The book says that the teacher of human wisdom is the foundation of human morality. Only when the road is simple and sincere can we be filial to the world. Born in the world, having such knowledge and wisdom is naturally inseparable from teaching teachers. There will be many teachers in colleges and universities now, but the number is countless. However, among all the teachers, there are also people who will benefit me for life. Because I am fascinated by Huang Qi's way now, I will only prove that I have learned Huang Qi's skills. If there are any shortcomings, I hope to respect my teacher Han Hai.
Speaking of my teacher, because of its rule, "the teacher's name can't be known", so I can only repeat history. I hope you will forgive me if there is anything wrong. It goes back to the past, according to the teacher:
This matter has to start with the ancestor of Liu Yuan (Liu), who was sickly since childhood, but he was brilliant and studied tirelessly. At the age of 7, Wenneng was regarded as a "prodigy": he entered a private school at the age of 8, 10 went to Banqiaozi Wenchang Palace (in Huangjia Town, Shuangliu County) 20 miles away from home, and worked in Gongsheng Guhefeng for 8 years.
In the fifty years of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1785), Liu Yuan was selected as the first student in Shuangliu County, and in the fifty-third year of Qianlong (A.D. 1788), he was selected as a tribute student. But the following year, when his father died and his family was poor, Liu Yuan had no intention to be an official, so he started a class in his hometown of Shuangliu County, and his income subsidized his family. In the meantime, Liu Yuan continued to take the imperial examinations, and in the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (A.D. 1789), he selected the Ming Classics, and in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (A.D. 1792), he was promoted by Bagong. Although he won the list many times in the rural examination, he was always homesick and missed his mother, lonely and weak, and unwilling to leave. Liu Yuan's smooth road to the imperial examination ended with many misfortunes. In the fifty-eighth year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1793), the sixty years of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1795) and the first year of Jiaqing (A.D. 1796), Liu Yuan took the exam three times, all of which failed in Sun Shan. Liu Yuan felt very lost, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being and stayed in Chengdu to wait on his mother.
Liu Yuan's achievements in his life are attributed not only to his family background and his own cleverness and hard work, but also to the two outstanding people he met. The first master was Jing Yi, and the second was Ye Yun, especially the latter, who was Liu Yuan's savior and hit a noble person. He not only changed Liu Yuan's life fate, but also decided his future study direction to some extent.
In the third year of Jiaqing (1798), Liu Yuan recovered slightly. One day, he met an old man selling medicine at the local Pengjiachangji. He "described it as unusual, loved it, respected it, and asked for a way to prolong life"-this is old Ye Manyun. Ye Yun, an old man, prescribed a prescription for treating Liu Yuan, telling him that "life has its own elixir, which belongs to the body and mind". Explain to him the words of sages such as "the benevolent lives long, and the great virtue endures forever", and ask him to cultivate his mind and cultivate his nature. Liu Yuan saw that the old man was extraordinary and had an epiphany, and worshipped him as a teacher. Since then, he has been quietly taking medicine and exercising under the guidance of the old man. The essence of Ye Yun preached by the old man is "nourishing the spirit and qi, that is, cultivating one's morality intentionally", and its essence is the integration of Taoism and Confucianism. Liu Yuan studied with Ye Yun for 8 years. Ye Yun taught Liu Yuan when he was nearly 80 years old, when Liu Yuan was 36. From then on, Liu Yuan was more diligent, physically strong, learned a lot, and had more and more students. In the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13), Liu Yuan moved from his ancestral home in Sansheng Village, Ganzi Township, Shuangliu County to Chunhua Street, the south gate of Chengdu, where he built his own house and set up a new portal. Liu Yuan named the house "Huai Xuan" because there is a century-old pagoda tree in the new house, which is shaded by shade and quiet. Liu Yuan, with profound knowledge and successful studies, has been in Huaixuan for more than forty years, and began to adhere to the road of giving lectures and studying, eventually becoming a generation of great scholars.
During his teaching and missionary work, Liu Yuan had many disciples, but his favorite disciple was Yan He.
Zheng Qinan, born in Qionglai, Sichuan Province, was originally from Anhui Province. He was a disciple of Liu Yuan during Jiaqing years and has been a doctor for more than 70 years. His ancestors traveled in Sichuan and lived in Qionglai. Mr. Wang studied the history of Confucian classics since childhood and studied medicine with his father. He was a scholar in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, and later studied under Liu. Under the guidance of the philosophical thought of Huai Metaphysics, his knowledge obtained the purpose of Taiji and Zhongjing in Huangdi Neijing and Zhouyi. Therefore, the treatment legislation focuses on supporting Yang. It is handed down from generation to generation with the calmness of Vulcan religion.
Yan, a native of Deyang, Sichuan, was a disciple of Juren Liu Yuan in the late Qing Dynasty and an aunt of Lu. He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as well as medicine. The college was established in Deyang, and students often diagnose patients after class, with excellent results and a lot of praise. When Lu was a teenager, he studied literature and medicine with him, which laid a solid foundation for the later Vulcan school, and his ancestors became attached to medical ethics.
My grandfather was a soldier. He studied literature and martial arts since childhood and was interested in Huang Qi's way. So he is good at grasping holes, because the darts at home offended too many enemies and were hunted down. In the autumn of the fourth year of Guangxu (A.D. 1878), the family was separated because of being hunted, and their lives might be lost when they fled. When I arrived in Deyang, Sichuan, I lost too much blood and was unconscious before I woke up. Knowing that he was Yan's senior, he was overjoyed and asked Yan Lao for advice and devoted himself to practicing medicine. Seeing his sincerity, Yan Lao said, "Well, since you and I are predestined friends, if you are interested in asking Huang Qi for advice, I will teach you." After that, my grandfather devoted himself to practicing medicine. After I finished my studies, I founded the yiguang in Xinyang, Henan Province, and then I founded the sword-finger point meridian therapy which combined grasping points with pulling out needles. Has been passed down to this day. I also met my younger generation by chance. Because I have the foundation of Chinese medicine and martial arts, I have learned a lot from it in the past two years. Since I began to study, I have been guided by other predecessors in the industry, so I have formed a relatively complete set of methods for regulating sub-health viscera and meridians.
