Celebrity inspirational story: medical sage
Zhang Zhongjing, a famous machine, male, Han nationality, was born in Nanyang, Henan Province around AD 150. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was taught to be filial, and when Emperor Han Ling was in office, he was the city-level Changsha magistrate.
Zhang Zhongjing was praised as a "medical saint" by later generations. His medical skills are superb, and he has cured many patients with incurable diseases with the skills gained from diligent study and hard practice. He has a noble medical ethics. When he saw the epidemic of diseases in Henan, he gave up his official position and returned to his hometown to practice medicine and treat the people. His medical skill is brilliant, and he wrote the famous medical work Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which is the first time in China's medical history to put forward the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and formed China's unique medical thought system. It is not only respected by domestic medical experts in past dynasties, but also imitated by Japanese, Korean and European and American medical experts. Known as "the Sect of all laws, the ancestor of all laws, and the sage of medicine."
social relations
Zhang Zhongjing was born in a bureaucratic family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father Zhang Hanzong was an official with an intellectual background. When he was young, he saw the story of Bian Que's visit to Qi Huangong from the history books, admired Bian Que's superb medical skills, and decided to become a doctor when he grew up.
In 16 1 year, 1 1 year, Zhang Zhongjing studied medicine with Zhang Bozu in the county. Zhang Bozu was a famous physician at that time. He has a calm personality. Every time he treats a patient and prescribes a prescription, he is very thoughtful. Nine times out of ten, the patients he treated can be cured, so Zhang Bozu is deeply respected by the people. He Yi, a fellow countryman older than Zhang Zhongjing, studied medicine together. He admires Zhang Zhongjing's spirit of studying medicine hard. He once said, "You are so thoughtful that you must be a good doctor in the future." It means that Zhang Zhongjing is talented, studious, smart and steady, but he does not have the temperament and demeanor of being an official and is not suitable for being an official. As long as you concentrate on studying medicine, you will definitely become a famous doctor in the future. The magical healing story of the medical sage
Get rid of superstition and treat mental illness
In ancient feudal society, superstition and witchcraft prevailed, and the evil spirits of witches and ghosts rose, which harmed the people and defrauded money. Zhang Zhongjing hates these witch doctors and heretics very much.
One day, he met a woman who cried and laughed for a while and was always suspicious. The patient's family listened to the witch's deception and thought it was a "ghost" and asked the witch to "exorcise evil spirits" for her. Zhang Zhongjing observed the patient's complexion and illness and asked about the patient's condition. Then he said to the patient's family: "She is not haunted by ghosts at all, but' blood enters the room', which is caused by great stimulation. Her illness can be completely cured. The real ghosts are those hateful witches. They are' living ghosts' and must not entangle patients, otherwise patients will be in danger. " With the consent of the patient's family, he studied the treatment and gave the patient several injections. A few days later, the woman's condition gradually improved. Zhang Zhongjing treated her for a while and then recovered. Since then, some poor people have fallen ill, so they no longer believe the story of witch doctors, but seek treatment from Zhang Zhongjing. Anal suppository was first used to relieve constipation.
On one occasion, a patient had a dry stool, could not be discharged, could not eat, and was very weak. Zhang Zhongjing carefully checked and confirmed that it was constipation caused by high fever. At that time, when constipation was encountered, patients were generally allowed to take drugs for purging fire. But the patient is too weak to take laxatives. But there is no laxative, the stool is blocked, and the heat evil cannot be ruled out. What shall we do? After careful consideration, Zhang Zhongjing decided to make a new attempt: he fried some honey, kneaded it into thin strips, made it into "pills" and slowly stuffed it into the patient's anus. The "tablets" dissolve quickly after entering the intestine, and the dry stool dissolves and is discharged in a short time. The stool was unobstructed, the heat pathogen was discharged, and the patient's condition improved immediately. This is the earliest anal suppository laxative method used in the medical history of China.
Pioneer of artificial respiration
On another occasion, when Zhang Zhongjing went out, he saw many people sighing around a man lying on the ground, and several women were crying miserably. Only when he inquired did he know that the man hanged himself because his family was too poor to live in. When he was rescued, he found that he could not move. Knowing that he had not hanged himself for a long time, Zhang Zhongjing quickly ordered the man to be put on the bed board and pulled the quilt to keep him warm. At the same time, I called two strong young people, squatted next to the man, massaged his chest, picked up his arm and landed together. Zhang Zhongjing himself spread his feet, squatted on the bed board, held his palm against the man's waist and abdomen, and relaxed and pressed with the movement of his arm. In less than an hour, the man actually breathed weakly. Zhang Zhongjing told everyone not to stop and keep doing it. After a while, the man finally woke up. This is the artificial respiration widely used in first aid now.
The origin of sitting doctors
Although Zhang Zhongjing hated officialdom and despised official career since he was a child. But because his father used to be an official in the imperial court, he attached great importance to getting an official position. Zhang Zhongjing didn't want to disobey his father's orders, so in A.D. 188, when he was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he achieved filial piety and entered the officialdom. In A.D. 196, he was sent by the imperial court to Changsha, Hunan Province as a prefect. But he still used his medical skills to relieve the suffering of the people. In feudal times, officials could not enter houses and get close to people at will. But you can't treat people without touching them. So Zhang Zhongjing thought of a way to open the yamen on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and let the sick people in without asking about political affairs. He sat upright in the hall and treated everyone carefully. He asked the chief to post a notice to tell people the news. His action caused a strong shock in the local area, and everyone clapped their hands to celebrate.
Later, people called the doctor who was sitting in a drugstore to treat people "sitting doctor" to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing.
Since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in 196, there have been frequent wars. Zhang Zhongjing's family originally had more than 200 people. In less than 10 years, three-thirds of two dead died of plague and seven-tenths of typhoid fever.
Zhang Zhongjing learned from this painful experience. He is determined to control the epidemic of plague and cure typhoid fever. From then on, he assiduously studied ancient medical books, inherited the basic theories of classic medical books such as Neijing, widely used the treatment methods of other doctors for reference, and combined with personal clinical diagnosis experience, studied the methods of treating typhoid miscellaneous diseases.
At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided, and Zhang Zhongjing was dying, making it difficult to return home. In 205 AD, he lived in seclusion in Lingnan and began to write Treatise on Febrile Diseases. By 2 10, an epoch-making clinical medical masterpiece Treatise on Febrile Diseases was finally written, with sixteen volumes. Later generations compiled it into two books, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. (Treatise on Febrile Diseases) has made important contributions to the development of etiology theory and prescription theory in Chinese medicine. Later, the book was regarded as "the ancestor of Fang Shu" and Zhang Zhongjing was also called "Master Jing Fang".
After writing this book, Zhang Zhongjing still devoted himself to studying medicine until his death in 2 19 AD at the age of 69. In 285 AD, after Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, was unified, Zhang Zhongjing's body was transported back to his hometown for burial by later generations, and a medical shrine and Zhongjing's tomb were built in Nanyang, Henan.
