Qian Yi like
One day, the crown prince of Song Shenzong suddenly fell ill, asked many famous doctors for treatment, but there was no improvement, the condition became more and more serious, and finally began to cramp. The emperor was very anxious to see the situation. At this time, someone recommended Qian Yi to the emperor. Therefore, Qian Yi was summoned to the palace.
When the emperor saw that Qian Yi was thin and not outstanding, he thought to himself, "Can such a person save my son?" But then I thought about it:
"Since he has been summoned, let him diagnose and treat his son!"
Qian Yi calmly and unhurriedly examined it, asked for a pen and paper, and wrote a prescription for "loess soup".
Loess (aka heartland)
The skeptical Song Shenzong took a look at the prescription and saw that there was a medicine on it that turned out to be yellow clay, and he couldn't help but get angry and roared:
"You're so arrogant! Can loess also be medicated? ”
Qian Yi replied confidently:
"According to my judgment, the prince's disease is in the kidneys, the kidneys belong to the water of the north, according to the principle of the five elements of Chinese medicine, the soil can be used to overcome water, so this disease should use loess."
When Song Shenzong saw that his head was the Tao, the doubts in his heart had gone a few points.
At this time, the prince began to cramp again, and the queen urged:
"Your Majesty, Qian Yi is quite famous in the capital, his diagnosis will not be wrong, the emperor you should not hesitate any longer!"
Therefore, the emperor ordered someone to take a piece of loess from the stove that had been roasted for a long time, wrap it in a cloth and put it in medicine to fry the juice together. After the prince took the next post, the cramps stopped quickly. After using two doses, the disease was completely cured.
At this time, Song Shenzong truly believed in Qian Yi's medical skills and promoted him from a Hanlin medical officer to a tai doctor with high honors.
Press: In the story, Qian Yi used the theory of "soil energy to make water", cultivated soil to make water, and cured the prince's disease with a taste of loess by transporting spleen and yang to cure the evidence of kidney deficiency, which Chinese medicine called "cultivating soil to make water".
The five elements are mutually reinforcing
In addition, the treatment methods established by Chinese medicine according to the five elements of xiangke theory include the "mu fu tu method", "Zuojin Pingmu method" and so on. And "suppressing the strong and supporting the weak" is the most basic treatment principle proposed by Chinese medicine according to the theory of the five elements of phase. As the name suggests, "suppressing the strong" is to suppress the overly strong side, and "supporting the weak" is to help the weak side. Such methods are also often applied when pruning fruit trees. In an orchard, some trees are strong, some trees are weak, on a tree, there are also strong branches and weak branches, strong trees and weak trees can not be harvested year after year, and trees with uneven strength and weakness are not easy to produce, only by making the trees balanced and moderate and strong can we achieve the purpose of continuous production. When pruning, through the method of "suppressing the strong and supporting the weak", the strong branches are controlled, the growth amount is reduced, the fruit is increased, the branches are thinned and the angle is lowered; the weak branches are supported by more auxiliary branches, light pruning and less shearing, and the angle is raised, so as to achieve the relaxation of the strong, the transformation of the weak, and the balance of the tree. It can be said that the methods of Chinese medicine to treat diseases are very simple and simple, and many of them are transplanted from social production practices. Therefore, there is a saying that Chinese medicine doctors must "know astronomy from above, geography from below, and personnel affairs from below".
