How to learn acupuncture?

As one of the three quintessences of the Chinese nation, Chinese medicine is gradually moving towards the world with the rise of international "Chinese medicine fever" and "acupuncture fever" in recent years. Some scholars in the world have made such a metaphor: Chinese medicine is like a golden crown, and acupuncture is the shining pearl in the crown.

As a practical clinical discipline, acupuncture has a rich theoretical foundation and a lot of clinical knowledge. If you don't master certain learning methods, it is not easy to learn well.

1, to highlight the law and key points.

We should extract as many regular things as possible from numerous contents. It is of great help to promote learning, enlighten thinking and strengthen memory. For example, it is necessary to master and be familiar with the trend and intersection law, distribution characteristics, meridian relationship and other key contents of meridians. (Methods: Recite songs, draw charts, demonstrate postures, etc. )

2. Remember the distribution (chanting) and starting and ending points of each meridian respectively.

For example, the yin meridian starts and ends at the inner end of the toe, and the yang meridian starts and ends at the outer end of the toe, which is * * *. But it also has its particularity: for example, the large intestine meridian of hand Yangming starts from the inner end of index finger and ends at the opposite side of nose; The liver meridian of Foot Jueyin originates from the lateral end of toe.

The best way to remember meridians is to actually measure them on human body, so practice makes perfect.

When remembering meridian symptoms, you should remember the main points first and then the details. For example, the indications of lung meridian are cough, asthma, excessive phlegm, chest tightness, throat discomfort, etc. At the same time, we can also see others such as wind chill, spontaneous sweating, lack of basin, shoulder and arm pain, etc.
