[description]
A native of Sanqu (now Qu County, Zhejiang). Born as a worldly doctor. My grandfather served in Taiyiyuan. Jizhou had a career in childhood, but due to the misfortune of Yousi, he switched from Confucianism to medicine. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), he was elected as a medical officer. In the third year of Longqing (1568), he entered Taiyiyuan Shengji Hall and served as a medical officer in three dynasties for 46 years until Wanli. His medical records have spread all over Fujian, Jiangsu, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places. On the basis of Hygienic acupuncture and moxibustion mysteries and secrets passed down from home, I compiled it into Zhenjiu Dacheng based on extensive reading from many books and reference to the verified ones.
Zhenjiu Dacheng, following
Neijing,
Jiayi Jing, and
Tongren, studied acupuncture and moxibustion theory and Clinical summary again.
Yang has rich clinical experience and unique academic opinions. He believes that acupuncture, moxibustion and medicine are indispensable for treating diseases. Yang attaches great importance to meridian and collateral theory and uses it to guide point selection based on syndrome differentiation/pattern identification. He proposes that "it is better to lose the acupoints than to lose the meridians." "Every acupuncture point is correct, and every disease can be cured." In terms of operation, it emphasizes that "the secret lies in the fingers", attaches great importance to reinforcing and purging techniques, and summarizes the 14 acupuncture techniques of the predecessors into 12-character techniques, namely "claw cutting, finger holding, oral warming, needle insertion, finger circulation, claw tapping, Aiming, finger rubbing, finger twisting, finger retention, needle shaking and finger pulling.” Later, it was simplified to 8 methods of lowering the needle: pushing, clawing, rubbing, springing, grid, touching, looping and twisting. Yang advocated acupuncture through acupoints and introduced techniques such as mountain-burning fire method, heaven-penetrating cooling method, Canglong tail wagging, Red wind shaking head, Dragon and tiger fighting, Dragon and tiger rising and falling, Mawu tonic and diarrhea, etc.
