Portrait of Xiao Longyou
One day in 1929, in the gradual formation of the idea that "the spark of a spark can burn the plains" in the south, in the city of Beiping, which had just experienced the warlords in the north, there were two young people with lofty ideals who did not want to see so many lives destroyed by the war. But even though he was too small to do anything, he couldn't take care of everything.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, so it is better to establish a Chinese medicine school if these two people discuss it. Although I can't take care of everything at present, I will be able to take care of it one day. In this way, the first higher institution of traditional Chinese medicine in Beiping area, Beiping Guo Medical College, was established. And the people who established this school are also remembered with the establishment of the school.
These two people, one is Kong Bohua, who is honored by the world with the title of "plaster hole"; the other is the protagonist of our story today, the first of the "four famous doctors in Beijing" - Xiao Longyou.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > became famous at an early age and can be expected in the future</h1>
One day in February 1870, in the Ya'an area of Sichuan, the country of Tianfu, Xiao Longyou was born. You must know that China at that time was a turbulent era, Zuo Zongtang was still leading troops to retake Xinjiang, the banner and drum of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had just been extinguished, and the environment of preparing for war at home and abroad also increased the tense atmosphere at that time.
Fortunately, under such chaotic conditions, Xiao Longyou did not give up studying hard. On the contrary, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics from an early age, and when he was in private school, he also listened carefully to his teachings and laid a solid academic foundation for himself.
Xiao Longyou
And because his mother was sick for many years when he was young, the young Xiao Longyou could only go to the pharmacy to seek medical treatment when other children were playing, so that the young Xiao Longyou had a strong interest in Chinese medicine.
Later, he was admitted to the Chengdu Zunjing Academy by virtue of his own strength, and was able to read a large number of medical books during his schooling.
As we all know, Sichuan is located in the seismic zone. In ancient times, due to the influence of major factors such as health and environment, there must often be a major epidemic after the catastrophe, and this also laid the conditions for xiao Longyou's birth.
In 1892, when Xiao Longyou was 22 years old, cholera spread in Sichuan, and 8,000 people died of illness every day in Chengdu alone. At this time, Xiao Longyou, who was studying at this time, stepped forward and treated patients along the street with the same old Chinese medicine doctor named Chen Yunsheng, using a Chinese herbal medicine room to treat patients.
Fortunately, just ordinary cholera did not have much difficulty in treatment, and the two combined with the strength of the crowd to successfully turn many patients around. And Xiao Longyou, who had experienced this incident, also became famous for a while.
Xiao Longyou, who experienced the "Sichuan Epidemic Incident", was given the title of "Buddha of Ten Thousand Families"
However, Xiao Longyou, who had experienced this incident, did not choose to continue practicing medicine but returned to the academy to study. Even though he still has time to heal in his spare time, he still spends more energy on studying.
In 1897, Xiao Longyou left Sichuan to take the Beijing Imperial Examination, and finally successfully entered the official field with excellent examination results. After entering the official field, Xiao Longyou did not put up an official shelf, but instead took out more energy than during his studies to help people see a doctor.
It can be seen from this that although Xiao Longyou, who entered the official field, is still unable to forget the various sufferings of the world, and even spends most of his energy to deal with this matter. This also shows how much he loves the way of Chinese medicine.
Moreover, Xiao Longyou, who was in the official field, not only studied classical Chinese medicine after getting a larger platform, but also browsed many Western medical works translated at that time. He even managed to obtain a doctor's qualification.

It is said that the heart of the healer's parents. These words were also reflected in Xiao Longyou all the time. Although the convenience of his work has greatly helped his improvement, as time goes on, he slowly feels that he is still involved in trivial matters and cannot concentrate on saving the people.
Finally, in 1928, after the Republic of China government moved south, Xiao Longyou resolutely chose to abandon the official to practice medicine, and he stayed in Beiping and began to run a medical center independently. Even though he started practicing medicine halfway, this still couldn't change the world's view of Xiao Longyou.
Medical center during the Republic of China period
Since his reputation for treating cholera in Sichuan, and his best efforts to save everyone during his tenure as an official, the incident of Mr. Xiao Longyou's independent opening of a medical center instantly spread throughout the streets of Beiping City.
And Mr. Xiao Longyou never boasted about his medical skills, as long as someone came to ask for medicine, no matter whether it was noble or lowly, those who could cure it would be cured, and those who could not be cured would not be cured. This is also Mr. Xiao's consistent practice style.
In fact, when Mr. Xiao Longyou's medical hall had not yet opened, as early as May 1916, when Yuan Shikai was critically ill, Yuan Keding, the grand duke of Yuan Shikai, invited Xiao Longyou to the palace for consultation.
After entering the house after a careful diagnosis and treatment procedure, Xiao Longyou diagnosed Yuan Shikai with uremia and instructed Yuan Keding to grasp the medicine according to his traditional Chinese medicine formula, and must rest to prolong his life.
However, at that time, Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Fu, did not believe in Traditional Chinese medicine and insisted on asking for a Western doctor diagnosis for his father. And for Yuan Shikai, who was opposed to his ascension to the great treasure throughout the country at that time, the pressure of the Patriotic War was resisted by him alone, how could he rest in peace.
The final generation of controversial "tyrants" Yuan Shikai died on June 6.
Yuan Shikai's coffin
Speaking of Yuan Shikai, we can't help but think of another protagonist who overthrew the imperial system - Sun Yat-sen.
We all know that Mr. Sun died of cancer, but no one knows that Mr. Sun came to visit Mr. Xiao in 1924.
In the winter of 1924, Mr. Sun, who was worried about state affairs, finally fell ill on the road. After many searches for medical treatment and still no solution, Mr. Sun inquired about the name of Xiao Longyou, who took office in the Industrial Bond Bureau, and came to visit to seek a prescription.
However, unlike Yuan Shikai, Xiao Longyou did not choose to prescribe treatment after diagnosis and treatment, and Xiao Longyou concluded after diagnosis and treatment: "Premier Sun is sick with the liver, terminally ill, and the soup medicine is ineffective." "Therefore, there is no choice to prescribe treatment."
Subsequently, Mr. Sun also left because of this matter.
After Mr. Sun's death, through the autopsy of the remains by German doctors, it was found that there were indeed hard lumps in his liver, and Xiao Longyou's reputation was greatly enhanced for a time.

Fame means that "people are not popular", and after a while, Liang Qichao heard that Xiao Longyou's name had come to visit.
In 1926, Liang Qichao had blood in his stool, after he successively asked Western doctors and Xiao Longyou for diagnosis and treatment.
Both sides proposed corresponding solutions for him: Western medicine scanned Liang Qichao's kidney with a black spot through the instrument, so it was recommended to remove a kidney; Xiao Longyou diagnosed that Liang Qichao had diabetes and uremia, which had nothing to do with the kidneys, so it was recommended that he take Chinese medicine to slowly adjust.
Liang Qichao, who was more committed to Western medicine at that time, chose to go to the hospital to participate in surgery and chose to cut off his own kidney. However, when the kidneys were removed when the abdominal cavity was opened, it was found that the kidneys were intact. Suddenly, there was a national uproar.
Xiao Longyou, who later learned of this, felt sad from it, and could only helplessly look up to the sky and sigh.
Mr. Liang Qichao's Spiritual Hall
At this point, Xiao Longyou's name was more known to everyone. For a time, there was a saying that "there is Lu Yuanlei in the south and Xiao Longyou in the north".
Even the German medical doctor of Beijing Hospital at that time lamented Xiao Longyou's medical skills, and when they encountered difficult and complicated diseases, they always invited Dr. Xiao to consult. In the past, if Chinese medicine could enter the halls of Western medicine, it was tantamount to a fool's dream.

"People are half numb, with illness in their old age. Fingers have life, feel free to draw plum blossoms. "
This is a poem written by 86-year-old Xiao Longyou to his granddaughter Xiao Chengwei. As the poem says, even though we are in our old age, we still need to have faith in life. Similarly, don't choose to give up on yourself because you get older.

In Xiao Longyou's later life, at the age of 83, Xiao Longyou was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At the age of 86, Xiao Longyou also proposed the establishment of traditional Chinese medicine colleges in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, and continued to shine for the medical cause of the motherland.

Xiao Longyou's life is legendary in our eyes, and his life has experienced both the baptism of war and the change of dynasties. Similarly, his life has had the ups and downs of the eunuch sea, and there have also been the glory of the apricot forest. Moreover, he taught himself without a teacher and became a talent, and he was famous for his medical skills in Beijing.
