SU, Rankan.. DO JIN YOGISHO: ESSENTIALS OF HOW TO DO ACUPUNCTURE & USE A 'DO JIN' OR A COPPER.
A very early manuscript, carefully written with clear, well organized text. This work covers the theory, relationship to the pulse, stomach, and other internal organs, treatment, philosophy of acupuncture, cautions in the use of needles, how to remove, twist, insert. The names of the "points" or "channels" points to be avoided or those of extreme caution. "Secret" spots, not to be used by beginners, how to measure for location of sites to apply treatment, on names & lengths of bones, interrelations among nerves. How to diagnose sick- ness, such as apoplexy, typhoid fever, pain in the pelvic region, asthma, coughing, laryngitis, lumbago, gonorrhea, epilepsy, hemorrhoids, prolapsus ani, insanity, headache, ear pain,toothache, dog bites, furuncle, carbuncle, gangrene and tuberculosis, paronychia, leukorrhea &c. Moxibustion or caurtery using artemisia vulgaris latifolia was also a tre- atment that followed the same "points or channels" as acupu- ncture. The use of either copper or wooden models to locate the proper points on the human body was a common method used by students of acupuncture. The model was hollow & then fil- led with hot wax, and then emptied, thus leaving a thin film of wax attached to the inside of the model. Then the model was filled with water. On the outside were as many as 354 "right" spots drilled into the model. The student was blind- folded, he or she then attempted to insert a needle in the the proper "spot," if any water leaked out, this was consid- ered an error. Thus this treatise includes methods of using the "Do Jin" [or copper human model], for use with needles or moxa. See Mestler plate 1,d, opposite p.474 for examples. Many of these monographs refer back to the first and most important Chinese work, unnamed, but probably meaning the REI-SU [Ling-shu], traditionally ascribed to the famous Chi- nese physician-Emperor Ko-tei [Hwang Ti] 2698-2598 B.C.Again Mestler also cites this. See G. Mestler: A GALAXY OF OLD JAPANESE MEDICAL BOOKS...p.468-480 et al, for good backgrou- nd on acupuncture, moxibustion & copper acupuncture models.. S. Kure: REPORT OF THE MEDICAL EXHIBITION...1925 also cites several items on Do Jin and acupuncture, p.32-33, with illu- strations on plates 159, 160 & 165. Books on the subject of using the Do Jin are quite scarce, the techniques were quite guarded and strictly handed down from teacher to disciple by practical learning. Color scans can be sent by email.
