Amazing acupuncture, should we send a banner to the doctor?

The ancients said that doctors have the heart of parents, and medicine is a benevolent art. Famous doctors in ancient times used their superb medical skills to help the world, cure diseases and save people. Their merits are immeasurable, but what they ask for is often very little. As the saying goes, "I wish there would be fewer patients in the world, why worry about putting medicine on the shelf to produce dust?" This is such a broad mind, and it is always worth learning from.

Xuan Hu Ji Shi Shi Xuan Hu Ji Shi is an ancient saying praising doctors for saving people from illness. "Xuanhu" is a special term for the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. It is cited in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "The Legend of Immortals" and is related to the Taoist doctor Hu Gong. The word "pot" is suspected to be derived from the words "gourd" and "hu", which have the same pronunciation. In later generations, some pharmacies used gourds as their guise, and some pharmaceutical factories used gourds as their trademarks. There was also a saying that "you don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourds." Doctors are benevolent and use their medical skills to help all living beings. People in the world call them "Xuan Hu" to help the world. Its classic origin comes from this.

Volume 82 of "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" "Biography of Fang Shu" says: "Fei Changfang was from Runan (now southwest of Shangcai, Henan), and he was once a market leader. There was an old man selling medicine in the market. He hung a pot at the head of the shop, and when he came to the market, he often jumped into the pot. No one in the market saw him, but he saw it from the upper floor of the chief's house. The god said, "I will come tomorrow. I will go to the old man again on the first day of the morning. He and I will go into the pot together. I can only see the beautiful jade hall, where the wine and delicious food are flowing, and the old man comes out after drinking." He refused to listen to what he said, so he went up to the Marquis's room and said, "I am a divine person who takes responsibility for my mistakes. Now I have to leave. How can I go with you? There is a little wine downstairs to say goodbye to you..." …The eldest son then wanted to seek the Tao and followed him into the mountains. The old man spoke to him and said, “You can teach me, and you can cure all kinds of diseases.”

This rather miraculous account is also found in the "Hu Gong Biography", Volume 9 of "The Legend of Immortals", which states that "The name of Hu Gong is unknown. All "summoning army talismans" and "summoning ghosts and gods" in this world are All the more than 20 volumes of "Prince's Mansion Talisman for Curing Diseases" are from Hu Gong..." Legend has it that there was a Hu Gong (around the 2nd century AD). His name is unknown, but he was called Hu Gong. "It is said that Hu Gong Xie Yuan, a native of Liyang, sells medicine in the market. The price is the same, and all diseases will be cured. The speaker said: If you take this medicine, you will vomit something, and it will be cured on a certain day. Everything will be cured. Collect money every day Tens of thousands are given to the poor, hungry and cold people in the city. "Ode to the Small Garden" in Volume 1 of "Yu Zishan Collection" by Yu Xin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty says: "If you are on a branch, the father of the nest will have a place to nest; if you are in a pot," On a branch, the father of the nest has a place to nest; in a pot, the father of the pot has a place to live." "Shui Jing Zhu" Volume 21 "Rushui" says that "the father of the pot has a surname of king". "Three-hole Bead Bag" It is called "Hu Gong Xie Yuan, selling fairy medicine"

Hu Gong was an old man who sold medicine in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had Taoism and was good at using talismans to cure diseases. Medicines are of "no price" and "all diseases will be cured", so later generations called the practice of medicine "Xuan Hu". From this point of view, Hu Weng was a hermit doctor who had medical skills and was willing to do good. A pot is a symbol of medicine, so it is called Hu Weng. There are many myths and stories about Hu Weng who once taught Fei Changfang his medical skills. Changfang was a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The deeds of Hu Gong were widely spread. Doctors in the past dynasties almost all celebrated their openings with "Happy Pot" or hanging gourds in the clinic as a sign of medicine. There are still many pharmacies today. , pharmaceutical factories, etc. This allusion is widely circulated, and people still use the colloquial expression "What kind of medicine do you sell in Hulu?"

There is also the word "Hutian". The word "huzhong" is synonymous with Taoist fairyland. "Huzhong heaven and earth" used to refer to the Taoist leisurely and quiet inaction life. Tang Dynasty Li Bai's "Returning to Shimen's Old Residence": "When you take off your clothes, there is something special in the pot." Sun, moon and day. "Li Zhong of the Tang Dynasty" "Gift to the One Who Chong'an Ji Dao": "The sun and moon are close to the heart in the pot, and the haze outside the island enters the dream." "No matter how people trace the life experience of Hu Gong, he has not lost his fairy characteristics. The Hu Zhong and Hu Tian where Hu Gong lives have the sun, moon and sky above, and towers and towers below. This fairy world that simulates reality is full of Cultivated in a pot, the belief in gods began to invent a paradise where gods live. This paradise can free human beings from the shackles of birth, aging and illness, and gain the guarantee of eternal life and all-round enjoyment. . The belief in gods spread throughout the cultural circles of China, Chu, and Yue in the pre-Qin period, so alchemists from various places invented many fairy paradises, among which the legends of Kunlun Mountain in the west and Sanshen Mountain in the east were most influential.

Famous doctors in ancient times discussed "Medical Ethics"

⑴ In order to practice medicine, you should not laugh too much, talk and make noise, talk about right and wrong, talk about people, show off your reputation, slander other doctors, and be proud of yourself. Virtue.

Occasionally treating a disease like scabies, the patient will hold his head high and his face covered with a self-respecting appearance, which is said to be unparalleled in the world. (Sun Simao on the Sincerity of Great Physicians)

⑵ Anyone who is a doctor must be gentle in nature, humble in ambition, polite in action, gentle in action, without arrogance, and must not be pretentious. (General micro-discussion on pediatric health)

⑶ After repeated use and repeated testing, you will gain something. Do not usurp the collection to repay heaven and earth, and make it public to everyone. This is also bullying. If you bully, the good days will be blocked. However, medical knowledge will eventually be lost; if one does not deceive, conscience will develop day by day, and medical knowledge will become more prosperous. (Introduction to Li Ting’s Medicine)

⑷There are some people who have no practice in our way. They only praise their own strengths and criticize others’ shortcomings. Whenever he comes to a patient's home, he does not ask about the disease, but only destroys the faults of the previous doctors in order to frighten the patients. If the previous doctors have used all the medicines, why ask for them again? If it is just temporary or biased and failed to work, how can we generalize the previous doctors? The medicine is mediocre. (Gong Tingxian is rejuvenated after all illnesses)

⑸Anyone who shares the same path in Xiangjing should not be arrogant and arrogant, but must be humble and prudent, and respect those who are young and respected. There are scholars who learn from them, and those who are proud are humble. Those who are less than qualified are recommended to be transferred. (Five Precepts and Ten Essentials of Physician Chen Shigong)

⑹ Therefore, it is not allowed to be a doctor without talent, learning, and knowledge, and it is also not allowed to rely on talent, learning, and knowledge for medical treatment. You must be calm to observe it, and respond to it with an open mind, just like your husband. (Preface to the Record of Rejuvenation)

⑺Doctors make mistakes and insist on recognizing the disease. They do not recognize the disease when the disease is unknown. They humbly abdicate to make way for the talented and save the lives of others. Doctors make mistakes, do not restrain themselves, and become unhappy when people open their mouths. How can they be able to talk to others, let alone talk to others about the truth? (Cheng Zhongling’s medical insights)

The medical ethics and skills of famous doctors in ancient times. According to the "History of Chinese Medicine", famous doctors have emerged in large numbers throughout the ages in our country. They not only have superb medical skills, but also have noble medical ethics and medical style. Every line of work can be used for our reference and imitation. An example is introduced below.

1. Study technology and strive for excellence.

Xu Chunpu, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Medicine values ????precision, and if it is not refined, it will harm people a lot (not shallow)." Looking at the accomplished medical scientists in our country in the past dynasties, they all have the word "precision". A lot of hard work. They worked diligently and diligently throughout their lives, persevered, and kept improving. Finally, they achieved brilliant academic achievements and won the infinite admiration of future generations. For example, Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty studied medicine from Uncle Zhang when he was young. Because he was diligent and studious, his medical skills were "better than those of his uncle". He was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when wars were frequent and epidemics were prevalent, and people were devastated. Two-thirds of his family of more than 200 people died of illness in less than 10 years. Seeing this tragic situation, he "diligently sought ancient teachings and learned from many prescriptions", carefully studied classical medical books, combined with his own clinical experience, summarized and improved, and wrote 16 volumes of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", establishing the program of "syndrome differentiation and treatment". It became a classic in Chinese medical books, and he was revered as the "Medical Sage" by later generations. Another example is Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty, who was often sick when he was young. He has been passionate about medicine since he was a teenager. He lived for more than a hundred years, refused many invitations from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and practiced medicine among the people for a long time. Throughout his life, he "extremely learned about medicine and worked tirelessly". In his seventies, he compiled 30 volumes of "Qian Jin Yao Prescription". . Thirty years later, he was already a hundred years old. Regardless of his old age, he still feared that the pearl would be left in the ocean, so he continued to search and improve, and compiled 30 volumes of "Qianjin Yifang" to complement "Qianjin Yaofang". Collectively known as "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", it is an immortal medical masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. He was respected as the "King of Medicine" by future generations. Another example is Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, a third-generation medical practitioner with a well-established family background, erudite knowledge and a passion for medicine. He once introduced himself: "He was often sick when he was young... He spent a lot of time reading classics, eating cane syrup, and then fished and hunted for hundreds of books. Shi." He took pleasure in learning, and reading was as sweet as eating sugar cane candy. In view of the many errors and omissions in the previous herbal books, he determined to write a new herbal book. Beginning at the age of 34, "with 30 calendar years, more than 800 books and references, and 3 drafts", he finally compiled the world-famous pharmaceutical masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica" at the age of 60. Guo Moruo called it "Medicine" The sage, embodies the great achievements of Chinese medicine."

2. Treat patients seriously and responsibly.

Medicine is a benevolent skill, caring for the world, responding to patients' requests, treating illnesses and saving lives, and being serious and responsible. This is the fine tradition of famous doctors in our country throughout the ages. Doctors must show meticulous care, consideration and love to any patient, treating them as family members. Sun Simiao said in the article "The Great Doctor's Sincerity": "Whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and calm his mind, have no desires or demands, first have a heart of great compassion and compassion, and vow to save the suffering of all souls. If anyone comes to seek help in case of illness, No matter whether they are rich or poor, whether they are old or young, they are beautiful, they are friendly and friendly, they are Chinese and barbarian, they are stupid and wise, and they are all the same, they are all just like the thoughts of a close relative. "Doctors also need to worry about the patient's needs and will go there if requested.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Danxi's medical reputation was very famous. "Everyone greeted him with illness every day. The teacher always went there immediately. Even though it rained and snowed on the road, it didn't stop. When a servant complained about pain, the teacher explained it by saying: The patient's life is like a year. But you want to be free. "When encountering critical patients, we must actively rescue them. For example, Bian Que (a native of Qin and Yue), a famous doctor during the Warring States Period, was a folk doctor who traveled around the country. One day, he passed by the Guo Kingdom and encountered the Prince of Guo who suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. After being awake for half a day, all the doctors were helpless. Guojun asked Bian Que to take a look. After a detailed and careful examination, Bianque said to Guojun: "If the prince is the so-called 'corpse body', the prince is not." The students underwent external acupuncture and meteorite treatment, and took internal decoctions. After rescue, they finally turned the corner. In treating diseases, traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the overall situation and emphasizes syndrome differentiation. In clinical practice, doctors must use the four diagnostic methods of inspection, smelling, hearing, questioning, and incision. In the Qing Dynasty, Yu Jiayan advocated "discussing the disease first, then applying medicine" and established "agreeing on the disease pattern with the disciples", fully Reflect a high sense of responsibility for patients. Zhang Zhongjing severely criticized some quack doctors who were careless and perfunctory in his "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases: Preface". He said: "The doctors who look at today's medicine do not think about the meaning of the scriptures and act out what they know. Everyone inherits the family's skills and always follows the old tradition. To avoid illness and ask questions, it is important to give them through mouth. When you are facing each other, you can use decoction and medicine. , less than fifty. The final diagnosis is unknown in the short term, and there is no sign of it in the nine months. It is just a peek, and it is really difficult for me to look at other people!"

3. Heart. Live to help the world without seeking reward.

Relieving the poor and providing medical services and donating medicines are also fine traditions of famous doctors in our country throughout the ages. For example, Dong Feng, a famous doctor during the Three Kingdoms period, was originally from Fujian and lived in Lushan. He was a folk doctor with superb medical skills and noble medical ethics. 5 trees were planted, and 1 was planted for those with mild disease as a reward. A few years later, more than 100,000 apricot trees were planted and the trees became lush. When apricots are ripe, they are easy to eat, so they can be used to help poor patients. In later generations, "the apricot forest is warm in spring" and "the apricot forest is full of reputation", which has been passed down as a medical legend. Another example is Shen Yingshan, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, who was born in Xinjian, Jiangxi. He was skilled in medical skills and had a benevolent heart. When there was an epidemic, he purchased and stored medicines and built a house next to his house to take in patients. He did not charge any medical expenses or food expenses. Treat patients without rejecting them, "as soon as they come, make them safe", because they are ordered to "come to the hall". Another example is the famous doctor Zhang Mingzheng of the Qing Dynasty, who was born in Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province. He once worked in the Imperial Hospital and later returned to his hometown to start a business. On the way, he met a poor and unknown man suffering from severe dysentery. He treated him with pity and sent his servant to his home to take medicine for treatment. After Yu recovered, he was still sent home without asking for his name or address before leaving. People at the time praised him for "seeing the world as one family and saving passers-by as if they were his own flesh and blood." Medical skills are benevolent skills, and the purpose of studying medicine is to cure diseases and save people, not to make money. Li Dongyuan took Luo Tianyi as his disciple in his later years. The first thing he said when they met for the first time was to ask him: "You came to study medicine to make money and heal people, or to preach and heal people." That is to say, did you come to study medicine for the purpose of making money or profit? In order to preach the truth and benefit the world, Tianyi replied, "I also preach the truth", in order to preach the truth and benefit the world. He was immediately accepted as his disciple, and later Luo became a famous doctor. It can be seen that famous doctors in ancient my country had very strict requirements on students' motivation and moral character for studying medicine.

4. Respect teachers and ask for advice humbly.

Most of the famous doctors in the past dynasties of our country were born in the "disciple". For example, Bian Que worshiped Chang Sangjun as his teacher, Cang Gong (Chun Yuyi) worshiped Gong Chengyang Qing as his teacher, and Zhang Zhongjing worshiped Zhang Bozu as his teacher. Wait, they respected their teachers, learned from them humbly, and finally "accomplished the teachings" and even achieved more than their teachers. During the Jin Dynasty, Li Dongyuan had a wealthy family and loved medicine. When he heard that Zhang Yuanyu had a medical name, he donated a large sum of money to learn from him. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Danxi and Mu Wulin (Hangzhou) Luo Zhiti was good at medicine and went back and forth more than ten times. "The sun stood at his door, and it was not easy in strong winds and rains." Luo was deeply moved and taught him all the medical skills. Later he also became One of the "Four Great Masters of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties". In the Qing Dynasty, Ye Tianshi was open-minded and eager to learn. He heard that someone was good at curing a certain disease, so he went to visit and seek advice. He visited 17 famous teachers in succession. He was able to learn from the strengths of each school and later became a famous expert. He especially made the greatest contribution to the study of febrile diseases. One of the four major febrile disease experts in the Qing Dynasty. There are many examples above, so I won’t list them here.

Fragments of the medical ethics of famous doctors in ancient China. The noble medical ethics of famous doctors in ancient my country have been passed down as legends and passed down through the ages, becoming a model for the medical community.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Dong Feng, a famous doctor in the State of Wu, treated diseases for free and only asked the cured patients to plant a few apricot trees around his residence. A few years later, the apricot trees grew into a forest. After harvesting, the proceeds were used to treat poor people or homeless people passing by.

Later generations used "Xinglin" as a synonym for the medical community or clinics, and now it is common to use plaques or banners with "Xinglin Chunnuan" to praise accomplished doctors.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, had superb medical skills. Many people came to his clinic for treatment, and they often had to queue up for treatment. In order to reduce the pain of patients queuing up, he carved some prescriptions for common diseases on stone tablets and set them up by the roadside of his residence, allowing patients to treat themselves according to the prescriptions without taking any money. When critically ill patients seek treatment, no matter how far they are, or whether they are hungry or tired, they are always there as soon as they call. One day, after he had finished seeing the patients and was having dinner, someone asked him to make a visit. When he was about to go, his wife said: "The meal is on the table, go ahead and eat!" Dr. Sun said to his wife sternly: "No one will be hungry if he doesn't eat a meal, but if he misses the time for diagnosis and treatment, he will die. "After that, he took the medicine box and left.

Chen Angong, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, strictly kept the confidentiality of his patients and would not tell his wife if he encountered any inconvenience. Once, a prostitute was suffering from a sexually transmitted disease. After Dr. Chen diagnosed her, his wife came to see him when she was prescribing the medicine. He was afraid that his wife would see that the prescription was for sexually transmitted diseases, so he hurriedly covered the prescription with his hand and said, "Don't read this prescription!" His wife knew that her husband kept the patient's confidentiality, so she stopped and waited until the woman took the prescription. Come forward. Dr. Chen's medical ethics of keeping confidentiality for patients has been passed down to this day, and the medical profession still has rules for keeping confidentiality for patients.

Ye Tianshi, a famous Jiangnan doctor in the Qing Dynasty, never took it easy in his practice, and he would do his best even if there was a small hope. Once, he passed by a farmhouse and heard crying in the house, so he went in. When he asked, he found out that someone had "died of a sudden illness." He observed the "body" for a long time, took out a silver needle and pricked the "person" a few times. , this man really came back to life. Ye Tianshi became famous and said that he could even cure people alive, but he said: "I don't have such ability, it's just that I am more careful in diagnosing diseases!"
