We must turn over the heavy road of famous old Chinese medicine practitioners, study medicine in middle age, have no family background, study hard as a partner, and become a generation of old Mr. Yue Meizhong who is the first in academic self-report. In Yue Lao's early self-study bibliography, there is a book "Medical Enthusiasm to Learn from the West". And Yue Lao's article is one of the advantages that prompted me to read this book.
In addition to the help mentioned above, I also read the preface of Master Zhang's Journey to the West in the follow-up diagnosis diary, saying that "life has big wishes, and then great achievements." A cold Confucian, crouching in the grass, doesn't matter what achievements he makes, and his will can't be said to be nothing. " After reading it, it lingered in my mind for a long time. Yes, those who made great achievements in ancient times were not only talented people, but also determined to persevere. The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine promotes the education of emergency order and creates a precedent for hospitals, but the unfinished business of the ancients has made Chinese medicine shine. Mr. Shoufu's ambition is not lofty. However, we should be virtuous, wise and virtuous. Although we are fundamentally stupid, we should also have the determination to meet difficulties! This should be regarded as touching my heart. I decided to read this book, which is the best in the world.
I remember listening to Xu Wenbing, the teacher, when explaining the article "A Brief Introduction to the Golden Chamber of Huangdi Neijing", saying that the ancients often hid the masterpieces handed down from ancient times in the synopsis of the Golden Chamber, and later generations of scholars who wanted to see such classics would solemnly bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pray to calm down, one out of sincere respect, and the other out of praying for the blessing of the gods, so as to truly understand the meaning of the sages. Although it is not as good as Neijing, I regard it as a golden key to guide me to the medical hall. On the morning when I decided to start reading, I also imitated the appearance of ancient scholars. After getting up and washing, I knelt down and read the Heart Sutra seven times, and then I read the vows three times. Finally, I opened this heavy book with sufficient resources such as good roots, blessings and karma.
The Journey to the West's book is divided into seven periods. The first three periods are miscellaneous diseases in internal medicine, the fourth period is lectures on drugs, the fifth period is various medical theories and letters and telegrams, the sixth period is medical records and poems, and the seventh period is lectures on febrile diseases.
In order to relieve fatigue, I read the above four parts at the same time, and each part was read in order from beginning to end. When I read the first three issues, I first read Mr. Shoufu's prescriptions about various internal diseases. To tell the truth, it was a heartfelt encounter, and I felt that it was the medical book I had been looking for for for a long time. One of the reasons is that I found several medical records of contemporary famous doctors and university editions of Internal Medicine and Prescription Science in an attempt to study them seriously, but I always feel that there are always some shortcomings in the current medical textbooks-these books either discuss diseases in detail and explain prescriptions in detail, such as the books of Internal Medicine; Or the analysis of the prescription is very detailed, but the diseases mentioned in the prescription are not explained. It doesn't matter whether the textbook is right or wrong, but even if I read these books together, there is still a prominent deficiency, that is, the analysis of pulse condition in modern books is extremely simple, often only one or two sentences, especially for prevarication. Open the "Yearning for the West", talk about miscellaneous diseases, start with the causes, and explain them in simple terms; Dialectical, four diagnoses, one by one; Prescription, detailed analysis and explanation. Isn't this the medical book I've been looking for for for a long time?
The second reason is that I don't know when I began to feel that when reading books in vernacular Chinese, my thoughts are always divergent and it is difficult to concentrate, while works in classical Chinese, which are concise and clear, can be read with relish. However, the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine are obscure and difficult to explore directly. Mr. Shoufu's book, however, has elegant words, simple meaning and simple reasoning. It is just a compromise, and it feels a sense of intimacy between language and words when reading it.
It is with this admiration and cordial mood from beginning to end that I worked tirelessly all day to finish reading Mr. Shoufu's book in 16 days. Although many valuable ideas of the master can not be spent, I still feel that I have benefited a lot. I recorded them as follows:
1, follow the ancient times without mud, refer to the west and trace the source.
The so-called respect for the ancient times means that Mr. Wang's analysis of pathology will inevitably lead to internal and external difficulties, and his theory of medicinal properties is based on this classic. For example, among the three internal and external stroke prescriptions, only a few words in Neijing are quoted, which makes it clear that Hejian's treatment of wind belongs to the wind of qi stagnation, Dongyuan's treatment of wind belongs to the wind of cerebral anemia, and Danxi's treatment of wind belongs to the wind of phlegm heat, indicating that all families can find scriptures, and they are strategically located and dignified.
For another example, in the fifth period, it was not difficult to communicate between China and the West. The atmospheric interpretation and the triple energizer exam were all based on Neijing, and Western learning proved each other and even quoted Buddhist classics. I deeply feel that the more comprehensive and profound Mr. Wang's academic thought is, the deeper its connotation will be.
The so-called "forgetting the past" means that Mr. Wang is well versed in the classic tradition, which is dialectically inseparable from the ancestral method of the six classics and eight outlines of the ancient saints, but he will change and extend it on the premise of not wanting to violate the ancient saints' thought.
For example, Mr. Wang's most commonly used "White Tiger Soup" often uses Scrophularia instead of Anemarrhena asphodeloides and yam instead of japonica rice. Yam not only nourishes stomach qi, but also is slimy than stalk, which keeps the pungent and cool taste of medium-burnt gypsum for a longer time and melts the heat of Yangming. Scrophularia is cool. If it is used on parturient, it is said in the classics that Scrophularia can cure lactation, but Anemarrhena asphodeloides has no such effect.
For example, Mahuang soup, Mr. Wang often adds mint, and even uses mint instead of ephedra. Mr. Wang thinks that mint and ephedra have the same effect of relieving exterior syndrome by warming, so it should be used. Zhongjing is not used because it is not included in the classics, but the prescription of learning classics can't stick to its dosage and specific medicine, because people's physical strength is different, and there are also differences in temperature and coldness between the north and the south. The idea is right, and the medicine should be tailored to local conditions.
I remember a friend once reminded me not to read Mr. Shoufu's book because it was too complicated to follow the scriptures. You didn't know until you read the book. You didn't see what you heard. You just guessed whether it was necessary. Mr. Wang is known as the first person who combines traditional Chinese and western medicine, which is related to his profound knowledge of tracing the source and respecting the classics of law.
2, the use of drugs is not much, accurate syndrome differentiation is the most critical, and combined medication makes up for enhanced efficacy. Throughout the book, Mr. Shoufu's prescriptions are generally six or seven flavors, at most eleven or two flavors. There are few kinds of drugs involved in the book, which are basically included in the fourth issue of more than 70 kinds of drugs lecture notes. For example, blindly use Cornus officinalis as a heavy agent to fix the emergency; Rust and wormwood can treat syncope caused by cerebral congestion; Gypsum and talc are used to treat fever complicated with amenorrhea: Even dizziness caused by cerebral congestion is similar to hypertension now, generally, ochre can be used to reduce adverse reactions, white peony can soften the liver, and a small amount of drugs can be added to increase or decrease deficiency, excess, cold and heat, which will never be like the situation of dozens of drugs.
I think the key for Mr. Wang to use drugs effectively is dialectical accuracy and wonderful combination of drugs. To be fair, I will read Mr. Wang's medical record and prescribe medicine for the brain according to symptoms or pulse conditions. Although it can also contain several medicines prescribed by Mr. Wang, the dosage is not so large. The reason is that my prescription is completely a conditioned reflex reaction symptom, lacking a detailed analysis of the cause, so I lack a confident diagnosis. In this case, I need to add more drugs to cope with a week.
All, but dare not increase the dose to reach the lesion. It is really difficult to treat a disease, not in medication, but in syndrome differentiation. The so-called drug combination means that Mr. Wang often uses several drugs in the prescription to combine with each other and produce new effects. For example, peony tastes bitter, licorice tastes sweet, and the combination of bitterness and sweetness can achieve the effect of ginseng. Another example is Jiaji Hetu. If there are sour and sweet medicines in the prescription, they can also tonify the spleen together.
3. The climate characteristics of the times will affect the style of doctors' medication, and the theory of luck can communicate the medical thoughts of past dynasties. The climatic characteristics of the times mainly refer to five movements and six qi. Mr. Wang's book probably talks about strange dysentery in the recipe for treating dysentery, citing two such serious diseases at the same time when the fever is heavy in one year, and speculating that this disease is really related to the climate. In Medical Records of Epidemic Febrile Diseases, the theory of luck is also used to analyze the condition of several patients. The rest of the place is very lucky.
Less, but it inspires me a lot. Throughout the book, although miscellaneous diseases are almost all-encompassing, the proportion of space in the diseases of febrile diseases is particularly heavy. No matter dysentery, cholera and malaria, or gynecological articles, there are many symptoms of fever, all of which are solved by plasters, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Radix Rehmanniae and other drugs. Is this related to the climate of Mr. Wang's time, which is more likely to cause febrile diseases?
I remember Mr. Xu Wenbing said when introducing the origin of his teacher that by calculating the number of years of cadres and branches, we can simply know the zodiac signs of historical figures, and complicated ones can calculate the five movements and six qi, the poor numerology and five elements, the types and years of the ups and downs of the five internal organs, and the susceptibility to illness. Zhang Xichun was born in Geng Shennian. He is a monkey, and his annuity is so lucky. He died in Gui You, which is beyond the reach of a year. Hawkin, it's hard. At the age of 74.
Xu teacher also said, "Traditional Chinese medicine originated from the Yellow Emperor of Fuxi Shennong, with one ancestor and many branches, and then formed various schools. This is a feature of Chinese medicine, not a shortcoming. Any attempt to standardize and unify the thoughts and actions of Chinese medicine is crazy, stupid and futile. "
Why can different schools coexist and have different medication styles, but they can cure the same diseases at the same time? It is speculated that the climatic characteristics of different times may be a major factor that causes different treatment methods for the same disease, so the formation of school branches seems to be inevitable in the historical environment. Learning the five movements and six gods should help us better understand the theoretical ideas of various schools in history. If we just argue about the right or wrong of reading, it should be unnecessary, because these famous historical figures have cured millions of people and can stand the postgraduate entrance examination of ordinary people at that time.
4, to study medicine, you must first learn the soul of medicine. I remember a friend told me that Mr. Huai Jin, an old man from the south of China, had learned the three major religions of economy and trade. If he studies medicine, it's just a matter of memorizing some medicine. It is true that since ancient times, people with lofty ideals have put good doctors and good looks together. Mr. Zhang Taiyan, a revolutionary, is not only a master of Chinese studies, but also proficient in medicine. The Buddha never used medicine to treat diseases, but he was respected as a great doctor. Because those who speak well of heaven have to be tested by others, and those who speak well of the past have to conform to the present, medical science and justice ethics are inseparable.
In Neijing, Chinese medicine is divided into three categories, namely, governing the country with medicine, treating people with Chinese medicine and treating diseases with inferior medicine. As a doctor, if you just define yourself as a semi-businessman who takes medicine for doctors and gets a commission, it is really more stupid than those who buy gifts and return pearls. In the process of learning the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, I am constantly influenced by the personality charm of famous doctors in history, in order to cultivate our integrity and integrity, hoping to improve my personality one day and influence my hometown with my own virtue for generations to come. This is a world interest of Chinese medicine, seeking fame and eternal life. In modern history, Mr. Shoufu's combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine promoted the education of first aid order and set a precedent for hospitals. Unexpectedly, he did what the ancients did not finish. When studying the relationship between heaven and man, it is said that Lu and Tang Rongchuan of his contemporaries have done it, and Pu Fuzhou and Hu Xishu have done it since the founding of the People's Republic of China. They are the backbone of China people in Lu Xun's works, and the direction that our younger generation of students strive to pursue!
