In a village in Xiping County, Henan Province, there is a special stone monument, which is famous far and wide.
Just because the tall granite stele is densely engraved with traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for the world's reference.
And the owner of this stele is the old Chinese medicine doctor Yuan Shufang.
As the saying goes, "the heart of the parents of the doctor", many doctors throughout the ages have had selfless love and the benevolent heart of the secretary.
Yuan Shufang is exactly like this, she is known as the modern version of the "God of Medicine", who has practiced medicine for more than 80 years and has treated countless patients, but the prescriptions she has summarized in her life are sorted out and engraved on the tombstone.
Why is Yuan Shufang willing to make her life's work public?
How do her descendants feel about this?
A family of doctors
Yuan Shufang was born in an ordinary family in Xiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province.
Although the family background is ordinary, the Yuan family has been practicing medicine for generations, and is very famous in the local area, born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and under the influence of a good family atmosphere, Yuan Shufang is familiar with it.
As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the Yuan family also runs a medical center, no matter who has a headache and brain fever, as long as they are diagnosed and treated by the Yuan family medical center, they will be cured of the disease.
Her family also has high hopes for her in medicine, hoping that she will inherit the mantle in the future, pass on her medical skills, and help more people.
But in fact, when she was a child, Yuan Shufang was not interested in studying medicine, and the young child was innocent and had her own plans for her future life.
In this regard, the family did not force her to work medicine.
But over time, as Yuan Shufang grew up, she began to change her mind about medical skills and became willing to accept and love.
In her memory, she has been learning about Chinese medicine with her grandfather since she can remember, learning about herbal medicine, and following her parents to consult and see patients.
Accompanied by Chinese herbal medicine for a long time, Yuan Shufang has a strong interest and yearning for Chinese medicine.
She still remembers following her father, watching him diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine in one go, and watching those patients smile because of their family's diagnosis and treatment, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.
She secretly vowed that she must study Chinese medicine hard and help more people in the future.
He has been practicing medicine for 80 years
When she was 16 years old, Yuan Shufang was able to sit alone, and at first it was just some minor illnesses such as headaches and fevers, and her father taught her.
Every time, Yuan Shufang took it seriously, learning from her grandfather's teaching and her father's medical treatment.
In private, from the origin of medicinal materials to the characteristics and dosage of medicinal materials, Yuan Shufang takes it seriously every time, learns and practices hard to ensure that every time she sees a patient, she can prescribe the right medicine.
Since the age of 16, Yuan Shufang has been sitting in the clinic to see a doctor, and gradually became famous in the local area.
Among them, Yuan Shufang is the best at gynecology, because at that time, Yuan Shufang's family was famous in various disease fields, but when it comes to gynecological diseases, because most of them are male doctors, many female patients are embarrassed.
Traditionally, many female patients are reluctant to be treated by a male doctor, which leads to many women missing out on the best time for treatment.
For this reason, Yuan Shufang understood this drawback, and she decided to become an excellent female Chinese medicine doctor to help female patients to a great extent.
According to his nephew Wang Taixi, he later recalled:
There are too many cases that have been cured by Yuan Shufang, and some of them have taken the medicine she prescribed and have taken effect quickly, and he himself has experienced it himself.

And he also said that at that time, because of family constraints, Yuan Shufang usually memorized scattered knowledge points from morning to night in order to learn Chinese medicine well.
In the era of addition, there were very few professional medical skills, and Yuan Shufang, who had finally borrowed medical skills, was eager to learn and studied hard.
In the process of practicing medicine, Yuan Shufang used her own efforts to change the problems and embarrassing conditions in gynecology little by little.
Over time, more and more female patients have been cured of the disease by her hands.
With such redoubled dedication and efforts, her medical skills have grown rapidly, and in her 81 years of practice, Yuan Shufang has cured tens of thousands of patients.
For more than 80 years of medical practice, Yuan Shufang has treated countless patients, and she has handled countless incurable diseases, and these rich clinical experiences have been recorded by her later.
In her old age, Yuan Shufang's health deteriorated, and as a doctor, she was very aware of her physical condition, and she knew that she had little time left.
But at this time, what worries her more than her physical condition is the medical skills she has adhered to all her life and the medical secrets left by her ancestors.
She knows how difficult it was for her to learn without a medical book.
She thought about it, and didn't want her descendants and non-math students to fall into the same embarrassing situation as herself, and there was no medical book to inquire about.
Therefore, Yuan Shufang decided to sort out all the experience and information summarized in her 81 years of medical practice for future generations to inquire.
Among them are "Osteomyelitis Treatment", "Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy for Large-scale Burns", "Treatment of Intractable Epilepsy", "Male and Female Infertility Treatment" and so on.

As it turns out, these experiences and actual cases have helped many people who practice medicine.
Special Wills
In 2006, 81-year-old Yuan Shufang called her children on the eve of her death, and she pulled her children's hands in a trembling voice in front of the hospital bed to leave special instructions.
She asked her children to find a pen and paper, read a sentence by herself, and transcribed a sentence on the paper, but the children couldn't resist Yuan Shufang so they had to do it obediently, and every word contained Yuan Shufang's 81 years of experience in medicine and pharmacy.
She told her son that after her death, she must engrave these precious pharmacy bad news experiences on her tombstone for future generations to learn.
His son Wang Taisheng didn't understand this.
You must know how important the secret recipe of medicine has been for a doctor or a medical family since ancient times.
Not to mention the cheats and experiences that have been passed down from generations like Yuan Shufang, there are even rarer.
However, Yuan Shufang insisted on carving nearly 100 secret medicinal materials on the tombstone and making them public for future generations to learn from, such a selfless love is really rare.
In 2008, when the reporter heard about Yuan Shufang's deeds and wanted to go to the tombstone to watch it in person, the reporter saw a woman squatting in front of the tombstone and observing carefully, from time to time waving a pen and concentrating on copying.
Later, it was learned that the woman was a gynecologist at the People's Hospital of Queshan County, and she came to inquire about some ancient prescriptions and cheats.
As she herself said, "The prescription on this stone tablet is very concise, which is very helpful and practical for her to practice medicine!"

And this may really be the best result that the old man Yuan Shufang wants to see, and the experience of painstaking experience is only to help more people.
Not only that, according to the villagers, this huge granite stele has attracted countless students and doctors to stop and study since the monument was erected, some hand-copied and some photographed.
At that time, more than 3,000 people came to the tombstone.
Now Yuan Shufang's three sons have also entered the road of studying medicine, and each of them has a prominent reputation in the medical field.
Among them, Yuan Shufang's eldest son, Wang Taisheng, is over 60 years old this year and is now the vice president of the Beijing Xinglin Academy of Medical Sciences.
Wang Taixi
When it comes to his mother, he is full of pride, and to this day he still remembers what his mother often said before her death: "You can't be too conservative as a doctor, you must pass on the secret book to future generations and help more people!"
The prescriptions contributed by Dr. Yuan Shufang have greatly promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time, let more people see what it means to be a doctor with benevolence and selfless love!
