Acupuncture has been used to save lives since ancient times in Chinese medicine, but how did the ancients practice it?

Chinese medicine is actually a very profound discipline, and the valuable experience summed up by gray-haired healers from generation to generation is astounding. Despite the emergence of many crooks under the banner of Chinese medicine to woo people and give Chinese medicine a bad name, most of us still believe in the reliability of real Chinese medicine. Even today, when the development of medicine is becoming more and more advanced and sophisticated, the ancient art of Chinese medicine plays a huge role.

Acupuncture is a very important element in Chinese medicine, as is the science of harmony in music. A good, good doctor, a great doctor with great acupuncture skills, is almost never a young one. Because the difficulty of learning medicine is too difficult, not to mention acupuncture, not even a doctor's nurses, want to practice good needle infusion need a lot of practice and practice, hospital infusion area will often be internship nurses because of the rusty skills and be reprimanded by the patient. Acupuncture want to practice well, want to really cure the sick to save people, naturally more need to put decades of effort. And it also requires practicing with live people and objects. After all, if you just memorize the medical books, you can't really save a wide variety of patients.

We already had acupuncture charts in ancient China, and people learning acupuncture first needed to memorize the charts and the mnemonics taught by their masters, and then practice. This practice naturally can not be the beginning of the practice with a live person, acupuncture using the needle is very long, a little careless zap dead people is not impossible, this is inhumane not to mention, it is likely to have not yet learned to save a person's life on the back first. Before the real treatment of people, the ancient apprentices of the art are usually experimented with their own bodies. Finding acupuncture points on their own bodies to practice their techniques. So did the guy who originally invented acupuncture therapy.

So a good doctor is very rare and needs to customer service all kinds of difficulties to be qualified to save others. In the ancient mythology of our Chinese civilization, there is a Shennong who invented the art of healing. Legend has it that Shennong was the one who used himself as a test subject and tasted all kinds of herbs before summing up the method of curing diseases and saving people's lives.
