Yes, as an amateur Chinese medicine lover, if you are interested in acupuncture, you can learn and have acupuncture skills, and you don't need to master pulse-cutting skills. As a treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture mainly regulates the physiological functions of qi and blood, yin and yang according to the distribution of human meridians and the stimulation of acupoints, and improves related symptoms.

Of course, acupuncture will also combine some diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, such as looking, listening and asking, but these methods are not necessary skills. If you study acupuncture, it is recommended to learn the basic theoretical knowledge of acupuncture, such as acupoint classification, acupoint selection principles, acupuncture methods, common acupuncture techniques and so on. Through systematic study and practice, gradually improve their own level, and gradually understand some diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of acupuncture.

For example, you can learn the acupuncture course "One Point One Lecture" of Master Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is a course dedicated to explaining acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine, aiming to help you better understand and master the knowledge of acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine and improve your health care skills and treatment ability.

It should be noted that acupuncture is a special medical technology, and its study and practice should follow the corresponding norms and standards, which requires continuous study and practice. If you want to learn acupuncture, you'd better choose a formal acupuncture training institution and make a study plan according to your personal interests and actual situation. In a word, learning acupuncture needs a solid basic theory, and at the same time, it needs to improve its skills through repeated practice.
