"hiss!"

"ah!"

"Huh!"

The surrounding students of the same age kept exclaiming in surprise.

It's no wonder they had such a big reaction. The girl picked up a silver needle, put it on a candle and baked it. Then she kept turning the silver needle with her hand and stabbed it into Yong Hongzhong's head, forehead, back of neck and other parts.

Not long after, seven or eight silver needles were inserted into Yong Hongzhong's head, and two needles were inserted into his ankles and calves.

One student whispered: "It hurts so much. Such a long needle has penetrated into the scalp..."

"What do you know? This is acupuncture!"

Another fat student with some knowledge said in a low voice with an expression that said "No one knows acupuncture better than me": "We only need to diagnose the cause of the disease, identify its nature, and identify the meridians and organs related to the disease.

Then apply acupuncture and moxibustion to the relevant parts,

It can unblock the meridians, regulate qi and blood, return yin and yang to balance, and harmonize the internal organs.

Moreover, do you know who is performing the acupuncture?"

"who?"

"Qiu Feng, the daughter of Qiu Quan, the director of Shang Yao Bureau."

"Is it the imperial doctor Qiu Quan who cured the minister of Dali Temple with acupuncture?"

"Who else could it be?"

The people around were talking a lot,

Li Ang blinked curiously.

As a doctor, he knew when he was in Zhenzhou that the central medical institutions of the Yu State were the Imperial Medical Office, the Dianzhong Provincial Pharmacy Bureau, and the Yaozang Bureau.

Among them, the Imperial Medical Office is responsible for national medical administration and medical education.

The Drug Store Bureau serves the prince,

The Provincial Pharmacy Bureau in the palace serves the emperor.

Within the Shang Yao Bureau, there were two people named "Feng Yu", who were in charge of all the medicine offerings in the palace and were the emperor's personal physicians.

The four [Zhichang] are the deputies of [Fengyu] and are responsible for assisting [Fengyu] in managing the palace medicines. At the same time, they will also serve the princes, ministers, and nobles of the clan in accordance with the orders of the emperor.

In short, Shang Yao Bureau [Zhi Chang] is the imperial doctor, and he is the imperial doctor with the most advanced medical technology.

Some unfavored concubines and princes are not even qualified to force the [Director] to diagnose and treat them in person, and can only be treated by the [Chief Doctor] or [Assistant Medical Officer] below the [Director].

'The most outstanding doctor...'

Li Ang stood aside with great interest and observed silently. The city of Zhenzhou where he was born was either big or small.

In terms of medical technology alone, it is definitely not as good as the royal medical family in Chang'an City.

The daughter of the imperial doctor named Qiu Feng, as if she didn't hear the comments around her at all, she administered the needles calmly and calmly.

After all the silver needles are inserted, wait quietly for half a quarter of an hour.

Then he pulled out all the silver needles, breathed a long sigh of relief, took half a step back, and asked Yong Hongzhong in his seat in a clear voice: "Okay, how do you feel?"

"It feels... it feels... okay."

Yong Hongzhong, who suffers from a stutter, stammered: "It's just that my legs are a little cold."

"It's normal to be cold. The trouser legs are still rolled up."

Qiu Feng smiled and said charmingly, "Get up and take a walk."

"good."

Yong Hongzhong stood up from his chair and took two steps. His steps were steady and he didn't feel dizzy at all.

"So magical?"

"How many needles will it take?"

"As expected of the royal doctor's daughter, by the way, do you know that she will also take the Academy Exam with us this year?"

The people around were talking in low voices,

Li Ang curiously patted the shoulder of the fat student next to him who looked very understanding, "My dear friend, you just said that the imperial physician Qiu Quan cured the Dali Temple Minister with acupuncture.

How is this going?"

"You're not a student from Chang'an, are you?"

The fat student looked Li Ang up and down and said with a friendly smile: "This happened some time ago.

Zhao Siqing of Dali Temple suffered from wind disease, and his waist and feet were not able to move properly and he could not kneel or stand up.

Qiu Quan, the direct director of Shang Yao Bureau, under the order of the emperor, went to Zhao Siqing's house for diagnosis and treatment. He acupuncture acupuncture points on the two points of Su, Huantiao, Yanglingquan, Juxu and Lian.

He returned to normal and was able to bend down and stand up."

Song Shaoyuan on the side opened his eyes slightly, "So magical?"

"of course."

The fat student curled his lips and complained in a low voice: "Everyone in the world says that moxibustion is better than acupuncture, but I don't think so.

It can be cured with acupuncture, which is better than moxibustion, and at least it won’t leave any scars.”

Li Ang smiled slightly when he heard the resentment in the fat student's tone. The so-called acupuncture is actually the general term for acupuncture and moxibustion.

Acupuncture refers to inserting a needle into the patient's body at a certain angle, and stimulating specific parts of the human body through acupuncture techniques such as twisting, lifting and inserting.

The moxibustion method uses prefabricated moxibustion columns or moxibustion grass to burn and fumigate the body surface, so it is also called moxibustion.

Although "acupuncture" has needles in the front and moxibustion in the back,

But in Yu State, the status of moxibustion was much higher than that of acupuncture, with moxibustion as the main method and acupuncture as the supplement.

From the princes and ministers to the common people,

If you have a headache or a fever, in addition to taking medicine, you will also undergo moxibustion, so many people will have unsightly moxibustion scars on their bodies.

In "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies", there are 510 poems on moxibustion and only 50 poems on acupuncture.

In "Qian Jin Yi Fang", there are 560 poems on moxibustion and only 90 poems on acupuncture.

This is not only because there are very few doctors who know acupuncture, but also because in the general concept of Yu people, acupuncture is inferior to moxibustion.

In the comprehensive medical book "Waitai Mi Yao" compiled by Wang Tao, the grandson of Wang Gui, the famous prime minister in the early years of the Yu Kingdom, it even bluntly stated that "Acupuncture can kill the living but cannot revive the dead."

Li Ang doesn't have much ill intentions towards acupuncture.

However, he knew very well that the reason why acupuncture was so popular among the people was largely due to the fact that Yu State was short of doctors and medicines——

The more remote, poor and backward the area is, and the area lacks medical treatment, the easier it is for people to be forced to use various methods to save themselves.

Simple and cheap acupuncture (especially moxibustion that is easy to operate and not easy to kill) is undoubtedly the only option to solve the urgent problem.

"Looks like it's cured?"

Li Ang glanced at Yong Hongzhong, who was walking normally, and waved his hand to Song Shaoyuan, "Brother Song, I'll leave first."

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you Risheng..."

While Song Shaoyuan was talking, he heard another cry from the crowd around him - Yong Hongzhong was about to bend down and put down his trousers with a look of joy, but as soon as he bent down, he fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Although Qiu Feng, the daughter of the imperial doctor, hurriedly lifted him up and placed him on a chair, Yong Hongzhong still lowered his eyes and fell into dizziness.

"what happened?"

A girl in gorgeous clothes, Shi Shiran, walked out of the crowd, frowned and said to Qiu Feng, "Why did you faint again?"

Qiu Feng was obviously a little nervous and almost bit his tongue, "I'm telling the princess, "Su Wen Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun" says: All wind and dizziness belong to the liver.

Fengchi point is an acupoint on the gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang. It is the intersection point of Foot Shaoyang meridian and Yangwei pulse. It has the functions of calming the liver and extinguishing wind, clearing away heat and relieving the surface, clearing the head and improving eyesight.

I should apply two more needles to Fengchi point and perform moxibustion at the same time, and then everything will be fine."

Princess?

The crowd around was in an uproar, and the fat student next to Li Ang stared at the girl in gorgeous clothes with his mouth trembling slightly.

Li Ang's eyelids jumped slightly when he heard the word "princess princess", but he didn't have time to think about it - Qiu Feng had already taken out the moxibustion column made of wormwood from her medicine box, and was about to put it on a candle to light it, and then put it on Yong Hongzhong

body burned.

"Wait a moment,"

Moxibustion can cause pain and potentially fatal wound infection. Li Ang had to take a step forward and said loudly: "Let me take a look."
