Chapter 89: The Theory of Epidemics (1)
On the dragon line, Zhang Zhongjing relied on his well-informed, and every time he spoke, he aroused Liu Xie's interest.
After a good conversation, Liu Xie discussed with him the establishment of a medical school.
According to Liu Xie's idea, this medical school will have two deans, the dean of surgery is Hua Tuo, and the dean of internal medicine is Zhang Zhongjing.
This is also divided according to the areas in which the two of them excel.
In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, there are three major patriarchs, in addition to the originator Bian Que, the other two patriarchs are in this era, that is, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.
Hua Tuo's medical skills are comprehensive, especially good at surgery, good at surgery, and are known as the "originator of surgery" by later generations, so Liu Xie will make him the dean of surgery; Zhang Zhongjing, who specializes in typhoid fever infectious diseases, is the founder of TCM internal medicine.
Hearing that Hua Tuo would come to Chang'an soon, Zhang Zhongjing's eyes instantly lit up, and his expression was extremely hungry: "Your Majesty is saying that Brother Yuanhua will build a medical school with Weichen?" ”
"Not bad!"
The kind of sympathetic look emitted by the whole body of the medical saint, Liu Xie really knows it too well!
Master!
It's always lonely as snow!
Now these two ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine have the opportunity to communicate for a long time, which is a great joy in life for them.
"Dr. Zhang is good at internal medicine, and Dr. Hua Tai is good at surgery, and the combination of the two is a major event in the history of Han medicine!"
"History of Medicine?"
After Zhang Zhongjing heard this, the light in his eyes was even worse.
He only heard that the Great History is in charge of the six canons of the country, the small history is in charge of the country's aspirations, the internal history is in charge of the king's life, the outer history is in charge of the Quartet, the left history is in charge, and the right is in history.
Since ancient times, most of the history books have recorded the major policies of the state and the words and deeds of the emperors, when will there be a "history of medicine"?
"Mr. Zhongjing doesn't need to be surprised, I plan to revise a medical history book in the future, and I am asking the imperial doctors to write a "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine"."
"The history books record the deeds of famous doctors in the past dynasties, and the canons write all kinds of exquisite medical skills."
"Since then, the ceremony has spread, and the people of the Han family. There will be fewer disasters and fewer disasters, and the life expectancy will also be improved! ”
"Bang! Bang! ”
The best uncle Zhang Zhongjing can no longer be calm at this time, and his heart is like carrying a little rabbit. Bang Bang straight jump, the joy in my heart, reflected on my face is the breathing is heavier, and the light in my eyes is brighter.
"Wechen is the world's doctors, as well as the Han people. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness. Banzai! Hooray! ”
"Sir, don't be polite."
Helping Zhang Zhongjing up, Liu Xie showed a smile on his face.
Dahan's medical technology will make a great leap forward under the leadership of these two TCM patriarchs.
In the future, in addition to the improvement of living standards, the people of the Han family will also receive better medical security, which is the beginning of a happy life!
The two looked at each other, as if they had seen the great development of medicine in this time and space, and the happy and happy faces of the people when they lived a long life.
"Your Majesty is indeed the king of mercy!"
After the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing returned to his position, he bowed and praised: "When Weichen returned to his hometown in Nanyang the month before last. I often hear the people praise His Majesty's wisdom and love for the people~~~"
"Praise matters, you don't need to say much."
Waving his hand, motioning to Uncle Yisheng to put away his words of praise, Liu Xie continued to arouse his interest: "Sir, I don't want to know, where is Imperial Doctor Hua now?" ”
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Zhongjing bowed his hand and asked: "I hope Your Majesty will tell me that the minister may not have seen Brother Yuanhua for a long time." ”
"Sir, don't be anxious, Imperial Doctor Hua has accepted my call, but he is still treating people in Yuzhou, and it will take some time before he can come to Chang'an."
Hua Tuo, who has always liked Youfang. The reason why he was willing to accept Liu Xie's call, in addition to the grand event of the medical school, Zhang Zhongjing was also a great attraction to him.
used Hua Tuo to seduce Zhang Zhongjing, and used Zhang Zhongjing to make Hua Tuo's heart flutter. This is one of Liu Xie's means of recruiting talents.
After discussing the establishment of the medical school for a while and temporarily setting some basic matters, Liu Xie led the topic to the most important things at present, the prevention of cold disasters and the prevention and control of large-scale influenza.
"Mr. Zhongjing has a unique skill for typhoid fever. I don't know if you have seen a county or even a county where the people all have high fever, burning throat, and sometimes abdominal pain and vomiting? ”
"This is a fever, but the minister has seen a lot. Recently, in the second year of the first emperor's Zhongping, the Yanzhou epidemic, the people of Dingtao County, from the county magistrate to the people, were all infected with fever. ”
Weichen remembered that it was a heavy snow year, and there were many frostbitten people in the world. There are more injured people in Dingtao County, and many people have a fever and vomit. That year, Weichen was also just out of the division, although he tried his best, but still could not keep the health of the people in the county, there were ten and three or four ~~~"
Zhang Zhongjing recalled the sad scene of the year, his forehead was tightly wrinkled, and his heart ached like a knife.
"This fever may still appear this year, and then it will spread in Guanzhong?"
"What!"
Stopping the exclamation of the medical saint, Liu Xie continued: "I came to report too often a few days ago, and I am afraid that there will be a blizzard this year, although honeycomb coal has been popularized, which can help the people keep out the cold. ”
"But there is still a possibility of fever outbreak~~~"
Indeed!
Even if the people's warmth work is done, but cold and fever are not just a simple matter of keeping warm!
The medical saint, who was immersed in grief, heard this explosive news again, and instantly jumped up, grabbed Liu Xie's little hand regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and his eyes were full of shock: "Your Majesty, this fever is not easy to treat!" ”
"After Weichen healed the people of one village, he went back to another township to heal the people, but in less than two days, the people who were just right in the original village returned to their sick state~~~"
"This fever often recurs, and it is impossible to cure it with the power of mortals."
"Of course I know this!"
After signaling Zhang Zhongjing to return to his seat, Liu Xie said slowly: "Actually, Mr. also knows that it is not difficult to treat this fever, but how can it not recur?" ”
"Your Majesty, that's right!"
"The gentleman has a saying: Those who are sick with fever are all typhoid fever and the like." Liu Xie revealed some medical common sense in later generations, hoping to introduce this medical saint to a new temple: "Although this statement is good, it is not enough to go straight to the source!" ”
"The so-called typhoid fever is also known as fever. However, the plague that caused the people to get sick at the same time was not just typhoid fever, but included plague, dysentery, malaria, and influenza. ”
"The symptoms of these diseases, although they are mainly manifested as fever, are not caused by injury, but by infection~~~"
"Infected?"
It was the first time Zhang Zhongjing heard this word, and his brows couldn't help but be tightly tangled.
"At that time in Dingtao, after Mr. cured the patient, did he tell the people to pay attention to resisting the cold wind, and after the hometown people recovered from their illness, they often closed the windows without ventilation?"
"Indeed, most of the villagers' illnesses are caused by typhoid fever, so they need to resist the cold at all times. And it was early spring, and the wind was still cold~~~"
seemed to understand a little, but as if it was blocked by something, the wrinkles on Zhang Zhongjing's forehead were clustered together, exposing the confusion in his heart to the fullest.
"Actually, this is one of the reasons for the recurrence of the old disease!"
Zhang Zhongjing listened to the words of the Son of Heaven, but he felt that the words of the Son of Heaven were as deafening as a thunderbolt exploded above his head. (To be continued.) )
