195, "Neijing"
Xu Xiaole took another sip of water and continued: "After making up your mind, you will be Mingdao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMedical ethics is humanitarianism, and I was a teacher at the beginning...... My master took me to Qionglong Mountain to observe the nature of heaven and earth, and to understand the principle of the unity of heaven and man. I'm very busy right now, so you can find an opportunity to see it yourself, so that you can realize it. No one can do this for you. ”
Coincidentally, when Xu Xiaole said this, Li Xiqiang happened to walk in with a shaking, and it was really rare to come so early. As soon as he came, he heard Xu Xiaole talking about "my master", knowing that this "master" was to make Sun Yufeng, but he was still happy in his heart. It's like walking on the road and picking up silver for nothing, which is very refreshing.
Xu Xiaole saw the cheap smile on Li Xiqiang's face, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said secretly: I asked you to take advantage of it again!
The four apprentices saw Li Xiqiang, but they only felt that the old gentleman was smiling very kindly, and hurriedly saluted.
Li Xiqiang said: "Doctor Xu said that Di is still very reasonable." Listen well, not perfunctory. ”
The four of them nodded again and again, but they all felt that it was not difficult to aspire or understand nature.
As everyone knows, just such a little negligence, compared to Xu Xiaole's serious investment at the beginning, the starting point has been many realms lower.
It's like Xu Xiaole dug a very deep foundation, but they just swept away the bricks on the ground. Who can build a high-rise building that "can pick the stars with his hands", and who can only build a small thatched hut, is already doomed at this moment.
Li Xiqiang went to sit in his place, and while picking someone to get him breakfast, he looked at Xu Xiaole's disciples. The reason why he is not willing to accept apprentices is that he is lazy and troublesome to teach, but it is very interesting to watch people teach apprentices.
Xu Xiaole scratched his head: "Where did you go?" ”
"Realize the unity of heaven and man." Chen Mingyuan reminded.
Xu Xiaole sighed and continued: "If you understand the unity of heaven and man, you will know what medicine is. Knowing what medicine is all about is like building a house and knowing where to erect pillars and beams, everything is clear and clear.
"So what's next? It's just about preparing the materials. To build a house, you have to prepare wood, masonry, and tiles, right? So what are the materials for us to study medicine? ”
Xu Xiaole patted the case lightly: "It's the medical book of the predecessors." Among the medical books, which are similar to the cornerstone and pillar, is the "Neijing". However, before reading medical books, history books must also be carefully studied. You go back and find it yourself, you can rent the bookstore, I'm very busy, it's all up to you. ”
The four of them nodded again and again, and they didn't understand that they had to read history before studying medicine.
Xu Xiaole saw the doubts and disapproval on their faces, and recalled in his heart what Uncle Shi said about a mountain fried into a bowl of water, and a drop was extracted from a bowl of water...... Now look at it, Uncle Shi is really preaching, but what he is doing now is not even teaching.
Xu Xiaole thought again: They are indeed not preachers, and they are not considered disciples. Just showing them the way, I'm enthusiastic enough.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Xiaole is much more comfortable. He turned his head to look at Yang Chengde and said to the four apprentices: "Doctor Yang's apprentices only got to teach the "Neijing" today, which shows how much foundation you have laid before, you should study hard." ”
Chen Mingyuan snickered in his heart: Yang Chengde's apprentices can't even distinguish between the Eastern and Western Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, what foundation can they have?
When Yang Chengde's many disciples heard this, they also blushed: Is this Xu Xiaole laughing at us! What is the foundation, it is true that the master does not teach it!
Yang Chengde naturally couldn't ask Xu Xiaole to be so unscrupulous and sarcastic, so he coughed dryly and said: "Before reading the scriptures, you really need to make some preparations, at least you have to sharpen your mind." ”
Xu Xiaole doesn't take the idea of sharpening his mind seriously. He didn't see any need to sharpen his mind at all, wasn't his original mind bad? Sharpen and sharpen, I'm afraid there will be more fools. He was wondering if he would also talk about the "Neijing" chapter today, when he suddenly saw two booklets in Cao Bao's hand.
Xu Xiaole asked him: "What are you holding the "Neijing" in your hand?" ”
Yang Chengde finally waited for Xu Xiaole to bump into him, stroked his beard and smiled: "Yang has no long things, if there is some value, there is only the fragment of the "Neijing" handed down by the teacher. Over the years, Yang has collected a few more articles, completed them, and now has recorded the "Thirteen Articles" and annotated them, and passed them on to his disciples today. ”
Xu Xiaole looked at Yang Chengde blankly.
Yang Chengde looked back at Xu Xiaole with great satisfaction.
Xu Xiaole finally asked, "Why is it a fragment?" ”
The corners of Yang Chengde's mouth twitched: "Because this book is difficult to find......"
Since the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, China has been truly unified across the four seas, and the Qiankun has to wait until the Ming Dynasty is founded. At the turn of the Song and Yuan dynasties, China was even more fishy, and I don't know how many classic books were destroyed in the war. Even if the Yongle Emperor repaired the "Yongle Canon", a collection of 8,000 kinds of books and a total of 370 million words, it was only partially saved.
These books, which can still be found, are often commonly used. For example, "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Prescription" is widely circulated, it can be found in a pharmacy, and many readers who are interested in medicine also have it preserved, so it is easy to get the whole book.
However, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" has never been a bestseller.
It is first and foremost a Taoist scripture.
Taoist priests regarded it as the foundation of Neidan, an important classic for understanding the physiological activities of the human body. However, there are too many curative contents in this book, and pen, ink and paper are so expensive, why should a Taoist priest with good health skills copy these things? So they copy only the passages they need, and even passages from certain passages.
So as a medical scripture, did the doctors copy it all?
Not necessarily.
As the cornerstone of the medical gate, the Neijing originated in the pre-Qin period and was written in the Western Han Dynasty.
The chapters in "Su Wen" and "Lingshu" were transmitted separately for a long period of time. Some chapters don't match the title, and some have three or four names. Many doctors have benefited so much from some of them that they have only copied these chapters and ignored the rest.
In addition, the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the well-dressed Nandu, and the Sui and Tang dynasties fought for hegemony...... It was already a matter of the Tang Su Zongbao to collect the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" completely, organize it into volumes, and publish it into a volume.
The words in the "Neijing" are ancient and arcane, and for the doctors of the Tang and Song dynasties, it is closer to the words of the Yin and Yang Fangshi, so it is not widely respected by the doctors of the Tang and Song dynasties. At that time, it was popular to read prescriptions - books that included scriptures and prescriptions, only looking at the symptoms and then looking for prescriptions for the symptoms, and grasping the medicine according to the prescription. To put it bluntly, it is to only seek what it is, not why it is.
At the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when those doctors escaped from the war, their luggage was limited, so should they bring the convenient and practical "Bureau" or the "Neijing" that they couldn't read?
This choice is not difficult.
So when the Jin Yuan doctors set their sights on "Typhoid Fever" and "Neijing", they found that the whole book was difficult to find.

After writing this chapter, I suddenly felt that studying medicine in this era is really happy.
