Chapter 9 The Green Capsule Sutra and the Yellow Emperor's Outer Meridian
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records that after Hua Tuo was given death by Cao Cao, he did not care about his life and death, but was worried about the loss of his medical skills, and entrusted the "Green Capsule Sutra" to a jailer who guarded him, hoping that he could pass it on to future generations and benefit the world.

Who knew that the jailer's wife was afraid of getting into trouble, so she took advantage of the jailer's inattention to throw the manuscript of the "Green Capsule Sutra" into the fire and burn it, and when the jailer found out, he put out the fire and saved the book, but most of the book had been burned.
The "Green Capsule Sutra" has been handed down to future generations, and there is only one technique left to castrate the rooster, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.
Hua Tuo is a well-deserved medical genius.
A genius can always transcend an era by decades, or even centuries.
If the "Green Capsule Sutra" is fortunate to be passed on to future generations, it is estimated that the four major classics of Chinese medicine will be renamed again!
He is the master of traditional Chinese medicine and surgery, and Chinese medicine and surgery have been in decline for thousands of years since him, and in modern times, they have been reduced to an ornament under the impact of vigorous development and systematic Western medicine and surgery.
Almost every student who has studied "Surgery of Traditional Chinese Medicine" can pat his chest and tell you responsibly: these ghost things will only appear in the test paper, and have no clinical practical value.
Like the first generation of computers, they are cultural relics in museums for people to admire, and this is long overdue for abolition.
Studying TCM surgery is a waste of time and a form of chronic suicide.
Even TCM doctors despise TCM surgery, which shows the extent to which TCM surgery has declined.
This is the sadness in the process of inheriting Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine, and the development of Western medicine is only a few hundred years in modern history.
And traditional Chinese medicine began to rise in the barbaric period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
How many wars has China experienced over the millennia? How much tribulation?
The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine will always be irreparably faulty due to the change of dynasties and the ravages of war.
In the past 5,000 years, China has seen many emperors, including those who are wise, those who are tyrannical, and those who are mediocre.
Although these emperors had different personalities, their preferences were almost the same.
In a word, it is nothing more than circling around the country and beauties.
Occasionally, there will be a few outliers, such as the professional lyricist and amateur emperor Li Houzhu who loves to write words.
For example, Song Huizong, who is obsessed with calligraphy and stands alone in the world with a thin gold body.
Another example is the carpenter emperor Ming Xizong, who dealt with sons, saws, and planers all day long.
But I have never heard of a person in power who has a strong interest in medicine.
They are more interested in killing than saving.
Therefore, in troubled times, there will always be a part of Chinese civilization that disappears forever due to the baptism of war, and the fault line of medical inheritance is inevitable.
In this way, "The Green Capsule Sutra" became a victim under the crushing of the wheel of history, and it has been lost ever since!
There is no doubt about the historical status of the "Green Capsule Sutra" in the surgical science of traditional Chinese medicine, but Zheng Yichen still has a little doubt about the completion of the "Green Capsule Sutra".
He believes that the development of a doctrine has a gradual process of change, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve it overnight.
The person who creates a perfect doctrine from the beginning is not called a genius, but a god, a demon, not a man.
Just like Newton's three laws of mechanics, Newton himself admitted that he stood on the shoulders of giants to achieve such results.
Talented as the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, it was also on the basis of the Five Elements Doctrine and the Tibetan Physiognomy Theory of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that he wrote the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".
Hua Tuo's surgical skills have transcended the entire era, and they are still talked about, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on himself to have such achievements.
On the shoulders of which "giant" is he standing? What document did he use as the basis to write the "Green Capsule Sutra"?
Zheng Yichen thought about it, the only book that was written was earlier than the "Green Capsule Sutra", and it was also more mysterious and bumpy, and there was only one surgical book that did not even leave a word!
That is the legendary "Yellow Emperor Outer Classic" that was written at the same time as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon"!
The cup of "Green Capsule Sutra" has not been handed down to later generations and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" to carry out the Yuliang dispute, but it has also left a large number of legends to highlight its magic.
However, the thirty-seven volumes of "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", which were written at the same time as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", did not even leave a single word, and even those legends were all chiseled and attached by later generations.
Zheng Yichen once made a bold speculation: "If the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics" had not been lost in the Han Dynasty and fell into the hands of Hua Tuo, with this book as the cornerstone, Hua Tuo combined his own medical skills to create the "Green Capsule Sutra", then this sense of disobedience would have disappeared." ā
He had always been convinced of his reasoning, and had told people that he had received a ridicule that his imagination was too rich and unfounded.
Zheng Yichen knew that all logical reasoning was based on a rich imagination at the beginning.
When all hypotheses have been ruled out, the only hypothesis left is the correct answer, no matter how bizarre it may be.
To paraphrase Detective Conan's famous words, this is called "There is only one truth." ā
The "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics" written by the divine doctor Hua Tuolai as the cornerstone of the world's medical book "The Green Capsule Sutra", and the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics" that countless doctors dreamed of, was actually alive in front of him!
Zheng Yichen tried to adjust his emotions, but tears still couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
As long as you are a Chinese medicine practitioner, you will definitely not be able to stay calm at this time!
It took him more than ten minutes to calm down, pick up the pen and magnifying glass again, and continue to write the words that have been lost in the long river of time.
The book is mainly divided into two parts: theory and operation.
The theoretical part is based on the yin, yang, qi and blood of traditional Chinese medicine, and Zheng Yichen can quite see it.
When he saw the operation part, he was only dumbfounded.
Although Zheng Yichen is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he has studied with Li Sanguang, an authority in Western medicine and surgery, in the past few months, and he often has to go to the operating table to be an assistant to the surgeon, so he is very familiar with the surgical process of Western medicine.
It is precisely because of his proficiency in Western medicine and surgery that Zheng Yichen feels even more incredible about the various surgical methods recorded in the "Outer Classics", and his scalp is numb, which is completely beyond his scope of understanding.
"Are these surgical methods really feasible?" The more he read, the more frightened he became, if he didn't know that these were the true original texts of the "Outer Classics", he would only read them as horror novels.
"No matter, remember it first." Zheng Yichen frowned, and finally decided not to drill the horns anymore, questioned the operability of these surgical techniques, and copied them in his notebook word by word.
In this way, the speed of copying was much faster, and the room was silent, except for the rustle of the tip of the pen on the paper and the "sizzle" of Robin sticking out his pink tongue and licking the milk in the bowl.
After copying all the words of the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", there are still a few lines left at the end of the jade slip, to the effect that those who have the opportunity to get this jade slip should cherish this great opportunity, learn the medical skills recorded on the jade slip, hang the pot to help the world, and become the inheritor of the thousand-year-old medical Tao of traditional Chinese medicine, the defender, and the disseminator of the thousand-year-old medical path of traditional Chinese medicine.
When Zheng Yichen saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Uncle Qiang, you really gave me a hot potato, and you didn't give me a chance to resign." ā
An inheritor is a person who inherits the purest knowledge of Chinese medicine.
A defender is a person who defends the precarious path of Chinese medicine.
These two points are not difficult, but they are the last way to spread, which is the real test of a doctor.
The most important thing for a truly immortal doctor is not his superb medical skills, nor his medical ethics of treating the sick as his relatives.
It is the word selflessness, and only by selflessly making what they learn public, so that more doctors can benefit from it, and if their medical skills improve, they will be able to help more people.
Some doctors boast of their medical skills, saying that they have exclusive secret recipes for treating patients, and they are reluctant to share them with others.
In fact, it has made the frank doctor's feelings stained with copper stench, and he has made money, but he has lost people's hearts.
A doctor who writes books and educates people is a doctor who really has the heart of hanging a pot to help the world.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
This way of spreading Chinese medicine has a long way to go!
This may also be the reason why Uncle Qiang handed over the jade slip to him before he died, for a young man in his twenties, such a responsibility is too huge.
So much so that in the last conversation, he had to repeatedly confirm whether Zheng Yichen really wanted to be a good doctor.
Since Uncle Qiang handed over this piece of jade slip to him before he died, it means that he has absolute confidence in Zheng Yichen.
He believed that this young man, who had a good temper with him, could afford to take on the responsibility.
Zheng Yichen couldn't help but look out the window, there seemed to be an old man with a cigarette in his mouth laughing wildly at night, he suddenly felt full of strength in his chest, nodded firmly at the old man, and said without hesitation: "I will spread everything I have learned to every corner of the world, as long as there is sunshine, there will be people of traditional Chinese medicine!" I won't disappoint your expectations of me! ā
It's loud and deafening!
Saying this promise, Zheng Yichen knew that he would have to put in a lifetime of hard work to achieve such an achievement.
He is no longer an ordinary doctor just for food and clothing, and his road is destined to be bumpy and rugged.
Thousands of years of medical inheritance, on the shoulders of one person.
