Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

That day, Zhang Jiebin arrived at Taiyuan Hospital early in the morning and heard a lot of people in the hospital. He did not rush in, but asked the door: "Is the number one scholar in the hospital?"

Menzi replied: "The third young master went to court early in the morning."

When Zhang Jiebin heard this, he realized that today was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which was the time of the three, six, and nine court meetings. So he told his disciples: "The Number One Scholar is back. Remember to tell him that I have something serious to tell him, and remember to ask him to come to me."

."

After Zhang Jiebin finished speaking, he sighed slightly. He had learned a lot in the past two days and found out that the doctors from all over the country were too strong and that the doctors from the north were no match at all. This made him not have much hope for the competition in ten days.

After thinking hard last night, he finally came up with a way to break the situation, but Zhu Guozuo needed to come forward.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Jiebin had already walked through the front yard and entered the second door. He saw that the open space on both the north and south sides was full of people.

Zhang Jiebin observed for a while and saw Yan Pingzhi chatting outside the lobby. He quickly walked over and saw Wang Dingxin also there.

"Brother Ping, brother Dingxin, why are you two here?"

Yan Pingzhi smiled and said: "Sure enough, since the day you decided to leave the Taiyuan Hospital, you have stopped calling me senior brother."

Wang Dingxin said: "I heard that doctors in Gyeonggi Province were screening patients today, so I came here specially to take a look."

"I think you made the wrong calculation and mistakenly took our Taiyuan Hospital as the target. I've made inquiries in the past two days. They are all coming from Nanyuan, Wuzhong, Xin'an, Yongjia, Qiantang, Jiaxing, and Xujiang."

He is not good."

Zhang Jiebin named several strong competitors in several places, but he deliberately ignored Shaoxing Prefecture. In his opinion, Shaoxing Prefecture without him and Ma Shi would have no fighting power.

Yan Pingzhi said: "Yes, I also heard that some businesses have opened a gambling market, but there are very few people betting on us to win."

Zhang Jiebin took the opportunity to say: "So we should all unite to the outside world and hate to defeat the prestige of various places. Although we have left the Taiyuan Hospital now, the Taiyuan Hospital is embarrassed, and we may not be glorious."

"It makes sense, so Sir, please go and fight for us!" Wang Dingxin said with a smile.

Yan Pingzhi agreed: "Yes, don't count on us. Who doesn't know that our land in Yu is in dire need of doctors. If we change our ranks at the last minute, how can we have the dignity to go back to our hometown to see our elders?"

Zhang Jiebin also laughed when he heard this, and said to the people watching the show: "I am an outsider helping the Taiyuan Hospital to recruit people, and you just watch like this?"

"I can't help it. Who gave me this confidence? Even if you don't participate, the four of us can still take the top five." Ma Shi said very confidently.

As soon as Ma Shi opened his mouth, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Chen Shigong said: "It's good to compete with masters from all over the world. Winning or losing is the next best thing."

Yu Yaori smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you know that Brother Feng Lai also came to fight on behalf of Shaoxing Prefecture? I was thinking that since we can't fight on behalf of Shaoxing, we might as well bring Brother Feng Lai over and let everyone fight for Taiyuan Hospital."

never mind."

Among everyone, Zhang Jiebin, Ma Shi, and Yu Yaori were all from Shaoxing Prefecture, and so was Meng Fenglai. The four of them were considered the best in Shaoxing Prefecture.

At this moment, the gong sounded and everyone gathered towards the north hall.

Zhu Ru and a group of medical officers from Tai Hospital were waiting there.

Wang Men banged the gong and said loudly: "Written test in the morning and waiting room in the afternoon. Everyone hurry up. We won't do a body search because you can't find the answer even if you look through the book."

As he spoke, he pointed at the dining hall next to him with his mallet: "If you have a cheat sheet, please send it to the dining hall to light the fire, so that the lunch meal can be cooked earlier."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and one person said: "Sir, you look down on us too much. We all came from various counties and all have real talents and learning."

Gong Tingxian smiled and said: "The official Wang is not talking about you, he is talking about us incompetent disciples. As soon as the examination comes, we will bring all kinds of cheat sheets. We are afraid that they will be embarrassed and thrown out of the capital."

Wang Men knocked the gong again and said loudly: "Have you heard what Imperial Doctor Gong said? That's enough for normal times. Don't cheat with me this time. If you can't do it, give the opportunity to others."

"Okay, the Imperial Hospital and people from various government offices will sit aside later. Now everyone is asked to enter the North Hall in an orderly manner."

After Wang Men finished speaking, everyone entered the North Hall one by one. Under the command of the medical officers, more than 80 young doctors from various prefectures and more than 70 medical doctors took their seats in an orderly manner.

Zhang Jiebin and Chen Shigong were also divided into three rooms. When everyone was seated, six medical officers distributed examination papers to everyone in turn.

Each person was given two test questions. When Zhang Jiebin got the first test question, he saw that it was all fill-in-the-blank questions, and the questions were from the four classics.

These questions are not difficult, they are just to weed out those who are just trying to pass the test.

After answering the fill-in-the-blank questions, it soon came to the short-answer questions. But...the first short-answer question opened Zhang Jiebin's eyes.

"Ask: How is Hua Tuo's method of treating typhoid fever different from Zhong Jing's method? Which one is better, Zhong Jing's or Yuan Hua's method?"

Zhang Jiebin couldn't help but shook his head. This question really tested his thinking ability! Moreover, which one is Zhong Jing's Yuanhua technique?

He actually asked Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing who was better at curing typhoid fever!

Everyone knows that Hua Tuo is good at surgery and Zhang Zhongjing is good at internal medicine, but the first question happened to be such a question!

Fortunately, Zhang Jiebin was also well-read and had seen relevant records of Hua Tuo in the works of medical doctors of the past dynasties. Therefore, he was not stumped and started answering the questions directly.

Zhang Jiebin wrote: "The Jin Fang contains Hua Tuo's words: If you suffer from typhoid fever, it will be on the skin for one day, and it will be cured by rubbing ointment and moxibustion on the skin. If you don't understand it, it will be on the skin for two days. You can use acupuncture to relieve the sweat and relieve it.

, Sweat will heal. If you don’t understand, it will stay in your muscles for three days..."

"Yong said: The art of Yuanhua refers to the date as the waiting time. Although Zhongjing refers to the sun, he must observe the evidence of the six meridians of yin and yang..."

"As for the superiority of Zhongjing's Yuanhua technique, I don't think it's easy to know. Generally speaking, Zhongjing's technique can be obtained from knowledge; the Yuanhua technique can be obtained from mental understanding. The inner understanding is unpredictable, and it can be used in many ways, and it can be learned

Few people can follow it, but they must want to follow the subtleties of the saints and serve as a model for hundreds of generations. Who else but Zhongjing can follow it? Therefore, Zhongjing’s approach to medicine should be kept as it is; Yuanhua’s approach to medicine should be followed as it changes...

"

Zhang Jiebin wrote it very seriously. This question was asked very well, which not only tested the basics, but also had profound meaning.

The most important thing is that the second question actually tests the clinical understanding.

This shows that what the examiner needs to know is the person doing the question’s own clinical understanding, which is very important.

Zhang Jiebin did it very seriously. It looked like an assessment, but in fact it was also a sorting out of knowledge and insights.

I have to say that he is definitely a master who can come up with such a question! I just don’t know who created it.

…

At this time, in the lobby a few feet away, Zhu Ru, Yang Jishi, and Gong Tingxian were sitting around, talking and laughing.

Zhu Ru said with a smile: "You are deliberately making things difficult for them, right? These test questions are too difficult!"

"Now I'm starting to worry about whether anyone will pass the assessment this time."
