Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

When Gong Yanxian saw Yang Ji, he looked at him and smiled, and said angrily: "Acupuncture is what you learned at home, so what's the point of being better than me? After all your hard work, you have figured out the acupuncture method and identified the acupuncture points. I can't use it yet."

Just use it when you come. I'm afraid you will have to sigh when you fall: It's a shame to press gold thread every year to make wedding clothes for others."

"I am happy. How can a doctor take care of himself and cling to his shortcomings instead of making progress?" Yang Jishi chuckled.

"Isn't the "Secret Secrets of Hygiene Acupuncture" passed down from your family just passed down from generation to generation, so that everyone can cherish it? I have never seen it printed and distributed." Gong Yanxian said indeed.

"This is the order of my ancestors, and I can't change it, but I can publish my own acupuncture experience to the world."

Yang Jishi was silent at first, and then said that he had found a balance between his will and his mission. That is to publish what he has learned to the world, rather than directly publishing the family secret recipe, which does not violate filial piety.

In all walks of life, every family and every race, it is the norm to cherish one's own faults. It is a practice recognized by all walks of life and is called a family secret.

In an era of wars and frequent dynasty changes, preserving ancient books and techniques is of great contribution. This approach can be said to not put eggs in one basket.

The only secret manuals and miraculous skills mastered by the state have disappeared into thin air and wandered around the world. Instead, they are private collections, and family skills can be passed down from generation to generation.

Looking at today's Ming Dynasty, only a few places in the south of the Yangtze River are full of families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

The role of secret skills passed down from family in preserving skills cannot be ignored, but the damage to skills cannot be ignored either. There are many families that have passed down the inheritance, and there are even more families that have interrupted the inheritance.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, the only one without interruption was the Confucian family, and the Confucian family only passed down scriptures, not skills.

Among official and private transmissions, there is another important way of inheritance, which is to publish and distribute it in volumes and publish it to the world in the form of books. In ancient times, this could only be passed down for a while, and it also made a significant contribution to the continuation of knowledge and skills.

Contribute.

Since the Song Dynasty, it has gradually become the mainstream.

Most of the books published in the Song and Yuan Dynasties have become rare and rare copies in private collections within a few hundred years. In the inheritance of books, there is also the possibility of being lost, and in terms of preservation skills, they are not necessarily better than family heirlooms.
Just publishing it in the world, the biggest role is not to preserve it, but to spread it. Firstly, to benefit more people in the current world, and secondly, to spread it to future generations.

"That's right. I compiled my father's medical notes and summarized the doctors' experiences for the purpose of publishing them for the chief physician's reference." Gong Yanxian said cheerfully, and it was magical and quite impressive.

At this time, Gong Yanxian was not the top medical scholar who was endorsed by the royal family, respected by the world, and regarded as the number one medical scholar in the world more than ten years later.

But competition is competition, and he does not lack the required medical ethics and responsibility.

Yang Jishi smiled and said to Jin Ying: "Brother Mengshi, do you know that during the holiday, we doctors will gather together to discuss medical matters?"

Jin Ying nodded and said with a smile: "Ru Yuan had someone send me a message a few days ago to inform me, and also told me about the recommended doctors from the Tai Hospital this year. But our medical forest is in such a prosperous age, I will not be absent."<

/p>

"If we forget anyone, we dare not forget my brother!" Gong Yanxian interjected.

"By the way, I would like to introduce you to two of them, both of whom I made friends with in times of need when I was in the army. This Zhang Shoufeng, also known as Chang Geng, abandoned his military career and became a doctor. He is also our new doctor Lin, and his only son Jie Bin is my close disciple.

”

Jin Ying first set the tone, then introduced Zhang Shoufeng to everyone, and then introduced Yuan Biao: "This Yuan Biao, whose courtesy name is Qingyuan, is a descendant of Mr. Yuan Shenpo of Jiashan."

Everyone was in awe after hearing this. In terms of medical skills, Yuan Ren may not be as good as Xue Lizhai, Wang Ji, Jiang Guan, Wu Qiu, Tan Yunxian and other doctors of his generation, but in terms of medical name and status, these doctors are hard to match.

Without him, the medical community has always been subordinate to the scholarly officialdom, and the medical community is dependent on the literary community. Doctors have no independent status, and even their current social status is raised by Fan Zhongyan's personal statement that "if you are not a good minister, you must be a good doctor."

p>

Of course, there are not many doctors who stand up to carry the banner of the rise and fall of the medical community. That is Zhang Zhongjing. He first proposed the great medical spirit of "advancing to save the world, retreating to save the people", and even wrote a book to explain the origin of typhoid fever.

.

However, at this time, Zhang Zhongjing's status was not lofty. He was only one of the eighteen famous doctors in the past. Only some doctors respected him as a sub-sage. There was no medical consensus yet, and he was far from being a medical saint respected by doctors in later generations.

Nowadays, doctors respect the Three Emperors, the first doctors, and they are all respected figures from all walks of life. It can also be seen from Zhang Zhongjing's status that the medical community at this time did not form a common understanding and there was no soul figure among doctors.

And all this is about to change. Doctors realize that when they wake up, they only need an opportunity.

The status of Yuan Ren and Yuan Shenpo was so high that most doctors could not reach it in their lifetime. It can be said that they were the benchmark and the banner for doctors at that time. Yuan Ren did not live up to the expectations of the public, and he had equal dialogues with famous doctors at that time, which to a certain extent raised the upper limit of doctors.<

/p>

This is why everyone is in awe when they learn that Yuan Biao is the son of Yuan Ren, and why Jin Ying complains about Yuan Biao abandoning medicine and becoming a Confucian scholar.

Jin Ying was very dissatisfied with this and snorted: "It doesn't have to be like this. He is just a traitor in the medical field. He has not received the true biography of Mr. Shenpo. He has already abandoned medicine and followed Confucianism. He is not a fellow Xinglin fellow."

The crowd was in an uproar, feeling like their faith was broken and they were betrayed.

Gong Yanxian said bitterly: "Why do I feel so aggrieved? I know that everyone has their own ambitions and they have the freedom to choose, but I just don't feel comfortable."

Yang Jishi said thoughtfully: "I finally understand why Brother Ruyuan wanted to create Yiyitang, and why Bank of China established a medical sage. It's probably because our generation of doctors is weak and humble, and we don't know it yet."

"It's not too late to know your shame and then be brave," Jin Ying said.

"I'm even more looking forward to the gathering of Yiyi Tang. The medical community of our generation should unite. It is our Taiyuan Hospital that has failed in its duty and has been unable to shoulder the responsibility of integrating the world's doctors. On the contrary, Yiyi Tang has done it first."

Gong Yanxian said that at this moment he has a deep sense of responsibility and realizes that he may be able to do more. Xu Chunfu is only one year older than him, and he is even one year older than Fang Youzhixu. But compared with these two peers, he

Gong Yanxian seems so incompetent, and what he does every day seems so ridiculous.

If before, he had a sense of responsibility and a sense of responsibility, so he wanted to organize the medical experience of his father's generation and benefit the world. Now, he wants to take a step closer and become Xu Chunfu. Only then can he have a great influence on the entire medical field like Xu Chunfu.

Contributors.

"Xin'an doctors have been ahead of us time and time again, we can't always lag behind!" Yang Jishi sighed.
