Chapter 23 "On the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases"
At the beginning of June of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng stepped down from his post in the middle of the service, and he was a special advance, and he still knew that his subordinates were in trouble. Immediately afterwards, Wen Yanbo replaced Li Jing as Shangshu's right servant; Then Yang Shidao served as a servant, and several prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty completed a round of replacement.
However, all these changes in the center of the Tang Dynasty were stopped because the thirty-six-year-old Empress Changsun collapsed in the Lizheng Palace.
At the same time, there was also a major renovation of the Han Palace.
Of course, Li Yuanjia will not repair his own house when Li Shimin is grief-stricken, honestly close the door of the new house, and be his own otaku every day - when a man loses his favorite woman, Li Yuanjia will definitely not easily touch Li Shimin's mold.
However, taking this opportunity, he took the opportunity to let people in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places to collect medical books, especially some medical books that are famous among doctors, but Han Wangfu has not yet collected, and he has put on a posture of "marching towards medicine".
For a time, the fame of Han Wang's good medical book spread.
In fact, Li Yuanjia already had the title of the Prince of Bibliophile before, but this time he sent people to keep looking for medical books everywhere, which only further deepened the impression that others had on him.
And this time, the results are remarkable.
Anyway, Li Yuanjia is now also the boss of Yongzhou Mu, Yongzhou Governor Shi Yangsu, in order to curry favor with ...... In fact, it can't be regarded as a flattery, it can be regarded as a kind of reward for King Han's non-interference in Yongzhou's government affairs, Yang Su personally ordered to go down and let the people below help, and soon a rare medical book was sent to the temporary Han Wang's mansion!
And after getting these books, Li Yuanjia will definitely read them as soon as possible.
Thanks to the blessing of the golden finger in this life, the reading time of each book will basically not exceed one day - one is that most of the medical books in this year are made by individuals, and the length will not be too long; The second is that there are a lot of dross in ancient medical books, many of which rely on the imagination of doctors out of thin air, full of idealistic arguments, so Li Yuanjia often scans them and throws them aside after memorizing the content in his mind.
To put it bluntly, these books are basically worthless.
Even if it is a traditional Chinese medicine classic like "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", Li Yuanjia only uses it for observation, as his own knowledge accumulation, but he doesn't take the above things too seriously.
He studied modern medicine and was unlikely to accept the theories of Chinese medicine.
And Li Yuanjia knows more that although the book of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" was written very early, and later generations recognized that it should be in the Western Han Dynasty, it was only an early version. In fact, the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" that people saw in later generations no longer know how many editions it is.
Like many other medical books, they are all inherited and supplemented by the Huang Lao medical heritage in China.
Therefore, the "Emperor's Inner Diameter" during the Zhenguan period and the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" a thousand years later, Li Yuanjia took it for granted that there would be a big difference. In other words, there must have been a lot of errors in this early version, and it would have been necessary for the doctors who lived in the next thousand years to add to and modify them before a future version could be formed.
Li Yuanjia really didn't dare to use such a teaching material.
So after putting the book in his stomach, he didn't even study it once, and he didn't even bother with the other medical books he collected later.
Merely......
"It is an inch long and white, and it is small in shape, and it can be activated because of the weakness of its internal organs. Or drink liquor in the cloud, and a cloud is eaten with mulberry branches through the beef, and eaten raw chestnuts. Youyun: After eating raw fish, you can drink cheese immediately, and you will also be ...... alive"
"I'll go! This book is amazing! ”
On this day, Li Yuanjia just got a set of new books that were delivered, and after turning a few pages, he suddenly slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Inch white worm?
What is this thing talking about?
If it were based on words alone, Li Yuanjia would never have guessed it, but he was very fortunate that when he learned about parasites in college in his previous life, because of a chance play by a parasitology teacher, he just remembered this strange name - in ancient Chinese medicine, the meaning of inch white worm is tapeworm!
The reason why it is called inch white insect is because the ancients observed that the tapeworm is "one inch long and white, and the shape is small".
Of course, Li Yuanjia, who has studied the serious "Parasitology", knows that tapeworms are definitely not so small, and what the ancients saw should be the proglottids of tapeworms containing pregnant eggs. And the causes recorded in this book made Li Yuanjia amused after reading it.
The liquor of the Tang Dynasty was not the liquor as it would be said in the future, but rice wine. In these days, people like to use the raw materials used to make sake as the name of the sake, so the rice wine made from white rice is called baijiu.
But no matter how much you drink this thing, it has nothing to do with taeniasis!
However, the latter description says that the white worm disease is caused by eating beef skewers threaded with mulberry branches, and eating raw millet to get sick; There is also sashimi with cheese that can cause white worms or something, but it is quite a bit of a spectrum......
But after laughing, Li Yuanjia only admires the author of this book!
To judge the value of a book, we must take the times as the premise!
If it is placed in the future, this book can be said to be worthless, because just by reading these pages of parasitic diseases, Li Yuanjia can find countless faults in it...... No, it should be said that it can be swept directly into the garbage heap!
But in this day and age, the meaning is completely different!
Although in these few pages, there are such speculations as the master of the swarm of insects, which make people laugh after reading them, and there are also records of using "qigong" to treat parasitic diseases, which make people can't help but support their foreheads, but being able to write about the nine kinds of parasites found by doctors, describe them, and guess where they came from is already quite awesome in ancient times!
So after reading this chapter of "The Princes of Nine Worms", Li Yuanjia subconsciously closed the book and glanced at the title of this set of medical books again.
"The Origin and Syndrome of Diseases"?
In other words, this is a medical book dedicated to writing about the causes of various diseases?
Frowning and thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia could finally be sure that there was indeed no name of this book in his memory. Or he may have read it, but now he doesn't have the slightest impression - the ancient books of Chinese medicine that he can still remember, that is, classics and masterpieces such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Qianjinfang" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".
And after casually flipping through more than a dozen pages, Li Yuanjia's eyes gradually became solemn: "Tut, if this set of books had not been destroyed in the war and had been passed on, it would definitely not have been unknown in the history of Chinese medicine......"
If Li Yuanjia now has Baidu in his hands, he will know that "The Origin and Syndrome of All Diseases" is certainly not unknown in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is even a medical book with a high status!
To put it simply, this is the first monograph in China to describe the etiology, pathogenesis and symptoms of various diseases.
And......
In many different versions of historical records, one of them says that the author of this book was Chao Yuanfang, a former Sui medical official, and that the compilation of this book was on the orders of Emperor Yang of Sui, which is a slap in the face of Li Yuanjia's argument that the official did not organize the compilation of medical books......
