In 1750, Qianlong was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor was so frightened that he trembled. When Qianlong heard this, he laughed, "Reward!" Reward! ”
Huang Yuanyu, this is a prodigy born in a scholarly family, he has a gentle temperament and a brilliant mind. At the age of 18, Huang Yuanyu showed off his talent in high school and was envied and admired by relatives and friends.
In that era, the high school show was a very rare achievement, and Huang Yuanyu became the pride of his parents and the star of tomorrow in the eyes of his neighbors.
Who knew that the good times would not last long, at the age of 30, Huang Yuanyu was accidentally infected with an eye disease. At first, he didn't care and continued to work hard to prepare for the imperial examination. However, his condition became more and more serious, and he had no choice but to suspend his studies and seek medical treatment.
The doctors in this county could not cure Huang Yuanyu's eye disease, and many prescriptions were not only ineffective, but also aggravated the condition.
With nothing else to do, Huang Yuanyu's father took him to a neighboring county to seek medical treatment, but the quack doctors there prescribed many wrong prescriptions, resulting in Huang Yuanyu's complete blindness and his dream of serving the country was shattered.
Huang Yuanyu, who had suffered a huge blow to his spirit, collapsed and struggled in the dark. His relatives advised him not to give up and to continue to work hard to live.
Huang Yuanyu gradually woke up to the fact that after losing his eyesight, he had to re-examine his life and start anew. After careful consideration, Huang Yuanyu decided to change his career to study medicine and use his ingenuity to help more patients.
With his extraordinary understanding, Huang Yuanyu made great progress in medical skills in just a few years. Once, the twins of the county magistrate suddenly contracted smallpox and were in critical condition. Zhixian sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail, and finally found Huang Yuanyu.
After Huang Yuanyu pondered, he let the twins lie naked in the thick snow outside. The crowd was puzzled, but they could only listen.
It didn't take long for the twins to be miraculously cured, except for the elder brother's left eyesight. The magistrate was very grateful to Huang Yuanyu and spread the magic of his medical skills.
Huang Yuanyu's medical skills gradually became famous in the local area, and many patients came to seek medical treatment. In order to collect more abundant medical experience and improve his medical skills, Huang Yuanyu began to practice medicine everywhere.
One year, during the Spring Festival, Huang Yuanyu came to the capital to catch the market. At this time in the palace, Emperor Qianlong was suffering from a strange disease, and the imperial doctors were helpless. A eunuch suggested summoning Huang Yuanyu to the palace for treatment.
At first, Qianlong set up a temptation and sent a palace maid to pretend to be herself to let Huang Yuanyu diagnose the pulse. Huang Yuanyu immediately saw through this pretend, and said in public, "It's hopeless, the dragon body has become a phoenix body." Qianlong saw that he was not afraid of power and admired him very much.
After officially diagnosing Qianlong's pulse, Huang Yuanyu judged that this was caused by drug poison caused by long-term medication. He prescribed antidote and cure for Qianlong, and soon the emperor's condition improved. Huang Yuanyu was named the imperial doctor for this reason and was greatly rewarded.
But he doesn't like officialdom life, and he is tired of dealing with the hypocrisy and grievances of the powerful. Soon, Huang Yuanyu asked Qianlong to let him leave the capital and return to his hometown to visit relatives and recuperate.
Qianlong admired him very much, not only agreed to his resignation and return to his hometown, but also personally inscribed his medical book "Miaowu Qihuang" as a reward.
After returning to his hometown, Huang Yuanyu lived a life of pure heart and few desires. He devoted himself to the compilation of medical books, hoping to correct the mistakes of his predecessors in medical books and prevent future generations from repeating his own tragedy.
Huang Yuanyu summed up decades of medical experience and compiled 98 volumes of medical books with nearly 100,000 words, which can be described as a medical treasure. But such hard work also consumed most of his energy, and at the age of 54, Huang Yuanyu died of illness in his hometown.
Huang Yuanyu has had ups and downs in his life, but he has always maintained an optimistic and enterprising attitude. Regained his strength from the blow of blindness, constantly improved his medical skills, and saw the cold state of the Qing Dynasty in the ups and downs of officialdom.
His perseverance and innovative spirit set a new example for future generations of doctors. Those treasures of medical books have also become the most valuable wealth he left to future generations.
