Chapter 10: Pingle Zhenggu

At night, I listened to the master talk about "black pottery culture" and was fascinated, and even slept until dawn in a strange and weird posture, and got up early the next morning, not only did my neck fall on my pillow, but I couldn't move my arm on the side that was pressed, and the master looked at me as "semi-paralyzed" and fell into deep thought.

"Do I praise you for your good life, or do I think you are unlucky?"

I crooked my neck like a paralyzed patient, crying to the master, "help me, help me"

"Don't drag me on, Ma Yu packed up his things and found someone to straighten his bones"

"The concubine can't do it."

“.......”

When the master quietly scolded the tenth "Why did I accept such a thing from you, what a sin", he finally packed up his things and pulled me out, when I passed the front desk, I saw that the front desk's eyes were full of three points of shock, three points of doubt and four points of pity and sympathy, I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

On the way to "seek medical treatment", because I was close to drooling from a hemiplegic patient, I got a carload of uncles and aunts with different degrees of care in my eyes full of sympathy and pity.

"Alas, my son is as old as you, and my aunt couldn't help but shed tears when she saw you suffering this crime at such a young age." A kind aunt comforted me while taking out a tissue from the bag she was carrying and wiped her tears.

"No, auntie, I'm fine, I'm just stiff enough."

"Auntie knows that you are optimistic and afraid that Auntie is worried, but you can't just make up a reason to fool Auntie" After speaking, I didn't forget to take out an orange and peel it, break it and feed me a petal, I wanted to refuse, but half of my body couldn't move, and I was just about to open my mouth to refuse and was gagged by an orange.

I had to take a bite, it was so sour! Sour, I hurriedly spit out the orange and secreted saliva frantically.

Seeing this, my aunt thought I was sick, scared and retreated, the uncle on the side couldn't stand it, and immediately took out his mobile phone to dial 120, I saw this situation and hurriedly stopped, but I half pulled my body and didn't listen to the call, I fell straight back in a panic, after a loud "bang", I was surrounded by people who were whining, some were taking pictures, some were calling, some were laughing, and even the driver master threw a concerned look at me, as if asking me "Are you okay?" ”

I don't know if it was because the movement was too loud and woke up the master who was resting in the front row, or because the master and his old man's conscience found out at that moment, he stood up and walked impatiently towards me, and at that moment I seemed to see an angel.

"Master!"

The master disgusted me and pulled me up from crying snot and tears, helped me back to my seat, and apologized to the people on the car who "cared" about my situation and explained the situation.

The farce also ended as the destination approached.

Until I got out of the car, the master was disgusted and didn't want to talk to me, and even blamed me for acting hemiplegic too similar. Almost got to the police station.

I retorted unconvinced, "Isn't it because you think I'm so ashamed that you have to sit separately from me?" Otherwise, how could I be surrounded by a group of aunts and uncles and ask why I am hemiplegic. ”

"You're not going to say you're stiff neck?"

"I said, who would have thought that my enthusiastic aunt would feed me a super sour orange, I couldn't move my head and couldn't vomit, and half of my body didn't start. As a result, I accidentally scared my aunt. ”

"What do you call careless? If I hadn't been woken up, you would have been sent to the hospital for injections by now. ”

"Then take me to the orthopedics, what about the doctor you are talking about?"

"Your doctor is at the station? Are you losing your brain? ”

I don't remember villains, I'm disabled, and I'm powerless to refute.

On the way to the bones, nothing happened, but I couldn't stand the inquiring and doubtful eyes of passers-by.

When I arrived at the place, I looked at the four big characters of "Pingle Zhenggu", and then looked at the master next to me.

In the face of my questioning gaze, the master directly carried me in. While carrying it in, I was given a general introduction to "Pingle Zhenggu"

Pingle Zhenggu originated in the Jiaqing period and developed in Luoyang City, Henan Province, the 17th Guo Xiangtai of the Guo family. The core of its healing is the doctrine of qi and blood.

The academic ideas of Pingle orthopaedic are mainly applied to three aspects: fracture, dislocation and tendon injury; Pingle Orthopaedic is based on traditional Chinese medicine techniques for orthopedics, with plasters, decoctions, small splints, etc. as auxiliary treatments, with remarkable curative effect, low pain for patients, and low recurrence rate after healing.

"Wait, do you mean my stiff neck will recur?"

"When your grandfather said that he would hand you over to me, I didn't agree. How can stiff neck be decided by a human being? ”

"Oh"

Listening to the master's meaning, the foundation of TCM orthopedics should be in Pingle, so I don't have to worry about my stiff neck smelting.

Unexpectedly, in Luoyang, the ancient city with the reputation of "Thirteen Ancient Capitals", Heisei Guo's bones can be called the "Four Uniques of Luoyang" together with Longmen Grottoes, Luoyang Water Mat, and Luoyang Peony

There may be many people who are not familiar with Pingle Guo's orthopedics, but I believe that many people must have heard of a legendary story. It is said that Pingle Guo's Zhenggu was born in the Qing Dynasty and was founded by Guo Xiangtai.

Subsequent generations have adhered to the ancestral teachings and devoted themselves to the development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics and traumatology, so that the long-standing Pingle orthopedics has risen from the folk simple medical technology of smelting diseases and saving people to the Chinese orthopedic science for the benefit of mankind.

Some of them were summoned to Beijing to treat bone injuries for the relatives of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and received the imperial court's edict; Some of them were senior military generals of the Kuomintang back then; After the liberation, some of them treated Li Xiannian and other party and state leaders and were received by the public.

Guo Shuxin, the second-generation successor, founded the 24-character formula of "overall syndrome differentiation, manual rectification, bamboo fixation, internal and external medication, combination of movement and static, and functional exercise". The third-generation successor Guo Guantian entered the palace to smelt his illness, and the Empress Dowager Cixi gave him five products to wear and a plaque of "Tai Doctor B". After more than 200 years and eight generations of inheritance, Pingle orthopedics has become an important academic school in orthopedics and traumatology in China, and has a pivotal position in the field of orthopedics and traumatology of traditional Chinese medicine.

The characteristics of Pingle Guo's orthopedic treatment of orthopedic diseases are "three principles and four methods", that is, the three principles of overall syndrome differentiation, equal emphasis on muscles and bones, internal and external smelting, and four methods of smelting techniques, fixation methods, drug therapy, and functional therapy.

For drug therapy, Pingle Guo's orthopedics put forward the three-stage medication principle of "breaking, revitalizing, and replenishing", that is, in the early stage of bruises, qi and blood stasis, and the medication is mainly to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis; In the middle stage, the qi and blood are not in harmony and the meridians are blocked, and the medication is mainly to invigorate the blood and circulate the meridians; In the later stage, the long-term illness caused a loss of qi and blood, and the medication was mainly used to replenish qi and blood and strengthen muscles and bones. The principle of the third stage of medication of Pingle Guo's orthopedic orthopedics makes the drug treatment of orthopedic diseases have rules to follow, and has become the "law" and "outline" of the treatment.

No, as soon as my master and I met Dr. Jiye, we heard, "This is an old wound, and the original fracture has not completely healed." You only need to do a reduction, and you can be cured by going home and taking the medicine after applying the medicine. ”

In the clinic opened by the descendants of Pingle Guo's orthopedics, after the patient Ms. Liu heard the doctor's diagnosis, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Ms. Liu, from Anhui Province, broke her lower leg bone while riding an electric scooter a few months ago and was treated at a local hospital, but the pain has continued unabated.

"When I was re-examined, the doctor said that my bones were not healing well and that I needed surgery." After she happened to hear about Pingle Guo's orthopedics, she came to Henan with the mentality of giving it a try.

"After listening to the patients here about the efficacy of Pingle orthopedics, and also listening to the doctor's accurate judgment of my leg injury, I believe that it will be fine soon without surgery."

Listening to Ms. Liu's words, I couldn't help but be in awe of the descendants of the legendary old Mr. Guo Xiangtai, and thought to myself that since this Guo family is so powerful, wouldn't my situation be easy for him?

I had confidence at the moment, and I lay directly on the hospital bed and waited for treatment.

In the osteopathic treatment, Dr. Guo used his unique technique to massage and wander around my neck, shoulders and arms, and there was no pain in my mind, but a very comfortable and sour feeling. In short, as long as the place that has been massaged by Dr. Guo will be very relaxed and refreshing.

From Dr. Guo's casual chat with me when he was "healing", I learned that Pingle Guo has two great tricks, techniques and secret recipes.

In the view of Guo Yanjin, the seventh-generation descendant of Pingle Guo's orthopedics, Guo's diagnosis and treatment of bone injuries is self-contained, but in the process of development, it also learns from other schools and combines with advanced modern technology, so it can keep pace with the times and continue to enrich and improve.

Guo Shi theoretically emphasizes the overall differentiation of syndromes, using the eight methods of touching, connecting, ending, lifting, pushing, holding, pressing, and rubbing the bones and the ancestral eight methods of syndrome differentiation, fixing, pressing cotton, binding, pulling and stretching, laying bricks, supporting, and pushing and pressing, and using both hands to accurately diagnose and correct various fractures and dislocations, and to treat common diseases such as waist and leg pain, and difficult diseases such as old shoulder and hip dislocations.

As a traditional Chinese medicine technique, Guo's orthopaedic is simple and incorruptible, and can solve the pain of the people. I can't straighten up when I come in and walk normally when I go out, and this kind of thing is too much for me. Dr. Guo said proudly

"The trauma is small, the pain is less, the treatment course is short, and the recovery is good. I think this is why Guo's orthopedics can be trusted by the people. ”

When I asked about the inheritance of this craft, Dr. Guo told me with a smile on his face, and the pride and pride exuded from the inside out: "You don't know that in 2008, our Pingle Guo's orthopaedic method entered the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. Gao Yunfeng is also the prototype of the heroine in the hit drama "The Great Doctor".

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Yunfeng actively responded to the call of the party and the government, and took the lead in disclosing the secret recipes of "Elderberry Pill", "Zhan Tendon Dan" and "Elderberry Plaster", and copied them on red paper and posted them on the most lively commercial street in Luoyang - the Cross Street of the Old City. Since then, the secret recipe of the Guo family, which has been passed down for five generations, began to belong to the people.

Since then, more and more patients have come from all over the country, and family clinics can no longer meet the demand. In 1956, with the support of the government, the Luoyang Special Area Orthopaedic Hospital was established in Pingle Village, Mengjin County, and Pingle Orthopaedic embarked on the road of "government-run".

In September 1958, Gao Yunfeng led his son Guo Weihuai and nephews Guo Zongzheng and Guo Weixin to establish the country's first Chinese medicine orthopedic college - Henan Pingle Orthopaedic College, known as the "Huangpu Military Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics", and she was appointed as the dean. The establishment of the college marks that Pingle Guo's orthopedics, which have been taught privately in the folk family for more than 200 years, and has since entered the palace of modern medicine in national higher education.

Due to historical reasons, Henan Pingle Orthopaedic College was forced to close, but the inheritance of Pingle orthopedics has not stopped, and Guo's people have also gone to all parts of the country.

As the conversation ended, so did my treatment, I got out of bed and tried to move my body that had been paralyzed for most of the day according to Dr. Guo's instructions, carefully twisted my neck and shoulders, and found that not only did I not feel any pain, but I could move freely.

I am full of praise for the magic of Pingle Guo's orthopedics.

is like the evaluation of this treasure in the "Luoyang Fu" of the Eastern Capital Manshi: "Pingle is boneless, and the apricot forest is unique; Xiangzhuang gynecology, medical Lin Qi. ”

I finally can be alive, of course, if you want to play nearby, let's go to the Longmen Grottoes, which are as famous as Pingle Zhenggu!

After coming to the Longmen Grottoes with the master, after a long walk, I finally saw the Buddha statues carved on the mountain stones on both sides.

The Longmen Grottoes are truly one of the treasure houses of Chinese stone carving art and a world cultural heritage. It is known as the three major grottoes in China together with the Mogao Grottoes and the Yungang Grottoes in Dunhuang.

Friends who like Longmen Grottoes can come to Luoyang to visit and visit, the Longmen is dug by Dayu when smelting water, and the legend of the carp jumping over the Dragon Gate also occurs here.

Its grottoes were excavated in the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and finally ended in the Qing Dynasty. After more than 10 dynasties, it has been built for more than 1,400 years, making it the longest grotto in the world. There are 2,345 existing cave niches and more than 110,000 statues, which were painted in large quantities during construction, and most of them have faded today.

Most of the statues of Longmen Grottoes were built by royal nobles, and they are the only royal grottoes in the world.

There are mainly Wu Zetian carved according to his own appearance of the Lushena Buddha, Emperor Xiaowen for the Empress Dowager Feng to dig the Guyang Cave, Lanling King Sun in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave statue, Li Tai for the eldest grandson Empress to build Binyang South Cave, Wei Guifei chisel Jingshan Temple, Gao Lishi for Tang Xuanzong to build Amitayus Buddha and so on. In addition, it has experienced the opening of caves and statues by foreigners such as Tianzhu, Silla, Tocharo, and Kangguo, and found that there are European patterns and ancient Greek stone pillars, which can be called the grotto with the highest international level in the world.

The Longmen Grottoes have made the grotto art show a trend of sinicization, and it is a "milestone" of Chinese grotto art, which not only has an important impact on the excavation of other grottoes in China (such as the Big Buddha of the Temple of Heaven in Hong Kong), but also as far as East Asia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and other countries, such as Todaiji Temple in Nara, Japan, and Grottoes in South Korea.

Legend has it that the Longmen Mountain excavated by Dayu is where the Longmen Grottoes are now. "Water Jing Note" records: "In the past, Yu dredged the dragon gate to pass the water, the two mountains are opposite, look at it, Yishui calendar in the meantime, so it is called Yique." ”

The two mountains of Longmen are opposite, looking at it like a que, and Yishui calendar in the meantime, so it is called Yique

Before Yu chiseled Longmen, Longmen Mountain was a connected whole, not divided into east and west mountains.

Yishui accumulates in the south of Longmen Mountain, which is blocked from flowing northward, forming an ocean that often floods. Therefore, Dayu chiseled Longmen Mountain, so that Longmen Mountain was divided into east and west halves, and Yishui was able to flow north from the middle of the two mountains. Longmen Mountain can be used as the collective name of the east and west mountains, after it is divided into two halves by Yishui (Yihe), its east mountain is called "Xiangshan" after Wu Zetian built Xiangshan Temple, and the west mountain continues to be called "Longmen Mountain".

Legend has it that during that flood period, both Luoshui and Yishui were blocked, forming a large ocean, similar to a dammed lake, and of course the scale formed during that period was much larger than the dammed lake. The people were in dire straits, and many were drowning. Dayu even suffered from floods, so he led the people to dredge Luoshui first, so that it was injected into the Yellow River, and Yishui was blocked by Longmen Mountain, so the Longmen Mountain was chiseled so that Yishui and Luoshui converged into the Yellow River, thus solving the flood here.

The legend of the fish leaping over the dragon gate took place in the location of the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang. Li Bai's "Gift to Cui Shiyu": "The three-foot carp of the Yellow River, originally in Mengjinju, does not become a dragon, and returns with ordinary fish." The "Mengjin" in the poem is now a county under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, bordering the Yellow River in the north.

According to legend, after Yu opened Yique, the water flow was turbulent, the carp that swam in the Yellow River in Mengjin (now Luoyang County), went up along the water of Luo and Yi, when swimming to Yique Longmen (now Luoyang Longmen Grottoes is located), the waves were monstrous, jumped one after another, and intended to turn over. The one who jumps is a dragon, and the one who can't jump will leave a black scar on his forehead, so the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty wrote in the poem "Gift to Cui Shiyu": "The three-foot carp of the Yellow River, originally in Mengjinju, does not become a dragon, and returns with a fish." ”。

Fish jumping dragon gate, also known as carp jumping dragon gate, carp jumping dragon gate, etc. In the metaphor, promotion, and other things that are soaring. It is also a metaphor for moving forward against the current, striving for progress, career success or high status.

Although the Longmen Grottoes are not an intangible traditional cultural heritage, as a world cultural heritage, it is also worthy of our deep understanding.
