How to find acupoints

First of all, we should understand two methods of finding points in traditional Chinese medicine: one is the same body inch method; One is bone measurement. Although this noun is quite difficult to understand, its meaning is actually very simple. That is, four fingers except the thumb are put together, and the straight line length from the middle joint of the index finger to the middle joint of the little finger is three inches. Of course, everyone has 3 inches, and then, when measuring the size of acupoints, it depends on using this three inches as a standard. Of course, as you can imagine, this measurement method is very rough and not so accurate. The method of bone measurement is accurate. Bone measurement, known as "bone measurement" in ancient times, is a method of measuring the size and length of all parts of the body with joints as the main symbol, and calculating the size according to its scale as the standard of acupoint selection. This method was first published in the article "Measuring Bone with Spiritual Pivot". The measured height of human body is seven feet and five inches, and its transverse degree (with hands abduction at shoulder height and middle finger as the standard) is also seven feet and five inches. Generally speaking, on the head and face, the hairline from the front to the back is 12 inch, between the two mastoid processes behind the ear is 9 inches, around the head is 26 inches, and the forehead to the neck root is 10 inch. The teacher said that it was all in acupuncture books, and it was calculated in proportion with a common cloth soft ruler. It is suggested that you usually use bone measurement to determine the size. For example, I'm looking for Baihui point, and I found it in the book: the center of the head is 5 inches straight on the front hairline. The center of the front hairline is the center of the front hairline edge. This position is easy to find. You can find it by looking at the picture. The front hairline is straight, and this position is easy to find, which is the position of the line in the middle of the head. Take a soft ruler first-the kind of soft ruler used by ordinary tailors sold in grocery stores. One yuan cheaper, two yuan more expensive, and one at home. Then, from the center of the front hairline to the center of the back hairline, look at the human skeleton measurement table. We can know that this size is 12 inch-nominally 12 inch, but actually it is definitely not 12 inch measured with a soft ruler. Let's assume that it is one centimeter, and then convert it into 12 inch. Then, from the center of hairline, measure the B cm online along the head centerline, so that the point corresponding to the B cm is the location of Baihui point. Some people may question that this method is not accurate, so how can it be used all the time? -It is being used, but it is not suitable for beginners, and it is suitable for people who are very skilled in acupoints. -If you get familiar with acupoints, you will find that acupoints generally have obvious characteristics. For example, you can feel different from the surroundings by pressing with your fingers. People who are skilled in finding acupoints will generally look at other people's fingers and estimate the approximate length. Then, based on this length, he can quickly estimate the approximate position of one of his acupoints-once he has the approximate position, he can look for acupoints around this approximate position. At first, everyone is not skilled, so it is suggested to take a soft ruler to measure it, so that we can find the acupoints more accurately. -In addition, the acupoints themselves have a range. Many acupoints are the size of a dollar coin. Although it is not accurate, it is often useful to touch the edges of acupoints so that everyone can use the same size at ordinary times. -just, in terms of accuracy, it is not as good as the degree of bone.
