This story takes place in the Yuan Dynasty and comes from Yu Zhen's "Ancient and Modern Medical Case Press" by Yu Zhen in the Qing Dynasty.
Once upon a time, there was a woman who was depressed all day long, and gradually, she didn't think about eating, and she said that her stomach was bloated all day long, and she was getting thinner and thinner day by day. The parents asked for a famous doctor to treat her, but the woman's condition became more and more serious, so that she was bedridden and dying. Parents asked the famous doctor Zhu Danxi to come for treatment.
Zhu Danxi learned that soon after the woman got married, her husband went out to earn a living, and he did not return for five years, and there was no news, so he carefully formulated a diagnosis and treatment plan. I saw him suddenly break into the boudoir, slapped the woman three times in anger, and shouted: "You have outside thoughts and pretend to be sick, so I want to beat you!" The woman was so shocked that she cried out in anger and shouted, "You are not a doctor, you are a brute!" I don't want you to heal, you get out! Strange to say, after the woman's crying, her condition improved greatly.
Zhu Danxi said to the woman's father: "Miss is lovesick for a long time, and her qi is stuck in her spleen and she is sick. To cure Miss's illness, you must first make her angry, anger belongs to the liver wood, thinking belongs to the spleen soil, wood can overcome the soil, and you can untie the knot of the spleen and soil. I beg your pardon for offending Miss. ”
The woman's father bowed to Zhu Danxi. Zhu Danxi said: "Although her temper is gone, she needs to smell happy events to not recur. Joy belongs to the fire of the heart, and the fire can give birth to the spleen and soil, the spleen is healthy, and the qi and blood are biochemically sufficient, so there is no disease! Zhu Danxi instructed that the family lied in good faith, saying that the son-in-law had a letter and brought it back. When the woman saw her husband's letter, she was very happy and gradually recovered. Soon after, the husband did come home, and the woman was completely cured.
