Chapter 67: The effect of acupuncture and the impact of the reorganization of Taiyuan Hospital

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." His father, the son of Yuan Xiong, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

A journey of three thousand miles can take several months to reach, not to mention being seriously ill, how can one endure a long journey?

Xiong Bi'er looked at his grandfather who was still vomiting blood and cried silently.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiebin suddenly felt uncomfortable. Thinking of his grandfather whom he had never met, he choked up and said: "Masters, are there nothing you can do?"

Zhang Jiebin held back his tears and looked expectantly at the imperial doctors, but they all shook their heads.

"The grand Taiyuan Hospital is responsible for the world's medical responsibility, but it can't even save the grandfather of a child? What kind of hospital is this?"

"What kind of hospital is it called?"

"What kind of hospital is it called?"

Zhang Jiebin couldn't bear it any longer, hating that he was powerless and that the hospital was unable to turn the tide and give Xiong Bi'er a complete childhood.

"Let me try!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised, but they saw that the person who said it was Yang Jishi.

"If you believe me, let me give it a try, but I have something to say first. Under acupuncture and fire moxibustion, you will either live or die." Yang Jishi looked at the three descendants of the Xiong family with an extremely cautious expression.

Gong Tingxian looked shocked and said: "Could it be that you want acupuncture at forbidden acupuncture points again?"

"Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?"

At this time, Yang Jishi looked upright, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a light called hope.

This beam of light shone into the heart of Zhang Jiebin, also shone into the heart of Xiong Bier, and even shone into the hearts of countless young doctors present.

At this time, member Xiong and his son were stunned on the spot, and no one answered for a while.

Xiong Bi'er's childish voice sounded again.

"I believe you, grandpa."

"Because you are the only one who said that my grandfather can be saved!"

Yang Jishi stroked Xiong Bi'er's head, showed a kind smile, and then asked Xiong Yuanwai and his son again: "Can you let me give it a try?"

Only then did Mr. Xiong's son react and asked hesitantly: "I wonder how confident the imperial doctor is?"

Yang Jishi pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Jiebin and Xiong Bier, and said: "A glimmer of hope."

Zhang Jiebin was very moved, knowing that Master Yang's standing up this time was to endorse him. He had said before that there was a glimmer of hope if the stomach qi still existed. At this time, Yang Jishi really stood up and worked hard for this glimmer of hope.

"Then please ask the doctor." Mr. Xiong's son said sincerely.

When Yang Jishi was about to perform acupuncture, Gong Tingxian finally advised: "Xiong is suffering from dysentery, his pulse is dangerous, and there is only heat in the chest. This is a sign of yin exhaustion and yang detachment. Vomiting and diarrhea are excessive, and the medicine is not as good as the needle."

Moxibustion is necessary, so why not try moxibustion to see if it can restore Yang and save the disease."

Yang Jishi looked solemn and said slowly: "Diseases have symptoms and treatment priorities. If you stick to the daily taboos and don't acupuncture the sea of ​​qi, why will the lumps disperse? If the lumps don't dissipate, how can the qi be dredged? If the qi is not dredged, why

When can the pain stop and the pulse recover? As the saying goes, treat the symptoms when it is urgent, and this is exactly what it means!"

Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to dissuade him and watched nervously as he performed the acupuncture.

I saw Yang Jishi urgently acupuncture the Xiong Yuanwai Qihai point, and then removed the needles and replaced the moxibustion. The moxibustion was strong until he was fifty, and the lumps dispersed, the pain stopped, and the pulse recovered!

Seeing that member Xiong's condition had recovered, Yang Jicai was relieved. Although he firmly believed that his idea was right, challenging the taboo still made him feel anxious. He didn't really feel relieved until it was effective.

"I know that diseases in spring and summer are caused by Yang, and diseases in autumn and winter are caused by Yin."

"We also know that spring and summer are thin and have shallow thorns, and autumn and winter are fat and have deep thorns."

"Moreover, I know that if the hope is not nourished, the darkness will not be relieved, and if the string is not snatched, the sleep will not be relieved. If you are seriously ill, and the color and pulse are not smooth, don't use acupuncture."

Speaking of this, Yang Jishi laughed: "No matter how many taboos there are behind the poem, the opening chapter of "Biaoyou Fu" only has eight characters - the method of salvation, the wonderful use of needles."

The doctors were silent. They could all recite "Biaoyou Fu" from memory to memory, but most of them ignored the opening eight characters and only remembered the taboos and methods of acupuncture at the end.

Yang Jishi continued: "Acupuncture is the best cure for diseases! Therefore, it is the first to be recorded in Su Wen. Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and Bian Que are all called miracle doctors. One needle can cure the disease."

The acupuncture points can be used by patients at their fingertips, which is the pioneer of sincere doctors. In recent times, this subject has almost become extinct, which is really a pity!"

The doctors are even more embarrassed. They are all miracle doctors in various fields and are famous all over the world, but their acupuncture method is not worthy of their name.

Acupuncture to rescue emergencies is rarely seen here; when acupuncture and medicine are used together, acupuncture is just an auxiliary, losing its due shine, but it is better than nothing.

"One acupuncture, two moxibustion, three medicines. This sage is telling us the importance of acupuncture. How can we, the doctors, do away with the other two and only use medicine?"

"Can't we practice medicine without medicine?"

"How can a dignified doctor be inferior to a wandering doctor? They still keep in mind the four words of honesty, simplicity, convenience and integrity!"

"Where are you gentlemen? They only know how to prescribe, prescribe generously, and use the best medicine. Is this treating a disease or buying a life?"

Taking the medicinal materials from Tongzhou as an example, the price of Atractylodes is 600 kilograms, while the price of bezoar is 6 taels. Even though they are both priced at 6 taels, the price of bezoars is 9600 times that of Atractylodes (one kilogram is equal to

Sixteen taels (six hundred pounds is 9,600 taels), this is the difference between high-quality medicinal materials and ordinary medicinal materials, the value difference is almost ten thousand times.

There are famous doctors everywhere, but there is no doubt that the capital, especially Taiyuan Hospital, has the most famous doctors. What Taiyuan Hospital is best at is treating diseases of wealth and wealth. This is why famous doctors, including Xue Lizhai, Zhang Jiebin, and Zhao Xianke, eventually became the Wenbu sect.

A root cause.

It’s no wonder that Yang Jishi had such strong opinions. His anger stemmed from the source. Six years ago, in the fifth year of Longqing, in 1571 AD, the Taiyuan Hospital was reorganized. It brought earth-shaking changes to the Taiyuan Hospital and will also affect the

Changes in the world’s doctors.

1. The number of four official positions was expanded to ten, and the number of medical officers was increased.

Second, the thirteen subjects that have existed for two hundred years have become eleven subjects. The three subjects of gold arrowhead, Zhuyou, and massage have been abolished, and acne diagnosis has been added.

The Department of Golden Sores is a specialized subject in the treatment of trauma and war injuries. Since most of the treatment targets are injuries from arrows, swords, knives and other weapons, it was often called Jinshou or Jinshou in the past dynasties. Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, it was passed down through the generations until six years ago.

It was abolished and merged into the Department of Surgery. Although it strengthened the strength of the Department of Surgery to a certain extent, it also caused Dr. Jin to lose his corresponding status. This also made it impossible to resist the impact of Western medicine surgery three hundred years later.

Zhuyou is too mysterious, so I didn’t want to talk about it. But for the sake of completeness, let me introduce it. Zhuyou treats diseases without using medicine or using less medicine, and the master uses Zhuyou’s thoughts and the field generated by the spell to treat various diseases. It is not excluded.

It's partially effective, but it's too easy for witches, semi-immortals, and gods to take advantage of.

Massage department, also called massage, was discontinued during the Song and Jin Dynasties. It was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that the Massage Department was reestablished in Tai Hospital. Only then did massage and massage achieve a certain development in the Ming Dynasty. With the reorganization 6 years ago, the massage department was reorganized

Canceled.

In order to avoid continuous inheritance, massage doctors had to change their targets and turn to infants and young children. Thus, a new direction of pediatric massage was born. Many famous massage doctors and works were born one after another, and in the Qing Dynasty, massage was further combined with bone setting. It became one of the few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

The advantage of more.

After this reorganization of the Taiyuan Hospital, it was simple and cost-effective to eliminate three departments from the nine departments that accounted for the majority, leaving only six departments: acupuncture, surgery, throat, oral health, ophthalmology, and orthopedics. Regardless of the subjects, it seems that there is an extra department.

, still have an advantage, but they are only a minority.

Taiyuan Hospital is also divided into major departments and minor departments. Counting 20 people, there are five people in Dafangmai, four in typhoid, two in Xiaofangmai, two in gynecology, dental, throat, and surgery.

Seven departments, including bone setting, acne diagnosis, ophthalmology, and acupuncture, each account for one person.

In other words, the six subjects including acupuncture and moxibustion accounted for only six people, accounting for 30%. But before, nine of the thirteen people accounted for it, accounting for nearly 70%.

This time it was turned upside down. It can be said that it was not only a change in Taiyuan Hospital, but also had an impact on the entire Ming Dynasty medical community.

A more serious consequence is that after entering the Qing Dynasty, Chinese medicine became completely partial and no longer developed in an all-round way. First, orthopedics was abandoned and handed over to Mongolian doctors; then the acupuncture department was abolished, making acupuncture almost on the verge of being lost.

Immediately afterwards, typhoid and gynecology were merged into the Dafang Pulmonology Department. Pimples and Acne were merged into the Xiaofang Pulmonology Department. Oral and Throatology were merged into one department. Together with surgery and ophthalmology, there were only five departments left.

Although there are five disciplines, only the two disciplines of large and small square pulses have a sense of existence. Since then, medicine has entered a deadlock. At this time, Western medicine entered China aggressively, and traditional Chinese medicine failed miserably and was almost abolished.

This is the major change that the reorganization of a small imperial hospital has brought to the Chinese medical community. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, relying on the power accumulated over two hundred years, Chinese medicine ushered in a two-hundred-year-long transformation and was transformed by China.

The history of medicine is called the heyday and innovation period of traditional Chinese medicine.

After Yang Jishi finished speaking, Xu Chunfu and others were silent. They were all the beneficiaries of this reorganization. They were all promoted from doctors to officials, crossing the gap between civilians and officials in one fell swoop.

They can also realize the significant impact of this reorganization on the medical profession. They will never forget the scene when colleagues from the former Tai Hospital were kicked out.

That scene was clearly a human tragedy.

After decades of hard study, one move was abolished. What left was not just the lonely figures of dozens of people, but also the lives and fortunes of thousands and tens of thousands of doctors who relied on them for survival. That was the end of a millennium of inheritance.

.

Zhang Jiebin and others looked at the teacher in surprise. Listening to them, they slowly recounted what happened six years ago one by one. Everyone felt heavy.

They couldn't help but wonder, would it happen a few years later, or decades later, that they would just become masters in a subject, only to find that this subject has been abolished?

Will they also become the last descendants?

Thinking like this, everyone's enthusiasm was greatly dampened. Especially those who applied for surgery, oral dentistry, throat surgery, bone setting, acne diagnosis, ophthalmology, acupuncture and other departments, they wanted to change careers immediately and apply again.

At this time, Xu Chunfu stood up: "Don't panic, gentlemen. The imperial court has considered all subjects. Don't worry, there won't be any big changes in two hundred years."

Just these words calmed everyone's hearts.
