I think acupuncture is still very easy to learn. It depends on how much you want to learn. If you just want to master what kind of diseases simply, how to treat them? That's easy to learn. After all, what kind of disease pricks what kind of acupoints, sometimes it is fixed, and there is basically no change. Although the subject of acupuncture in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a five-year program, what they learn is more complicated and accurate. They learn fundamentally, from theory to practice, and then how to treat diseases. What they do is the most systematic and comprehensive education. In theory, diseases should be dialectical first, and figuring out what kind of meridian diseases is to choose which acupoints to tie according to the diseases.

If you just want to learn which diseases are tied to which acupoints, you can learn them in about a month, and you can learn many diseases. I once heard a lecture from an acupuncture teacher. He often goes to villages and towns to train doctors. Learning acupuncture is very simple. You don't need to learn the knowledge of acupuncture systematically and comprehensively, but you only need to master what kind of diseases and how to acupuncture points, which is very effective. In fact, for ordinary people, if they are not engaged in acupuncture, they don't need to study and understand this knowledge comprehensively and systematically. Even many Chinese medicine practitioners became monks halfway and didn't learn acupuncture for long, but they can cure diseases.

If you can find a great acupuncture teacher, you can study with him for six months to one year, and then you can start your career. It can treat some diseases independently and achieve good results. Now there are many institutions that teach acupuncture, and there are very good teachers in them. As long as they have psychology, they can learn well. After all, it is good to master more skills.
