Life is important and your daughter is precious.
Sun Simiao was an outstanding pharmacist in Tang Dynasty. He was born in Jingzhao Huayuan (now Sun Jia, Yao County, Shaanxi Province). Born in the first year of Wendi (58 1 year) and died in the first year of Yongchun, Tang Gaozong (682) at the age of 102. This doctor with more than 80 years of rich clinical experience has studied hard and read widely since he was a child. At the age of seven, he could recite thousands of words every day. By the age of twenty, he had mastered the theory of a hundred schools of thought contending. Since he stepped into the door of the medical treasure house, he has devoted his life to the medical cause. He dares to experiment and explore, and he is good at learning from the people. While practicing medicine, Sun Simiao also sorted out and studied the materials of wine science before the Tang Dynasty, and combined with his decades of clinical experience, he successively wrote two books, namely, Preparedness for Emergency and Preparedness for Thousand Gold Formulas, each with 30 volumes (collectively referred to as Thousand Gold Formulas), which can be said to be a great achievement of traditional Chinese medicine before the Tang Dynasty.
Sun Simiao believes that doctors should have good quality first. In the preface of Fang, he clearly pointed out that "human life is the most important thing, and there is a precious daughter." While helping it, virtue does not stop there, hence the name. " Here, he takes human life as a metaphor, which is why he takes the word "daughter" as the real meaning of his book title. He also stressed that he must have a high degree of sympathy and responsibility for patients. When you see a doctor, you must concentrate on it. Don't tease patients, make a hullabaloo about, distinguish right from wrong, show off your reputation and slander other doctors. We should treat patients, rich or poor, or close friends equally.
In the treatment of critically ill patients, personal reputation should never be the first consideration, and patients' sufferings should be regarded as their own. When visiting, we should be brave and rugged, regardless of day and night, regardless of cold and heat, regardless of hunger and fatigue, and treat patients wholeheartedly. At the same time, he also stressed the need to study hard, learn from the origin of medicine, and become a truly talented and knowledgeable doctor. In a word, Sun Simiao regards medicine as an extremely noble job.
In the third year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong (AD 652), Sun Simiao wrote a book "For Emergency Use", with 30 volumes, 230 books and 53,000 essays. Thirty years later, he wrote another thirty volumes of Wings of a Thousand Girls as a supplement to Thousands of Girls in Need. In these two books, Sun Simiao not only recorded the ancient classics before the Tang Dynasty, but also recorded a large number of "folk sayings are unilateral", and combined with his rich medical experience, he creatively developed medicine. The prevention, diagnosis, prescription, acupuncture and dietotherapy of diseases are all incisive. For example, he recorded in the book that Chinese herbal medicines such as Pulsatilla, Sophora flavescens and Coptis chinensis were used to treat dysentery; Treating malaria with Changshan and Shuqi; Betel nut for taeniasis. ..... These drugs have been used up to now and have been proved to be effective by modern science. He also took the lead in applying animal livers containing a lot of vitamin A, such as sheep livers and cattle livers, to treat night blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency.
For patients with iodine-deficient goiter, he not only treated with drugs such as seaweed and kelp with high iodine content, but also treated with sheep and deer (that is, the thyroid gland of sheep and deer). Now we know that the thyroid gland of these animals is rich in iodine, which is undoubtedly effective for patients with iodine deficiency goiter. What is particularly commendable is that he also proposed the prevention and treatment of beriberi. Besides treating beriberi with drugs such as Radix Saposhnikoviae, Fructus Zanthoxyli and Evodia rutaecarpa, it is also advocated to fry chaff (Toona sinensis skin) into soup and eat this soup porridge frequently to prevent beriberi. Now it is known that these drugs and bran contain a lot of vitamin B, and beriberi is caused by the lack of vitamin B in human body. Sun Simiao's understanding of this disease and the correct treatment and prevention methods were ten centuries earlier than the first discussion of beriberi in Europe in 1642.
Sun Simiao also emphasized the importance of keeping in good health in his book. He believes that women and children must set up specialties in treatment because their physiological characteristics are different from those of men and adults. It also advocates that women should control lewdness, regulate their temperament and avoid being frightened during pregnancy; Don't worry and be nervous when you are in labor. Midwives and others must keep calm and don't show panic or worry, otherwise it will lead to dystocia. After the baby is born, the dirty things in the child's mouth should be wiped off immediately to prevent suffocation and so on. He also observed and recorded the child's development process very carefully. For example, the growth of children's teeth, when can they turn over, crawl, stand, walk and so on. , should be recorded quite close to the actual situation. More importantly, he also advocates that children should wear soft clothes, not too thick, and should often bask in the sun and breathe fresh air. And made a correct and detailed record of the nursing mother's condition, nursing time, times, milk quantity, common sense of nursing and hygiene, and parenting methods.
In pharmacology, Sun Simiao has a unique view. He paid great attention to the time of collecting herbs and the method of making them, and repeatedly stressed that "the husband's medicine is taken without knowing the season, and it is not dried in the shade or exposed to the sun." Although there is a medicine name, there is no medicine. " Therefore, taking it on time is not equal to rotten wood, wasting people's labor, and it is useless to die. Therefore, he described in detail the collection time of more than 230 kinds of drugs, and listed 680 kinds of commonly used and commonly used drugs, suggesting that people collect them at any time for a rainy day. He also thought it necessary to find out the origin of herbs, so he recorded 5 19 authentic drugs produced in 33 states at that time in his book. In addition, he also created a method to classify drugs according to their therapeutic effects.
Because of Sun Simiao's outstanding contribution to pharmacology, people respectfully call him "the King of Medicine".
Sun Siyao is not only good at treating diseases, but also attaches great importance to hygiene. It is pointed out that people should develop the habits of not spitting, not indulging, not overeating, chewing slowly, not eating raw meat, gargling after meals, not sleeping immediately, often walking, not overeating at night, sleeping without a quilt, not putting a stove in front of their heads and so on.
Today, these opinions put forward by Sun Simiao are still very correct and in line with scientific principles.
After the publication of Qian Jinfang, there are many references in the works of traditional Chinese medicine after the Tang Dynasty. In foreign countries, Fang also enjoys a considerable reputation, and doctors in Japan and North Korea regard this book as an important reference.
