Chapter 0365: The Past

However, such as Mr. Zeng Lingqi's family traditional Chinese medicine, is just rare and extremely rare. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info rest of the Chinese medicine practitioners who are active on the stage of history, most of them are declining literati who have been brainwashed by the servile thoughts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, they can't produce any great talents, plus Ji Xiaolan later compiled the "Four Library Quanshu", changed the ancient books into a mess, and left some of the Yin and Yang Five Elements Doctrine incomplete, so everyone is confused, so the Chinese medicine based on this is naturally even worse.

Therefore, among the revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty, there were many people who used traditional Chinese medicine to operate, such as Sun Wen and Lu Xun, etc., who went abroad to learn Western medicine.

In their view, traditional Chinese medicine, which is based on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, has no scientific basis at all, and should be in the same business as the charlatans who tell fortunes on the streets.

At that time, everyone in the ideological circles, such as Liang Qichao and Hu Shi, also strongly depreciated Chinese medicine and advocated Western medicine. Especially after the establishment of the Republic of China, traditional Chinese medicine once fell into a crisis of being banned.

"Speaking of this matter, there was still an interesting incident back then, that is, about Liang Rengong." Zeng Lingqi talked about old things, and couldn't help but think of an incident that made a lot of noise back then.

When it comes to Liang Rengong, there are probably not many young people who know him, but I only remember that there is "Wuxu Change" in history textbooks, and "Juvenile China Says" in Chinese textbooks, these two are directly related to Liang Qichao and Liang Rengong. If you look at it more closely, you can learn that later Liang Rengong had a little to do with President Yuan Shikai, and later, it seems that he also had some inexplicable dealings with Emperor Puyi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But all in all, Liang Rengong once represented the progressive forces of society and was also a figure worthy of the title of master. As for the subsequent events, we still have to analyze them from the perspective of historical materialism and dialectic, and we cannot erase his original exploits because of a slight flaw.

Oh, that's a bit of a stretch.

Liang Rengong was a prominent figure in modern Chinese history, and his political or academic works became popular as soon as they were published. He has a pen with emotion, and the articles he writes are clear and reasonable, and the so-called blend of reason and reason is as praised by the people of the time, thrilling, and a thousand words.

At that time, Mr. Liang raised his arms and shouted, and there were many responders, which can be said to be countless fans.

He gave a lecture at the university, with a blue robe and a green coat, a burly figure, and a little bald, but his face was full of red light, his eyes were bright, and he gave a speech with many gestures to help his expression. When quoting a book, he does not read the original work, but recites it in paragraphs, and when he can't memorize it, he points to his forehead, and when it sounds, he suddenly continues to speak.

At that time, the Chinese people, from the president to the common people, felt that if they did not listen to Mr. Liang, they would definitely make a mistake.

In 1921, an Austrian violin master came to Beijing to perform, and Liang Qichao wrote an article recommending it in the "Morning Post". He pointed out that if you don't go to the Dongcheng True Light Cinema to listen to this musician play Western famous songs, you are a barbarian with no cultural level!

So the college and middle school students in the capital pawned their clothes and went to buy expensive admission tickets. President Li Yuanhong also thought that he was by no means a barbarian, so he actually chartered a car in the theater and brought his wife and concubines to the party. He also presented a large basket of flowers to Western musicians.

It can be seen how great the charm of Liang Rengong is.

However, it is this Liang Rengong who has always been unable to get along with traditional Chinese medicine, but he highly respects Western medicine. In modern Chinese history, Liang Qichao can be called the first person to promote Western medicine. He has long written an article comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and Western medicine, saying that Western medicine "emphasizes the way of life and the method of curing diseases, and stresses the whole, and stresses chemistry, and botany, and talks about the road, and talks about the house, and talks about the amount of food, and the accuracy of clothing...... The school is full of classes, and all of them are hygienic". Based on this philosophy, when he was sick, he refused to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and tried his best to accept and become a new Western doctor.

In that year, Liang Qichao and Liang Rengong were admitted to Union Hospital due to uremia. He has been ill for many years, and his family has repeatedly advised him to seek medical treatment, but Liang Rengong is always troublesome and has not gotten going.

But the day before I was admitted to the hospital, I suddenly suspected that I had cancer, and finally agreed to have it checked. After X-ray fluoroscopy, the doctor saw a black spot in the right kidney and diagnosed it as a tumor.

Liang Qichao's brother Liang Zhongce asked the attending doctor, "It doesn't have to be cancer, right?" ”

The doctor replied, "It doesn't have to be cancer." ”

How to treat it again? The doctor said it was going to be cut off. After surgery, the kidney was dissected, and it was found that there was a large black spot like a cherry, but it was not cancer.

Sadly, the patient still had blood in his urine, and the source of the disease could not be detected, so he was re-diagnosed with unexplained hemorrhage.

The newspapers at the time hyped this up, saying that after Liang Qichao was admitted to the hospital for examination, the doctor could not say the pathogen. After several doctors' examination and inference, it was determined that the disease was in the right kidney, saying that there was a lump on it, and if the right kidney was not removed, the lump would inevitably swell day by day, and there would always be a day when it would be cut and cured. Therefore, it is inevitable that the cutting will happen sooner or later, although it does not matter in four or five years, but late treatment is not as good as early treatment, at least early treatment can avoid the danger of becoming another disease.

So, after the abdomen was dissected, the doctors did not find a mass or any problem on the right kidney, but they still cut off the right kidney. However, Mr. Leung's uremia did not improve.

Suddenly, they found something wrong in their teeth, and they pulled out seven teeth in succession. However, the uremia is still not improving.

Again, they say that the problem is in the diet. The patient starved for several days. But his urinary blood was still not better.

The doctors then said, but they couldn't find a reason. And they said, "There is nothing to be done with this sickness."

What is it about cutting off a kidney, pulling out seven teeth, and being exhausted from hunger and thinning for this insignificant disease? And it will cost hundreds of oceans.

Liang Rengong's younger brother, as well as celebrities in the cultural circles at the time, such as Chen Xiying and Xu Zhimo, wrote articles ridiculing Western medicine, and Lu Xun also stood up for tit-for-tat, strongly supported Western medicine, and directly denounced the absurdity of Chinese medicine, and quarreled with each other. Zeng Lingqi said to Zeng Cheng, "In private, Mr. Liang Qichao told his family that this operation was indeed unnecessary, and he also said that the operation was the mistake of Meng Lang of Xiehe, but in the face of public opinion, he still published an article defending Xiehe, Western medicine, and science, because he was afraid that the society would have a bad reactionary concept of medicine or other science students because of this incident." ”

"Isn't that self-deception?" Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart that this master is very capable of sacrificing his body, and for a little obsession, he even put his waist in. This is not the most serious, and in the end, even his own life was put into it.

"From this incident, you can see how weak the status of traditional Chinese medicine was at that time, in fact, for a long time, the national government considered banning traditional Chinese medicine." Mr. Zeng Lingqi said, "At that time, my father happened to take over the mantle of inheritance from my grandfather and opened a medical clinic in the county. The old man originally thought that the country was democratic and could show his skills, but he didn't expect to encounter the situation of Western medicine flourishing, Chinese medicine being spurned by people, and distrust, so the medical center was closed directly. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of previous generations, the family had some savings, and when they returned to their hometown in the countryside, they finally survived that war-torn era. ”

Zeng Lingqi was still quite emotional when he talked about the difficult years at that time, so he talked a lot.

The two of them talked about old things for a while, and when it was time to go to work, the two walked to Xing Xiangnan's ward.

"Do you want acupuncture today?" Xing Xiuyan's heart is more anxious, after all, after some massage yesterday, Xing Xiangnan's toes can already move, this is a huge progress, if you do acupuncture today, or the whole leg can move, right?

Of course, Xing Xiuyan also knew that her idea might be a little unrealistic, her legs, which had been paralyzed for more than ten years, could not be cured so easily, even if she met a miracle doctor, her father would have to have a gradual recovery process!

"Today's day is not suitable for acupuncture, but you can use moxibustion first." Zeng Lingqi said with a smile.

The old gentleman had already prepared a lot of moxa wool moxa rolls and other things, as well as ginger slices and other things, took them out at this time, and said to Zeng Cheng and others: "Acupuncture and acupuncture, acupuncture and moxibustion are not good, but the moxibustion method is much simpler, and it is basically an auxiliary therapy." Wormwood is a good thing to pick during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the longer the year, the better the effect. Artemisia leaves enter the meridians, regulate qi and blood, chase dampness and cold, warm menstruation, stop bleeding, and can also stabilize the fetus. However, there is also one thing to pay attention to, those with yin deficiency and blood fever should use it with caution. ”

The old gentleman exposed Xing Xiangnan's legs, and then pasted the ginger slices on Zusanli, ignited the moxa wool, put it on moxibustion, and said to everyone: "Zusanli is a health care acupoint, that is, ordinary people, you can often moxibustion if you have nothing to do, health and intelligence, and it is beneficial." After learning Chinese acupuncture, the Japanese regard it as a treasure, and have a lot of experience in moxibustion for three miles. ”

"What does it mean that Sanli often doesn't do it?" Zeng Cheng felt a little strange, so he asked.

"Hehe, you'll find out later." The old gentleman said with a smile.

This is mainly because Zeng Cheng knew too little about medicine before, otherwise he would not have asked such a simple question.

In fact, this sentence comes from the famous "medicine king" Sun Simiao in history. It is also a sentence that all those who study acupuncture must remember.

What diseases can moxibustion Zusanli treat? What is the function of moxibustion?

Qiong Yao Zhenren, a famous Chinese medicine master who lived in the late Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in the "Book of Acupuncture and Moxibustion": "Treat stomach cold, heart and abdomen fullness, lack of stomach qi, smell of food and smell of intestines, abdominal pain and inability to eat, this acupoint can cure all diseases, and treat food qi and water qi, Gu poison and scab, swollen limbs, sore knees, unclear vision, five labors and seven injuries, blood stasis in the chest, and cradle carbuncle."
