Chapter 370: The custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice

"There are still many theories about where Bian Que was from, what era he lived in, and how many years he lived."

"Let's first look at the events related to Bian Que recorded in the history books, Bian Que's earliest appearance was to see Cai Huangong, which was in 695 BC, and to treat Prince Yu in 655 BC. There was a gap of forty years. ”

"Generally speaking, a doctor has become famous for a long time, let's count it as thirty years old, and by 655 BC, Bian Que will be seventy years old."

"But there is still his appearance in the back, this appearance, many years apart, when he treated Qi Huangong, it was between 385 and 357 BC, let's count it according to 385 years, and there was a gap of 310 years when he first appeared."

"Look further, it is recorded in the Warring States Policy that Bian Que saw Qin Wugong, about 309 BC, and this was the last patient he saw."

"As for where Bian Que has seen Qin Wugong go, whether he has passed away, this is unknown, let's count it according to this year, there is a gap of 386 years in between, almost four hundred years."

"Can humans live that long?"

When the words were asked, many people began to shake their heads.

Sanssouci also shook his head: "Obviously impossible. ”

"So who is Bian Que? There is a saying that Bian Que is not a person, but a type of person, who may have a teacher, and all the doctors with excellent medical skills from this division are called Bian Que. ”

"This can explain why he has been recorded for more than 300 years."

"Of course, there is also a saying that Bian Que's surname is Qin Mingyueren, he practiced medicine everywhere among the people, cured many people, and was very respected, and people used legendary characters with superb medical skills to honor him."

"Then let's take a look at Bian Que's achievements in medicine."

He is proficient in internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, otolaryngology, etc., and it is said that he created the four major diagnosis methods of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting. When he was in Handan, he treated many women, the elderly in Luoyang, and when he arrived in Xianyang, he treated children. ”

"Bian Que also attaches great importance to prevention, and he believes that as long as measures are taken in advance to eliminate diseases at the initial stage, they can be completely cured."

"It can be said that he has played a role in inheriting the past and the future of medicine, and his doctrine has also had a far-reaching impact, and he can be called a medical master like a medical ancestor."

For Bian Que, people in all dynasties and dynasties know it, so when he talked about him without worry, he didn't explain it in too much detail, but he brought it very lightly.

After Bian Que finished speaking, she opened another piece of information.

"The one we're talking about next is the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing."

Under the canopy

Many people were surprised: "What, Healer? ”

Those who can be called holy must have made great achievements in this field, and can almost be said to be otherworldly.

Nanyang, Eastern Han Dynasty

The Zhang family in Nieyang County is naturally also looking at the sky.

Hearing that the medical saint was mentioned, the Zhang family was still sighing: "The surname is Zhang, it's from our Zhang family, but I don't know which dynasty it is?" ”

"Could it be someone from our family?"

"Think about it differently, how is it possible?"

"How could it not be? Didn't our family Ah Ji worship the master to learn medical skills, maybe he will become a miracle doctor. ”

"To be a good doctor, you don't necessarily become a medical saint, that is a person who can be called a saint, and there is only one person in thousands of years......"

The Zhang family is still discussing, and Worry-Free has already been introduced.

"Zhang Zhongjing's famous machine, the word Zhongjing, is a native of Yangne County, Nanyang, Eastern Han Dynasty."

The Zhang family couldn't sit still when they heard this, and stood up one by one.

"It's our family, and the medical saint is from our family."

The neighbors around his house couldn't sit still and came to visit him with things.

The Zhang family is going to be a doctor in the future, so it is necessary to have a good relationship as soon as possible.

This person lives for a lifetime, who can guarantee that he will not get sick, and if he is sick, he must not ask for a doctor, now that there is a miracle doctor in front of him, who dares not to build a good relationship.

The Zhang family puffed up their chests and were very proud in their hearts.

The medical saint is actually from their family, and I am really proud to think about it.

"There are naturally a lot of stories about Zhang Zhongjing. In modern times, we call traditional Chinese medicine a sitting doctor, and the word sitting in the hall comes from Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing was too punctual in Changsha, when the epidemic was epidemic, and many poor people came to seek medical treatment. After Zhang Zhongjing finished handling official business, he treated the people in his own home or in the back hall, but there were more and more people, so he couldn't take it, so he simply moved the clinic to the lobby and openly sat in the hall for treatment, setting a precedent for famous doctors to sit in the lobby. Since his time, later generations have called Chinese medicine doctors as sitting doctors. ”

"In addition to sitting in the hall, our custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice also comes from Zhang Zhongjing."

"What's going on?"

According to legend, when Zhang Zhongjing was an official in Changsha, he was catching up with the winter of that year when it was very cold, the weather was freezing and the snow was falling. When he returned to his hometown in Nanyang, he began to devote himself to research and developed a dietary prescription to keep out the cold, called Dispelling Cold Jiao'er Soup. ”

"This cold dispelling Jiao'er soup is to put mutton and some cold-dispelling medicines in a pot to cook, take it out and chop it when it is cooked, wrap it in the shape of an ear with dough, and then put it in the pot and cook it with the original soup."

"He asked his apprentice to set up a shed in a vacant lot in Dongguan, Nanyang, and treated everyone in the shed.

"Zhang Zhongjing was seriously ill, he knew that he was sick for a short time, and the people who came to visit him in Changsha said that there was a place in Changsha with good feng shui, which could be used as a burial place for Zhang Zhongjing after a hundred years, but the people of Nanyang stopped doing it, and felt that Nanyang was Zhang Zhongjing's hometown, and he should be buried in Nanyang."

"Zhang Zhongjing carried the coffin from Nanyang to Changsha after his death, and buried it where the rope carrying the coffin broke."

"When he died, it was the winter solstice, and when the funeral procession walked to the place where he gave up the cold and delicate ear soup, the rope broke, and everyone buried him there according to Zhang Zhongjing's instructions. Later, the temple was also built, which is the medical shrine of later generations. ”

"In order to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing in later generations, there was the custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice, and it was said that eating dumplings on the winter solstice would not freeze the ears, until many, many years later, few people ate the cold Jiao'er soup, but when it came to the winter solstice, everyone had to eat a meal of dumplings."

Worry-free talked about this, and suddenly I wanted to eat dumplings.

She got up and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, took out a little frozen dumplings and cooked them.

Hundreds of millions of fans were a little stunned when they saw that they were carefree and left.

"What did the fairy do?"

"I don't know."

"What's the matter?"

Waiting until Wuwu appeared with a plate of dumplings and a head of sugar garlic in her hand, she sat down and ate a dumpling first, and then took a bite of garlic: "Well, this is a three-fresh filling, it's delicious." ”

She picked up the dumplings again, and the dumplings were opened, and the filling inside was exposed, and the elastic meat particles formed a ball, and the juice in the dough flowed onto the plate, dipping the whole dumpling in it, plus some red chili oil on the plate......

Grunt, I don't know how many people's stomachs began to growl.
