Chapter 008: One Yin and One Yang is the Tao
After bidding farewell to Huang Yaoshi, the two quickly returned to Li Yu's consultation room again.
The previous patient had just walked out of the room.
"Teacher Li, this medicine is really amazing!" As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Jing couldn't help but say excitedly.
Li Yu still looked calm, and asked lightly: "Has the body temperature dropped yet?" ”
This time, without waiting for Zhang Jing to speak, the female patient rushed to say: "Yes, yes, Director Li, not only is there no fever, but my whole body is no longer painful, I feel that my illness is all cured at once." What a miracle healer! ”
"This lady, don't put a hat on me, I'm not a miracle doctor, and I'm not a director yet, just call me Dr. Li." Li Yu waved his hand again and again, with a humble expression.
Compared with the confidence when I saw the doctor before, it was like two people.
When Zhang Jing saw it, his admiration was even greater than before.
I can't help but secretly admire: self-confidence but not arrogance, self-humility but not inferiority. This is what a great doctor should look like!
"Mr. Li, the main reason why the patient came up is to ask you, do you need to prescribe some more conditioning prescriptions, and go back and drink again?"
"No, judging from the pulse, the patient's normal physique is better, and this time it should be a serious flu before he suffers from the disease."
Then, he turned his head to the female patient and said, "In this case, you go back and change your sweaty clothes first, and then, eat a lighter diet these days, and after a few days, your body will be completely restored." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, Lord Li...... Ah no, thank you Dr. Lee, thank you, thank you! ”
Shortly after the female patient left, the next patient arrived.
Zhang Jing is still writing medical records and copying prescriptions.
Occasionally answer Li Yu's questions.
Although he can basically say the answer Li Yu wants, Zhang Jing knows very well in his heart that Li Yu's points are indispensable here.
If he is allowed to face the patient directly at this time and sit independently, there is still a chance that he will be blind.
In fact, this is also normal, and clinical syndrome differentiation is not an easy thing to do.
In particular, most of the patients who come to the Chinese Medical Center for treatment are incurable diseases that have not been cured for a long time.
According to the conventional method of dialectics recorded in the books, it will not work at all.
Zhang Jing specially inquired and learned that all the clinics of the National Medical Hall adopted the appointment mode.
However, the number of limited numbers for each doctor is different, and Li Yu has a daily limit of 32 people, that is, 16 people are arranged to see a doctor in the morning, and one person is seen every 15 minutes.
Zhang Jing has learned that many traditional Chinese medicine clinics or outpatient departments also have limited numbers, but most of them are just for "hunger marketing", creating a false and hot scene that is difficult to find.
Li Yu is obviously different, he limits the number to ensure that each patient gets more time to see a doctor, and he is completely responsible for the patient.
Because economic benefits will never be the most important option for a real Chinese medicine, the efficacy is.
After a morning of observation, Zhang Jing also found a somewhat strange phenomenon. Unlike the generally good TCM outpatient clinics, Li Yu has very few follow-up patients.
In fact, if you think about it, this is also very easy to explain.
A relatively good level of traditional Chinese medicine will naturally not be too bad, but the course of treatment is relatively long. In this way, there will naturally be more repeat customers.
But a master of Li Yu's level usually only needs to see a doctor once, and three or two pairs of drugs or even just one dose can solve the problem, so why do you need to come for a follow-up visit?
At noon, when they were eating together in the outpatient cafeteria, Zhang Jing remembered the problems that had not been discussed before.
So he continued to consult Li Yu: "Teacher Li, you said before that everything can be divided into yin and yang, so there is yin and yang in the evidence, yin and yang in the pulse, and yin and yang in medicine. Among them, in terms of pulses, there are floating large slippery numbers and the like, all of which are yang; Shen is subtle and astringent, and the like, all of which are yin. So, when diagnosing the pulse, how to distinguish yin and yang between the left and right? ”
"Xiao Zhang, you asked this question well. Su Wen. Yin and Yang should be like the Great Treatise "There are clouds: those who are left and right, the path of yin and yang. Let's talk about it first, how do you understand this sentence? Li Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked rhetorically.
"The ancients stood facing south, and the left and right corresponded to the east and west, respectively, with the east being where the sun rises and the west where the sun sets. Therefore the left lord ascends, and the right lord descends. The primordial yin and yang refer to the backward direction of the sun. Here the sun is the yang, and its rise in the east and setting in the west has a trajectory, which is called the road. Therefore, the left and right are the path of yin and yang. ”
"Not bad!" Li Yu bowed slightly, and then said, "Now, think about the question you just asked." ”
Zhang Jing was still pondering, but Li Simeng on the side suddenly replied: "You still need to think about it, of course it is the left yang and the right yin, because it rises to yang, and yang energy originally represents the upward growth qi." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Yu scolded softly: "Simeng, don't make trouble!" ”
"Why is it just making trouble, he can't say it himself, and he doesn't allow others to answer, I think the master is biased. This time, I don't believe he could give a different answer. Li Simeng said with a face full of grievances.
Zhang Jing didn't pay attention to her at all, but continued to ponder this seemingly simple question. Because, he remembers very clearly, until now, there has been controversy in the Chinese medicine community about whether it is left yin and right yang or left yang and right yin.
After a long time, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Mr. Li, I seem to understand a little. That is, it is not left yin and right yang, nor is it left yang and right yin. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which only describes the trajectory of yang energy. It reflects the natural phenomenon of rising from the left until the noon is at its highest point at noon, when the yang energy is at its highest, and then begins to descend to the right until the sunset. ”
Hearing these words, Li Simeng was covered in clouds and mountains, and his face was confused.
Li Yu couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Zhang, your understanding is really good!" The road is simple, the Tao is the origin of all things in the universe, the Tao gives birth to one, and the life is two, which is the way of yin and yang. Therefore, everything is inseparable from yin and yang. The understanding you have just made has already begun to touch on the essence of the Yin and Yang Doctrine. ”
Zhang Jing scratched his head, not because he was praised, but because a big question mark appeared in his mind.
The theory of yin and yang is the soul of Chinese medicine.
However, yin and yang are famous and intangible, neither visible nor touchable, and are often criticized by Western medicine.
Because in the eyes of the layman, the word yin and yang is mysterious.
Of course, there are also a considerable number of so-called industry insiders who have not read Chinese medicine at all.
"Let me ask you, since you know that the sun is three yangs, yang is two yangs, less yang is one yang, too yin is three yin, less yin is two yin, and yin is one yin. So how to use the three-yin and three-yang system to describe the day-night changes throughout the day? Li Yu smiled and inspired him.
Zhang Jing fell into deep thought again.
Li Simeng endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and raised his hand to signal: "Master, I know this." ”
"Okay, Simeng, you talk about it first."
"3-5 o'clock corresponds to the hand Taiyin lung meridian, 5-7 o'clock corresponds to the hand yin and yang large intestine meridian, 7-9 o'clock corresponds to the foot yin and yang stomach meridian, and 9-11 o'clock corresponds to the foot Taiyin and spleen meridian."
"11-13 o'clock at noon corresponds to the hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, 13-15 o'clock does not correspond to the Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian, 15-17 o'clock Shen corresponds to the Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, and 17-19 o'clock unitary time corresponds to the Foot Shaoyin and Kidney Meridian."
"At 19-21 o'clock, it corresponds to the hand syncope yin pericardial meridian, at 21-3 o'clock, it corresponds to the hand shaoyang sanjiao meridian, at 23-1 point, it corresponds to the foot shaoyang gallbladder meridian, and at 1-3 o'clock ugly, it corresponds to the foot syncope yin and liver meridian."
After reciting all the meridian flow notes in one go, Li Simeng was already panting slightly, and then said to Zhang Jing in a slightly provocative tone: "Senior brother, help find faults." ”
Zhang Jing didn't care at all, but shook his head gently: "No, I think it shouldn't be right." ”
"Isn't that right?" Li Simeng frowned, and her face was full of doubts: "I am familiar with the meridian flow, how can I make a mistake?" ”
"It's not that you're reciting it wrong, it's that Zishi corresponds to the Shaoyang Sutra, I don't think it's right."
"Then tell me what scripture should correspond?" Li Simeng asked angrily.
"The child is the time when the yang is born, and the cathode is the time when the yin energy is the heaviest in the day, and it is also the time when the yang energy begins to grow in the middle of the day. Although Shaoyang is weak, it is yang after all. Therefore, the two are clearly incompatible. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yu said two good words in a row.
"Xiao Zhang, you are very good at thinking. Now, I can give you a key to unlock the mystery of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever. ”
Decryption key?
When Zhang Jing heard this, he immediately looked forward to it!
"Treatise on Typhoid Fever", as the ancestor of prescription books, the first of syndrome differentiation and treatment, has been respected by doctors of all dynasties.
The influence of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing in the field of traditional Chinese medicine is extremely far-reaching, such as Wang Shuhe in the Jin Dynasty, Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Wansu, Zhang Congzheng, Li Gao, Zhu Danxi in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Ye Tianshi, Wu Jutong and other doctors in the Qing Dynasty. All of them are convinced of Zhongjing's theory first, and then they have made achievements.
Therefore, for more than 1,000 years, the Chinese medicine community has been trying to study the mystery of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever".
In other words, they all want to get the key to deciphering the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever".
So, what will be the key that Li Yu is talking about?
