? Read the preface 1 of the emergence of traditional Chinese medicine. The mystery of pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. This aroused my great curiosity. First of all, I'm curious why Lao Wei used such a topic. Secondly, what about pulse magic? Furthermore, what have I learned from the mystery of pulse demon and the truth of pulse diagnosis? Where is the future of Chinese medicine ... Although this preface is short, it has caused many thoughts and feelings. There are three main points:
Perception 1: What have I learned from the mystery of pulse demon and the truth of pulse diagnosis?
? Read Lao Wei's preface 1. The mystery of TCM pulse diagnosis, I just know, pulse demon is not a demon. She is a skillful method of diagnosis and treatment by ancient doctors. At that time, doctors treated patients with pulse diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, which was "as effective as a drum" and "doing everything possible" and achieved perfect results. Coincidentally, through the long river of time and space, she is also one of the few great doctors' diagnosis and treatment stunts. For example, Mr. Ren Wei, the founder of Webster's pulse diagnosis method, proved that pulse demon is not a demon but a treasure of Chinese civilization with the peculiar curative effect of decades of clinical practice. Pulse demon became a "monster" after the Jin and Tang Dynasties, especially in the eyes of today's people, because she lost the soul of classical Chinese medicine and became the decoration of later doctors' diagnosis and treatment, thus making later people feel that she is magical and elusive, unable to understand her principles at all and unable to reproduce her incredible curative effect.
? Look at the mystery of pulse diagnosis again. The original meaning of mystery refers to something that is not understood or difficult to understand In my interpretation, there are three mysteries about pulse diagnosis: 1. Why did ancient doctors use pulse diagnosis so well? 2. Why did it depreciate sharply after the Jin and Tang Dynasties? 3. Why don't people pay any attention to it? After reading Lao Wei's preface I, I found the answer. A 1: ancient doctors used pulse diagnosis well because classical Chinese medicine established and applied the "ring" model. Ancient physicians found that "cutting the pulse means cutting the qi". The "Qi" of the human body system communicates with the outside world and internal body and mind, and connects all parts of the body into an inseparable whole. Make the body move from disorder to order, and control all local functional processes. Qi is closely related to pulse condition, physiology and pathology. Answer 2: After the Jin and Tang Dynasties, the whole theory centered on "Qi" gradually dispersed, and the clinical value of pulse diagnosis depreciated accordingly. In fact, this is not only the devaluation of pulse diagnosis, but also the loss of the overall view of the system. This is equivalent to losing the soul of Chinese medicine. Answer 3: People nowadays don't pay attention to it at all because the soul of Chinese medicine has never really been brought back after being thrown away. Without the soul, TCM pulse diagnosis has naturally become a doctor's decoration, and the curative effect can be imagined. Moreover, the essence of ancient medical books is less and less absorbed, and doctors are becoming more and more conservative, but it is not the essence of ancient medical books that is strongly conservative. Doctors have no spiritual support; Patients can't see the curative effect, and over time, they are ignored and marginalized.
The strange clinical effect of Perception 2 made me understand the charm of "Dao" and "Shu"
? First of all, reading that Lao Wei founded S Chinese Medicine originated from an idea, that is, to explore whether the one-inch pulse wave touching the radial artery with three fingers can diagnose diseases, and for this reason, he conducted a clinical experimental study of random diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of pulse diagnosis for decades. I was deeply moved by Lao Wei's persistence in truth. I carefully read 9 medical records and "comments" included in this article, and I was very impressed by this master of Chinese medicine.
? I deeply admire these three points: 1. Lao Wei can directly understand the nature of the disease through the intermediary of pulse diagnosis; 2. Teacher Wei's clinical practice of "curing the root cause" is fruitful: simplifying complex problems-no more than 20 kinds of drugs are commonly used in clinic; There are no more than twenty commonly used acupoints. Different treatments for the same disease, the same treatment for different diseases, pulse diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, random prescription and acupoint selection do not need those complicated "theories" and "rules" invented subjectively at all. Under the guidance of holographic pulse diagnosis, Lao Wei got rid of subjective and arbitrary disease judgment based on local and superficial observation. Based on pulse differentiation, common diseases can be cured in a short time (not involving asthenia and phytotoxicity) with a very small dose (generally 0.0 1-3g) of common drugs, even foods with the same origin of medicine and food (such as ginseng, licorice, lentils, etc.). ). In the medical records of more than 200 cases of high fever compiled by Lao Wei, most of them were cured by one injection and one dose at a time. Few people need two kinds of treatment. Moreover, there is absolutely no bad regulation of depression therapy and the harm of forced fever reduction to the body. 3. Lao Wei's Nine Doctors, which combined Taoist thoughts, made me understand the truth of touching the cardinal and communicating; Knowing the speed at which symptoms disappear is not the main basis for measuring curative effect. The faster the "curative effect", the greater the harm to the body. It also made me understand the difference in the past. The so-called western medicine emphasizes "existence" and "form"; Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes nothingness and qi. In fact, from the height of Tao, existence, nothingness, form and qi are the same thing; It also made me repeatedly understand the principle of regulating qi and treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, that is, "life is tangible, each part is complex, with different shapes and merits, but it is only the ear of the meridian qi system." Under the normal atmosphere, with the cooperation of hundreds of officials, all diseases are not born; If there are differences in S, there will be many diseases. "
What is the way to revitalize Chinese medicine?
? In this article, Lao Wei bluntly pointed out that "the future Chinese medicine will continue to shrink if it still sticks to the rules." Where is the road to revitalization? 1, first of all, the essence of "retro". If you abandon your own essence and reluctantly combine with western medicine, you will be completely westernized; If you are afraid of "retro" and abandon the essence, you will become a sinner through the ages.
2. The revitalization direction of TCM lies in the modernization of TCM. To realize the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, we must realize the "four modernizations" (1), and get rid of the fuzziness, obscurity and pluralism of basic concepts; (2) The systematization of the basic theory with holistic syndrome differentiation as the main content must get rid of the shackles of a large number of unsystematic holistic syndrome differentiation methods (such as syndrome differentiation of eight classes, syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs, syndrome differentiation of six meridians, etc.). ) take "symptoms" and "syndromes" (local symptoms and local conditions) as the core; (3) Simplify internal (syndrome differentiation) and external (diagnosis and treatment) operation procedures; (4) Objectification of the basis of syndrome differentiation and diagnosis. The objectification (quantification and standardization) of the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment in these four modernizations is the premise of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine and the "combination point" of traditional Chinese medicine and modern science and technology. In the process of modernization of Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis has more advantages than the four methods of Chinese medicine: looking, smelling and asking. Pulse diagnosis has formed a systematic theory, and pulse wave can be quantified; In addition, the pulse condition can be analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively as well as randomly and statistically. Once it is combined with the two magic weapons of modern science and technology-information extraction and system identification, it will surely lead the modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine. Realize Lao Wei's beautiful wish: "Dig and deepen a systematic medicine that originated in ancient times and extend forward under modern conditions." Dedicate this treasure of Chinese civilization to all mankind, be healthy forever and share the same life.
