Ancient books on geographical acupoints

"Su Wen. On the Theory of Yin and Yang: "Cavitation has its own name." It shows that before Neijing was written, acupoints had begun to change from pain to localization and naming. Sun Simiao's "Thousands of Women's Wings" said: "All the points have profound meanings." It shows that the naming of acupoints is not easy to grasp, but is summarized from various aspects by ancient doctors according to their own understanding of the universe and nature. Therefore, there may be a certain relationship between the names of acupoints, which can help us master the location and clinical application of acupoints.

According to the meteorological classification, the acupoints containing "wind" include Fengchi, Shi Feng, Fengfu, Fengmen, Feng Bing and Yifeng. Wind is yang evil, and its nature is diarrhea: wind evil is active but not born, and it has the characteristics of rising, upward and outward, so it is yang evil. Wind pathogen causes disease, with rapid onset, rapid change and uncertain disease location. Therefore, "On Su Wenfeng" said: "The wind is good and changes", so there is a saying that "the wind is the length of all diseases".

The wind pool, above the head, can only be reached by the wind, which is the pool where the wind enters; Windy city, where the wind gathers; Wind house, the house where wind evil enters; The air door is the watch of the sun and the barrier to the invasion of wind evil; Grasp the wind, grasp the handle, and treat the authority of the leeward heresy. These acupoints containing "wind" are mostly related to wind evil in attending diseases, such as headache, dizziness, stroke, insomnia, epilepsy and strong neck pain.

From this, it can be concluded that acupoints containing "wind" are the key points to treat wind. Whenever you see the symptoms of wind in clinic, you can consider using acupoints with "wind" in the name of acupoints, which may have unexpected therapeutic effects. There are many names according to the weather, such as missing columns. Legqog, lightning in the sky, also refers to lightning. Lightning is shaped like a crack in the sky, just like a door in the sky. The name given to it by the ancients is very vivid.

Lieshi belongs to the lung meridian of hand Taiyin, with the lung at the top and the highest Tibetan cover, and Lieshi belongs to the collateral of hand Taiyin. So don't go to Yangming, the pulse gas will split out of it, just like a crack in the sky. Legue acupoint is located in the gap between the two tendons on the radial side of wrist, and attention should be paid to the gap between the two tendons when inserting needles.

The feeling of needles often goes straight to the forehead, just like lightning. It's Tianmen. I think Legqog has a good effect in treating head and face diseases, and the lightning is fast and bright, which shows that after this acupoint is used well, it has an immediate effect on the disease and has a miraculous effect.

According to geographical classification, for example, acupoints containing "Xi" include Yangxi, Houxi, Xiaxi and Jiexi. Yangxi is on the radial side of the dorsal carpal striation, and when the thumb is tilted, it is in the depression between extensor pollicis brevis and extensor pollicis longus tendon; Back flow on the foot side of the palm, fist slightly clenched. When the little finger is behind this section (the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint), the distal metacarpal head is red and white. Xiaxi is between the fourth and fifth toes, at the junction of red and white behind the toes.

The oblique knee is located in the central depression of the transverse stripes of the ankle joint on the dorsum of the foot, between the extensor pollicis longus tendon web and the extensor digitorum longus tendon. Streams, gullies, running ditches and fascia seams, streams are all in the upper reaches of rivers and valleys, and turbulent riverbeds are also common. From this, we can think that the acupoints with "streams" are rugged places, small depressions behind valleys, no pools and no seas.

There are also Chengshan and Kunlun named after mountains. Chengshan is named after the meaty mountain under the fork. Kunlun, the mountain name, is located behind the tall lateral ankle. A high and stable mountain means bearing the weight and can play the role of a pillar. Once the mountain falls, things attached to it will fall, and the lower limbs support the human body. Once there is something wrong with the foot, people can't walk as usual. Therefore, these two acupoints are mainly used for low back pain, foot trembling, foot swelling and other symptoms.

According to the classification of activity places, such as windy cities and cloudy cities, the gathering place is the city. Yin Shi is the acupoint of Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, which belongs to Yin after the auxiliary bone, below the major tendon and above the minor tendon. Therefore, Yin Shi is the place where Yin Qi gathers, so acupuncture in Yin Shi can achieve the effect of warming meridians and dispelling cold, mainly treating cold hernia and cold knees.

Shi Feng is the acupoint of the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang, which is located between the two tendons outside the knee and the middle finger depression when the hand is upright, and it is the place where essence and qi gather, so it is the key point for treating wind, and it is mainly used for treating apoplexy and expelling wind.

According to the classification of buildings, such as cave window, fake window, skylight with "window" in the name of the cave. The original meaning of a window is to open a hole in the wall and roof to let light and air into the room. The eye window, as its name implies, is also a hole through the eye.

Therefore, the eye window has the function of treating eye diseases and improving vision.

False window, false arm is false chest, so it is interpreted as a ventilation hole in the chest. According to the point meaning, it can be understood that the false window is helpful for chest diseases, such as fullness in the chest, shortness of breath, breast carbuncle and so on. According to its meaning, it is the window on the chest. Acupuncture it, opening the window, welcoming the sun, has the effect of enlightening. So is a fake window good for communicating with women?

Skylight, pointing at the neck, is located in the sky, which means a ventilated hole in the sky. This point is under the curved cheek, close to the ear, and the extended meaning of the window has ordinary significance, so the skylight has the function of opening the ear to treat deafness.

According to anatomical classification, for example, acupoints with "oral" in acupoint names include Kouzi oral, Jutou oral, Zygomatic oral, Jutou oral, Bart oral and so on. Rot, caves, caves, deep space.

According to the understanding of the word "rancidity", we can accurately grasp the position of acupoints containing the word "rancidity", and the acupoints should be taken in an empty and hollow place. In the process of acupuncture, because it is a deep space, the needle should be inserted deeper, and there should be no great obstacle when entering the needle. If the needle is not inserted smoothly, it is necessary to consider whether the position and direction of the needle are wrong, and be good at grasping the hand.

According to different acupoint selection methods, such as Xia Bai, Extreme Gate and Giant Deficiency. Xia Bai needs to hold his hands straight when taking acupoints, and his lungs are white, so he is called Xia Bai. When taking points, the dustpan door should be fully displayed, shaped like a dustpan tongue. The door where temper comes out is called dustpan door. The dustpan here is a kind of utensil similar to dustpan, which is generally used to hold things in rural areas. The dustpan door is the front port of the dustpan.

Squat, squat, squat, squat when taking acupoints. Knowing the definition of acupoints, we can infer the ancient doctors' understanding of acupoints, so as to accurately locate them.

The naming of acupoints is not groundless, and the ancients were very particular about it. We can understand the significance of acupoints from the perspective of the ancients by understanding the cultural background at that time, and we can also spy on the thoughts and wisdom of the ancients from the interpretation of acupoints. More importantly, it is very helpful for us to master acupuncture points, locate acupuncture points accurately and use acupuncture points flexibly in clinic.
