In "Journey to the West", the four masters and apprentices came to Zhu Ziguo after many hardships, and at this time, the king of Zhu Ziguo was seriously ill and could not meet the king, and Goku held several thin threads to diagnose the king's condition from a distance. In the story, Sun Wukong has great supernatural powers, and it is credible to be able to see a doctor in this wonderful way, but there are often scenes of suspense diagnosis in costume TV series.
In fact, it is very likely that the suspension silk diagnosis pulse is accurate, because in history, this method was founded by the medicine king Sun Simiao, when the eldest grandson empress was seriously ill, and the imperial doctors had no way, and Sun Simiao appeared in thick ink. However, in ancient times, he paid attention to the fact that men and women were not intimate, and he was not good at directly contacting the empress dowager, so he used this method that could eliminate contact, and after consulting and prescribing medicine, the empress dowager was indeed well.
From this incident, we can see that Sun Simiao's miraculous powers are vast, but before his death, such a divine doctor actually gave thousands of instructions to his disciples to destroy a prescription recorded in his writings.
Born in 541, Sun Simiao was frail and sickly since childhood, and often had to pay for a doctor, so the family could not make ends meet. In order not to waste money, the young Sun Simiao secretly made up his mind to pursue a career in the medical industry. Sun Simiao is a very persevering person, he decided to study medicine, he read every day, and by the age of 18, he can carry a medicine box to the villagers to see a doctor.
In 581, the Sui Dynasty ended the era of frequent wars and chaos and entered the period of great unification, and Sun Simiao decided to go to seclusion in the Taibai Mountains. At the age of forty, he spent all his days in various medical techniques and accumulated a lot of experience in curing diseases, so he decided to write down his medical ideas, and two medical works, "Thousand Golden Formulas" and "Thousand Golden Wings Square", appeared in the world, and the part of the formula that he could not put down before his death was recorded in the "Thousand Golden Formulas".
Originally, Sun Simiao thought that its efficacy was very magical, and wrote down its many effects in medicine, such as asthma, irregularities in the five organs, indigestion and so on. Those who know something about Wushishan should know that this is a recipe that was often taken by celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, who regarded it as spiritual food and flourished after each consumption.
However, Sun Simiao found that it is actually a kind of "poison", which can make people flutter after taking it, and they don't know what night it is, and may even hallucinate. In addition, it will also be addictive, resulting in the end of "not eating for a day, such as every three autumns", life will be greatly affected, people's temperament will become violent, and even poisoned to death.
Knowing that Wushishan was so harmful, Sun Simiao shuddered, and whenever he encountered and explained the prescription to people, he would emphasize the harm of Wushishan. In order not to let the five stones scatter for a thousand years, in 682, when he died, he could not let go of his heart, and repeatedly instructed his disciples to destroy the prescription. Fortunately, posterity knows the harm of the five stones, and it is not regarded as a life-saving miracle drug as it was during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and this prescription did not harm many people in the end.
"The healer has a benevolent heart and compassion for the world. The hanging pot is light on self-interest, and virtue is better than gold", Hu Bingyan's poem aptly praises Sun Simiao, an old man who lived to the age of 142, put people's lives in the supreme position, he dared to admit the mistakes of the chinese medicine prescription in books, and also tried to let everyone know its harm, such a doctor's benevolence is worthy of our admiration.
