"I’ve read a bit."
"What’s the treatnt principle?" Zhou Jiande, rarely excited, asked.
Just now, when Lu Xuan ntioned he had dabbled in so knowledge, Zhou thought he was joking and casually asked a question. To his surprise, Lu Xuan actually had studied it.
Of course, such things can be read in dical books, but rembering them is not that easy.
"Pacify the wind and calm spasms, nourish the liver and kidneys," Lu Xuan responded with eight characters.
This ti, not only was Zhou Jiande surprised, but even the two students he brought couldn’t help but turn and look at the young man who was several years younger than them.
To be blunt, even they didn’t know much about pacifying the wind, yet this outsider knew more than they did and could even accurately differentiate conditions.
The two imdiately put away their disdain for Lu Xuan.
Zhou Jiande also looked serious, pointed to where he was applying the needles: "Do you recognize these acupoints?"
"Hegu, Taichong, Fengchi, Fengfu..." Lu Xuan identified them one by one.
Zhou Jiande couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Xuan. Being able to accurately identify acupoints isn’t easy. Even his two students didn’t dare to say they could distinguish all acupoints on the human body without sotis relying on models. Yet here was an acupuncture enthusiast who had learned so thoroughly, how could he not be amazed?
"Do you know their functions?"
"I do."
Lu Xuan didn’t say much more.
"Hegu is the original acupoint of the hand Yangming ridian, which ascends to the head and face. Taichong is the original acupoint of the Jueyin liver ridian, which can calm liver wind and stop convulsions. Both are taken far along the ridian.
Fengchi is an acupoint of the foot Shaoyang gallbladder ridian. ’All wind dizziness relates to the liver.’
The liver and gallbladder correspond; Fengfu is a convergence acupoint of the Du ridian, foot Taiyang, and Yangwei, both can pacify wind and calm spasms.
Baihui is a convergence acupoint of the Du ridian and the three Yang of the hands and feet, with the function of calming spasms and pacifying wind.
Zusanli strengthens the spleen and supplents qi and blood. Liver Shu nourishes the liver and kidneys; Geshu is the eting point of blood, and the two acupoints combined can supplent liver blood.
Shenshu is the back Shu acupoint of the kidneys; Taixi is the original acupoint of the kidney ridian; Sanyinjiao is a convergence acupoint of the three yin ridians of the foot. The three combined have the function of nourishing yin and supplenting the liver and kidneys.
If using dication, it should expel wind and calm spasms. Yuzhen Powder is just right for the symptoms."
"You can also prescribe dicine?"
An expert’s skills are evident at first glance.
What Lu Xuan said might seem like it could just be morized, but with so many acupoints in the human body, it’s not just morization that allows for complete recall. Without a certain level of acupuncture skills and clinical experience, it’s impossible to rember so much content.
Moreover, to differentiate conditions and prescribe treatnts requires skill.
It’s not achievable without so ability.
Now, Zhou Jiande beca even more curious about Lu Xuan.
He originally thought this was just a patient seeking acupuncture who had so understanding in this area. But now, it seed very different from what he initially thought.
This isn’t knowledge that can be mastered through re hobby; it requires a high level of skill.
Many acupuncture doctors have imrsed themselves in this field for years, yet they probably don’t know as much as Lu Xuan.
Zhou Jiande even thought that this young fellow might be more comprehensive than he was, and if asked to guide his two students, he might still miss so points, perhaps even so situations he couldn’t explain so clearly.
At this point, Zhou Jiande had to reassess this young man in front of him.
Patient?
Impossible.
With skills like this, he could perform acupuncture on himself, so there was no need to co to the United South Chinese dicine Association to find him.
If not a patient, then...
"Are you a doctor too?" Zhou Jiande voiced his speculation.
"Elder Zhou has seen through ," Lu Xuan chuckled awkwardly, not expecting to be recognized so quickly by Zhou Jiande.
However, on second thought, if he were truly a patient, he wouldn’t know so much, let alone co to the United South Chinese dicine Association when he was fully capable of performing acupuncture on himself.
With that, it’s only natural that Zhou Jiande could guess so things.
"I ca today," Lu Xuan explained briefly.
Zhou Jiande thought Lu Xuan might be so big shot’s new assistant, and he asked, "This should be quite a busy ti; aren’t you staying in the consultation room?"
"No patients,"
Lu Xuan clarified, "So I ca out to wander around. All the other consultation rooms were closed, and I didn’t want to disturb them, but I saw Dr. Zhou’s door was open, and there was a patient receiving acupuncture inside, so I ca out of curiosity."
"I thought as much. If you were just an enthusiast, there’s no way you’d study so deeply. My two students have been learning acupuncture from for years and still don’t know as much as you do."
Zhou Jiande had an epiphany, "But I have to say, it’s rare to see soone with such profound knowledge of acupuncture. By the way, which doctor’s assistant are you? I’ll have a word with him and see if you can be my assistant instead."
He was genuinely captivated by this youngster, who was far more impressive than his two sowhat slow students. He thought that with Lu Xuan’s talent, if he followed him to learn acupuncture, he could beco proficient within a few years.
By then, all the work in the acupuncture departnt could be handed to Lu Xuan, while he could enjoy a more hands-off role.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan realized that Zhou Jiande had misunderstood, so he explained, "I’m not soone’s assistant. I’m Dr. Lu, who just started consultations here today, Elder Zhou. I’m delighted to witness your expertise."
"You’re a doctor here at the United South Chinese dicine Association for consultations?"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, there was a continuous sound of gasping in the acupuncture room, and the three pairs of eyes directed at Lu Xuan were filled with unimaginable shock.
The two performing electroacupuncture exchanged looks before swallowing hard, eyes full of surprise.
Zhou Jiande also squinted his eyes at this mont, slowly exhaling, and said in a heavy voice, "I thought you were an assistant to so doctor, but unexpectedly, you’re the doctor who’s here for consultations today—Dr. Lu. If you hadn’t just said what you did, it would’ve been hard to believe that soone just over twenty years old could receive an invitation from the United South Chinese dicine Association."
No wonder he spoke comprehensively with nothing omitted; even so points he hadn’t considered, Lu Xuan could articulate clearly. Now, it made perfect sense.
Aside from Lu Xuan’s age, anyone who could receive an invitation from the United South Chinese dicine Association for consultations surely possessed extraordinary skills.
However, what he pondered more was, at such a young age, did he begin learning from inside the womb to achieve his current accomplishnt?
People unfamiliar with Chinese dicine, or who haven’t been exposed to studying it, hardly realize how difficult it is to master.
The more you understand Chinese dicine, the clearer you beco on its vastness and profundity.
Those in the know understand the weight of Lu Xuan’s previous words and the significance of receiving an invitation from the United South Chinese dicine Association.
Gaining insight into sothing small and seeing the bigger picture.
Even though it was rely a discussion on differentiating and treating wind conditions and analyzing acupoints, this tiny bit conveyed so much depth.
Zhou Jiande couldn’t help but focus intently on Lu Xuan.
In his early twenties, could this be the legendary prodigy?
Zhou Jiande truly couldn’t fathom how Lu Xuan acquired such knowledge, breaking the all-ti record of the United South Chinese dicine Association and receiving an invitation.
Is Chinese dicine this simple?
Zhou Jiande still rembers when he first started with acupuncture, not knowing how long it took just to read and morize dical books, how many tis he had experinted on himself, slowly gaining so fa, and having patients willingly co for acupuncture.
At fifty-sothing, he finally received the United South Chinese dicine Association’s invitation.
Chinese dicine isn’t just about reciting ancient texts and not understanding the content is okay; you need to comprehend it and be able to apply it flexibly.
If you don’t thoroughly learn the knowledge to treat and save lives, you not only can’t help people but might also harm them.
It cannot be taken lightly.
Especially acupuncture, where Zhou Jiande practically risked his life to gain his current technical skills.
To say nothing of other things, finding individuals brave enough to needle important points on themselves must be scarce.
This requires not just courage but also confidence in your own skills.
You need both.
