Chapter Ninety-Six: The Death of Bian Que
"Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and the yin and yang do not refer to qi and blood disorders. It also pays attention to the peace and harmony of the five organs, the five organs are healthy, and the body is truly healthy. Qi and blood disorders, disharmony in the five organs, and cannot be cured. ”
"The fifth better understanding means that the medicine prescribed by the doctor to you cannot be taken on time, or you are unwilling to drink the medicine, and it is not taboo to take the medicine, and the gods and gods like this will not cure you."
"The last one, don't be too superstitious, you look like some patriarchal people, in order to conceive a male baby, drink some rune water, which is harmful to health."
"If you can't cure these six things, even if you come to a miracle doctor, you can't cure him."
"Bian Que spent his life conscientiously summing up the experience of his predecessors and the people, combined with his own medical practice, and made outstanding contributions to Chinese medicine in diagnosis, pathology, and treatment. Bian Que's medical experience occupies an important position in the history of medicine in later generations, and has a great impact on the development of medicine in China. ”
"Bian Que lived a total of ninety-eight years, which was an extremely long-lived existence at the average age of about 30 years at that time. In fact, Bian Que could have lived much longer because he was murdered and died in 310 BC. So, how did Bian Que die?"
"After leaving Linzi, Bian Que and others arrived at Daliang, the capital of Wei, in 354 BC, where he met King Wei Hui, the king of Wei, and in 350 BC they arrived at Xianyang, the capital of Qin."
In a period of time around 355 B.C., he and his disciples Ziyang, Zibao and others stayed there to practice medicine, and in about 317 B.C., they passed through Luoyang, the capital of Zhou, and heard that the local people respected the old man very much, so he was a "doctor of ears and eyes". ”
In 310 B.C., Bian Que came to Xianyang again, because the people of Xianyang love children very much, so he did "pediatric doctors", Bian Que and his disciples worked hard, traveled more than 4,000 miles, traveled around the world, helped the world to save people, they "changed with the custom", and became a very comprehensive "general practitioner" in medicine, medicine and technology. ”
"In this way, the reputation of Bian Que and his party is getting bigger and bigger, when King Qin Wu and the warriors held a competition to lift the crown, they accidentally injured their waist, the pain was unbearable, and they took the medicine of the imperial doctor Li Li, but it did not get better, and it became more serious."
"Someone told King Wu that the divine doctor Bian Que had come to the Qin State, and King Wu ordered Bian Que to enter the palace. Bian Que saw King Wu's demeanor, pressed his pulse, pushed his waist a few times, and let King Wu move a few times on his own, and King Wu immediately felt much better. Then he gave King Wu another dose of decoction, and his symptoms disappeared completely. ”
"King Wu of Qin is very grateful to Bian Que for curing his back injury, and wants to seal Bian Que as the imperial physician of the Qin State."
After hearing the news, Li Li, the original imperial doctor, was very annoyed, he felt that Bian Que had robbed him of his official position, and in order to protect his official position, he tried his best to obstruct it in front of King Wu, saying that Bian Que was just a "reckless doctor", King Wu was skeptical, but did not dispel the idea of reusing Bian Que. ”
After finding that it was useless, Li Li came up with a poisonous plan, Li Li decided to get rid of Bian Que's henchman, and sent two assassins to assassinate Bian Que, but was discovered by Bian Que's disciples and temporarily escaped. Bian Que had no choice but to leave the Qin State, and they walked along the path north of Lishan, and Li Li sent killers to disguise themselves as hunters and rob and kill Bian Que halfway. ”
"In this way, because Bian Que cured the monarch of Qin, he was jealous of Li Li, the imperial physician of Qin, and was killed by Li Li, and a generation of famous doctors died like this."
Cao Cao: The ability is not good, but the poison plan is good!
Hua Tuo: Just because of this kind of doctor, if he doesn't do anything, he has to slander doctors who are better than himself, so that some good doctors can only be incognito and quack doctors are in charge!
Li Shimin: It is really sad that a dignified miracle doctor died because of his excellent medical skills! Amusing!
"Who would have thought that he would die because of his high medical skills, Bian Que not only showed a high level of diagnosis and treatment in his medical career, but also showed noble medical ethics."
"He was modest and discreet, and he never took credit for it. For example, after he cured Prince Qiu's corpse, Yu Jun was very grateful, and everyone praised him for his ability to bring the dead back to life, but Bian Que said truthfully, this is because the patient is not dead, I can just make him eliminate his serious illness and return to his original state, and I do not have the ability to "bring the dead back to life". ”
"Bian Que also attaches great importance to the prevention of diseases, judging from the case of Qi Huanhou, the reason why he has repeatedly persuaded early treatment is that he has the idea of preventing diseases before they occur."
He once pointed out with great feeling that there are many types of diseases that objectively exist, but doctors suffer from too few ways to treat them. Therefore, he pays great attention to disease prevention. ”
"Now doctors who generally prescribe treatment and medicine will worship Zhang Zhongjing as a medical saint, those who engage in traditional Chinese medicine will worship Li Shizhen as a medicine saint, and Sun Simiao as the king of medicine. I think this seat has to be Bian Que. ”
"It is said that one day in a certain year and month, Bian Que and others happened to arrive in the Kingdom of Qiu, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they happened to catch up with the violent death of the prince of the Kingdom of Qiu.
Through observation, Bian Que found that the "cause of death" of the prince of the Kingdom of Qiu was: the blood and qi could not run on time, the blood and qi were confused with each other, and they could not be discharged, and he suddenly fainted and died. ”
"I also learned that the prince has just been dead for half a day, and he has not yet been buried, if the burial is collected, the coffin will be covered, and the person will be suffocated if he is not dead, and the gods will not be able to save him, this is the right time."
Bian Que's ability to grasp the opportunity was very good, and he immediately let people inform the king of the kingdom of Qiu, Bian Que knew that when the king was grieving the loss of his son, it was useless to say anything else, just one sentence: "I can save the prince!" "The most shocking thing is that he only asked the king to inform him of this sentence, and the king of the Kingdom of Yu immediately went to the gate of the palace to greet Bian Que in person."
Subsequently, Bian Que diagnosed the prince of the Kingdom of Yu with "necrophyrcosis", and then asked his disciple Ziyang to "sharpen the needle" and "take the outer three yang and five meetings". ”
After a while, the prince woke up. The "needle" here is acupuncture, and the "stone" is the stone therapy, that is, the gua sha therapy. The treatment site is "Outer Three Yang Five Meetings". ”
The reason for the illness of the prince of the Kingdom of Yu is that "the blood and qi cannot run on time, and the blood and qi cannot be discharged from each other", and the meridians are the channels for running the blood and qi, and the meridians and blood are not passed, and the yang qi cannot be accessed is the "root" of this disease! ”
Bian Que used a needle to puncture the Baihui acupoint, plus a stone scraping on the Du pulse and bladder meridian, which cured the "corpse syncope" of the prince of the kingdom. ”
