Chapter 893 - Popularizing the Concept of Eugenics. Extra
After many discussions among the courtiers, they finally came up with a proper and appropriate science popularization method.
Meantime.
Mr. Jiao, the former Tanhua Lang, also with the help of many doctors in the Tai Hospital, at the request of the emperor, drew the shape of the baby in the mother's womb from one month to ten months.
And that's not all.
After Ye Qing and Shao Li discussed, they discussed with their respective ministers, and finally found the emperor and empress to privately propose to popularize the knowledge and concept of eugenics and parenting to the people.
"Eugenics? What do you mean? The emperor looked at Yimei and Shao Li with some understanding.
“?” The queen also looked at the two curiously.
Ye Qing took a sip of water and began to explain carefully to the two of them.
"Eugenics: refers to the birth of a child with a strong physique and an intelligent brain; Parenting: It refers to raising children in the right way. ”
Speaking of which.
Ye Qing paused for a moment, sighed, and gave an example with emotion.
"For example: if a child has a high fever and convulsions, he can't go to God and worship the Buddha to pour incense ash water, talisman water, and blindly cover the child with a lot of sweat and other means to cure the disease, otherwise, the child will burn into a fool, and even sweat too much and collapse from lack of water and die."
"For example, not long after the child was born, the parents were worried that the child would catch a cold, so they did not bathe the child for ten days and a half, resulting in the folds and skin of the child's neck, behind the ears, thigh sockets, and armpits, which were red, swollen and inflamed, and even run thick water, but the grandparents sprinkled it with fine soil ash at the foot of the wall." When I was a child, the grandmother next door did this for my grandson.
In fact.
These problems are not to mention this feudal era.
Even in her previous life, when she was a child.
In vast rural areas, many people use these methods when raising children.
On the one hand, it is because of the poor traffic and the inconvenience of seeking medical treatment.
On the other hand, it is also because the countrymen are too short of money.
Another aspect is that many people highly respect the local methods of curing diseases passed down by the ancestors by word of mouth.
Her generation was better, and the medical conditions were even worse at that time for her parents' generation and those who carried her grandmother.
She knew it couldn't be done all at once.
If you say and do it, you can light up the spark, and one day, the spark can start a prairie fire.
If not.
Perhaps the promotion of medical knowledge in this time and space will be delayed for many years.
Ji Nanshan put his palm on the back of his wife's hand and patted it gently.
Shao Li: "The purpose of eugenics is to avoid and reduce congenital malformations and sick and disabled children, raise and teach more intelligent and healthy children, improve the physical quality of the population of the whole society, and make the people happy and happy families." ”
After Cheng Huaijin and the queen heard this, they glanced at each other and felt that this issue was worth paying attention to.
"How can I have a good baby?" The emperor asked.
Ye Qing: "Direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations cannot get married; Before trying to conceive, the husband and wife should stop drinking alcohol and avoid drug intake, of course, if the two are unwell and sick, it is not suitable to have children during that time. ”
"Because they are close relatives, both husband and wife will inherit the same disease, for example: a healthy person, and a child born with a sick person, then, half of the likely children will be healthy, if both husband and wife have the same disease, then, the child must have the best chance of inheriting the disease of the parents, at the same time, there is a great possibility that there will be physical disabilities, as well as intellectual disabilities."
