes the importance of pulse diagnosis in the acupuncture treatment process. "Classical Acupuncture" relatively completely retains the process of judging the balance state of qi, blood, yin and yang of the human body through the Renying pulse and Cunkou pulse, and then selecting acupoints to use needles. It also attaches great importance to the "holistic view of qi, blood, yin and yang" and does not focus on one disease or one syndrome. The chapter "Lingshu·Zhushi" also says: "Tonic will lead to excess, purging will lead to deficiency. Even if the pain does not (reduce) with the needle, the disease will fade away." It can be seen as an ecological treatment method of "adjusting from the inside to the outside, from the original interest to the standard" . In addition, "Classical Acupuncture" has been compiled by several generations of European sages and passed on to Master Renbiao to Master Sliwe, and then back to the motherland to Master Xu Yarong. It shows a very systematic rational thinking framework, "If there are pulses, use the points." , which is very consistent with what is said in "Suwen: Three Parts and Nine Symptoms": "If you don't ask about the disease, just treat it as normal." During acupuncture treatment, the patient lies flat, and the acupuncturist uses pulse diagnosis and acupuncture alternately, just like adjusting the temperature of the shower water, with the pulse gradually stabilizing and the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang as the pointer. The left and right Ying pulses are used to compare the size of Qi and blood. The Cunkou pulse is based on the four pulse conditions of "full, stringy, sinking and floating". It is suitable for doctors and enthusiasts who are willing to explore the "Internal Difficulty Pulse Acupuncture Five Elements and Six Qi System", especially those who are good at rational thinking. The course is divided into four levels. Teacher Xu Yarong, the translator of "Introduction to Classical Acupuncture", personally guides pulse diagnosis and acupuncture. The classes are taught in small classes and focus on practice. Novices can also choose. The overall characteristic of "Classical Acupuncture" is that it is "well-founded". The difficulty lies in the learning and mastering of pulse diagnosis. But this pulse diagnosis system is already very simple.
"Suwen·Changci Jie Lun": "The assassins do not diagnose, but listen to the patients' words." Gao Shizong of the Qing Dynasty noted this sentence: "Today, the assassins do not diagnose, but listen to the patients' words." , is a method of treatment, there are those who rely on the pulse, and there are those who rely on evidence, so the method of wide needling is exhausted. ""Huangdi Internal Acupuncture" is an acupuncture method that does not require pulse diagnosis. "Suwen·Yin-Yang Corresponding Symbol Theory" says: "Therefore, those who are good at using acupuncture can lead yang from yin, lead yin from yang, use the right to treat the left, use the left to treat the right, use the self to know the other, use the surface to know the inside, and use the observation to The principle of faults and deficiencies is to detect the slightest fault and make sure it is used." "Students of internal acupuncture" are well versed in this method, and use "1. Treat upper-level diseases with lower levels, and lower-level diseases with upper levels; 2. Treat left-side diseases with right side. "Treat the disease on the right and treat it on the left; third, seeking the same Qi; fourth, seeking the inversion of yin and yang" are the "Four General Principles", and the clever use of "reversing yin and yang" is to set all the selected acupoints on the six meridians below the elbow and knee joints. Explain the wonderful principles of "Nei Jing" and pay attention to medical safety. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Acupuncture" was originally a secret teaching. Later, Dr. Liu Lihong respectfully invited Master Yang Zhenhai, the eleventh generation successor, to spread it to the world. He wrote the book "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Acupuncture", which is widely cherished by doctors and enthusiasts. Master Yang also takes "everyone knows medicine and the world will be less sick" as his original wish, and works hard to pass on this teaching regardless of his age. At the same time, teachers Yang Ducheng and Zhao Lin were allowed to teach. "Huangdi Internal Acupuncture" lasts for 5 days. The teacher re-explains the wonderful meaning of "Internal Acupuncture". The teaching assistant team focuses on learning the "six (meridians), three (jiao), two (yin and yang)" of internal acupuncture from the recognition of meridians and acupuncture points to the practice of internal acupuncture. ), one (examination of acupoints)” principle. The patient reported symptoms, and the doctor wanted to return to the six meridians. He did not focus on reinforcing and reducing acupuncture when using acupuncture, but focused on regulating the central nervous system. Regulating pain is the basis and feature of "Inner Acupuncture", just as "Lingshu·Nine Needles and Twelve Origins" says: "If you are good at using acupuncture, you can remove the disease, just like pulling out thorns, like snow dirt, like snow stains, etc." To untie knots is to resolve closures." Then, there is a process in which students become better at regulating internal syndromes as their understanding of principles deepens. "Huangdi Internal Acupuncture" focuses on "seal". The course is suitable for doctors who have unsatisfactory clinical results and need to learn a set of principles rather than experienced combinations of acupoints or special techniques and skills. It is also suitable for doctors who have a weak foundation in meridian acupoints and expect a relatively simple learning process. , enthusiasts who have mastered the ideal treatment level. The overall characteristics of "Yellow Emperor's Internal Acupuncture" are "easy to use, unforgettable, and as effective as a drum". It is based on "faith, wish, and action" and focuses on the "Four General Principles" and "Six, Three, Two, One" principles. In application, the difficulty lies in identification.
Doctors can study together, or go deep into one subject alone. For enthusiasts, it depends on the cause and foundation. It is recommended to study at least half a year apart.
