In the martial arts world, there are heroes who can designate Qiankun with a yang, but in the real world, there is a disease of three broken fingers in traditional Chinese medicine, this is a master of traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong Zhonglu Hospital, named Zhang Zhiyuan, who is still in the hospital at the age of 97.
This old Chinese medicine doctor is a veritable Chinese medicine general doctor, not only proficient in various departments, even some incurable diseases are not a problem to him, and his way of diagnosing the condition is also very special, without any instruments, only three fingers on the patient's pulse lightly, no disease can escape his eyes.
In fact, it is not as expensive as imagined, the registration fee is only 27 yuan, and the diagnosis is reasonable and evidence-based, and the patient will never spend money in vain.
How did he do it? It is said that he was cured of his cancer with Chinese medicine? How amazing is he?
01
Cure the sick and save people, never hide it privately
The magic of Chinese medicine lies in the fact that all major and minor illnesses can be treated, such as some small diseases, although they do not lead to death, but they cannot be cured in the body all the time, and they are endless torture for the patient.
Zhang Zhiyuan's old man treats people, not only the registration fee is not high, but he is also practical for the sake of the patient, there is an extremely anemic patient who came to ask Zhang Zhiyuan to give him guidance, because he has run a lot of hospitals, has not been thoroughly conditioned, if Zhang Zhiyuan can not be cured again, he will drag his weak body for a lifetime.
After paying the registration fee of 27 yuan, he sat down in front of Zhang Zhiyuan's old man and put his hand up.
Zhang Zhiyuan put his hand on his hand and felt it carefully, then asked him about some usual symptoms, pondered for a while, and then prescribed him three pairs of traditional Chinese medicine, and these three pairs of traditional Chinese medicine are not expensive, each pair is only a few dozen yuan.
In the diagnosis stage, Zhang Zhiyuan never frowned, this patient muttered in his heart, he ran so many hospitals and didn't solve it, this master can diagnose it with three fingers?
Although he was skeptical, the patient still followed the old man's instructions to take these Chinese medicines back or decoction or boiling, and take them on time.
Unexpectedly, after drinking these three pairs of medicines, the patient felt that her body was much more relaxed, in fact, in the process of taking the medicine, she had already felt that sometimes there would be a surge of power into the body, which was completely cured.
According to Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan, he usually uses the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger when treating patients. He doesn't just touch them lightly, he uses his heart to sense the subtle changes in the patient's pulse.
By carefully observing the rhythm of the pulse, the strength and weakness of the pulse, he can accurately judge the patient's qi and blood status, thus providing a strong basis for treatment.
Then, if he knows what he knows, he will ask about the condition of some patients, but sometimes he will also observe the faces, tongue coatings, voices, and so on of some patients just in case.
For example, if the patient has a sallow complexion, we all know that this is a manifestation of malnutrition, but it may also be a manifestation of spleen deficiency, and the tongue coating reflects more problems, which can be seen in the cold, heat, deficiency, and solidity of the patient's internal organs, and so on. The voice is related to qi and blood, and the loud voice is full of qi and blood, and vice versa.
Of course, this is only an entry-level skill of traditional Chinese medicine, Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan learned it very early, but now he thinks about it much more complicated than we have learned.
02
Born into a family of doctors
In the 20s of the last century, a Chinese medicine doctor in Dezhou, Shandong Province gave birth to a baby, this is Zhang Zhiyuan, this Chinese medicine doctor is called Zhang Weixin, a Chinese medicine surgeon.
When Zhang Weixin was young, he went to Japan to study, where he studied Western medicine, and after returning, he integrated Chinese and Western medicine and became a well-known local doctor.
As his son, Zhang Zhiyuan has been nurtured by his father since he was a child, and he has gradually fallen in love with traditional Chinese medicine, and his father has also placed high hopes on him, hoping that he can carry forward traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
Zhang Zhiyuan is conscientious, and has read countless Chinese medicine classics behind his father's buttocks, and sometimes Zhang Weixin will tell the story of himself and his parents to the little Zhang Zhiyuan.
In that era, Zhang Weixin, who was a doctor, and his father often saw doctors for the poor people for free, hanging pots to help the world, whenever he talked about the current situation of the people, Zhang Weixin was always full of emotion, which also made Zhang Zhiyuan plant a seed in Zhang Zhiyuan's heart even if he saved the people.
Zhang Zhiyuan's family conditions are okay, so he was able to study in a private school and learn some traditional culture, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as other literary classics, he ate them thoroughly, which is also the basis for him to understand those obscure medical skills.
In order to train Zhang Zhiyuan, his grandfather and father took turns to fight, Zhang Zhiyuan went from morning to late at night, and then copied the book where he didn't know how to do it, and pondered it herself, so she went back to ask her father and grandfather when she was really unpredictable.
Because in the school, Zhang Zhiyuan was very interested in the I Ching, so he combined the culture of Chinese medicine and the culture of the I Ching to create a theory of Chinese medicine that was unique to him.
When he was young, in order to combine theory and reality, Zhang Zhiyuan took a trip to taste cabbage and visit various famous doctors.
There were many famous old Chinese medicine doctors at that time, and when they heard that this young man had traveled thousands of miles to give him some advice, they were very moved, so they gave Zhang Zhiyuan detailed guidance, and during this period, Zhang Zhiyuan also got many prescriptions treasured by famous doctors.
In this way, after decades of training, Zhang Zhiyuan's foundation in traditional Chinese medicine became more and more solid, and he soon became the most famous doctor in Shandong, during which he cured countless patients, but he was not proud, because he thought that these were what he should do as a doctor.
03
Refuse to raise the price of the hospital
If you want to say which visit made Zhang Zhiyuan famous, you have to start with Zhang Zhiyuan's optimism about a deaf child, who was a child who burned his ears because of fever when he was a child, and the child's family was very poor, so the child was deaf and there was no way to treat him until now.
Fortunately, they met Zhang Zhiyuan, and after paying the registration fee, Zhang Zhiyuan began to treat the child, he thought that since the child was not born deaf, then there must be traces to follow and find the possibility of a cure.
I heard that Zhang Zhiyuan was going to treat a deaf man, and everyone advised him to do it after three or four years, ordinary diseases can be cured, but how can this deaf man be cured? But Zhang Zhiyuan was no longer moved, this child reminded him of his childhood, when he was a child, he saw countless people who died because they had no money to treat diseases, and this time he must help this child hear the voice.
Zhang Zhiyuan used acupuncture therapy, and then used decoction to assist, it didn't take much money, he paid for the money out of his own pocket, and then the child gradually could hear some small sounds, so step by step, the child's deafness was completely cured.
This matter was spread to the streets and alleys of Dezhou, Shandong, and more and more people came here, hoping that Zhang Zhiyuan would diagnose himself.
Seeing this situation, the hospital thought that this was a rare business opportunity, so it asked him to increase the registration fee many times, but Zhang Zhiyuan simply refused at first.
Later, after many times, he began to count down the leaders of the hospital, saying that Chinese medicine pays attention to helping the world and saving people, and what should the people do if the price rises and the people can't afford to see the disease?
Zhang Zhiyuan does not seek fame and fortune, does not seek glory and wealth, just wants to cure diseases and save people, he enjoys the state's allowance, but his ordinary life is extremely simple, he is reluctant to buy new clothes all year round, which are full of patches, and he lives like a person in the last century.
But it's unimaginable that such a person is still a university professor.

A true master of traditional Chinese medicine
In Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are always some courses that are full, and when you look at the podium for these courses, you find that it is a grandfather in his 90s who is in good spirits, this is Professor Zhang Zhiyuan.
Don't look at Professor Zhang's age, his classes are not rigid at all, and they can learn Chinese medicine knowledge at the same time, so the students who came to Professor Zhang's class broke the threshold.
Regarding the attitude of his peers, Professor Zhang Zhiyuan has always held the idea that only by communicating with doctors can Chinese medicine be truly carried forward.
In addition to these, Zhang Zhiyuan has devoted his life to the study of traditional Chinese medicine, because of the experience of visiting famous doctors in his early years, he has the habit of writing manuscripts, through which he has compiled countless books, hundreds of papers, pediatrics, gynecology, pharmacology, etc., which has greatly promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
When the old man was 94 years old, the old man was diagnosed with stomach cancer, but he did not rush to surgery and chemotherapy, but cured the stomach cancer through his own conditioning.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and three years later, Mr. Zhang still left us at the age of 97. He has been shining in the field of Chinese medicine all his life, using his own strength to carry forward Chinese medicine and practicing the benevolence of doctors with his actions.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical system, but also a wisdom of life. It teaches us how to stay healthy in our daily lives and how to prevent diseases by adjusting our lifestyle habits.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the "harmony between man and nature", that is, the harmonious coexistence of man and the natural environment, so it advocates that we should adapt to nature and adjust our work and diet according to the changes of the four seasons.
In the spring, when everything recovers, we should go to bed early and get up early, and eat more fresh vegetables; in the summer, when the sun is strong, we should sweat properly and eat less cold drinks; in autumn, when the climate is dry, we should keep the room moist and eat more food that moistens the lungs; in winter, when it is cold, we should keep warm and eat more warm food.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "eating modestly and living regularly", which means that we should maintain a regular schedule and avoid excessive staying up late and exertion. At the same time, the diet should also be moderate, not overeating, especially less greasy, spicy, raw and cold food.
Traditional Chinese medicine also pays attention to the "combination of movement and static", which advocates that we should not only exercise properly to enhance our physical fitness, but also avoid overwork and maintain physical and mental peace.
We can follow these rules and truly achieve a long and healthy life.
