Chapter 80: Meridians are real, so is Qi real? Why does Ye Zhen know these things so well? Because Ye Zhen had been involved in it in his previous life!
"This uses fluorescent labeling, specifically injecting fluorescent reagents into the hands of the experimental subjects."
"Then a mercury lamp is used to illuminate the fluorescence pattern on the subject's arm."
"In the end, it was discovered that a vein appeared on the subject's hand that was exactly the same as the pericardial meridian."
"And we found that some experimental subjects did not display fluorescence, and there were also subjects that walked very slowly."
"Their bodies have some unhealthy symptoms."
"Lingshu Meridians": "The heart governs the pericardial meridian of Hand Jueyin. It originates from the chest, goes out from the pericardium, lower diaphragm, and passes through the three burners; its branches go along the chest and out of the hypochondriac, three inches below the armpit. , go up to the armpit, go along the nape, between Taiyin and Shaoyin, go into the elbow, go down along the arm, go between the two tendons, enter the palm, go along the middle finger, come out from its end; its branch is in the other palm, go through The little finger pointed out the end. "
Ye Zhen slowly told the basis for this.
So why do you want to practice cultivation? You must first maintain your health and achieve physical and mental health.
Otherwise, if your meridians are blocked, how can you move your Qi?
How to extract the oxygen 18 you breathe?How to become your Qi?
This is the first time that scientific methods have been used to allow ordinary people to see the locations of meridians.
Otherwise, it will be like the legend after cultivating to a certain state.
Only by gaining the ability of inner vision can we see the existence of meridians.
Some of the novels we read now say that we can see the flow of meridians.
I saw something like spiritual energy flowing inside.
The source is here.
"That's it for now, the exploration of meridians."
"But even so, it's only part of it."
"It just allows us to see the meridians under certain circumstances."
"Whether it is acoustic detection or fluorescent labeling, we all want to see where the meridians are."
"Because the acupuncture points and meridians have not been found in modern traditional anatomy."
"Here I have to mention Dr. Wang, a surgeon."
"Dr. Wang is a world-renowned hand and foot surgeon."
"He is a world leader in finger reconstruction and replantation of severed fingers."
"A top-notch surgeon."
What specifically did you do?The broken fingers were completely reattached and restored.
If the finger is broken, there is no broken bone or flesh to be found.
Dr. Wang can find other bones and flesh from your body to make new fingers, and then put them back for you!
According to the current traditional view, Dr. Wang is a surgeon trained by the modern medical system.
Originally it had nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine or anything like that.
But by chance.
When Dr. Wang was dissecting a human hand, he accidentally discovered the same biological structure as the acupuncture points in the meridians.
"But according to Dr. Wang himself, he is just a surgeon."
"He is not sure whether the physiological structure he discovered is the legendary meridian."
"Because his research direction is hands and feet."
"So during the dissection, he found that there are two traditional acupuncture points that can be found in corresponding positions in the anatomy."
"And these two places are the muscle gate and the bone gate."
What are the muscular gate and the osseous gate?
The so-called muscle gate refers to the channel through which vascular nerves enter the muscles. They enter the muscles together with the nerves that control the muscles and the blood vessels that supply the muscles.
The bone portal is the place where blood vessels and nerves enter the bone. It is the channel for blood vessels and nerves to enter the bone.
"Use B-ultrasound to observe the location and structure of the needle tip at the muscle gate and bone gate."
"In addition, first use B-ultrasound to find the bone gate or muscle gate on the volunteers."
"Then the needle is inserted into the bone gate or muscle gate under the guidance of B-ultrasound. When the needle tip reaches the bone gate or muscle gate, the volunteer will immediately feel the needle feeling of "deqi", but there will be no such feeling when the surrounding tissue is punctured."
"The most amazing thing is the two acupuncture points on the hands."
"Zhigou point, Huizong point."
"These two acupuncture points are very close. At first, it was hard for Dr. Wang to imagine that there were two anatomical deconstructions in such a small place."
"Because the two are too close."
A model of human acupuncture points appeared next to Ye Zhen.
That is, when we often go to traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, we can see plastic models of the human body placed on the tables of some old traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
There are black dots on it and some lines connecting them together.
"Then the anatomy revealed that the Zhigou point is the muscle gate of the extensor pollicis longus, and Huizong is the muscle gate of the proper extensor muscle of the index finger."
"The two acupuncture points are extremely close!"
"If it weren't for dissection, these two places would not be visible at all."
"Even Dr. Wang himself, as a surgeon, felt emotional."
"Sometimes I wonder how the ancients knew these two places, and whether they were the product of a previous civilization."
When Dr. Wang was doing this.
But put the fresh corpse on the dissecting table at nearly 20 degrees below zero.
Use a 30x magnifying glass to conduct microdissection layer by layer at the acupuncture points. It takes more than 20 hours to dissect one acupoint.
Only in the end did some results come out.
Some places with acupuncture points are anatomically found to be neither muscle gates nor bone gates.
However, after careful dissection, it was discovered that there were also muscle gates and bone gates here.
It's just that it's too unpopular, so there are very few records and documents.
Until now, we humans do not have a complete understanding of our own are many operations in the human body that we only have a partial understanding of.
"Dr. Wang himself has not concluded that the muscle gate and bone gate are the real acupoints."
"Because Dr. Wang himself is not a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and he doesn't know much about meridians."
"In addition, Dr. Wang himself is only a hand and foot surgeon, and he only dissected some positions on the hands."
"However, Dr. Wang's opinion is that the locations of these muscle gates and bone gates do overlap with traditional acupuncture points."
"And when pricking with acupuncture, the experimenters did have various reactions."
"This is evidence of the existence of acupuncture points in human anatomy under modern medicine, using microsurgery and microscopes."
However, in the qigong era of the last century, similar research had already been conducted.
At that time, acupuncture points were known as neurovascular gathering places.
Why didn't we continue the research?
Because there are many people who don’t understand and pretend to understand, especially some so-called people who want to rely on traditional Chinese medicine to cheat money.
They want Chinese medicine practitioners to rely on the garb of metaphysics to make money.
If Chinese medicine is really thoroughly studied, it can be stated openly.
How else to deal with their mysterious stuff? Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, smelling, asking, and understanding, and prescribing the right medicine.
Even different people with the same symptoms may receive completely different medications.
"Does everyone now believe that acupuncture points and meridians exist?"
"It's in our bodies, it's on us, it's not something mysterious." Ye Zhen opened his hands to show his body.
"Okay, since the meridians are real."
"So what does it mean that the concept of Qi in Chinese medicine is also real?"
Ye Zhen asked a key question.
yes!If meridians and acupuncture points are real.
So does the Qi that was born based on this meridian theory also really exist?
The audience was horrified.
"So acupuncture points and meridians are real?"
"Of course, otherwise why do you think Chinese medicine still exists today!"
"I went to Western medicine for a long time, but nothing improved. Then my grandma introduced an old Chinese medicine doctor from my hometown, and my disease was cured with just a few injections!"
Many people have had similar experiences.
It is a situation where modern medicine has no solution and cannot cure it no matter how hard it is treated.
I met an old Chinese medicine doctor who cured your disease by simply prescribing a few medicines.
"Does that mean Qi is real and we can all practice it?"
"Wow! The ancients actually knew the existence of meridians a long time ago. It takes us so long to discover them in modern times."
"Is it possible that we are not the first generation of civilization, and that these meridians and other things are from the previous era?"
"Do you think you are reading a novel? This is serious popular science!"
But the proof of the existence of meridians is just the beginning.
More funding and modern tools are needed to prove its existence.
Otherwise, it will be like black box technology, knowing what is happening but not knowing why.
Just like what is recorded in medical books, a certain acupuncture point is located a few inches away from the hand.
But everyone's individuality is different, some are long and some are short.
Therefore, acupuncture points must be a confirmed place, which is the muscle gate and bone gate on everyone's body.
Yan Xin looked at what Ye Zhen had revealed.
The reason why Qigong was disliked by people before was because the meridians that move Qi were not recognized at all.
It is even considered as non-existent by the world.
There is no way to prove it even if you want to.
Yan Xin himself practiced Qigong back then, and he even now works at the Institute of Life Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
A large part of the reason is related to Qigong.
Yan Xin suppressed his excitement, showed a firm gaze, and said Ye Zhen's name in his mouth full of wine, "Ye Zhen."
"I will definitely come to you."
Yan Xin recalled the last century, which was the time of millennium communication.
It is precisely because of what happened in 99 that things like qigong, human body science, and supernormal abilities declined.
Now it has fallen into the category of feudal superstition and pseudoscience in everyone's mouth.
This is the so-called Dharma-ending era! Ye Zhen opened his hands, showing a big character gesture, and then Ye Zhen took a deep breath.
This breath was long and long, making people feel that Ye Zhen was holding it back in one breath.
Ye Zhen breathed in for 30 seconds!Then he took a breath.
Some people began to want to imitate Ye Zhen.
But it's impossible to do it as long as Ye Zhen's inhalation!
It’s good to be able to sustain a breath for more than five seconds.
After a little longer, I feel like I'm a little bit hypoxic.
"Now let me teach you how to breathe." Ye Zhen said with a faint smile.
No.
Do I also need you to teach me how to breathe?Who can't breathe?
Could it be that this is not a simple breathing method?
