Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Business Club February 17th

Acupuncture and moxibustion is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and has made tremendous contributions to the reproduction of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Today, the successful application of Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion has given me great feelings. This is not only a happy event for the Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion community, but also further enhances the Chinese nation’s self-confidence and pride.

Cheng Qianxian wishes to turn the Chinese medicine doctor into a world doctor

The Chinese nation was the first to use acupuncture. In the Tang Dynasty medical scientist Sun Seri (AD 581-682), "Prepare for the Thousand Gold Precipitates" said: "Needle but not moxibustion, moxibustion and needles are not good medicine." In AD 1822, the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty awarded It is said that “a great sacred sacred place is not suitable for the princes”, so that the Taiyuan Hospital will stop the acupuncture and moxibustion department for a long time, and the development of acupuncture will be seriously hindered, but it still spreads in the folk.

In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, with the gradual progress of Western learning, acupuncture and moxibustion were more difficult to achieve. TCM was further affected. Famous modern acupuncturists and acupuncturists in modern China, known as the "father of Chinese acupuncture and rejuvenation," Mr. Cheng Danan (1899-1957), to carry forward the acupuncture and moxibustion of the motherland as an urgent task, to promote the promotion of academic acupuncture as their duty. The same way, open school. The first was the establishment of the Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Research Society; the second was the publication of China's earliest magazine for acupuncture and moxibustion—"Acupuncture and Moxibustion Journal"; the third was the creation of the earliest acupuncture specialty hospital in China, and the writing of more than ten academic monographs; and the fourth was to study in Japan. , to study the development of acupuncture in Japan. After decades of practice, there are more than 10,000 disciples at home and abroad. He has made outstanding contributions to the modern revival of acupuncture and moxibustion in China, and has exerted a tremendous influence on modern acupuncture research and development. He is the founder of the transformation of traditional acupuncture and moxibustion to modern acupuncture and moxibustion.

Mr. Cheng said in his book "The Newly Accredited Chinese Acupuncture Therapeutics": "Our country has thousands of years of unique medical techniques that can be promoted in the world. We are fortunate enough to be personal!" He published the first issue of "Acupuncture Journal" on October 10, 1933. On the appeal: "The people of Wuhu should support the country's culture and strive hard. They must learn from each other and carry forward the study of the world, and make the world doctor." This fully reflects the broad minds and world vision of the sages of the forerunners. .

After the founding of New China, the Party and the government called for the inheritance of the medical heritage of the motherland. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been developed at an unprecedented speed. Chinese medicine institutions have established acupuncture and moxibustion departments. For various reasons, the promotion and development of acupuncture has been relatively slow. After the reform and opening up, acupuncture has developed a great deal. It is believed that after the successful application of Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, the fortunes of Mr. Cheng and other seniors will become a reality.

The moxibustion method is simple and easy to use

Nowadays, acupuncture has been spread all over the world. At present, there are more than 160 countries in the world that use Chinese acupuncture. However, as the birthplace of acupuncture, acupuncture has not been widely popularized and promoted in our country. In fact, needles and moxibustion have their own strengths and cannot be replaced by acupuncture or moxibustion. There are many people who use acupuncture nowadays. People are more familiar with it. The moxibustion method is used less often and people do not know it. As a result, acupuncture and moxibustion has lost half of its effect, which is a pity. It can be said that "moxibustion" faces a crisis of loss.

Before the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States period, the Chinese nation used moxibustion. "Zuo Zhuan," said that 10 years after the end of the public (581 BC), Jin Jing was ill and the imperial doctor ordered the doctor to delay the visit. The medical doctor said: "Immediately ill, Ill, Under the attack, the attack cannot be achieved, and the drug is not taken. "The "attack" mentioned here is the moxibustion method, and "reaching" means acupuncture. In Mencius, there are records of "seven years of illness seeking three years of Ai." In the 1973 book of the Mawangdui No. 3 Han tomb unearthed in Changsha, there were 3 articles that recorded the meridian and moxibustion method, which may be precious documents in the early period of Huangdi Neijing.

In the history of Chinese medicine, medical practitioners of all ages have attached great importance to moxibustion. For example, in the “Introduction to Medicine” in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yu said: “Where there is no medicine, if needles are not available, moxibustion must be used.” Moxibustion has a long history, but it is not ancient. It is not backward and it is still very practical. It is not a method of soil, but it is one of the techniques used to treat diseases and diseases in Chinese medicine. The moxibustion method is safe, secure, economical, and cost-effective. It is easy to learn and use. As long as you master skills and operate correctly, you don't have much pain and harmless to the human body and the environment.

In short, moxibustion has the characteristics of simplicity, convenience, honesty, and experience. Medical doctors have left many books and trials. It has been confirmed by modern medical science experiments at home and abroad that moxibustion can activate the function of organs and promote metabolism. Moxibustion can regulate blood pressure, respiration, pulse, heart rate, nerves, blood vessels, blood, endocrine, and immune system. It can prevent and treat some diseases that are not yet treated, such as viral hepatitis B and chronic diseases. Nephritis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, cancer, leukemia and other diseases.

In addition, moxibustion can also be combined with Chinese and Western medicines for synergistic treatment. Regardless of surgical interventions such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, stenting, and dialysis, symptoms and discomfort are accompanied by the treatment. Medication and care are also required. In this case, moxibustion can be used.

Inheritance of Acupuncture Urgently Needs to Improve Academic Technology

Acupuncture and moxibustion can be passed down to today, mainly relying on its reliable and reliable efficacy. Efficacy is the hard truth. After the successful application of Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, the tasks we face are even heavier. We have to go longer and do more. The most important thing is to improve the academic level of acupuncture and moxibustion. If the level is high and the curative effect is good, it will be accepted and recognized by more and more people. Only then can there be greater development.

At present, the incidence and death rate of chronic non-communicable diseases in China are still rising. The threat of infectious diseases still exists. The problem of aging has become increasingly serious. The burden of disease and public health have become the focus and focus of the society. The problem of “difficult to see a doctor and expensive to see a doctor” is very prominent. Acupuncture and moxibustion are very useful in this area, and it exerts its unique role of “simple, convenient, inexpensive, and positive”. Acupuncture, especially moxibustion, has a vast “wasteland” in front of us, and it is urgent for us to discover, develop, and practice. Medical institutions at all levels should pay attention to the development of acupuncture and do more popularization and promotion work. It is necessary to intensify the training of acupuncturists, through various forms of education and training, and vigorously improve the academic level of acupuncture and moxibustion to contribute to the benefit of mankind.
