"Even if you win the competition, or you really become the best in the world one day, if you want to embellish your appearance, you might as well ask me to write the subtitles. Your calligraphy skills will definitely be higher than the calligraphy hanging on it now." After saying this.
, Luo Ziling once again appreciated what he had just written with great satisfaction, and then put down the pen.
Because he was writing with a bit of anger, Luo Ziling's handwriting was even better than usual. Even he himself was very satisfied after reading it.
If there was no one else and Yang Qingyin was standing next to him, he would definitely point at the words and brag to Yang Qingyin.
Although he didn't brag about himself today, he still looked quite proud after putting down his pen.
"Boy from the Luo family, don't get carried away just because you can write a few words." Of course, Gu Jian'an would not admit that Luo Ziling's calligraphy was better than his. After carefully looking at what Luo Ziling had written in running script, he said with disdain
Said: "It's just superficial. I hope your stitching skills won't disappoint."
With that said, he shouted to Gu Changwei: "Please come out of our bronze man."
Luo Ziling's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Gu Jian'an wanted to invite bronze men.
Could it be that Gu Jianan has an acupuncture bronze man here?
Luo Ziling learned from his grandfather's words and after checking some information that during the Song Dynasty, the famous medical scientist Wang Wei was very researched on acupuncture. He compiled the "Tongren Acupoint Acupuncture Illustrated Book" based on the achievements of his predecessors, and enshrined it in the book of Song Renzong
Zhao Zhen ordered two acupuncture bronze figures to be made.
The "Bronze Figure of Acupuncture and Moxibustion on the Acupoints of the Bronze Man" is naturally one of the most famous medical classics related to acupuncture treatment in ancient times, but the most magical thing is the two acupuncture bronze figures made under Wang Weiyi's personal supervision.
The Acupuncture Bronze Man, also known as the "Tian Sheng Bronze Man", is an acupuncture model cast from fine copper. The body shape is the same as that of a normal adult man. The outer shell is composed of two front and back pieces, with built-in organs. The surface is engraved with the human hand, three yang and other ten figures.
There are four meridians and 657 acupoints. The names of the acupuncture points are marked next to them. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and can be used for teaching and assessment.
When using it, yellow wax is painted on the surface of the copper figure, the holes are blocked, and water or mercury is injected into the body. When the examinee or apprentice selects the acupuncture points and inserts the needle, if the acupuncture point is selected accurately, after the acupoint is pricked, the mercury or mercury will
The liquid will flow out from the acupuncture point. If the acupoint is not punctured, that is, the acupoint is selected incorrectly, no liquid will flow out, and even the needle cannot penetrate.
These two bronze figures are used in conjunction with the "Bronze Figures of Acupuncture and Moxibustion", which is a classic textbook for studying acupuncture universities.
There are two acupuncture bronze figures. After the casting was completed, they were placed in the Hanlin Medical Officials Academy and the Renji Hall of Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, the capital.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens invaded the south, and one of the bronze figures disappeared.
In the eighth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, as the meridians and acupuncture points of the bronze figure were blurred and difficult to identify, Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, ordered skilled craftsmen to copy them. Since then, the acupuncture bronze figure of the Song Dynasty has been lost to records and its whereabouts are unknown, even if it was later discovered
It has appeared before, but it was just a copy.
Luo Ziling has never seen the Tongren, but he has studied the book "The Tongren Acupoint Acupuncture Illustration" since he was a child. He did not use the Tongren for teaching. This is Luo Ziling's regret and Luo Liansheng's regret.
Luo Liansheng regretted that he could not own a bronze figure, and also regretted that he could not make a bronze figure.
Luo Ziling didn't know if what Gu Jian'an said about "inviting the bronze man" was to bring the acupuncture bronze man out to compete.
In Luo Ziling's curiosity, Gu Changwei directed several people around him to move a statue covered with red cloth from the next room.
Wu Hongwei had heard about the acupuncture bronze figure, but Wang Tongshan and Yang Qingyin, who were not medical students, had not heard of it. They did not even know the significance of the acupuncture bronze figure. Therefore, Gu Changwei commanded in a very respectful manner.
When the men placed the statue in the reception room, they didn't react much.
After placing the statue in place, Gu Jianan personally lifted the red cloth covering his head.
The moment the red cloth was lifted, Luo Ziling and Wu Hongwei couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I believe Teacher Wu has heard of the Acupuncture Bronze Man, right?" Seeing Wu Hongwei and Luo Ziling's expressions change, Gu Jian'an was very proud. He ignored Wu Hongwei's reaction, but said to Luo Ziling with contempt: "I asked you back then.
Grandpa competed in acupuncture and staked the bronze statue. If he beat me, the bronze statue would belong to him. But old man Luo didn't have the confidence to compete with me. This bronze statue will always belong to me."
"But this is not a bronze figure from the Song Dynasty, nor is it an imitation of the Tiansheng bronze figure from the Ming Dynasty, but something made by later generations." Luo Ziling stepped forward, observed it carefully, and said to Gu Jian'an: "So
, the cultural relic collection value of this bronze man is not very high.”
"But the actual use is very great, right?" Gu Jian'an did not deny Luo Ziling's words, he chuckled and said: "Because of this bronze figure, I have taught many disciples with outstanding acupuncture skills.
Chang Wei is one."
"Are you going to add this bronze man to the bet?" Luo Ziling looked at Gu Jian'an in surprise, "If you want to add this bronze man to the bet, I have to think about how to transport him away later."
Luo Ziling's arrogant words made Gu Jianan so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But what made him want to hit people even more was that Luo Ziling said something even more derogatory to him.
"Anyway, it's not very useful for you. Why don't you lose to me as a bet, and I can use the copper man to more and greater uses." Seeing that Gu Jian'an wanted to get angry, Luo Ziling ignored it and just said lightly.
Then he added: "I can also add something to your bet that interests you. It is a prescription book compiled by my grandfather but not officially named."
"Luo Ziling, don't bully others too much," Gu Changwei couldn't help it. Seeing that his grandfather was very angry, he couldn't help but jump up and shouted angrily at Luo Ziling: "This is the heirloom of our Gu family, isn't it?
The prescription you made up is comparable. You have gone too far and have repeatedly belittled us. If you dare to do this again, don't blame us for not giving you face."
But what was surprising was that Gu Jianan was not angry. Instead, after a strange look appeared on his face, he asked in a cold voice: "Old Luo's prescription is on you?"
"Of course," Luo Ziling said, taking out a thread-bound book from his pocket, "Here it is."
"Show it to me!" Gu Jian'an extended his hand to Luo Ziling, "I want to see the authenticity."
"Impossible," Luo Ziling refused directly and put the thick book into his pocket. "If you beat me, this prescription book will be yours. You can read it however you want. But before you beat me,
, you have no chance to read the contents. If you suspect that this prescription book is fake, that is your freedom, and I will not force you to believe it."
