In the afternoon, Lu Jiu and others visited the intangible cultural heritage projects.
Many of the unique traditions in traditional Chinese dicine also opened Lu Jiu’s eyes.
Besides so therapeutic techniques, there are many secret recipes.
For example, using poisonous insects as dicine, using minerals as dicine, and so on.
Many of these things are very effective.
However, not many people know about them.
Of course, these things are also quite difficult to pass down.
On one hand, few people know and can use them, and on the other, there are not many opportunities for these inheritors to share their knowledge.
When these inheritors grow old, the break in inheritance is evident.
By that ti, part of traditional Chinese dicine knowledge may truly only serve as heritage, displayed in museums.
A whole afternoon allowed Lu Jiu to learn a lot.
Although it couldn’t improve his dical skills, it did make him feel a touch more respect.
Traditional Chinese dicine is far more profound than what he had grasped.
"Hello, you must be Lu Jiu, right? And Dean Huang too."
Just as everyone finished their visit and was about to leave, Grado suddenly appeared in front of Lu Jiu.
She looked at Lu Jiu and the others with a smile, "A student of a friend of mine ntioned you. They said you are quite impressive, being able to figure out their illnesses just by a casual glance."
Hearing this, the people around also looked at Lu Jiu.
The observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking in traditional Chinese dicine are not differentiated by levels. The four diagnostic thods are a comprehensive ans of examination. Relatively speaking, pulse-taking is the easiest to start with, whereas observation requires a lot of practical experience.
Since things like complexion can vary depending on different people, different ages, different tis, and different conditions.
Being able to diagnose an illness based on observation alone requires not only an excellent skill in observing qi but also deducing from the patient’s subtleties what internal issues lead to their current complexion.
There’s always a bit of guessing involved.
But for those who dare to guess, they generally have so skill!
Lu Jiu wasn’t overly modest, "There’s an elent of luck, but I can see the general picture."
Grado seed to appreciate Lu Jiu’s confidence.
"May I have the honor of visiting your hospital?"
Oh?
Lu Jiu, upon hearing this, imdiately smiled, "Of course, but my teacher and I need to stay in Jinling for a few more days."
Grado laughed, "It’s just a few days; I can wait. Let’s exchange contact information."
Lu Jiu said, "Alright."
After scanning each other’s codes and adding Lu Jiu on WeChat, Grado pulled out a USB drive from her pocket, "Lu Jiu, this contains my Five Elents Acupuncture Technique. I made a separate copy just for you, although another was given to the Jinling Health Commission."
Uh...
A gift just for him?
This gift is indeed quite significant!
"Professor Glado, this..." Lu Jiu felt unworthy of such a gesture.
Having almost no interaction with this professor and receiving such a major gift upon eting made Lu Jiu feel quite uneasy.
Grado smiled, "Take it. If more doctors in your hospital learn the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique, more patients can be helped. I’m delighted to see such a developnt."
"Of course, I’m also eager to study at your hospital. If possible, I’d like to bring this model to De Hans. Consider this as my tuition fee."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu glanced at Huang Fusheng. Seeing him nodding with a smile, he no longer declined, "Thank you, Professor Glado!"
Grado laughed, "You’re welco. I’ll let you be. Goodbye."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Take care."
Seeing the USB drive in Lu Jiu’s hand, everyone was particularly envious.
Especially the younger doctors.
Although Grado had given another copy to the Jinling Health Commission, they had no idea if or when they’d be able to learn it.
Lu Jiu was different. If he wished, he could study it right away.
Holding the USB drive, Lu Jiu turned to look at Huang Fusheng and the others, "Teacher, Principal, would you like a copy as well?"
Since Grado had agreed that he could teach others the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique, Lu Jiu naturally couldn’t forget Huang Fusheng and Shen Congwei.
Although they currently work in Jianghan, each has their own hospital.
The Five Elents Acupuncture Technique would be a considerable asset to them.
"Sure, copy it for after dinner," Huang Fusheng smiled.
"I also want to see how the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique differs from the Navel Needle," Shen Congwei smiled.
Then, they went to the cafeteria for dinner and afterward returned to their rooms to copy the materials.
Lu Jiu also took this opportunity to study the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique.
"The sky has five elents to govern five positions, creating cold, heat, dryness, dampness, and wind; humans have five viscera, transforming five qi to generate joy, anger, contemplation, worry, and fear..."
"The foundation of the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique lies in Yin and Yang, which have balance, mutual roots, waxing and waning, transformation..."
"Wood, fire, earth, tal, and water—these are expressions of qi in motion, interpreted in various states, divided into five qi, combined as one qi, circulating and repeating endlessly..."
The first line of the video was incredibly familiar to Lu Jiu.
These words were clearly from the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor.
The theoretical basis of the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique has traces of the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, which didn’t surprise Lu Jiu.
After all, the therapeutic thods created by later practitioners are inseparable from it.
Professor Glado’s Five Elents Acupuncture Technique, the first session entirely covered the theoretical foundation of it.
The primary part focused on explaining the Yin Yang Five Elents and the interpretation of qi.
Lu Jiu didn’t find it difficult to understand, even finding it quite simple.
Because Lu Jiu’s foundation in acupuncture is incredibly solid, and he also understands the Yijing Bagua.
Concepts like Yin Yang Five Elents were already deeply understood by him.
At this mont, learning it felt like Zhang Wuji, who already mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, was now learning the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
After watching four or five sessions of the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique, Lu Jiu began trying out its thods.
The point selection in the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique is ingenious. It uses the combination of the six yin ridian’s five transporting points and the six yang ridian’s five transporting points.
We all know that each of the Five Viscera has five transporting points, naly "Well, Brook, Stream, River, Sea," corresponding to "Wood, Fire, Earth, tal, Water."
For example, the "Well" point of the lung ridian of the hand-taiyin is the Shaoshang point, a wood attribute point.
Then there’s the "Well" point of the kidney ridian of the foot-shaoyin, the Yongquan point, which is also wood attribute.
Through these fixed acupoints and their corresponding attributes, various combinations can be used to treat many diseases.
As for the technique, it’s almost the most minor aspect of the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique.
One might even say it doesn’t require any specific technique.
It relies solely on point selection for treatnt.
Since the selected points aren’t many, the combinations aren’t complex, and the acupuncture technique doesn’t have stringent requirents.
This significantly reduces the difficulty for those learning this technique.
If the efficacy holds up, this technique could beco a foundational ultimate skill for many doctors.
Moreover, as long as one understands Yin Yang Five Elents, learning it won’t be too difficult, making it perfectly suitable for training new doctors.
Tsk tsk tsk!
This really is a great find!
