When it comes to famous medical masters in ancient times, we can think of many names, Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen, Bian Que... We have heard a lot of their stories, have we ever studied the world's first divine doctor, we seem to be unable to make a judgment, why? None of them have been positively evaluated as "the first in the world".
Only he, a famous doctor of the Qing Dynasty, was praised by the emperor as the "world's first" divine doctor. Ye Gui, who specialized in medical skills all his life, had nothing to cure strange and difficult diseases, and the Kangxi Emperor also said that he had a future. But he has never been complacent about his medical prowess, nor has he stopped learning and exploring medical knowledge. He not only conquered the world because of his superb medical skills, but also because his medical ethics infected future generations, and he was highly valued.
Ye Gui, a native of Wu County, Jiangsu Province, was born into a medical family. However, he did not learn medicine from his father as we think, and his medical career was full of all kinds of bitterness and perseverance. Since he lost his father at an early age, in order to maintain his family plan, he practiced medicine alone at the age of 14, although he was very intelligent, but his medical knowledge was limited, so he tried his best to learn from the famous doctors at that time, and there were nearly 20 people who studied before and after.
When he was young, he learned that a senior monk at Baoshan Temple could treat his helpless patients, and resolutely went up to the mountain to seek medical treatment. Starting from a humble apprentice, in addition to carrying water every day, he studied medicine with the senior monks, and within a few years, he actually mastered the medical skills of the senior monks.
His master's evaluation of Ye Tianshi was "divinely enlightened", "intelligent and wise", and humble. With his wisdom and ability to comprehend, Ye Shitian was able to integrate and study hard, had more unique insights than his master, and could put forward new therapeutic views, and at that time he was also known in the medical field as "a doctor who speaks with Gui as the sect". At that time, the famous doctor felt that there was no cure for the strange disease, he could have revived the dead and rejuvenated the magic hand: magic to cure violent blindness, clever language to cure dystocia... Highly accomplished in the treatment of thermogenic disease.
In addition to paying attention to the study of medical skills, Ye Tianshi studied endlessly, nor did he pay attention to moral cultivation. He insists on medical ethics and principles, and the following is a small story, which makes people have to admire his wisdom and character.
Once, on the way out of the clinic, Ye Tianshi met an old man who was dressed in tatters and relied on begging to maintain the family's livelihood, the family was infected with wind and cold, but there were only a few copper coins on his body that could not seek medical treatment, looking at his dying wife and children, the old man took the initiative to ask Ye Tianshi for medical treatment, Ye Tianshi did not think too much to help them diagnose and treat, after the diagnosis and treatment, the old man reluctantly gave the only few copper coins to Ye as a diagnosis fee, and Ye Tianshi also accepted them all. Before leaving, the old man was worried that there was no money to buy medicine, and it was useless to see a doctor. At this time, Ye Tianshi had a plan and said to the old man, "Don't you live by begging?" Seeing that the old man did not understand Ye Tianshi's meaning. Of course, after ye Tianshi repeated it three times, the old man suddenly realized that he begged Ye Tianshi so that the old man would have money to buy medicine.
Ye Tianshi also pays attention to the cultivation of talents, cultivating countless students throughout his life, not only imparting superb medical skills to his disciples, but also emphasizing the moral cultivation of disciples, Ye Tianshi also left his sons before his death: "Medicine can be done but not can be done, must be talented and sensitive, read thousands of books, and then can borrow the art to save the world." Otherwise, there are very few people who do not kill people, and they use medicinal bait as a blade. "Testament. Judging from the medical skills, ethics, parallelism, and preaching and receiving karma, Ye Tianshi is worthy of being the world's first divine doctor.
