In a workshop in Xiyang City, the craftsmen are busy, and the things they make are a little special, not daily necessities, nor military supplies, but a kind of medicine-related thing - human skulls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From adults to children, from men to women, there are all kinds of human skulls, and the whole workshop is full of gloom, just like purgatory on earth.

Where do these things come from? It's very simple, the road dumps the corpse, the death row prisoner who has no one to collect the corpse, that's all.

The structure of the human body has always been a taboo area that doctors want to explore, and no one wants their own or their loved ones' bodies to be dissected and put together into a skeleton.

No one wants their relatives or ancestors to be so insulted, so the exploration of human anatomy has been stagnant since ancient times, and only now has there been a breakthrough.

To be precise, this breakthrough took place in Huangzhou, and the government allowed it to try "research", and the object of research was first of all the ownerless road corpse.

After many trainings, the craftsmen's "craftsmanship" has become more and more exquisite, and the "finished product" produced has reached 100% integrity.

"Longevity, please see, this is an adult man's skull, unwound, and there are no cracks in the skull."

A man over half a hundred years old was looking at a skull, which was contained in a lacquer plate, and two black eyes were "staring" at the person in front of him, and ordinary people were afraid that their legs would tremble when they saw it, but in his eyes it was no different from the skulls of pigs, horses, cows, and sheep.

He looked at the mouth of the skull, stared carefully at the teeth for a moment, then turned to look at the soap-clothed man next to him and asked, "This man is about thirty years old?" ”

"Longevity and good eyesight, twenty-nine and eight months before this life."

When people eat, their teeth will wear out, and ordinary people eat coarse grains so the wear and tear is more serious, and experienced people can judge the approximate age of the person according to the wear and tear of the other party's teeth.

Who will have the experience? Examiner or healer.

The so-called examiner is the official who is responsible for the autopsy or the clerk, these people have ancestral skills, and they have been doing autopsies for many years, so their eyes are very poisonous.

And the so-called healers, not all doctors can do this, and ordinary doctors do not use this skill, because it is meaningless to study the teeth of the dead, and only those famous doctors who are skilled in medicine and want to go to the next level will continue to delve into the secrets of the human body.

The man in the soap robe was a state official who had examined the body for decades, and the man who was more than half a hundred years old was the second son of Yao Shengyuan, a famous doctor of a generation, and Yao the most prince of Changshou County.

"Changshou Gong, please look here, this skull is a woman's head, compared with a man's skull, there is no speciality, that is to say, whether it is a man or a woman, the skull structure is the same, and the bones are not too many and will not be less."

"It's natural, not only for the skull, but also for the ribs."

Yao and the official discussed human bones without the slightest discomfort, just like the people who bought ribs at the butcher's place, commenting on the quality of the bones.

There are a total of 29 human skulls for both men and women, including eight skulls, including parietal bones, temporal bones, frontal bones, occipital bones, sphenoid bones, ethmoid bones, etc.;

There are fifteen pieces of facial skull, including lacrimal bones, cheekbones, palatal bones, inferior turbinate bones, maxilla, nasal bones, vomers, hyoid bones, mandibles, etc., a total of 23 pieces.

Three other pairs of ossicles are located in the middle ear tympanic chamber inside the temporal bone, adding up to a total of 29 ossicles.

Everyone is an "insider", when it comes to skulls, Yao's most knowledge is taught by his father, and there is a complete skull in the family, and the official relies on the knowledge passed down from generation to generation, plus decades of "practical operation".

This kind of knowledge is a bit shady, after all, discussing the topic of human bones in public can make people feel like cannibals, but the situation is slightly different now.

With the permission of the imperial court, the Huangzhou Prefecture was able to semi-openly organize people to study the structure of the human body, of course, the source of the human body could only be death row prisoners who had no one to collect the corpses, and there were no owners to dump the corpses.

Even so, each corpse is not easy to come by, first dissected to understand the structure of the human body, and then the dissected corpse has to be "fleshed", leaving the bones for teaching purposes.

There are individual skulls, there are also complete human bones, and there are three sets of made human skeletons in the room, which are supported by wooden frames to "stand", and they look like skeletons.

Yao walked in front of a skeleton and carefully looked at it from head to toe, the knowledge of human body structure taught by his father back then is no longer illusory but "materialized", and it is no longer so difficult to understand.

"Changshou Gong, after carefully counting below, the whole body skeleton of an adult is divided into two hundred and six pieces for both men and women, which can be divided into three parts: the skull, the trunk bone and the limb bone. Among them are 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones. ”

The clerk told me that he had studied many human bones, and he could be regarded as "well-informed", so even in front of Yao Zhi, who had a much higher status, he was not stage frightened.

"Young children have slightly more bones, about 217 pieces, and as for babies, there are more than 300 pieces."

Yao nodded mostly, although he hadn't counted it himself, but his father had already passed on this knowledge to him back then, "The baby's sacrum has not healed, so there are a few more bones, what about the other extra bones?" ”

"The baby has a few more pieces of the tailbone, and two pieces each of the ilium, ischium, and pubic bone that will eventually merge into the hip bone."

Yao didn't accept it immediately, carefully looked at the skeleton of a baby, and then looked at the skeleton of an adult, and finally nodded: "With this skeleton, it is clear at a glance!" ”

"Changshou Gong said yes, not to mention anything else, is to learn how to reduce dislocation, look at this human skeleton, apprentices learn to get twice the result with half the effort, if you treat bone injuries such as fractures, there are a lot of hearts."

During the conversation, the two walked out of the room, and there was a strange smell in the air, and the two of them knew the source of this smell, so they didn't stop and walked out of the yard quickly.

Yao got into a carriage and went to Zhouxue, where he collapsed in Xiyang City near Zhouxue, next door to his old friend Liu Zhuo.

His medical skills were learned later, and he can be said to be a halfway monk, compared to medical skills, Yao is the best at learning, and it is for this reason that Liu Zhuo, one of the two Lius, is a good friend.

Yao Sengyuan, the father of Yao most, was a native of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, served as the imperial doctor of Liang, Hou Jing's rebellion to avoid trouble in Jiangling, and later the Western Wei Dynasty attacked Jiangling, and moved the civil and military officials of Liang and the people in the city to the north, Yao Sengyuan and his second son Yao Shi came to Chang'an.

Yao Sengyuan's name as a miracle doctor resounded all over the country, and was highly respected in the Zhou State, and Yao did not succeed his father at first, but was famous for his talent and learning, and was the assistant of Wang Yu Wenxian of Zhou Guoqi at that time, and took the road of learning.

Later, Yu Wenxian played the Son of Heaven and let Yao Zizi succeed his father, and from then on he began to learn medical skills from his father, and his skills were good.

When the war broke out in the second year of the elephant, Yao was in Hebei, thousands of miles away from his father who lived in Chang'an, and his brother Yao Cha had been in the Southern Dynasty, and neither of the two brothers was by Yao Sengyuan's side.

At the beginning of that year, Tianyuan Emperor Yuwenyun was seriously stabbed, Yao Shengyuan tried his best to save his life, and then died of illness at the end of the year due to the deterioration of his mental health.

This time the official army recovered Chang'an, Yao was most planning to return to Chang'an to sweep his father's tomb, and his friend Liu Zhuo started school in Xiyang, Huangzhou, and specially lived in Xiyang City for a few days to wait for the situation in Guanzhong to be stable, and as a result, he got on the thief ship.

Human blood vessel distribution map, human bone structure map, human internal organ distribution map, these are the three drawings that the workshop is preparing to make, Yao is proficient in medical skills, and Yao knows best what this means for those who study medicine.

With these three pictures, the structure of the human body is clear at a glance, which can greatly promote the development of medical skills, how many people can benefit from it, and how many people can escape death?

There are countless living people, it is a portrayal of his father's achievements, for the doctor Yao Shi, this is also his belief, and for the painter Yao Shi, if he can sort out and draw these three pictures by himself and publish them in the world, it will be able to go down in history!
