Shitaiyi

When Sun Simiao was over one hundred years old, he returned to Wutai Mountain in Yaozhou from the capital Chang 'an. [] When people heard about it, they kept going up the mountain for medical treatment. At this point, Sun Simiao's face was covered with deep and dense wrinkles, his eyes were blurred and his ears were not working. He thought, I can't live for a few days. Who will treat the patient after I die? After careful consideration, he finally came up with a good idea.

There is a skilled stonemason in the east of the district, and people call him a skilled stonemason. According to Sun Simiao's orders, skilled masons selected a big stone as clean as jade from the western hills and chiseled it into a monument that looks like a pillar. The head and base of the tablet are also engraved with patterns of medicinal materials such as yellow flowers, Eucommia ulmoides and angelica.

Sun Simiao wrote the most effective prescription summed up in his life on the tablet, and the masons were meticulous.

Sun Simiao had this exquisite stone tablet stand at the foot of Wutai Mountain and on the road on the east bank of Qishui River for more people to see.

After Sun Simiao's death, people got sick, so they looked for a prescription from this monument. The prescriptions on the tablet are all tested, which have saved countless patients and played the role of doctors. At that time, people called those who treated emperors and court officials "cure too much". Therefore, people call this monument "stone cures too much".

One morning, a skilled stonemason passed by here and was surprised. I saw "Doctor Shi" lying on the ground. I don't know who chiseled the handwriting on it, and there are chessboard scars everywhere on the tablet. The patient who sought medical treatment stroked Dr. Shi and cursed the chiseler. They all cried with anger, and their tears wet the dumb doctor Shi Tai.

At noon that day, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the blue sky. Dark clouds slowly settled on the top of Wutai Mountain. After a while, an old man came from there. His eyes are big and round, flashing red, like a pair of lanterns, and he is wearing a golden robe.

The old man came over and said, "Don't be afraid. I am the old dragon that Mr. Sun treated thirty years ago. " He gnashed his teeth and said, "I already know that dr.stone has been chiseled. I can't spare this bad guy! " "Said the" shout "to fly into the air, stepping on the dark clouds, revealing the prototype-a few zhangs long dragon. I saw it bulging with fire eyes and looking around. After a while, it stared directly at the south and said, "I saw that scum." He is too much like a doctor. " At the moment, Cure too much is triumphantly leading a few people to the direction of Chang 'an.

The old dragon held a front paw high, and suddenly, a discerning lightning shot out of the front paw. Lightning broke through the blue sky and split to the south, followed by a loud thunder, which made people's eardrums "hum".

The dragon said happily, "I killed that bad guy!" " "

After a while, the dragon returned to the top of the mountain and dropped a big roll of paper.

Everyone picked it up and saw that it was the prescription on the "stone therapist" printed by the doctor too much.

I am so happy! Please ask a skilled stonemason to chisel four more stone slabs and carve the prescription on them. Skilled masons were worried that something would happen to the new monuments erected by the roadside, so they put them all in front of Sun Simiao's former residence on the mountain. To this day, they are still here!

Death and rebirth

One morning, Sun Simiao was going to a distant village for a house call. 【】 When passing by the village entrance, I suddenly saw a drop of bright red blood on the road, dripping intermittently. As he walked, he said, "Who was injured early in the morning and shed so much blood? At this moment, an old man came from the front. Sun Simiao quickly asked, "Old man, look at the ground. Who is injured here? How did the blood flow like this? "

"I just came from the front and saw a few people carrying a coffin that was simply nailed up with a few boards to bury the dead. The joint of the coffin kept dripping blood. The blood drops on this road must have flowed from the dead man in that coffin. "

When Sun Simiao heard the old man say that the blood flowing from the coffin was dead, he seriously thought for a moment. He thought: Why is the blood so bright red when people die? Judging from my years of medical experience, this man may not be dead. The heart of saving people drives him so that he can't hesitate any longer. He immediately quickened his pace and stepped forward quickly.

Sun Simiao walked out of breath for more than a mile and came to the cemetery. By this time, the person who buried the man had dug the grave and was putting the coffin in. He shouted, "Stop, stop! Who is in the coffin? How did you die? How long have you been dead? "

Next to the grave stood a very sad young farmer. When he saw someone asking about the dead man, he said casually, "This dead man is my woman. She gave birth in the middle of the night, and her first child was difficult to deliver. She died in the middle of the night and the baby was not born. Why did you ask her? "

"From the point of the blood dripping from the coffin seam to the road, it obviously doesn't look like the blood of the dead. You told everyone to put the coffin on the ground and let me open it. Maybe she's still a little angry and can be saved. The corpse Sun Simiao narrated his views to the young farmers.

People have been dead for too long, how can they be saved? Everyone didn't believe him, so they put the coffin in the grave and immediately began to fill it with shovels. At this critical moment of saving lives, Sun Simiao repeatedly stated his views and reasons to the young farmer and others, and persuaded everyone to give it a try. Everyone just stopped and gave him a try with a strange attitude.

Prying open the coffin in the grave, Sun Simiao jumped down and saw the young woman in her twenties, her face was like a yellow box, without a trace of blood, and her face was very painful and terrible. Sun Simiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch her pulse, and sure enough, he could not judge that the young woman's pulse was still beating weakly. Sun Simiao hurriedly took out a few Miao Yinzhen from the medicine bag, selected the acupuncture points on her body, and made acupuncture in a hurry. Then he took out some powder and poured it into her mouth. At this time, everyone stood on the grave, quietly watching and waiting with suspicious eyes.

About a pot of cigarettes, I saw the young woman move a few times and gave birth to a baby. In the cry of the baby, the mother slowly opened her eyes and woke up. At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was surprised. Everyone praised Sun Simiao's ability to "bring back the dead" as an imperial doctor. The maternal husband saw that his wife not only survived, but also gave birth to a baby safely. He quickly changed from sadness to joy, and held Sun Simiao's hand tightly. It took him a long time to say, "You saved my life. How can I repay this kindness? " Sun Simiao said with a smile? "Don't thank me, hurry to send my mother home and have a good rest. I'll show it to her in a few days. " After that, he said goodbye to everyone and went to another village to treat a critically ill patient.

Introducing pulse diagnosis

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Li Shimin, the favorite of Emperor Taizong, was pregnant for more than ten months. Not only is she infertile, but she is also seriously ill. Although she has been carefully treated by the imperial doctor, her condition has not improved. []

One day, Emperor Taizong said to Xu Maogong, "Does Ai Qing know any other famous doctors who can treat the queen?" Xu Maogong said, "I heard that there was a famous doctor named Sun Simiao in Jingzhao Garden (now Yaozhou District, Shaanxi Province). Once the incurable diseases reach his hands, they will be rejuvenated. " After hearing this, Taizong said, "Since there is such a famous doctor, you can send someone to invite him to the palace as soon as possible to relieve the queen's illness and relieve my worries."

Xu Maogong obeyed Taizong's orders and sent for Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao was called into the palace, and Emperor Taizong quickly asked him to treat the queen. Due to the restriction of feudal ethics where men and women were not close, Sun Simiao seldom looked, smelled, asked and felt directly. So, according to the description of the condition of the Queen by Emperor Taizong and the ladies-in-waiting, he asked the ladies-in-waiting to tie a silk thread on the middle finger of the Queen's right hand and hold this silk thread through the account to "feel the pulse" for the Queen. According to the jitter of silk thread, in a short time, Sun Simiao diagnosed the queen's illness. Then, he told Emperor Taizong: "If the queen is not born, just stick a needle in her middle finger and drink some soup, and the queen's body will recover."

Emperor Taizong readily agreed to give the queen an injection, and the ladies-in-waiting listened to Sun Simiao's orders and helped the queen out of the account with her left hand. Sun Simiao took a silver needle and soon pricked the queen's middle finger. Shortly after the injection, the queen really gave birth smoothly. Later, Sun Simiao wrote a prescription for the Queen. After the queen took the medicine, her spirit got better day by day. In a few days, I can get out of bed and walk around.

Emperor Taizong was very happy that the queen was well. One day, his ministers congratulated him, and Emperor Taizong announced that Sun Simiao would go to the Golden Palace and put him in charge of the Imperial Palace. However, Sun Simiao was determined to treat the people and refused to be an official in the DPRK. He politely declined the appointment of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong couldn't keep him, and gave him 220 gold, 100 silks and satins and a gold medal. Before he left, Emperor Taizong led the officials of civil and military affairs and reluctantly sent Sun Simiao out of Beijing.
