“徐疾”初探

The Shallow Discussion About "Slow-Quick Needling"

"徐疾"之义,应视其所修饰内容而定,为复式补泻手法。若指提插捻转手法,或开阖补泻,或言气至或脉象,即当作快慢、重轻、徐缓与紧疾解;若云留针时间则当解作久暂。且无论其所指为何,皆当贯穿于针刺前、针刺中及针刺后的整个针刺过程。而"徐""疾"作"快慢"解时当相对而言,并无定性的速度而言。当然,此论仅指针刺施术过程而言,临证时更应全面顾及理、法、方、穴、术这一全过程,选穴施术均应以准确辨证为前提,法随证立,方随法出,穴由方选,术依法施。

The meaning of ＂slow-quick needling＂ depends on the content it describes,and is a kind of complex reinforcing and reducing needling. If it refers to Iifting,inserting,rotating techniques,or opened-closed reinforcing and reducing needling,or qi arrival or pulse condition,it means slow-quick, mild-heavy, gentle-urgent. If it refers to time of retaining needles, it means long-short. And no matter what it means,it should go through the whole course of acupuncture,including before acupuncture,during acupuncture and after acupuncture. When it means slow-quick ,the speed is in contrast, and there is no qualitative speed. Of course, the theory here is only in terms of the operation process. In clinical practice, pathology, therapy, prescription, points and techniques should be fully considered. Everything should be based on syndrome differentiation：therapy should depend on syndrome, prescription should depend on therapy,choice of points should depend on prescription,and techniques should depend on therapy.
