"What is this? Is it really a bronze man of Shaolin Temple? Kong Si exclaimed, leaned over, and looked around for the spring mechanism, but it was still easy to sutra!

"Sister Fairy, oh, Uncle Fairy!" Wu Chen actually didn't know what Lu Dao was, but it shouldn't have anything to do with martial arts practitioners, no matter what, when he saw Li Lao's appearance, it shouldn't be ordinary.

Li Lao didn't answer, his mustache trembled with excitement, his hands were on the bronze man, and he caressed it for a while, that look, even between lovers who had been reunited for a long time, it was slightly inferior, Wu Chen and the others were cold for a while!

When the old man's mood calmed down a little, he asked Wu Chen to take his hand, reassembled the bronze figure again, and carried it to the upstairs hall, this time it was much more careful than just now.

Before the person arrived, Li Lao shouted at the top of his voice: "Local tyrant! Come out with my brother to see the national treasure! ”

"Something, yell!" Li Lao was anxious, heard the roar, stood up, pulled a loud voice and replied, and went out the door, only to see Li Lao walking in front with his head held high like a victorious general of the class, Wu Chen and Kong Si followed behind with the bronze man in tow, and Xu Shaodong and Bai He walked behind.

"Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man!" Li Lao didn't hide it this time, and announced an explosive news as soon as he entered the door!

"Although I haven't carefully identified it, I can be 99% sure that it is it!"

"What?!" At this time, even Liu Lao couldn't sit still and stood up. Watching Wu Chen and Kong Si put the bronze man back on the desk. Coppery and moist, it looks like a half-naked man lying down.

"You mean Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man!" Boss Li confirmed loudly, and seeing that Elder Li nodded, several old men walked over to surround the bronze man, excited.

"Isn't it just a bronze man? Even if it is made exquisitely, how can it be called a national treasure? Kong Si had never seen these old men excited like this, and he wanted to ask Wu Chen, but he felt that he would not know what to do, so he simply asked Xu Shaodong.

"I think I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it." Xu Shaodong didn't know much, he was busy for a while, and he was a little thirsty, so he picked up the teapot, and several people poured it violently, waiting for the old men to calm down.

No wonder these old people are excited! This is a lost national treasure, but I didn't expect it to reappear today!

Acupuncture has been an important part of the medicine of the Celestial Empire since ancient times, and has a history of thousands of years. The earliest record should be that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the prince of the Kingdom of Qiu suddenly suffered from "corpse syncope" and his life was in danger. The divine doctor Bian Que should enter the palace and use acupuncture and moxa to smoke the meridian acupoints of the prince's body for treatment, so that the prince came back from the dead, leaving a legendary story of acupuncture and moxibustion to cure diseases and save people.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, doctors mainly carried out acupuncture and moxibustion treatment according to the meridian points of the human body designated by the Emperor Mingtang Jing of the Tang Dynasty. However, the "Emperor Mingtang Sutra" was lost due to the war in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the later acupuncture and acupuncture points, which lost its standard.

In order to reformulate the national standards for acupuncture and moxibustion, in the fourth year of Song Tiansheng, Song Renzong ordered the Medical Institute to recompile the standards. The Medical Officer's Hospital handed over this task to the famous medical scientist Wang Weiyi, and after 3 years of hard work, he completed the "New Bronze Acupuncture and Acupuncture Diagram Sutra", and engraved it on 5 stone tablets.

Because Song Renzong believed that "the heart is not as good as the eye, and the words are not as good as the case", so he ordered again to cast the acupuncture and moxibustion bronze figure according to the "New Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Illustrated Sutra", which was still designed by Wang Weiyi, and the imperial court organized skilled craftsmen from all over the country to cast. After the end, two identical acupuncture bronze figures were finally cast, and later generations called "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Figures".

"Even if it's an important thing in the history of medicine, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Kong Si listened to it for a long time, this is at most a treasure in the industry, and then put it to this day, I am afraid that the commemorative significance is more than the practical significance.

That's not it! Li Lao was still excited, and taught Kong Si a lesson, this young man, I don't know the preciousness of the national treasure of the Dao!

The Tiansheng bronze figure was cast into two parts, the front and back, and the special plug was used to disassemble and assemble, which fully reflected the extremely high human aesthetics and casting technology at that time. It is marked with the names of 354 acupuncture points, all of which are chiseled through small holes, and there are wood carvings of internal organs and bones in the body cavity.

Therefore, it can be applied not only to acupuncture but also to anatomy. Western medicine, including many people who do not know the Tao in China, has always criticized Chinese medicine for not having anatomical theories, in fact, at least until the Song Tiansheng period when the bronze man was cast, the Chinese people have accurately mastered the internal structure of the human body, but they are more focused on meridians.

It has theoretically proved that the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, including meridian acupuncture and moxibustion, have a solid anatomical basis, and do not appear out of thin air as criticized by later generations. "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" is the earliest acupuncture bronze figure cast in the Celestial Dynasty and even the world, which created a precedent for using the bronze figure as a mannequin for acupuncture teaching in the world.

In addition to the theory, the bronze man also has a peculiar practicality. In the Song Dynasty, acupuncture and moxibustion medical examinations were held every year in the Medical Officials Hospital, during which mercury was injected into the bronze human body, and the body surface was coated with yellow wax to completely cover the meridian acupuncture points. Test takers can only be injected on the basis of experience. Once the acupuncture points are accurately pierced, mercury will flow out of the acupuncture points. In the history of medicine, this peculiar phenomenon is referred to as "needle in and mercury out".

After the bronze figure of acupuncture and moxibustion was cast, one was placed in the imperial court medical office for medical students to observe and practice. The other is placed in the Renji Hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the capital for the people to visit. "Zisheng Xunfeng" has become one of the eight scenic spots in Bianjing.

It is a pity that during the Jingkang Rebellion, the two bronze figures were missing, it is rumored that one of them was plundered by the Jin army, and the other may have been taken out of Bianjing and flowed into Xiangyang Mansion.

In 1232, the Yuan army attacked Bianjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Two years later, the Jin Kingdom collapsed, and the Yuan Dynasty took the opportunity to send envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty to coerce and ask for acupuncture bronze figures. Afraid of the power of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty had to sacrifice the "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man".

Later, because the "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" has gone through more than 200 years, it has been "bad for a long time" and needs to be repaired urgently. In 1260 A.D., Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, summoned skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and finally ordered the Nepalese craftsman Anigo to repair the "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man". After four years of hard work, Anigo was finally restored to new condition, so he was rewarded and awarded an official by Kublai Khan.

The stone tablets of "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture and Moxibustion Bronze Man" and "Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Illustrated Sutra" were moved from Bianjing to the Three Emperors Temple of Yuan Dadu.

Zhu Yuanzhang captured the capital of Yuan and established the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the stone tablets of "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture and Moxibustion Bronze Man" and "New Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Diagram" were still placed in the Three Emperors Temple.

By the eighth year of Ming orthodoxy, the "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" that had gone through more than 400 years had been dimmed, and the names of acupuncture points had been blurred. The edict of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was modeled on the "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" to cast an acupuncture bronze man, which was called the "Ming orthodox acupuncture bronze man", which was "not far off" from the "Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze man".

At the same time, it also imitated the Song Tiansheng stone carving "Bronze Acupoint Acupuncture Illustrated Sutra". The "Ming Orthodox Acupuncture Bronze Man" was placed in the Yaowang Temple and was preserved until the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty lost the capital, in the war, the "Ming orthodox acupuncture bronze man" was destroyed and injured on the head, and it was not repaired until the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded and plundered a large number of national treasures, and now it can be confirmed that the "Ming Orthodox Acupuncture Bronze Man" is hidden in the State Almitish Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and this "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" is missing, but I didn't expect a statue to appear here today!
