In many court dramas, everyone can see the figure of the imperial doctor. In fact, the imperial doctor was a physician in ancient China who specialized in treating the diseases of the emperor and his relatives, and was one of the titles of the doctor's position under the ancient state system.
According to the records of the Tai Hospital in the "Qing History Manuscript and Official Records", the doctors of the Tai Hospital are divided into four levels, and the first class is called "Imperial Doctor".
In the eyes of many people, the imperial doctors are on high, and it is difficult for the small people in the city to intersect with them. However, there is an imperial doctor who is more special, he is not only the imperial doctor of the last emperor Puyi, but also a good folk doctor who saves people in the world. He is well known for his outstanding contributions, and his experience and achievements have been included in the "Biography of Famous Chinese Doctors and Contemporary Volumes".
He was the last surviving imperial physician in China, practicing medicine after 28 years of imprisonment, and the secret recipe was handed over to the state free of charge. Who is he? What happened to him, let's briefly describe the experience of this legendary imperial doctor.
This imperial doctor, named Aisin Kyora Parrot Peng.
According to the records in the "Biography of Famous Chinese Doctors and Contemporary Volumes", we can see the introduction of Aixin Jueluo Parrot Lie Peng: Ai Xin Jue Luo Parrot Lie Peng, Manchu, Liaoning Qingyuan people, descendants of Tabai, the sixth son of Qing Taizu NurHaci, whose family lineage is hereditary Qing Dynasty imperial doctor...
Born in the fifth year of the Republic of China, Parrot Lie is considered to be a royal clan relative of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, but he already belongs to the Distant Branch Clan. Tabai made some military achievements in his early years, and after entering the customs, he also received the title of auxiliary general.
Thereafter, his descendants gradually descended to general Feng'en. Due to the remoteness of the relationship with the emperor, the descendants of Tabai did not get involved in politics too much, and many descendants later turned to medicine, becoming a hereditary imperial physician family and mastering a large number of precious Qing palace secret recipes.
At the age of eleven, he was admitted to the Manchu Weicheng Middle School in Shenyang, and in the same year, through the recommendation of his clan, he studied Chinese medicine with his uncle Ai Xinjueluo Shutang while reading middle school, and he also mastered a variety of court remedies in the Qing Palace during the 300 years, many of which were ancestral secret recipes.
At the age of twenty, he was admitted to the Harbin School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the age of twenty-four, Parrot graduated from school, and he thought of saving the world, but unfortunately he was arrested by the Japanese. At the age of twenty-five, he was summoned to the puppet state of Manchukuo and served as a health physician for puyi, the last emperor.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, although Puyi said that his status was not as good as in the past, he was still the nominal emperor, so the parrot with superb medical skills also became a "royal doctor" and also obtained the rank of major military doctor.
Such days were not until the end of World War II, when the "Kant Emperor" Puyi was captured by the Soviet army, and the people who had originally served around Puyi took advantage of the chaos to go their separate ways, and Parrot Lie also returned to his hometown in the process.
However, after the founding of the country, Parrot Lie was arrested and imprisoned for serving a pseudo-court, and he had just turned 35 years old this year.
In prison, Parrot Lie is not idle, he often diagnoses and treats his comrades-in-arms, and because of this, he has made a lot of friends, Pu Jie and Parrot Lie's relationship is also very good, before he was released from prison, Pu Jie also encouraged him to say: "Behave positively, you can still be a good doctor when you go out." Because of this layer of friendship, Parrot Lie often went to Beijing to help Pu Jie's wife treat her illness.
It was exactly twenty-eight years after he was imprisoned that Parrot was granted amnesty. The imperial physician of the last emperor Puyi finally gained a new life and became an ordinary citizen of the People's Republic.
After the amnesty, Parrot Lie was already full of white hair, but he still did not forget his original intention of studying medicine. He has opened private clinics in Shenyang, Benxi and other places, on the one hand, he used the secret recipe of the court to diagnose and treat diseases for the people, on the other hand, combined with his own clinical practice experience, excavated and sorted out special prescriptions, and he devoted himself to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine. Over the years, he has cured many intractable diseases as well as patients with incurable diseases.
What is even more valuable is that Parrot Lie not only has no complaints about the country, but also takes the initiative to contribute dozens of selected palace secret recipes, and he has repeatedly helped pharmaceutical factories inside and outside the province to modify the ratio of prescriptions for free.
Parrot Also dedicated the special prescription for the treatment of rheumatism and rheumatoid diseases, "Wind Chasing Liquid", to Fushun Huirong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. free of charge.
In the same year, he once again dedicated "Couple Music" to Huirong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. When the manufacturer wanted to give him a considerable reward fee, he politely declined, saying that he would continue to contribute to the health of his hometown fathers and elders in his lifetime.
He successively took out his treasured Qing Palace secret recipes and let Fushun Huirong Pharmaceutical Company produce them, only to cure the world's patients and make the people's lives healthy.
Today, as the last imperial doctor in Chinese history, Ai Xin Jueluo Parrot Peng is more than a hundred years old, and his life has had countless difficulties and ups and downs, but he has never given up his dedication to medical cause. As for how many lives this old man saved in his lifetime, we can't count the specific numbers, we can only know that as a healer, he practiced medicine and helped the world, and his merits were immeasurable, worthy of the highest praise of the Chinese people!
