In addition to Li Shizhen, Wu Youke, Wan Quan, Chen Shigong, etc., there was also a famous medical scientist named Dongsu, alias Sun Yikui, who gave birth to a child. Sun Yikui lived from Jiajing to Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and was a native of Xiuning County, Anhui Province.
Sun Yikui is Wang Shishan's second disciple, he is very smart, diligent and studious, and in order to visit famous teachers, he has traveled to Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, constantly exploring the dark and searching for curiosities, learning from others, not only increasing the experience of curing diseases and saving people, but also improving academic theories. Moreover, he has a deep research on theories such as Sanjiao and Lifegate, and has unique insights, which can tell people to live and die, and has a lot of experience and fame!
Sun Yikui once listened to his father's words and went to Zhejiang to do business, and by chance met a Taoist priest with superb medical skills, who passed on a book to him. Sun Yikui read it carefully, and every time he used his prescription, it had a miraculous effect, so he began to learn Xi medical skills.
Sun Yikui not only familiarized himself with the books handed down to him by Taoist priests, but also studied the classics of various famous masters such as "The Book of Difficulty", "Lingshu" and "Suwen" day and night, regardless of cold or summer. In addition, Sun Yikui also touched on the relevant parts of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism and medicine. After three years Xi of studying, he believes that it is better to "live and peep" than to "inquire widely and look far". So, he left his hometown and began to travel, constantly looking for famous teachers, on the way to find teachers, but also practiced medicine to help the world, and later followed Mr. Huang Gutan, a native of Huizhou, to learn Xi.
Huang Gutan's medical skills are also very superb, Sun Yikui has benefited a lot from medical theory and clinical diagnosis and treatment, and has made great achievements in academic experience.
Sun Yikui also put forward the theory of "life gate dynamic qi", and the problem of life gate has become one of the hot spots of medical research at that time in the Ming Dynasty. Sun Yikui's first creation of the theory of "life gate dynamic qi" has the significance of the new era and also has very important theoretical value.
The dynamic qi of the life gate is the vitality of the human being, and it is the place of the Taiji in the human body, which is the body of the Taiji, which has the nature of "endless life", so it is "kinetic qi". Where is the body of Tai Chi? It is in the kidneys of the human being.
Sun Yikui made a Taiji diagram of the life gate with reference to the form of the Taiji diagram, and also noted that "the middle kinetic qi is Taiji". Sun Yikui regards the kinetic qi of life as the source of life and the root of the five internal organs.
Sun Yikui paid attention to the evidence when treating the disease, he said that if it could not be proven, it would not be limited to the size of the disease, and the lesion would have the same beginning and the same end, so the treatment method could not be set in stone. With this kind of thinking as a guide, he put forward the disadvantages of using some bitter cold and sweet medicines for internal injuries, blood syndromes, deficiency, fever, etc. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the protection of Sanjiao vitality and treatment methods, and he opposes the use of cold medicine to treat the body, and does not approve of the excessive use of soothing and spicy medicine.
Because Sun Yikui believes that cold medicine will damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in the loss of vitality, and spicy medicine will disperse qi and over-channeling, it will also hurt vitality. If the vitality of the life gate is insufficient, it will lead to the lack of vitality of the three cokes, resulting in problems such as the water valley does not melt and the turbidity is not distinguished.
Sun Yikui's cultural level is extremely high, and Sun Yikui's "Sun Wenyuan Medical Case" (a total of 5 volumes), "Medical Decree Xuyu" (a total of 2 volumes), and "Chishui Xuanzhu" (a total of 30 volumes) are all summarized and sorted out by Sun Yikui from his life experience.
Among them, Sun Yikui's thoughts and insights on traditional Chinese medicine are described in "Medical Purpose Xuyu", which is also a very theoretical medical work with strong reference value.
Sun Yikui's most representative medical work is "Chishui Xuanzhu", which is a summary of his life's clinical experience and experience. This book has a total of 30 volumes, divided into pediatrics, gynecology, surgery, internal medicine, etc., as well as incurable diseases and rare diseases, and introduces in detail the symptoms of various diseases, how to treat and use medicines, etc., which is a very good work of Chinese medicine, which has produced a very valuable wealth for Chinese medicine, has played a very important role in the revival and development of Chinese medicine, and is a very important reference material for future generations of medical scholars.
