Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 862 Providing Timely Help: The Five Elements and Six Qi Acupuncture Technique (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"I found this fire needle to be a really good thing. As long as it is heated and quickly inserted into the acupoint, it can not only reduce the patient's pain, but also achieve a stronger warm stimulation effect than ordinary acupuncture. It doesn't even matter whether the patient can breathe or not. As long as the heat is sufficient, the blood and qi will still be affected by it."

"Think about it, wouldn't this reduce the learning cost significantly and allow more people to learn fire needle therapy?"

Professor He Puren spoke to the dialect.

Fang Yan gave a thoughtful look and nodded:

"Um……"

Then, remembering the limitations of fire needles, he said to He Puren:
"However, it probably won't work for all of them, right? And using this method on some acupoints might be a bit dangerous. Also, the unique warming effect of fire needles might not be suitable for some acupoints that need to be purged, right?"

He Puren slapped his thigh and said:
"Yes, so I need to come up with a solution."

"Many treatment options have not yet undergone clinical trials. This is a huge undertaking, so I was thinking that if more people could join my project, there would be more data and medical cases to refer to."

He asked in dialect:

"So, you were with Elder Cheng just now, also about this matter?"

Professor He Puren said:
“That’s right, he’s the director of the acupuncture research institute. He’s the one I’m most likely to get this done.”

"There is also an acupuncture hospital next to the acupuncture research institute, and the clinical trials there have been no problems."

After saying that, he asked in dialect:

"I wonder if Dr. Fang would be interested?"

After hearing this, Fang Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Of course, researching fire needles is a good thing, and I would be happy to help if I can."

She had long been familiar with He Puren's fire needle therapy, although he hadn't personally taught her, it was all based on his experience.

Agreeing to it, like auricular acupuncture, would accelerate his research.

More importantly, it allowed me to gain access to He Puren's network of connections.

He's back now but hasn't taken up any position yet. Fang Yan's agreement to work on a project with him is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Upon hearing Fang Yan's agreement, He Puren was overjoyed.

You should know that dialects are now highly valued by the higher-ups; they're practically the Ministry of Health's favorite child.

If he is involved in a project, then the Ministry of Health's attention to it is just around the corner.

I just got back from abroad. I haven't contacted or maintained my connections in China for a long time. I just need someone of this caliber to make things right.

Fang Yan's agreement to join undoubtedly added a significant advantage to his position.

He Puren couldn't help but laugh:

"Haha, okay, then I'll get you a copy of my current research findings on fire needles later!"

"After you take it back and look at it, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

"If there is an opportunity in clinical practice, please use it more often."

Fang Yan nodded:
"No problem, I've got it."

It also stated:
"I will share my medical records and experience with you after I use it."

He Puren said to the dialect:

"Haha, good, good. I knew I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw Dr. Fang today. It seems we really do get along well."

"I feel the same way!" Fang Yan chimed in.

In martial arts novels, in this kind of atmosphere, one would typically chop off a chicken's head and burn yellow paper.

Now He Puren felt that his visit to Elder Cheng today was preordained.

I just happened to encounter a dialect.

……

When they arrived at He Puren's house, Fang Yan realized that his house was actually quite big.

The hospital here is even more spacious than Meng Jimin's home. His children are already working, and when he went to work in Africa, his wife took care of everything at home.

When Fang Yan arrived, no one was home.

He Puren found a bunch of books for Fang Yan and sent them all to Fang Yan at once.

Some of them were written in his early years, and some were written while he was in Africa.

It comprehensively covers his research and clinical experience during his middle age.

Fortunately, Fang Yan had also practiced martial arts, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to lift so many books.

Seeing Fang Yan casually carrying a pile of books out the door, He Puren realized that Fang Yan's kung fu skills were probably not bad either.

At the very least, their basic skills are definitely very solid.

If it weren't for the feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate, He Puren would have liked to invite Fang Yan to practice.

After Fang Yan put the book in the car, the two got back in and headed towards the research institute.

On the way, He Puren started talking about his story of learning martial arts.

As we chatted, the topic of learning martial arts in dialect came up.

Fang Yan knew he wanted to know the story of how he learned martial arts, so he briefly told him about his apprenticeship.

They said it was still a short time, and they were only learning the basics. He Puren then gave up the idea of ​​practicing with Fang Yan, after all, he was an experienced person, and Fang Yan was a novice.

“Then your basic skills look very solid,” He Puren said.

He said in dialect:

I practice every morning.

"Medicine and martial arts are inseparable!"

Upon hearing the dialect say this, He Puren nodded in strong agreement.

If he hadn't known kung fu, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back from Africa.

……

The two chatted all the way back to the research institute, where Professor Cheng's filming was nearing its end.

Editor-in-Chief Xia was worried that he wouldn't know how to use a camera, so he sent a photographer over to take pictures.

The lighting distances have all been standardized.

This was done with a very professional attitude, just like when Meng Jimin filmed Chinese medicine.

After the photoshoot, I immediately went to develop the photos and then compiled them into an album.

Of course, Mr. Cheng wouldn't need to get involved in something like having a publishing house.

Just wait to receive the goods.

They waited there for the others to finish their work. Fang Yan had completed his task, took his original copy, and then prepared to leave.

"By the way, you said they also gave you some books, what were they?" Old Cheng then remembered what Fang Yan had mentioned before, he had said seven books.

Fang Yan then realized he hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't hide anything and said to Old Cheng:
"Besides this book, there are also the three volumes of 'Supplement to Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases', and the two volumes of 'Shennong's Prescriptions' and 'Tai Su's Pulse Formulas'."

"Among them, there is a lost set of acupuncture techniques called the Five Elements and Six Qi in the Supplement to the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. I haven't studied that yet. After I finish reading this book, I will bring it over and let you see it."

"The Five Elements and Six Qi Acupuncture Method?" Old Master Cheng was taken aback.

Even He Puren perked up his ears.

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Well, I've taken a quick look. It uses the Heavenly Stems to determine the five phases: Jia-Ji (Earth), Yi-Geng (Metal), Bing-Xin (Water), Ding-Ren (Wood), and Wu-Gui (Fire). Then it uses the Earthly Branches to determine the six Qi, such as Zi-Wu (Lesser Yin Fire) and Chou-Wei (Greater Yin Earth). It combines the Qi of the year of the patient's birth with the Qi of the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch to calculate the patient's constitution."

"Specifically, it should be similar to the Twelve Heavenly Star Needles of Taoist medicine. The Twelve Heavenly Star Needles need to be combined with the Tiangang True Formula passed down from master to disciple and the Taoist 'Beidou Scripture' to achieve the greatest effect. The Five Elements and Six Qi Needling Method is probably not much different from this. However, it is not as practical as the Thirteen Ghost Needles, so I will put it aside for now."

Upon hearing this, Old Cheng interrupted:

"Wait...you also know the Twelve Heavenly Star Needles?"

Fang Yan nodded:
"Understood."

Mr. Cheng was taken aback:
"Who taught you this?"

He said in dialect:

"You've met Fan Changting, the one from our family, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Jiangyou, Mianyang. He even toasted you at the dinner table, the one with the big forehead and receding hairline..."

Fang Yan gestured at Old Cheng for a while.

Old Cheng suddenly realized:
"Oh, I remember now..."

Then asked:

"He even taught you this?"

He said in dialect:

"I already said, I only have a slight understanding, I know half of it, I don't have the Heavenly Gang True Technique."

Old Master Cheng suddenly realized that this time he didn't let Fang Yan bring out the Twelve Heavenly Star Needles.

The main reason was that he knew they were communicating privately, not in their own dialect.

Fang Yan had seen enough, so he said goodbye to the two of them.

He left the research institute with his belongings.

I've already missed two classes today. The problem is that I asked for leave for one class but not for the second. Fortunately, it wasn't a political education class, so I won't lose points.

Go back for one more class and then school will be over.

I had a very fruitful afternoon. I originally just planned to come and share some information, but I ended up filling the trunk with He Puren's medical cases and insights.

On the other side, after Fang Yan left, Professor He Puren said to Professor Cheng:
"I think this young doctor, Fang, is probably the best acupuncturist among the younger generation, right?"

“No, that’s not it.” Old Cheng shook his head.

Just as He Puren was surprised that there were still experts, Master Cheng added:

"He is leading in all aspects, not just acupuncture."

"..." He Puren opened his mouth, not expecting this answer.

P.S.: I still owe you 51000 words after finishing this chapter.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow.

Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's code.
