Stories about being "humble and eager to learn"! ! ! ! ! ! !

"Why is Confucius called Wenzi? He is quick and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions, so he is called Wen."

Qi Huangong asked Guan Zhong for advice on the strategy of governing the country.

Confucius asked Lao Tzu for advice on temperament.

The story of the ancients who were not ashamed to ask for a "one-character master" is often heard

The so-called "one-character master" means changing one character teacher. He changes a word in your poetry and you respect him as your teacher. This is certainly your humility, but more importantly, he is capable of just one word. In this regard, he is indeed qualified to be a teacher.

There are many anecdotes of "one-character masters" recorded in ancient Chinese books. Here are a few examples.

The "poetic monks" of the Tang and Five Dynasties wrote a poem titled "Early Plum Blossoms", in which two lines are "In the deep snow in the front village, several branches bloomed last night." After reading the poem, the poet Zheng Gu suggested that "a few branches" would not be considered "early" and it would be better to change it to "one branch". Qi already felt that what he said was reasonable and immediately worshiped him as "Yi Zi Shi". Later, many people also thought that it would be better to change "number" to "one", but Mr. Guo Moruo believed that Qi Ji wrote about early plum blossoms in line drawing without adding any exaggeration. "There is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, "it is okay to change it, but it is not a bad idea not to change it." A careful language and a respect for facts can make sense. It can be seen that different perspectives may lead to different opinions.

Sa Tianxi, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, has two poems: "The wet earth is tired of hearing the rain in Tianzhu, and the moonlight comes to listen to the Jingyang Bell." Many people praised it, but only an unknown old man smiled. Shake his head. Sa Tianxi asked for advice, and the old man said: "Although this couplet is good, the meaning of the two words 'hear' and 'listen' is repeated. 'hear' should be changed to 'see'." He also said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was an "old monk in the forest who came to see the rain." " famous sentence. Sa Tianxi immediately leaned down and kowtowed and was called the "One-Character Master". "Smell" was changed to "see", not only to avoid repetition, but also "see" is more intuitive than "smell", so it can better express the emotion of "disgust", wonderful!

When Xiao Chucai from the Song Dynasty was presiding over affairs in Liyang, an official named Zhang Guiya invited him to dinner. He saw a poem he had just finished written on Zhang's desk, which contained two lines: "I hate peace and nothing, Jiangnan leisurely kills the old minister." After pondering for a while, he took up his pen and changed "hate" to "happiness". ". When asked, he said: "You are now in a high position, and the traitor is ready to make a move but has not done anything. Today the world is unified and peaceful. You should feel lucky. Why do you only hate peace and tranquility? It is unreasonable!" Zhang Maosa suddenly said! , worshiped Xiao as the "one-character master". Changing "hate" to "luck" is completely based on reality. When the ancients used language, they first had to refine the "meaning" and then the "words". Only when the meaning is clear can the words be accurate. "Refining words" in isolation without external context and internal context is a bad idea.

There are many stories about the "one-character master" of the past. These stories tell us the principles of learning and using language from different angles. The inspiration they give us far exceeds the beauty of a word itself, and activates our thinking from a deeper level, allowing us to know "for the sake of one thing". It is not easy to "stable" the word, but if it is "stable", what a wonderful spiritual enjoyment it will be!

The meaning of yī zì shī means to correct a misreading of a word, and you can become a teacher. It also refers to the teacher who changes one or two characters in the poem. Source: Wang Dingbao of the Five Dynasties, "Tang Zha Yan·Excuse" records that Li Xiang read "Spring and Autumn", the "婼" of Shu Sunnu should be read as "Chi Luoqie", Li mistakenly read "Chi Dial Qie", the small official said, Gong Da Feeling ashamed, he "ordered the junior official to accept the gift from the north and call him 'Yi Zi Shi'". Example Sister is really a ‘one-word master’! From now on I will only call you master, not sister anymore.

★Chapter 18 of "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty

When it comes to the relationship between doctors in history, many people will think of "Saoye Village" and "Taxuezhai" "The story is said to be that Ye Tianshi and Xue Shengbai were often at odds with each other. Each made a fuss about the name of their own study, insinuating and attacking the other. It seemed that neither sweeping nor stepping on it was enough to resolve their hatred. For hundreds of years, people have joked about it.

Both Ye and Xue are doctors specializing in febrile diseases. Judging from the two doctors’ personalities and attitudes towards treating diseases, this rumor is quite doubtful.

Ye Tiantu is known for being open-minded and studious, even after he became famous. There are many stories about his open-mindedness, studiousness and shamelessness in asking questions. In order to learn knowledge, he once changed his name and became a disciple of a famous doctor named Liu; he also took great pains to disguise himself as a poor man and learn from an old monk, and only revealed his name after he had completed his studies.

His font size also reflects his medical aspirations.

His name is "Xiangyan", and there is an interesting story in between. At the same time as Ye Tianshi, there was a musician in Suzhou who had outstanding skills. In order to make a living, he went to Beijing to perform as an entertainer and earned a lot of money. After returning to Suzhou, he saw that many poor families had no food or clothing. He generously donated money and built a "Pujia Yuan" in a place called "Huqiu Mountain" to specially provide relief to the poor. His reputation soon spread throughout the countryside. In the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, Xuanye, the Holy Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, heard about this incident and wrote the plaque "Xiangyan Puji" in his own handwriting and presented it to Puji Courtyard. Ye Tiantu used the two characters "Xiangyan" as his nickname, indicating that he was determined to learn from this artist's helpful spirit.

Although Ye Tianshi is famous, he never boasts and is very humble. When treating diseases, I often ask other expert doctors for help. When I encounter a disease that I cannot cure, I am not pushy and willing to listen to the opinions of colleagues. Regarding a doctor surnamed Zhang who cured his mother's disease by chance, he praised everyone he met: Dr. Zhang's medical skills are better than mine, you can ask him to see a doctor. What I don’t understand is: Is this humble and humble Ye Tianshi just sorry for Xue Shengbai and not afraid of others laughing at him? Isn’t this incompatible with his traditional treatment attitude?

Smaller than Ye Tianshi Thirteen-year-old Xue Shengbai always admired Ye Tianshi's superb medical skills. According to the "Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles·Xue Xue Biography", it is recorded that Xue Shengbai "does good every time he sees the leaves prescribed, and it is not impossible not to hit the knot." "Since Xue admired Ye Tianshi so much in her heart, how could they turn against each other and even insult each other? Moreover, this is not in line with Xue Shengbai's personality. Xue Shengbai wrote "A Dipper of Poetry", which is very "character". I think “If you have a broad mind, your character must be high. "A person of high character must be extraordinary if he talks, laughs, or shakes." This directly links the cultivation of character with career achievements. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to moral cultivation. . Therefore, those rumors are unbelievable from any angle. However, it is these rumors that have completely wiped out the noble image of the two doctors and caused a negative impact on the traditional Chinese medicine community.

Yes, there was indeed a "sweeping of Yezhuang" in history, but its original intention was not directed at Ye Tiantu. Volume 9 of Shen Deqian's "Guiyu Wenchao" has an article "Sweeping of Yezhuang", which introduces Xue Shengbai's "sweeping of Yezhuang". The origin of the story is: "Sweeping Leaves Village" is the place where Xue Shengbai wrote the book. Because the trees there were lush and the fallen leaves blocked the paths, Xue Shengbai often called the book boy to sweep the fallen leaves on the ground, so he named it "Sweeping Leaves Village". This has one meaning; and because Xue Shengbai's annotation of "Yi" can make up for what Yu's "Yi" has left behind, it has been repeatedly revised and revised, just like sweeping away fallen leaves. This two meanings are not directed at the leaves at all. The meaning of heaven and earth. It is completely far-fetched to associate leaves with Ye Tianshi's surname.

The book describing the rumors of "Saoye Village" and "Taxuezhai" is based on Wang Youliang's "Shuang". However, some people have argued from the perspectives of medical history and literature that this article was not written by Wang Youliang himself, but was added by later generations based on rumors when compiling and publishing it. Duan's "unjust and false case" can be vindicated.

In history, there are many examples of doctors' sincerity and sincerity. The interaction between Zhu Danxi and Ge Kejiu, a famous doctor in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, is an example. There was a woman in central Zhejiang who was suffering from tuberculosis (today's tuberculosis). She was as thin as a stick and was dying. Many doctors were helpless. The patient asked Zhu Danxi for treatment with a glimmer of hope. After Danxi's careful treatment, her condition improved significantly, but the pimples on her cheeks improved significantly. The blush never goes away, Zhu Danxi said to the patient: "I can only treat it to this point. Now he needs to ask Ge Kejiu, a famous doctor in Wuxian County, to perform acupuncture treatment to achieve a complete recovery. However, it is difficult to invite this person." He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will write you a letter and take it to you, and he will definitely come. The patient was very happy and hired a boat to invite Ge Kejiu. After seeing Zhu Danxi's letter, Ge Kejiu boarded the boat. Zhu Danxi introduced the story in detail. Ge Kejiu asked Ge Kejiu to examine the woman's condition. Ge Kejiu thought that the disease was in the chest and lungs, and the remaining evil spirits should be acupunctured. So he took out the needle and acupunctured her breasts through thin clothes, and touched the patient's face. The blush on his face disappeared. Zhu Danxi carefully observed and pondered, and also learned the knowledge of acupuncture. In terms of medical skills, it takes such a broad mind for Zhu Danxi to admit his shortcomings in front of the patient! Responding to requests, this story also reflects the sincere friendship with Danxi. This story can be regarded as a rare tidbit of Chinese medicine "consultation".

Of course, due to different schools of thought and different academic opinions, it is common for doctors to have academic disputes. It can promote the development of medicine and is worth promoting, such as the academic disputes between the four great masters of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. . In addition, affected by bad feudal habits, some doctors do have some sectarian opinions, which hinder the development of traditional Chinese medicine and are not conducive to academic exchanges in traditional Chinese medicine, and should be resolutely abandoned
