Are the dead holes and dumb holes in film and television dramas true?

In film and television dramas, the skills of clicking on dead points and dumb points are exaggerated and fabricated. Acupoints are closely related to acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, which can be said to be an extension of acupuncture. Pressing a certain acupoint may cause pain, numbness, acid and other reactions, but as a martial art, it is obviously not as magical as the legend.

First, acupuncture in film and television dramas is based on traditional medicine. In kung fu movies and martial arts novels, there is a kind of magical kung fu that often appears, and that is the dense acupuncture points. The most common way is to close the acupoints, and you can't move for several hours, until you untie the acupoints, you can recover freely, or even die immediately or be disabled for life. Is there really such an almost magical stitch in China Wushu?

China Wushu and traditional medicine have always been complementary. Traditional medicine has had an important influence on traditional Wushu theory, and acupuncture is one of them.

Traditional medicine believes that the human body has a path of blood circulation, that is, meridians. The human body has "the twelve meridians" and "eight strange meridians", including ren meridian and du meridian. Acupoints are the input places of qi and blood of meridians and viscera. Stimulating a certain acupoint can block the smooth flow of meridians. Once the meridians are blocked, the body will have symptoms such as numbness and pain. The acupuncture method of Wushu is completely based on the meridian theory of traditional medicine.

Second, exaggerating fabricated ingredients According to the secret recipe of Shaolin Boxing, Zhang Sanfeng invented 72 acupressure in his later years.

It is also recorded in the book that Zhang Chuang, a Shaolin layman, invented acupuncture methods. His needling method has thirty-six hands, including nine soft hemp points, nine dizzy points, nine light points and nine heavy points, which form "pressing hands at thirty-six points".

The acupuncture techniques recorded in Shaolin Acupoint Method written by Deqian, a Shaolin monk in the Qing Dynasty have greatly increased. Only the "dead point" has a "fatal score of 36 points". Besides the dead point, there are "coma 1 1 point" and "disability 103 point".

However, human acupoints are a profound knowledge, and acupuncture needs a thorough understanding of Chinese medicine. Unlike the literature and film and television works, it only takes a little hand to cause people's disability, which is obviously exaggerated and fabricated.
