Biography and Introduction of Huang Yuanyu

Huang Yuanyu (1705-1758), a native of Huangjia Xinguo Village, Changyi City, Shandong Province. The name Yulu, the character Yuanyu, the word Kun Zai, the number Of Yannong, the nickname of Jade Catalpa Zi. A famous physician of the Qing Dynasty and a representative figure of the Zunjing School, he inherited and developed the profound medical theory of the motherland, which had a far-reaching influence on future generations of physicians and was known as "a generation of masters".

Huang Yuanyu was the eleventh grandson of Huang Fu, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty. Zu Yunzhen,廪Gongsheng,Houxuan Xun;Uncle ZuYunqi,Shunzhi Pengshu Branch Jinshi,官至兵科給事中;父鐘,邑庠生;Brother Derun,增生;德淳,監生). Huang Yuanyu was born in such a generation of Shuxiang Mendi, and was deeply influenced by family learning since childhood. When he was a teenager, his father invited Mr. Yu Ziyi, a famous Confucian from Qiao Yu Changyi, to be his teacher, to learn the art of juggling and reading the works of scripture and history, hoping that he would be able to enter the army and shine in the court. Huang Yuanyu also "often wanted to strive for the clouds and raise the world with his merits", following the example of his ancestor Huang Fu and making a vigorous deed.

In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), Huang Yuan's imperial examination was born in the Middle Yi Ofe, who was close to the age of the weak crown. In the twelfth year of Yongzheng (1734), Huang Yuanyu was thirty years old, and due to excessive diligence, he suddenly suffered from eye diseases, his left eye was red and astringent, and his white eyes were like blood, so he had to postpone medical treatment. The quack doctor misuses rhubarb, huanglian and other cold drainage agents, causing a great loss of spleen and yang, and within a few years, repeated violations of the middle falsehood, the left eye is completely blind. In the era of the imperial examination, the five senses were not correct, and they were not allowed to enter the army, and after this disaster, Huang Yuanyu's path to advancement was completely broken. In addition to the grief, he indignantly resolved: "Born not for the sake of the world, but also for the sake of the famous doctor and the helper", he embarked on the road of abandoning Confucianism and practicing medicine. Painstakingly reading the classics of traditional Chinese medicine in previous generations, Huang Yuanyu relied on his profound cultural skills to read the traditional Chinese medicine classics of the past, struggled for several years, immersed in success, and began to hang pots and save the world. In the process of practicing medicine, he constantly summed up his experience, improved his medical skills, and his medical name was great, and when people called it "Southern Zang Bei Huang" together with the famous doctor Zang Meiji of Zhucheng.

At the beginning of Huang Yuanyu's medical career, he began by studying Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", and then gradually went to the "Outline of the Golden Jade Letter", the "Inner Classic" of the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo, and the "Difficult Classic" of Bian Que. He enshrined Zhongjing and four others as the "Four Saints of The Medicine Gate". He believes that in addition to the "Four Saints", many of the famous doctors of the past have made mistakes in their views, so that they have misdiagnosed the dead, and the fundamental reason is because the "Four Saints" book is simplistic and chaotic, and it is also caused by the fallacies of the transmission of the past generations. Therefore, I vowed to devote my life's energy to re-examining and revising the book of the "Four Holy Spirits" from source to stream, and returning it to its original appearance, so that it could be followed by future generations.

In the second year of Qianlong (1737), Huang Yuanyu began to brew the compilation of the book "Typhoid Fever Suspension Solution", and began to write "Su Ling Wei Yun", which was completed in September of the fifth year of Qianlong (1740), four volumes and twenty-six articles, in which Huang Yuanyu first put forward the diagnosis theory of "cultivating the middle qi, supporting the yang and suppressing the yin". For the middle qi, he gave an image metaphor: "If the essence is the benevolence of the middle, if the business of the middle is the business, the benevolence is earthy, the business is bud, the bud is born and the kernel is rotten, so the essence cannot be born, so the person who is born, the qi in the essence is also." Based on this, in the treatment, he has always implemented the principle of attaching importance to the spleen soil, supporting the yang and suppressing the yin, and cultivating the qi in thick, which is a further development of his medical theory in the motherland.

In the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), Huang Yuanyu traveled to Yangqiu in Qingjiang, Yangqiu had beautiful scenery, and Huang Yuanyu was also clear in his heart. During this period, he traveled south to Huiji Mountain, visited Yu Ling, and said to himself: "I climbed the Huiji, personally visited Yu Cave, and witnessed the Yueguo Jiangshan... It is a great ambition to write. In April of the same year, he began to write "The Suspension of Typhoid Fever", which was drafted on July 3 and counted in fifteen volumes. In late August, he wrote the twenty-two volumes of the Golden Hanging Solution, at the age of forty-four.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Qianlong (1749), Huang Yuan Yuchucao's book "Four Sacred Suspensions" analyzed the meaning of the wen epidemic acne rash. In February, he composed "The Source of the Four Sacred Hearts", and the solution to the hundred diseases inside and outside was to end, and only a rough article was created, and he quit writing because of the incident. In April of the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), Huang Yuanyu traveled north to Beijing, suitable for the Qianlong Emperor's illness, the tai doctors were helpless, after recommendation, Huang Yuanyu entered the palace to see the disease, medicine to get rid of the disease, with superb medical skills was specially favored by the Qianlong Emperor, personally wrote "Miao Wu Qi Huang" as a reward, and blessed the imperial doctor. Since then, Huang Yuanyu has begun his career as a hospitalist.

In February of the sixteenth year of Qianlong (1751), the Qianlong Emperor made his first southern tour, and Huang Yuanyu accompanied him to Hangzhou, during which the prescriptions and medicines had miraculous effects, which won the praise of the Qianlong Emperor and his internal and external ministers. In April, Huang Yuanyu took a leisurely road to the old residence of Qingjiang and continued to write the book "Four Sacred Heart Sources", "Nine of the ten, and the merits were not completed." In June, the "Four Sacred Suspensions" was deleted and the final draft was transcribed. On August 15, the boat sailed north and returned to the capital. It was not until October of the seventeenth year of Qianlong (1752) that Huang Yuanyu wrote a chapter of "Heavenly Human Solution", and after four years, the "Four Sacred Heart Sources" was finally out of the manuscript. In the "Heavenly Human Solution", he vigorously expounded the view of the "Inner Classic": "Those who speak well of heaven will have to test it in people", attach great importance to the application of the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and are good at linking it with the four times, expounding the wonderful meaning of gasification of nature from the aspects of yin and yang changes, five elements of life, viscera production, the origin of qi and blood, and spiritual incarnation, which has a great influence. During the years of Shi Jun, Huang Yuanyu was not satisfied, and this mood was very clearly stated in the "Four Sacred Heart Sources and Prefaces": "Gu himself and even Nongshen, after many years of history, the yuan grass has not been completed, then the heavens are long and the state of poverty, and not frequently leave the day of Xiao Idle, the emperor's family of the long, how can you be ashamed?" There are not many good times, just a few. The complicated affairs left him with no more time to complete his writings, and Huang Yuanyu deeply regretted that he had wasted so much precious time. In the days that followed, he spared no time and devoted himself to writing.

In the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753), When Huang Yuanyu was forty-nine years old, in the spring and February, he took the prescription medicines in Zhang Zhongjing's works and wrote them to explain and prove them, and wrote the four volumes of "Changsha Medicinal Solutions", containing 161 kinds of medicines and 242 fangs. In March of the nineteenth year of Qianlong (1754), he compiled ten volumes of "Typhoid Fever". The book is based on the transmission of scriptures, debate and analysis, and more enlightenment to learn the door. On June 8 of the same year, he compiled the eight volumes of the "Medicinal Solution of Jade Catalpa" to make up for the lack of "Changsha Medicinal Solution", in which he pioneered the treatment of plague with duckweed. At this point, Huang Yuanyu had completed eight medical books, which were later known as the "Eight Kinds of Huang's Family", when he was fifty years old. Due to overwork, Huang Yuanyu at this time was already tired and sluggish, and the doorman Bi Wuling asked for notes on "Su Qing" and "Ling Shu", "Since he is only old, Xie Yue can't".　　In the early spring of the twentieth year of Qianlong (1756), at the request of the disciple Bi Wuling again, Huang Yuanyu began to interpret the "Su Qing", which was completed in November, counting thirteen volumes, and was named "Su Qing Suspense Solution". In this book, the saying of "five luck and six qi, southern politics and northern politics" is greatly untouched by previous generations. On May 2, 2001, Huang Yuanyu completed the nine volumes of the Lingshu Suspension Solution, and from May 16 to 22, he spent seven days to complete the two volumes of the "Difficult Scripture Suspension Solution", which is the so-called huang's medical book of three, the first eight, a total of eleven. There is also a book "Manuscript of The Jade Catalpa Zitang", which is a medical case and miscellaneous work of the Huang family.

Huang Yuanyu is not only deep in medicine, but also has profound achievements in Taoism and scripture. In February of the twenty-first year of Qianlong (1757), while engaging in medical writing, he also wrote a book entitled "Tao Te Ching" at the request of his friend Yu Mingju to interpret its philosophy and give play to its mysteries. In June of this year, on the basis of more than ten years of intensive study of Yi Li, he completed the book "Zhou Yi Hanging Elephant" to expound the theory of the change of yin and yang bagua words. Siku Guanchen commented on his "Zhou Yi Hanging Elephant" as saying, "In the "Yi" of the near people, it can be said that there is a basis for learning. "Highly rated.

In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1758), Huang Yuanyu was overworked in his medical practice and writing life, his body was weak, and he gradually became seriously ill, and returned to his hometown with an illness, living in the Southern Corner of Changyi City, and when he died on September 17, 1759, the twenty-third year of Qianlong (1759), he died suddenly, at the age of fifty-four, and was buried with the new Guo Zumu.

Huang Yuanyu began to engage in writing at the age of thirty-six, painstakingly operated for nearly twenty years, wrote fourteen kinds of books, and soon after his death, eleven kinds of medical books were compiled by Zhou Yongnian, all of which were compiled by the Siku Quanshu, all of which were included, and there were also publications in the folk, especially in Jiangnan and other provinces. The "Shandong Tongzhi" between Xuantongjian and zhao Erxun in the early years of the Republic of China and other "Qing History Drafts" were all passed down for them, and in the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), all walks of life in Changyi donated funds to repair the cemetery and petitioned to enter the ancestral hall of the xiangxian. And a monument was erected outside the southwest gate of the Hanging City and in the cemetery. Huang Yuanyu, like his ancestor Huang Fu, was finally listed in the Zhengshi History, and he was a sage in the countryside, and he set an example for thousands of years. So far, the most complete book containing Huang Yuanyu's works is "Thirteen Kinds of Huang Yuanyu Works" published by Shanxi Science and Technology Publishing House.
