Prologue Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sit and Talk
Mother Su was studying those demon pills, and when she heard Su Wen sigh, she turned around and scolded: "It's not a good point, it's so barbaric to dance knives and sticks, you have been practicing boxing since you were a child, and you are not playing a shovel." It's understandable that you can't beat it. I'll get you a few guns when you go back, and next time you'll be far away. The most powerful thing is the cannon. Southern Xinjiang ..... that year"
Su Wen hurriedly interrupted his mother's whimsical thinking: "Can you still get a gun?"
"Of course, I saved a few of the big people now, and one of them was broken into a broken sack by shrapnel, and I took a vacation that day, and I sewed him up when I was bored, and there was a lot of shrapnel..... He later asked for half a pound as a souvenir. There was also a man who stepped on a mine, and his arms, legs, intestines, etc., were piled up on a stretcher and sent over, and I looked really awkward. It took a night of tossing to get it neat. And a ......."
"That's because you have a habit of cleanliness, how many times have you beaten my quilt if I don't fold it well? ”
"Don't care about cleanliness or not, it's no problem for me to ask them for a few guns, in fact, the cannon is better, it's bigger. ”
"It's the same as the truth, do people still know you?" Su Wen was deeply suspicious, he hadn't heard of anyone who had ever been a soldier.
"I must recognize it, your mother and I are so well maintained, but I don't know if it will startle people? I slipped back, and I never contacted anyone again. ”
"Okay, why did you sneak back?"
"I don't want to be locked up for research, I have studied medicine in the army for more than ten years, and I have been on the front line for seven or eight years. I've been messing around for so long, and I'm still a little girl, and I can't hide it if I stay any longer. ”
"And then?"
"Later, I went home and got married and gave birth to you. ”
"Neighbors don't suspect?"
"So I went to be a soldier since I was a child, and I said that I was a soldier, and I became a distant relative of your grandmother, and I came to serve her for the elderly, didn't I let you go to work in other places?"
"Is that okay?"
"Anyway, when you're old, no one cares if you're 60 or 100. ”
Puribbatel listened to the chatting between the two of them, and was secretly having fun, and he couldn't help it: "Yes, yes, it's so strange, no one cares how old you are when you're old, no matter where you are, there must be an old lady in the neighborhood, and you don't know how long you've lived." ”
Su Wen found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, why did he use cold weapons? How good it is to use a gun.
Sitting was also boring, and Przybubatel opened the conversation: "This person's obsession with immortality has been around for a long time, from ancient times to recent times, and he can invest a lot of resources in immortality. ”
"Ancient Qin Shi Huang, I know, isn't it a god to do this again in modern times?"
"Aren't medical institutions and biological research institutions studying immortality? ”
Su Wen felt that it was a bit dangerous to talk about this with a god stick, so he decided not to speak anymore, and subconsciously took out a dagger in his hand, and sharpened the teeth of the demon beast he had just taken like an apple, and realized that something was wrong: I'm afraid that this monster tooth is not a parallel commodity today, right?
Su's mother was chatting happily: "So since ancient times, doctors have been a good job, and many doctors have been praised as gods, immortals." Our Su family is also regarded as a family history, catching up with the changes of the times, some Chinese medical skills have gone astray, and some have been false. Even Su Wen doesn't believe in Chinese medicine anymore. ”
"We are not in the same situation as a doctor, our shaman was originally a combination of witch doctors and has been passed down for many years. Later, it gradually declined. ”
When he was waiting, he was the most bored, and Su Wen couldn't help but interject: "The doctors here are very skilled, and everyone can live to be more than a hundred years old." I know a doctor, so I'll go back and talk to you. Speaking of Chinese medicine, can Mongolian doctors communicate? Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can do it, and everyone can prescribe Western medicine. ”
Su's mother can't stand it anymore, this is going to smash her own job. scolded: "Let your mother's fart, I said that modern Chinese medicine is different from ancient Chinese medicine, don't mix it up." Now that I have nothing to do, I will give you a science popularization of our family's traditional Chinese medicine theory, so that you will not be embarrassed when you go out. Su's mother didn't notice that she was scolding herself. Huffing and beckoning, Su Wen sat closer.
There is nothing left and right, just listen to it freshly.
Su's mother reached out for the dagger, and while scratching around on the ground, she said eloquently: "Do you know how the doctor came?" The earliest so-called doctors, that is, some people are hungry, find some grass to promote digestion to eat, or find something to induce vomiting to eat, cats and dogs actually will. There are so many ways to slowly discover that they need to be specifically recorded, and the one who is the most idle and longest-lived in the tribe remembers the most. This person usually does some sacrifices to heaven and earth, exorcism, inviting gods or something, and he forms a witch doctor. There is little difference between the ethnic groups in this regard. ”
When Przybubatel heard this, he stopped turning over the loot: "Why are you still talking about me? We shamans have had to learn medicine since we were children, but I have no interest, but the medicine is not bad, there are many kinds of meat, offal, and it tastes very good." (P.S Mongolian medicine mostly uses animal meat and offal)
Su Wen looked at the cold dagger whip in his mother's hand, and he didn't dare to speak, which happened to hit the muzzle of the gun: "This fully shows that you are a primitive person, and you can ....... in addition to hunger and illness."
The latter words were scared back by my mother's hand. "Lao Pu, aren't you a teacher?
"Isn't this a matter of origin, I don't have a choice. ”
"Yiduo is not pressing, but the relevance of your craft is too much... What's the matter... Hehe, "Su's mother is also happy."
Su Wen was ruined by this magic stick disguised as a teacher, and it was easy to seize an opportunity, and he choked and said: "He is good at this skill, first he will be a teacher for children, and when he retires, he will find a park to spread cloth, divination, selling hexagrams, and occasionally exorcism." When the person is gone, you have to ask him to dance the god when he is buried, from elementary school to the cemetery... One-stop service. I can't escape from his palm. ”
After saying that, I wanted to run, but I was stopped by my mother with a murderous aura "You are all day long, you don't have a door in your mouth, and you don't know who to learn from this nonsense. Apologize quickly. ”
Przybubatel was not angry: "Forget it, forget it, I'm used to it, and he has to be awkward for a while." .... Then the records and transmission of this witch doctor are early medical books, right? This form of medicine is also considered empirical medicine. ”
"Yes, it's still Professor Pu who is educated. ...... There are many books in this period, such as "Fifty-two Prescriptions", "Su Wen", "Bai's Neijing", "Bai's Outer Classic", "Bian Que's Neijing", "Bian Que's Waijing", ...... It's a pity that some of them have been lost, and I heard that the Su Dynasty still exists..... Su Wen, you have to be free, go and help me find it. ”
Su Wen thought to himself: You are not here? I was just scolded, and I didn't dare to touch my head again, so I could only nod and agree.
"There are too many books, which shows that there are too many messy experiences, and some will fight. This requires removing the chaff, summarizing and establishing a guiding ideology. Zhang Zhongjing, who did this work, became a "medical saint". Those who can't write books and can cure diseases are called Su Xian, Fan Xian ...... This medical saint Zhang Zhongjing comprehended the essence of the scriptures before the Han Dynasty, and he established the six scriptures in the dialectical system of his predecessors, which was suitable for decoction, to guide the use of scriptures. He also wrote "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which cured colds and plagues. He also wrote "Prescriptions for Evaluating Diseases", "Prescriptions for Treating Women", "Five Tibetan Treatises" and so on... Why is it "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases"? At that time, plague and malaria were the most terrible diseases, and half of the people in Europe died from the Black Death, and of course other diseases were not a big deal, and those who could not survive the plague were not qualified to get other diseases. "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and our orange leaves are aimed at the plague.
There are also people who have established the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory" on the theory of Huang Lao Taoism, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". These medical theories regard the human body as a unity of qi, form and spirit, and through the methods of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, the four diagnoses and references, they explore the etiology, pathology, disease location, analysis of the pathogenesis and the changes in the five internal organs, meridians and joints, qi, blood, and fluid in the human body, and judge the growth and decline of evil, and then derive the name of the disease, summarize the syndrome type, and treat the principle of syndrome differentiation, and then apply different treatment methods, so that the human body can achieve the harmony of yin and yang and recover.
So the Han was a watershed, and before it was governed by its own rule, and then it was unified. ”
Przybubatel said: "It should be this truth, it is said that the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" was written in the Han Dynasty, and the origin should come from the pre-Qin period. ”
Su's mother made a look and asked Su Wen to pay attention to the lecture. Su Wen thought: Is this medicine student so terrible? I am almost dizzy when I hear the title of the book, do you want to see so much? I don't dare not praise it: "Then Chinese medicine can do surgery? Don't talk about Bian Que, that person can't be tested." ”
This should be said separately, the six meridian dialectical system and the theoretical basis of the five elements of yin and yang guided the continued development of traditional Chinese medicine later, the philosophical ideas of the theory of the scriptures and the five elements of yin and yang belong to the category of Taoist thought, the thought of traditional Chinese medicine and Taoism have the same origin, not completely derived from Taoism, the real source is still the doctor of the hundred families, ten doctors and nine Taos, integrated with each other, so there is Tao in medicine, there is medicine in Taoism, and later Hua Tuo, Ge Hong, Sun Simiao and other medical masters are also Taoists. But Chinese medicine is by no means a doctor. Not to mention Hua Tuo's words, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were many surgical operations recorded in "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Relic Prescription". Do you know what is the most famous TCM surgery?"
Su Wen was bored, in addition to Hua Tuo, how could there be a knife who could use a knife? It seems that he wants to play this trump card, and he doesn't dare not cooperate. Pretending to be humble and asking for advice: "Is there really an operation?"
"Cut hemorrhoids, boil the herbs of turnips, and then put the prepared thin thread in it and boil it for a while, and finally just put the thin thread on the root of the hemorrhoids and tighten it, and the hemorrhoids will automatically fall off after a period of time, which is very safe. Know how hemorrhoids were treated in Western countries at that time?
"How?"
"Take a red-hot soldering iron and burn it directly. ”
The two listeners suddenly tightened and said in unison: "It's so simple and brutal!!"
Su's mother struck while the iron was hot: "There is also castration of eunuchs, also called castration." ”
The two of them agreed, clamping their crotches, trembling and wanting to go first.
"Hahaha, just kidding, don't be nervous. ”
As a doctor, Su's mother also holds a dagger sharper than a scalpel.
"After the Han Dynasty, the Confucian scholars also came to worry about medicine, the body was skinned, and the parents who received it did not dare to destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety was ---- to play with dissection must be demons. Although doctors have published works such as "Tang Materia Medica" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", many later literati have written more empty talk than empirical evidence, and more sophistry than avenues. Later, it was the Qing Confucian doctor. In recent centuries, however, Western medicine has gradually developed and perfected from basic anatomy. Su's mother sighed. "Looking at Chinese medicine from the perspective of modern science is like measuring language by the standard of mathematics, and words with far-reaching meanings have become inaccurate models. ”
Su Wen couldn't understand it anyway, and seeing that his mother was worried, he hurriedly comforted: "I think the doctors in Song Guo are very powerful, maybe someone has studied the anatomy?"
Su's mother was interested: "If you have the opportunity, you must find out." However, according to the family tradition of traditional Chinese medicine, the medical skills of the Su Dynasty three hundred years ago were very high. Although it is consistent with the theory of the Han Dynasty, I don't understand it. It is said that without a microscope, it is difficult to enter the microscopic world to observe and find problems. If the virus cannot be found, how can the virus be solved? In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the human body is the dojo of heaven, and if you follow the actions of the human body, you will follow the nature and follow the trend. Conditioning the body is actually focused on restoring the order of the human body and allowing one's own immunity to heal the disease by itself. It can also be understood that medicine is to help the human body cure diseases, rather than to treat diseases themselves. Healing is the treatment of qi, what is qi in fact How to observe? It is a bit difficult to determine the intangible from the visible. And anatomy does not prove the existence of meridians and acupuncture points, but acupuncture, which is based on this theory, has proven to be effective in practice. Traditional Chinese medicine also says that the physical part is called the organs, and the divine part is called the Tibetan Qi, which is the structure of the human body in the divine body, which is connected by the meridians and acupuncture points. The healer also wills. What do they mean? How should these be observed? According to the ancestors, these are all things that can be observed and studied. Su Chao seems to have taken another path to study the human body, and he must go and see it. Speaking of which, Su's mother almost talked to herself.
"Yes, although I don't understand Chinese medicine, we have encountered the same problem, and there is no way to scientifically explain these objectively existing phenomena. For example, the influence of this jade pendant on people, and the principle of Dengxian Bridge. It's a place of mystery. We first observe, then hypothesize, and then carefully verify. This is the path of science. There is a long way to go, and we should encourage it together. ”
Su Wen was taken aback: You two are studying yarn? You two old arms and legs are not at home to hug your grandson, are you really going to study the new world? Anyway, if your mother wants to hold her grandson, she still has to give birth to herself, so she doesn't dare to speak.
Let's gossip again, it's getting late, and when the novelty slowly fades, the tiredness is even more than usual. Eat something casually, make a bonfire, Su Wen found some hay and spread it on the ground, and everyone went to sleep with their clothes.........
In the middle of the night, the demon beasts outside the beacon also left quietly........
