Discussion paper on nine stitches and twelve flats

As mentioned above, Nine Needles and Twelve Books is not long, but it is another great summary and innovation of medical thought and theory. It involves nine needles, acupuncture, etiology and pathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnostics, treatment principles and other disciplines, as well as classics such as Tao Te Ching, Yijing, China Ancient Military Science, Huangdi Neijing and Difficult Classics. However, scholars have never studied the relevance of these contents. An ancient and naive theory, scholars have written a book as thick as Huangdi Neijing for discussion. If we study the nine needles and twelve elements in this way, the space should be even larger. Therefore, it is not easy to study and annotate the origin of nine needles and twelve points, which involves a wider range. In the process of further work, there are many things to face, and several drafts may be changed.

First of all, let's talk about the original intention of "needling meridians", which is to really make people poor due to illness (it can also be said that poverty leads to illness. As we all know, diseases should be found early, diagnosed early and treated early, but from the medical record investigation, it is found that many diseases of the people wait until the condition is serious before going to the hospital. "Poverty due to illness-poverty due to illness" is a vicious circle. Using simple, convenient, effective and cheap small needle therapy to prevent and treat diseases for ordinary people, thus reducing the burden of expensive and difficult medical treatment, which seems simple and easy on the surface, is actually not a dream. This is an ideological challenge. To promote a new process in a field, we must have new ideas different from the past. What did Su Wen start talking about? When it comes to health care, it is clearly pointed out that health care is a matter of sages, and the theory of "Four Temperaments Regulating the Spirit" is all about aristocratic health care methods. This paper says that ordinary people can't be self-sufficient in life and often get sick because of poverty. The reason may be that health care cannot be solved, so we have to try a simple, convenient, effective and inexpensive small needle knife therapy. Su Wen also talks about acupuncture, which is also fine; Difficult Classics also discusses acupuncture, which is also specialized. These medical achievements are also very clear to the author of this article. Therefore, it is also an academic challenge. Su Wen and Ling Shu are a collection of works, and there is generally no necessary connection between the chapters. This paper says that the monograph of Needle Sutra should first have a bibliography, and distinguish chapters according to the bibliography, how many sections are divided in each chapter, what is explained in each section, and the content of each section should be unique and clear, from the simple to the deep. This is a bit like the chapter layout of difficult classics, but it is more detailed, which shows that the author really attached great importance to the study of difficult classics at that time, which shows that the chapter layout is also innovative.

Under the guidance of the three major ideas of the Book of Changes: easy, easy, simple, difficult and difficult. As the original text says: "Take it when you meet it, and it is also evil." Chasing it, is it too evil to be true? "Excess and deficiency refers to the excess and deficiency of viscera of diseased specimens; First, it refers to the method of acupuncture, such as the "81 difficult points" in Difficult Classics, saying that there is no deficiency in the classics, and the loss is more than enough. Is it an inch long pulse? Does the disease have its own reality? What is its profit and loss? However, it is a disease, not an inch of pulse, but a disease with its own deficiency and reality. If the liver is solid and the lung is weak, the liver is wood and the lung is gold. Jin Mu should be more flat, and we should know that gold is flat. Pretend that the lung is solid and the liver is weak, and it is slightly qi-deficient, instead of needle tonifying the liver, and the lung is heavy, so it is said that the lung is solid and the liver is weak, and the damage is insufficient. This person is also the harm of Chinese workers. " "Profit and loss" means "reinforcing diarrhea". Treating diseases according to symptoms or diseases, failing to diagnose the deficiency of viscera, not knowing the reinforcing and reducing methods of acupuncture, that is, not knowing the changing law, blindly applying acupuncture treatment has actually done harm to patients. Therefore, this paper points out that "whoever uses needles must first feel the pulse and treat it according to the drastic change of qi." Look at its color, look at its eyes, and know its dispersion. One shape, listen to its movements, know its evil and right "rules to judge the condition. It's not easy to follow the rules. Pulse-taking, breath-watching, color-watching and eye-watching are simple diagnostic rules to prevent injury to patients. "Yi", "Yi Jian" and "Not easy" are the basic ideas of the Book of Changes. This principle has been emphasized and can be used as a guide anywhere. It seems that the old is easy to get into the difficult. Throughout the ages, the explanation is "easier said than done". It is really not in line with the original intention of the article. At the beginning, the king gave the task: "I am raised by all the people, and I collect taxes from their people;" "I'm sorry I didn't give it, but I have a disease. I want to avoid being poisoned and useless, and I want to dredge its meridians and regulate its blood gas with micro-needles. In view of its disobedience, don't let it in and out. The order can be handed down to future generations, and it must be understood as the law. The order will last for a long time, and it will be unforgettable. It's a brokerage firm, with a different chapter and a different look. Make each one tangible and stand upright. " This is pleasant and pleasant. Imagine that you might as well give an answer that is "easier said than done", which is disappointing. Isn't it bullying? What crime is that? The consequences will be serious!

On military politics in Neijing. Bidi is only a short essay with less than 150 words. It introduced acupuncture, which can talk about military affairs, and brought the ancient military plan of China to the front. The author is concerned about the country and the people and has the ability to govern the country. Unfortunately, the past has been more than a thousand years, and it is unbearable to look back. Such an important document cannot be interpreted by future generations. Once lost abroad, almost forever.

The theory of governing the country in Neijing is not only an explanatory treatise, such as Linglan Secret Book. On the surface, it is a discussion on the holistic view of human viscera and the theory of mental treatment, but in fact it is an exegetical discussion on kings, pointing out that the twelve officials should have their own candidates and perform their duties, so that the world will prosper; It is pointed out that talents should be respected and selected from a long-term perspective (twelve officials should not lose each other). Therefore, the Lord is safe, but healthy for a long time, and the broad view is not dangerous, thinking that the world is prosperous); It is pointed out that the idea of democratic governance (kidney, for strong officials, clever performance, according to: the five elements are restrained, the king (fire) system is the official (gold), and the official preaches; The official (gold) system of Xiangfu is the official (wood) of the general and the official of Zhongzheng; General officer (wood) makes warehouse officer (earth); Granary (soil) officials make strong officials (water) and officials who decide to blaspheme and state governments; Be a strong official (water) and a king (fire) and a prosperous official. To be an official is to be skillful and pretentious. It means that the people are king. The king accepted his suggestion and attached great importance to it. (The Yellow Emperor said, "I have heard of all good deeds, and I am a great sage." . The Yellow Emperor chose auspicious days and auspicious signs, but hid Linglan's room to spread the news.

From the Qing Dynasty to the middle of last century, the people of China suffered great losses in military and political systems. For example, the warlord scuffle is actually "opposing the officer and Jiang Guan (wood), and Fu Zhiguan (gold) is out of control", which brings disaster to the country and the people (it is also very clever to name Jieshi Chiang Kai-shek). Therefore, "the number of trance, born in a milli, the number of milli, starting from measurement, can benefit greatly, push greatly, its shape is made." "The order can be passed on to later generations, and it will be clear as the law, lasting forever and unforgettable. For it, it is a brokerage, which is different from its chapter and is its tail. " . Its significance is far-reaching. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that doctors do not ask politics. Sun Yat-sen and Lu Xun studied medicine, then abandoned medicine and went into politics. Medicine is to cure diseases and save lives, and military politics is to defend the country. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and medical affairs are also discussed in the classics. Isn't it the same to defend our country and defend our country and a powerful country? Throughout history, from the Qing Dynasty to the middle of the last century, the national tragedy was mainly manifested in the military. In the final analysis, the problem of military struggle is still a problem of political struggle. Military is the expression of political struggle, military obeys politics, and politics is the comprehensive guarantee of military affairs. Medical care, military affairs and politics are all important matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and medical care and military affairs should be subordinate to politics.

Nine Needles and Twelve Original discusses and implements medical affairs from the height of national economy and people's livelihood. To sum up in such simple language as "keeping shape and customs" and "keeping spirit and machine", militarily, the important factors of war are weapons and equipment and positions, and the strategy and tactics of strategic maneuver are noble. In medical affairs, the important factor of medical treatment is medical conditions. Clear diagnosis and flexible treatment rules are noble medical skills.

Huangdi Neijing pays attention to life and tells about medicine, involving astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy, history, military affairs and politics. It is an encyclopedia around life problems, profound, curious and exploring.
