Chapter Seventy-Eight: Besides, a Discussion of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Moreover, it is not the first time that she has encountered this kind of test, and it is the first time that Xiao Nier has encountered it.
That time, he agreed without hesitation, because he felt that it was incumbent on him and he couldn't refuse. But this time he really couldn't take it.
In addition, the family has ancestral family law, and the medical skills are passed on to the sons and daughters, not the daughters, otherwise there will be a catastrophe. Although the catastrophe is frightening, violating the ancestral family law is a great rebellion.
In everything, psychological barriers are the biggest obstacles!
Besides, when he said his hardships, Lu Langzhong didn't seem to hear it at all, he was determined to apprentice, if the other party didn't agree, it must be his own lack of sincerity. Then, the only way is to show your sincerity, keep kneeling, knock your head when you need to, and the blood will flow.
Forcing each other to die, for the immortal bodhisattva, there is no problem. It's a pity that he is neither an immortal nor a bodhisattva, so it will be difficult to kill him.
Xiao Wanli felt that it was not a matter to go on like this, and it was really possible to cause death, even if the government did not pursue it, and he couldn't get over it in his heart.
So he whispered to the situation: "There has to be a compromise in this matter, otherwise it will not end." ”
Besides, he had to take a step back and said: "Sir, limited to family rules, it is absolutely impossible to accept apprentices, it is okay to get along with friends, Mr. just wants to go to the next level in medical skills, let's learn from each other, and we can also get the same effect." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't have the title of master and apprentice, as long as you are willing to teach your disciple medical skills!" Lu Langzhong was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he would give in soon. According to his thoughts, he must toss most of his life, and the other party is willing to agree when he is dying.
"Then please get up. And he pulled him up, and treated him with the wound on his forehead, and smeared him with potion.
Lu Langzhong thanked him again and again, and then thanked the Xiao family father and son, along with the patients in the room.
"Can this be done? Don't break the house rules. Xiao Wanli was a little worried, and asked quietly when he went back to the house to get the potion.
"It's just about general medical skills, not about family medicine. Besides, he said.
"That's good, in fact, Lang Zhong is really indispensable in this town, otherwise whoever has a headache and brain fever will have to go to the county seat to seek medical treatment. Xiao Wanli sighed.
Next, he copied the method that his father trained himself as it was and used it to learn from Lu Langzhong. It is also the same to diagnose the pulse, and then write down the pulse case and prescription separately, and start to check the pulse case and prescription after the patient is gone.
Moreover, according to the analysis of the differences in the pulse case, explain where Lu Langzhong is wrong and where the shortcomings are. Explaining pharmacology through the prescription, which is clear and easy to understand, Lu Langzhong kept nodding when he heard it.
Although he is familiar with this set, it is completely different from teaching his father to the case. While he was talking, he needed more self-digestion, which was equivalent to strengthening the theory, deepening his understanding of the original pulse pharmacology, and understanding many problems that he had not thought of or ignored before.
Teaching is really a process of self-improvement.
Lu Langzhong had already thrown his arrogance to Java, at this time, although he was old, he was dressed in green clothes, and the apprentices of that era were like this.
I saw him standing respectfully beside him, listening with his ears pricked up, lest he miss a word, and from time to time he leaned over to write down the main points, and his respectful piety was really like facing a god and a bodhisattva.
Besides, he was repeatedly persuaded to get along as friends and on an equal footing, but he would never refuse. Besides, I had no choice but to go with him.
Moreover, when he saw a doctor, he stood next to him, facing his neighbors for decades, and he did not look embarrassed at all, but had a smug look.
As long as he can't hear it, Lu Langzhong seems to have been a teacher for decades.
The people of the town are simple, and no one really laughs at him, but envies him for seizing the opportunity with his tricks. Those who had been rejected from apprenticeship before also wanted to follow suit, and this time they didn't need Xiao Nier to take a broom to catch up, Lu Langzhong carried a broom, and blasted all these people out of the gate with great courage.
Lu Langzhong was originally a celebrity and ruthless person in the town, and ordinary people were really afraid of him, and besides, he would ask him for treatment after he came, and he would be polite to him.
The next day, Lu Langzhong brought seven hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver was a bet on losing to Besides, and five hundred taels of silver was considered a gift. Besides, where is he willing to accept it, before the words of resignation are finished, Lu Langzhong has tears in his eyes, and he knelt down again. Besides, I had to sigh and shake my head to accept it.
In the evening, he handed over two hundred taels of silver to Xiao Wanli as a backup fund for running the school. Then, he wrote a bunch of prescriptions and carefully explained them to Lu Langzhong, what kind of disease each medicine is aimed at, how to adjust the dosage, etc., Lu Langzhong wrote them all on paper.
Moreover, the plan was to use the remaining 500 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials according to the prescription and cure all kinds of medicines. These medicines can be stored and left for Lu Langzhong, who will slowly give them to patients who need medicine in the future.
Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, enough for two people to be busy for a while.
"The master's benevolence and kindness are even the tigers in the mountains can be influenced, these recipes are already great wealth, and the silver is from the disciples. Lu Langzhong said that he would not let anything go and pay this money.
"If you have this heart, sir, the days will be long in the future, and when you scatter wealth, this is my heart. Besides, he laughed.
Lu Langzhong is right, it's really hard to say how much a prescription is worth.
For example, Zhang Zhongjing's prescription for treating typhoid fever is not worth a thousand gold! Only the doctor who prescribes the prescription knows how to cure the rare typhoid medicine on the market.
Traditional Chinese medicine is all about eating with unique recipes. A Lang Zhong relies on a good recipe, and he is inexhaustible in his life. Generally, Langzhong is only good at treating one or one type of disease, relying on one or several prescriptions.
Is there such an all-round doctor? Yes, it only exists in legends.
Moreover, he took out dozens of prescriptions and gave them to Lu Langzhong at once, and without reservation, he taught the pulse pharmacology, this wealth can be said to be a priceless treasure.
Lu Langzhong was so happy that he almost flew up!
Later, he really became the premier miracle doctor in Fengyang Mansion, and future generations are also famous as miracle doctors, relying on the medical skills and these prescriptions that are taught.
An art is better than a family with ten thousand gold.
There are times when you can't get any money in your family, but as long as you have a good craft, you won't have trouble going anywhere.
Of course, he is an exception, he does not rely exclusively on medical skills, and with his calligraphy and painting skills, it is not a problem to eat with a mouth. However, everything depends on the right time, place and people, for example, when you fall into this town, the calligraphy and painting that Shilin values outside will stop, but the medical skills will shine.
In his spare time, Lu Langzhong began to inquire and ask for various medical knowledge.
Lu Langzhong was hungry and thirsty, eager to succeed.
Besides, all questions are answered, and they never tire of it.
Xiao Nier laughed at them that they were not masters and apprentices, they were better than masters and apprentices, they had seen such apprentices, but they had never seen such masters.
Moreover, when talking about the origin of doctors, he said that where there are human beings, there will be diseases, and the so-called "how can you eat grains without disaster", which is what it means.
As a result, treatment has become an indispensable basic need for people, just like food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
In ancient times, human beings did not have medicine, and only relied on witch doctors to replace the functions of doctors, witch doctors are also doctors, but they are used to heal diseases and injuries in the form of witchcraft.
Later, although medicine was born and the profession of doctor was born, witchcraft was still the main body. The diversion of witch doctors should be in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius once famously said: believe in witches but not doctors, and believe in doctors but not witches.
Obviously, in the Spring and Autumn Period, witchcraft and medicine had their own markets, and there was still a fight.
The unification of the Zhou Dynasty ended the orthodox status of witchcraft, and also ended the mythological era of China.
Needless to say, it was Confucianism that won out in the end, which continues to this day.
Lu Langzhong's eyes widened, looking at the situation. And as soon as he stopped, he continued to ask a lot of questions.
Is the Yellow Emperor's Neijing still credible? The Yellow Emperor's era was the most prosperous mythological era in China, and there was no medicine at all.
Is it credible for Fuxi to paint gossip and Shennong to taste herbs?
And then he went on to explain.
It makes sense for Fuxi to paint gossip, at that time it was the era of knotted rope in Chinese history, when writing had not yet been produced, and human beings had to tie knots on the rope to count, thus developing a unique semiotics.
This system of symbols has not been completely abandoned even after the philology has matured, and many doctors still use it persistently.
When I was a child, I learned from my father how to use a single rope to make various knots and form various patterns to express my opinions.
However, this system also has drawbacks, and only those who have studied it can understand it. In the eyes of those who don't understand, it is a book from heaven.
Fuxi painting gossip played a role in the dissemination, it fixed this set of knotted rope symbols to the picture, which gradually produced the oldest painting system in China, and then Cangjie character creation was gradually derived on the basis of painting.
Calligraphy and painting have the same origin, and the source is here.
Lu Langzhong's eyes almost flew out, besides, what is it if he is not a god, he even understands this!
Besides, I didn't care, so I went on.
Shennong's taste of herbs should have nothing to do with medicine, but the tribe has insufficient hunting, so he has to eat grass to survive.
Although there are many types of plants, there are not many that can be used as food, and most of them are poisonous.
As the leader of the tribe, Shennong is a great sacrificial wine for witchcraft, and it is naturally his duty to find edible plants for the tribe by testing poison.
Unconsciously, eating and eating, Chinese medicine was born!
Lu Langzhong swallowed and spat, and asked, "What are the hundred herbs?"
Besides, he said with a smile: "Baicao is just a general reference, but it refers to a wide variety, and it is estimated that the old man of Shennong has not remembered it." ”
And then the topic continues. The ancients generally counted in 10,000 as the highest unit, and after 10,000, it was expressed in tens of thousands, tens of thousands, etc. In the Shennong era, it was estimated that the highest counting unit was hundred. Considering knotting ropes, or carving imprints on mountain walls to count, it is not easy to reach hundreds.
Let's put it this way, a hundred herbs means that you have tasted all the herbs.
Although Shennong's taste of herbs may not be for traditional Chinese medicine, it has also truly opened the process of traditional Chinese medicine, and thus Shennong has become the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Master, your old man is really a god!!"
Lu Langzhong screamed, startling the situation.
