Acupuncture is a very important factor in Chinese medicine, just like harmony and acoustics in music. An excellent doctor, a doctor with superb acupuncture skills, almost none of them are young. Because it is too difficult to study medicine, let alone acupuncture, even nurses who are not doctors need a lot of practice and practice to practice needle infusion well. Nurses in the infusion area of hospitals are often reprimanded by patients because of their unfamiliar skills. It naturally takes decades of efforts to practice acupuncture well and really save lives. But we also need to practice with living things. After all, if we just recite medical books, we can't really treat all kinds of patients.
China has had acupuncture atlas since ancient times. People who study acupuncture need to memorize this atlas and the prescriptions taught by the master before practicing. Naturally, this practice can't be practiced with living people from the beginning. The needle used in acupuncture is very long, and it is not impossible to stab people with a little carelessness. It is inhuman to do so, and it is very likely that people will die before they learn to save lives. Before the real rule of man, apprentices who began to learn art in ancient times generally used their own bodies to do experiments. Find acupoints to practice on yourself. So did the first person who invented acupuncture therapy.
Therefore, a good doctor is very rare and needs all kinds of difficulties in customer service to be qualified to save others. In the ancient myth of China civilization, there was a Shennong who invented medical skills. According to legend, Shennong took himself as an experiment and tasted all kinds of herbs before he summed up the method of treating diseases and saving lives.
