Chapter 167: Money is easy to get, but good books are hard to find
Several more Taoists gradually came to the side room, staring at the scrolls Lin Wanwan spread out in the cloth bag with green eyes.
When Sun Shenxian was young, it was difficult to come into contact with a book called "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" from the Han Dynasty, because such books were secretly hidden by medical families and were not circulated at all.
In order to study, he traveled around and studied wherever he found good medical workers. He spent money to buy a wife. If he couldn't buy it with money, he would even work around the clock like a little apprentice, just for the sake of it.
Take a look at medical books and secret recipes.
If Sun Shenxian is like this, it is even more conceivable that the Taoist priests in Ge Xian Temple have such educational experiences.
They had never been lucky enough to meet someone like Lin Wanwan who could produce more than a dozen volumes of medical books in one breath. If a medical family could have more than a dozen volumes of medical books, they could train generations of court physicians. Who would be willing to make it public?
?
Lin Wanwan, who was not that engrossed in the reading, soon discovered the three Taoist priests who were blocked in the window and stared at the book like a mural. She smiled and handed them a medical book at random.
The three of them suddenly felt as if they had found a treasure. They sat cross-legged with their heads together and immersed themselves in reading. This kind of opportunity does not come around all the time. Take advantage of this prodigal young lady not to regret it, and hurry up and watch. The more you watch, the more money you will earn.
a little.
The little Taoist boy who was following Sun Simiao looked at Lin Wanwan with strange eyes. Yesterday, he heard clearly that the young lady said that there was a volume of medical books that she wanted to dedicate to Daoist Sun. How could she bring out more than a dozen volumes in one breath today?
Is there such a selfless doctor in this world?
Lin Wanwan was distracted while reading. She suddenly thought of something from these people's reactions. Maybe she could teach some medical workers in Linjiazhuang.
Although she herself is just a three-legged cat, she has a lot of medical books. And what did the Tang Dynasty have in the fourth year of Zhenguan? Chao Yuanfang's "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", Wang Tao's "Secrets of Waitai", etc.
Wait, it will take decades to appear!
Even the existing medical books "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Lingshu", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Su Wen", etc. are not the kind of books that ordinary gentry can collect!
Although the status of doctors was not very high in the Tang Dynasty, they were still discriminated against even among the gentry. Han Yu once said that "a man who is a witch doctor, a musician, and a master of various skills is despised by a gentleman." Many doctors and witches in the Tang Dynasty did not distinguish between each other.
At home, there are many witch doctors who use their magic skills to treat people.
But compared to the current fishing industry in Linjiazhuang, medicine can be regarded as a rare opportunity for advancement.
It is still very difficult to teach the children in Linjiazhuang to pass the imperial examination based on poetry and scriptures. Even if Lin Wanwan invites Old Master Chen to teach, the road will still be long. But let them study arithmetic and medicine
There is still some hope for a breakthrough into the upper class.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan decided to select some young men and women over the age of fifteen in Linjiazhuang to study medicine!
Even if they can't get an official position in the Imperial Medical Office in the future, they will definitely have great hope in becoming medical doctors, acupuncture doctors and other teaching assistants. Taking a step back, just being a Yanlu medical worker in Luan County is better than being at sea.
Fighting for one's life is strong.
While I was thinking wildly, a voice of exclamation suddenly came from the opposite side. It was Sun Shenxian who was overjoyed when he saw the wonderful thing.
Although the first aid manual copied by Lin Wanwan belongs to Western medicine, Sun Simiao, as a miracle doctor, can naturally understand the quality of the content. Chinese and Western medicine can naturally cooperate with each other. It is not that Mr. Sun does not understand a lot of knowledge, but that he does not describe and describe it in such a systematic way.
Summarize.
Doctor Sun put down the book in his hand, looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "Have you really thought about giving so many medical books to the old doctor?"
Lin Wanwan nodded without hesitation: "I've thought about it."
"Good." The old immortal said with tears in his eyes, "My master is so talented. These volumes of medical books are unique in their own way. They have novel viewpoints, explain profound things in simple terms, and are written straightforwardly. They can be written as separate books. Reading these books today is better than ten years of studying and studying, and I have gained
It is of great benefit to tell the world that this is my teacher."
Yesterday, when Lin Wanwan said that there was a medical book presented to her, the old man only thought that she had one or two secret recipes in her hand, so he would include them in his thousand-gold recipe. But today, when I saw it, it was not as simple as a secret recipe. It was simply a medical masterpiece.
!
Lin Wanwan was originally sitting on her knees crookedly, but after hearing this, she quickly sat upright and said in surprise: "My ancestors have serious words."
There is no problem at all in saying that Sun Simiao is the ancestor of doctors in the world.
Sun Shenxian regained his emotions, looked at Lin Wanwan and said: "These medical experts will engrave and pass it down, are you really willing to do it?"
Lin Wanwan nodded heavily and said: "If you're willing to give up, the best destination for these books is in the hands of our ancestors. Whether they are engraved or kept privately, I have no objection."
"Your surname is Lin?"
"Yes, I'm Hou Tao, Lin's Wanwan."
"Wanwan, do you know how great a contribution this can make? With these medical books, I don't know how many people in the world will be able to live because of them."
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows were curved, and she accepted the compliment calmly.
"Didn't your honorable master leave any name behind?"
"No." Lin Wanwan shook her head, suddenly thought of something, and said quickly, "Oh, the master calls himself Qingshan layman."
"The handwriting in these medical books is quite rough, isn't it the master's own handwriting?"
"It's not true. I and some slaves copied these. The original scroll was originally placed in the study, but it was swept away by the flash flood and nothing was left. But because I read it myself, I kept it, so it was preserved.
.”
"Hey, what a pity! What a blessing!" Sun Shenxian took out a jade sign from his arms and said, "Wanwan, if anything happens in the future, take this jade sign and go to Chang'an to find the old Taoist."
"Thank you, ancestor." Lin Wanwan hurriedly knelt down, put her head on the mat, stretched out her hands and took it respectfully.
Oops! After Xiao Chong hugged another thigh!
In Lin Wanwan's heart, this thigh is even thicker than the emperor! In the past, she worshiped in the temple, but now she worships the real person.
Meeting Sun Simiao gave Lin Wanwan great inner satisfaction. Being able to sit and talk with such a great doctor who saved countless lives in his life, and receive a few words of praise from him, what regrets do she have in life?
Then Sun Simiao tested Lin Wanwan on some basics of traditional Chinese medicine, such as some knowledge in "Su Wen".
Lin Wanwan was ashamed. The barefoot doctor's manual she taught herself was so simple and straightforward that she could understand it as long as she could read. How could she possibly read such a classical Chinese medical book like Su Wen?
The learning of traditional Chinese medicine is definitely much slower than that of western medicine. Western medicine can quickly become a barefoot doctor by relying on medical books and ready-made medicines. However, traditional Chinese medicine requires real accumulation and personal teaching by teachers.
Listening to Lin Wanwan's stumbling answer, Sun Shenxian shook his head slightly. This young disciple has not mastered all the master's skills. They are all superficial and impetuous skills.
