In the medical community, Zhang Zhongjing has this evaluation: establish a life for the heavens and the earth, and open up peace for the world for the sake of the saints and the extinction of learning. As a big name in the field of Chinese medicine, Zhongsheng's contribution to Chinese medicine is roughly equivalent to the value of Newton Einstein's piece of physics.
Regarding the story of Zhang Zhongjing, we do not know a few. In addition to being interested in the content of the story itself, the author always thinks of the unsatisfactory efforts of the ancestors and his loneliness beyond the times, which no one can match.
In the eyes of everyone, the wealth that Zhang Zhongjing really left us is not just a book of "Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases". This is one of the works of traditional Chinese medicine, the main basic course offered by Chinese traditional Chinese medicine schools, and laying the theoretical foundation of science, law, prescription and medicine.
In addition, the most important thing Zhang Zhongjing left behind was dialectical governance. How to use the Jingfang? How to add and subtract with the meridian? On this basis, people slowly become less bound and transgressive. What should not be said, really have to study hard.
I thought that Zhang Zhongjing's status would continue like this, who ever wanted to follow the development of the times, Zhang Zhongjing slowly got people's doubts. Some say that he does not exist, and some say that his medical level is not high, including the "medicine king" Sun Simiao.
As a master of Tang Dynasty medical techniques, Sun Simiao obviously has his own "two brushes". In particular, the "Qianjin Fang" compiled by Sun Simiao has become an important teaching material and basis for the contemporary Chinese medicine community, and has a strong guiding significance.
Of course, Sun Simiao did not question Zhang Zhongjing's lineage, nor did he question his medical skills, but only because he invented a medicine called "Five Stones Scatter". Didn't this medicine save a lot of people? Why did Sun Simiao insist on resisting?
From the moment it appeared, the five stones were only for the gain of typhoid patients. Zhang Zhongjing synthesized a chinese medicine powder through five kinds of stone stalactite, purple quartz, white quartz and other stone medicine ingredients, and the complex and cumbersome manufacturing process made many people who wanted to obtain it feel powerless.
Many people may wonder, does typhoid fever still need to be treated in this way? In the years when productivity was not developed, as long as people had typhoid fever, it meant death. Although typhoid fever is not the main cause, it can cause a variety of infectious diseases in the body, such as dysentery.
This medicine appeared very early, but under the concoction of Zhang Zhongjing, people found that its efficacy was not ordinary, and many people were saved during the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the development of the times, people have discovered another effect of the five stones - confusing nerves.
With the prevalence of Taoist culture, many people began to indulge in the cultivation of immortal elixirs. Through different measurement and allocation, try to achieve the effect of immortality. Hypersensitivity, hot and dry body, confusing, but from a professional point of view, this is called chronic poisoning.
At that time, people's understanding of the five stones was very limited, and many people thought that this was the magic elixir and began to buy it in large quantities. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and more and more people are needed, which led to a soaring price of five stones, and later became a symbol of status.
Many folk histories also record such a story: during the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the five stones became fashionable, and all the Taoist monks rushed to take it. The gods were cheerful, physically enhanced, and white and delicate, until the Tang Dynasty, they were never interrupted for hundreds of years.
As a medicine king, he had to do a different job, and when everyone was chasing the five stones, Sun Simiao began to study the five stones. In his opinion, it is a three-point poison of the drug, and the side effects of the five stones are just not yet discovered.
Sun Simiao took out all his belongings and bought a certain number of five stones. In addition to his mental pleasure, he found himself unable to control himself in the process and often wanted to attack others. At the same time, the whole person's weight plummeted, is this related to taking five stones?
After in-depth experimental comparison, Sun Simiao found that the efficacy of different doses of five stones was completely different. It can make people's illness better or heal, but this spiritual pleasure makes it difficult for many people to refuse, and the latter is bound to become the choice of many people.
Sun Simiao began to contact private pharmacists, hoping that they could unite with him to resist the emergence of this drug. But it has been popular in people's homes for hundreds of years, and it is not enough to replace Wushishan with this effort alone.
Many people did not pass down this formula in order to make a profit, and Sun Simiao began to look for these formulas everywhere and burn them. By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, this drug was basically rare, and at the end of the period, Wushishan was completely extinct.
This is also what many people in contemporary times are curious about, Zhang Zhongjing's creation of the five stones of the effect is so prominent, why are many medical scientists no longer using it? Because of the appearance of Sun Simiao, Wushishan was strongly resisted and could only be lost.
As a bystander, we cannot deny Zhang Zhongjing's ability, because his original intentions are good and he has no harmful intentions. It was only by chance that people discovered another effect of the five stones, but the damage to people's bodies was worth weighing.
Watching so many people die in pursuit of something unrealistic, it is obvious that their hearts do not want to see this situation happen. In this case, the doctor Sun Simiao once again practiced the original intention of being a doctor - to resolutely resist the five stones.
Whether it is Zhang Zhongjing or Sun Simiao, they all show the medical ethics of ancient healers to the fullest. From theory to practice, and then from practical experience to extract new medical research results, all have one purpose: to alleviate the pain brought by diseases to the world.
In the view of Zogu Jun, Cheng Shen's inner vision is like a look, the abundance is not obscure, and today's social materialism is rampant, which is a great challenge for contemporary doctors. I hope that people can keep their original intentions and the whole world will be better because of it.
