One of the greatest contributions of Uncle Wang's life was to compile the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" into two books, "On Typhoid Fever" and "Outline of the Letter of Jin Kuaiyu" and passed it on to future generations. As Lin Yi of the Song Dynasty said: "The Book of Zhongjing and more than eight hundred years now, those who do not fall to the ground, are all uncles and the power of the king." ”
One day around 223 AD, Cao Wei's Taiyi Ling (equivalent to the president of the most advanced hospital in a country) was sighing in front of a pile of mutilated bamboo and books. He gently stroked the big words "Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" on the bamboo jane, as if touching his own treasure. When Tai Yi Ling was more than a year old, in addition to saving lives and helping the injured, he spent most of his time sorting out his mentor Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".
Because papermaking had not yet been promoted at that time, Zhu jian was easily lost; the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", known as the "ancestor of the Fang Shu", although it was only a few decades old, it also faced this fate. In order to restore the appearance of this book, Taiyi Ling collected the teacher's old certificates everywhere, searched for the original of the book, and sought the old medical book through relatives and friends; after the information was in place, he carefully sorted out and restored it, and it took three years to complete the "Typhoid Fever" part of the original book. What made him sad was that the "Miscellaneous Diseases" section of the original book was scattered in various bamboo books and books, and it would be a very tedious task to compile it completely, which was the main reason why he sighed at the bamboo.

Hard work pays off. Taiyi Ling spent several years to complete the theory of miscellaneous diseases, and named the book "Outline of the Letter of Jin Kuaiyu" according to the teacher's original intention. "JinKui" means important and precious, "to be brief" means concise; from the name, we can know that the content of this book is essential, valuable, and not an ordinary city medical book. Indeed, the medical evidence described in this book is mainly a miscellaneous disease of internal medicine, and there are also some surgical, obstetrics and gynecology and other medical evidence, which is rare in the world. Later, after being further sorted out by northern Song Dynasty physicians, the "Golden Kuai Yu Letter Outline" was named "Golden Kuai Outline" and has been passed down to this day. The Outline of the Letter of Jin Kuaiyu is one of the earliest surviving monographs in China on the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases, which has provided considerable help to later generations of physicians in dealing with difficult medical problems.
This Taiyi Ling was Wang Shuhe, a famous physician and medical book compiler at the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties. One of the greatest contributions of Uncle Wang he in his life was to organize the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" into two books, "On Typhoid Fever" and "Outline of the Letter of Jin Kuaiyu", which were passed down to later generations, as Lin Yi of the Song Dynasty said: "The book of Zhongjing and more than eight hundred years now, those who do not fall to the ground, are all Wang Uncle and the power." ”
Famous Three Kingdoms
Uncle Wang and Mingxi, the word uncle and, in the world of characters. According to the speculation of later experts (because the history books "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Jin" do not have their biographies, so their life and place of origin are reasonable speculations), Uncle Wang and his ancestral home is Gaoping (present-day Gaoping City, Shanxi Province), born in Gaoping Shangsi Village, Shanyang County (present-day Weishan County, Shandong Province). He was diligent and studious from an early age, modest and steady. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Gaoping was located in a key position, so wars were frequent, military disasters were continuous, and the people did not have a good life. After witnessing the endless disasters brought to the people by the war and the plague, Uncle Wang had no patience in his heart, so he decided to hang the pot to save the world and relieve the suffering of all the people. When Uncle Wang began practicing medicine, due to his poor family and worn clothes, many people looked down on him. However, he did not care what the world thought, he silently cured the disease and saved people, and at the same time "studied the pulse of the square, quietly diagnosed and cut, and adjusted the way of rest" (Tang Dynasty medical historian Gan Bozong's "Biography of Famous Doctors"), so his reputation gradually rose.
When Uncle Wang and his youth, in order to avoid war, they traveled thousands of miles to defect to Wang Cang, a distant relative in Jingzhou. At that time, Jingzhou was under the administration of Liu Biao, the governor of the Yangtze River, and could be called a pure land in a chaotic world. Here, Uncle Wang and accidentally met their friend Wei Xun from many years ago. Wei Xun was originally a native of Hedong (in present-day Shanxi Province), and in his early years he worshiped Zhang Zhongjing as a teacher and received the True Tradition. Uncle Wang was deeply affected by the master's practice of medicine and writing books, and was recommended by Wei Xun to worship Zhang Zhongjing as a teacher. Since then, Wang and Wei have practiced medicine during the day, and at night, they have either been instructed by their mentors or exchanged medical skills with each other, and their progress has been very rapid. Gradually, Wang Shuhe's medical name spread throughout Jingzhou.
In the chaotic world, the paradise is also rarely peaceful. In 208, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou from the south, and Uncle Wang and his duke Liu Chun (Liu Biao's son) surrendered to the imperial court. Thirsty for talent, Cao Cao hired Uncle Wang as a doctor accompanying the army. After Wang Shuhe arrived in the north, while being ordered to treat the sick and save people, he devoted himself to the study of the theory of cutting the pulse, and his reputation gradually spread throughout Xuchang City and Luoyang City. Due to his remarkable achievements, Wang Shuhe successively served as a physician in the Wei royal palace and a royal imperial physician; in 222 AD, after the establishment of the State of Wei, he was appointed as the state's Tai Yi Ling, and his career reached its peak.
Edited "The Pulse Sutra"
Uncle Wang was actually not interested in the position of Taiyi Ling, what he cared about was that Taiyi Ling could enter and leave the palace at will, and he could also borrow famous medical texts and medical books from previous generations. He read medical books day and night, and spent many years sorting out the bamboo briefs of the previous physicians, and took pleasure in them. During his tenure as a tai chic, he spent a great deal of time studying pulse science.
Pulse science originated very early in China, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian Que proposed the four diagnostic techniques of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", cutting is the pulse. Due to the backwardness of science and technology at that time, people were more superstitious, and doctors did not pay attention to pulse science, which led to misdiagnosis - this kind of thing was repeatedly recorded in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases". Based on this, after decades of intensive research, on the basis of absorbing the medical pulse diagnosis theory written by famous doctors such as Bian Que and Hua Tuo, combined with his many years of clinical experience, Wang Shuhe finally completed China's first complete and systematic pulse science monograph - "Pulse Classic" around 250 AD.

The "Pulse Sutra" has 98 articles in 10 volumes and more than 100,000 words, records the location and method of diagnosing the pulse, makes a detailed description and elaboration of 24 kinds of pulses and their main diseases, and expounds various pathological changes according to the internal organs and six organs and yin and yang camp guards. This book is a collection of the great achievements of medicine before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which has important guiding significance for the study of pulse in later generations, and also has a promoting effect on the development of world medicine. As a result, Wang Shuhe is also recognized as the ancestor of The Chinese lineage, and ranks first among the five famous doctors in eastern Hubei (the other four are Li Shizhen, Pang Anshi, Wan Mizhai and Yang Jitai).
It is worth mentioning that Uncle Wang also has some insights on health care, and these theories are the earliest and more systematic expositions of the dietary system in China. He proposed that if you want to live a long life, you should pay attention to four problems in daily life: diet should not be too complicated, do not eat and drink more; diet is taboo, the diet should be distinguished throughout the year; diet should vary from person to person, before eating to have a choice; diet should be inferior, even good food can not be eaten in excess.
In his later years, Uncle Wang and his resignation returned to Xiangyang (in present-day Hubei Province) and settled in a picturesque mountain village to save the world. Because of his noble medical ethics and excellent medical skills, he was called "divine doctor" by the locals, and there was an endless stream of people who found and treated diseases. About 270 AD, this great hero who compiled the "Ancestor of the FangShu" died in a remote mountain village at the age of more than 80. Wang Shuhe's descendants buried him in Yaowang Chong (present-day Laoye Mountain, Baiguo Town, Macheng, Hubei Province), and other villagers who had been favored by him built a crown tomb at the foot of Da Nang Mountain (present-day chengnan, Xiangfan, Hubei Province) as a memorial. Although a generation of famous doctors have gone, the tomb that is called the "Tomb of the Medicine King" by the villagers has survived the baptism of wind and rain for 1800 years and still exists forever!
exegesis:
Wang Shuhe (201–280), known as Xi, was a Han Chinese native of Gaoping (高平, in present-day Gaoping, Shanxi) in the Western Jin Dynasty, and a native of the southeast of present-day Zoucheng, Shandong. A famous physician and medical book compiler during the Wei and Jin dynasties. In the history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, he made two important contributions, one is to sort out the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and the other is to write the "Pulse Sutra".
Famous saying: The disease of typhoid fever is shallow and deep day by day, and it is cured by prescription. In this world, if people get typhoid fever, they may not be cured early, or they will not be cured of the disease, or they will be drowned for a long time, and they will be sick. If the doctor does not know the order and cures it, he will not be sick. All are based on temporary messages, and none of them are effective.
