Wuyou finished a plate of dumplings, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and put the plate aside: "Zhang Zhongjing was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This was a very turbulent era. Not only were relatives and eunuchs fighting and killing each other, but also the disasters of the Party and Sui were Peasant uprisings and wars between powerful powers are all man-made disasters. In addition to man-made disasters, there are also natural disasters. From time to time there are epidemics, and many, many people have been killed by diseases."

"Take the Zhang family for example. The Zhang family is a large family. The original population was more than 200. However, after several rounds of epidemics, in less than ten years, two-thirds of the population died, many of whom were infected by typhoid fever. This loss of life made Zhang Zhongjing very sad, and he made up his mind to learn medicine to save people, and also devoted himself to studying typhoid fever, and he must conquer typhoid fever."

"When he was about ten years old, he became a disciple of Zhang Bozu, a famous local doctor. He read a lot of books and absorbed the experience of various medical experts for clinical diagnosis. He soon became a famous doctor. In the following decades, Zhang Zhongjing studied ancient times while studying He wrote medical books while making clinical diagnoses to accumulate experience, and finally became a master of medicine."

“He wrote the masterpiece Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases which has been handed down from generation to generation, and established the principle of dialectical treatment, which is the basic clinical principle of traditional Chinese medicine and the soul of traditional Chinese medicine.”

"In addition to writing Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, Zhang Zhongjing also wrote ten volumes on the defense of Febrile Diseases, one volume on prescriptions for treating diseases, two volumes on prescriptions for treating women, one volume on Five Tibetan Treatises, and one volume on Orality. Unfortunately, these books have long since been It has been lost and only the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases has been circulated in the world, but this book alone is enough to make him a respected medical giant, and he deserves to be called a medical sage."

When Wuyou said this, many people in the Eastern Han Dynasty clenched their fists in anger.

"Why did you lose it?"

"There are so many medical books, why are they gone?"

"If it spreads, I don't know how many people can be saved."

There are also some wealthy businessmen who are going to find Zhang Zhongjing.

They wanted to pay for Zhang Zhongjing's book to be published, and they wanted to print more of it, and they must not let these books get lost.

If these medical books were only copied and there were too few of them and were lost, then they would have to print more and print hundreds or thousands of copies. I don’t believe they could be lost.

In Zhang Zhongjing's later years, his disciples were all surrounding him: "Teacher, we would like to ask someone to help you copy a few more copies of these books. The medical books that the teacher has worked hard to organize must not be lost."

Zhang Zhongjing looked at the sky, and after a long time nodded in agreement: "Okay, I still have some money here, you can find some scholars to help copy."

Qin Dynasty

The First Emperor looked at the sky. He really wanted a great talent like Zhang Zhongjing.

Looking back, the First Emperor said to Xia Wuji: "Wuji, if I and you find medical books, can you teach some students?"

Xia Wuji held up his hands as a courtesy: "I am willing."

汉朝

Liu Che had forgotten about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He happily said to his left and right: "The Medical Sage, the Medical Sage, is the Medical Sage of my Han Dynasty. I already have four saints."

Isn't that right? The first three were the three sages of the same dynasty when Deng Sui came to power. Plus a medical sage makes it four.

"Haha." Liu Che was very happy: "I am still a big man, but the Qin Dynasty has no one."

After thinking for a while, he added: "It didn't exist in the Tang Dynasty either."

Wei Qing reminded him: "Your Majesty, there was a poet sage in the Tang Dynasty, and a ci sage in the Song Dynasty."

Liu Che glared at Wei Qing: "Will you die if you don't speak?"

Wuyou stood up and put the plate in the kitchen. After sitting down again, he started to search for information on the computer: "Well, the person we are talking about next is also a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is the Hua Tuo we talked about before. Talking about Hua Tuo refers to his long life and his death by Cao Cao. Let’s talk about Hua Tuo’s medical achievements now.”    “In modern times, Hua Tuo is known as the master of surgery and the originator of surgery. This shows that he has made great achievements in surgery. extraordinary."

"Hua Tuo was the first expert in the history of our country to create surgical procedures, and the first person in the world to invent anesthetics. He also invented the use of acupuncture to treat diseases, and was one of the founders of ancient medical sports."

"Why is he said to be the founder of medical sports? Because he was very good at maintaining health. The biography of Hua Tuo in the Later Han Dynasty records that he was a hundred years old, but he still had a strong appearance. At that time, people thought he was an immortal."

"That is to say, he is over a hundred years old, but he still looks like he is in his prime. People at that time called him an immortal. Why is Hua Tuo in such good health? This has something to do with the Wu Qin Xi he created..."

While Wuyou was talking, he played a clip of practicing Wu Qin Xi.

"Hua Tuo invented the anesthetic, Mafei San, which was 1600 years earlier than the American dentist Moulton successfully invented ether anesthesia."

"What do anesthetics do?"

"We all know that people will inevitably get injured in this life. Surgery is often unavoidable, especially in war years. There are many people injured on the battlefield. If you want to survive, you have to undergo surgery. During the surgery, Most people can't bear the pain, and the role of anesthetic is to make people lose consciousness during surgery, no longer feel pain, or reduce pain."

When Wuyou said this, many people stood up.

Especially those generals who have fought hundreds of battles.

No one understands the cruelty of war better than them, and the powerlessness they feel after every war when they see injured soldiers dying without treatment.

"If... if this is really the case, how many people will live? This Hua Tuo is really the Buddha of thousands of families."

Wuyou continued speaking slowly and softly.

"Before there was no anesthesia, how much risk was involved in surgery? People who have never been injured may not know. To make it more vivid and intuitive, let's tell a short story first."

"This story did not happen in our country, but in the West..."

"There are no anesthetics in the West, and some people have to undergo surgery when they are injured, and some require amputation, that is, a broken leg or hand. When such an operation is performed, the patient is undoubtedly in great pain. To relieve the patient's pain, without anesthetics, the doctor needs to act quickly, especially quickly..."

"How fast is it? The leg on this side has been removed, but the patient on the other side hasn't felt it yet."

Wuyou played a short clip as he spoke: "At that time, in order to seek excitement, people even bought tickets to see surgeries... The person we are going to talk about is Robert Liston from Scotland, who is known as the fastest surgeon in England. His knife How fast? The fastest time was to perform an amputation operation in twenty-eight seconds."

In order to let everyone know more intuitively how long twenty-eight seconds is, Wuyou even took out a stopwatch and ticked it for everyone to see.

After reading it, he continued: "But, during a certain operation, this guy went a little too far. He cut the saw twice like this, and three screams came from his ears. Why were there three screams?"

Wuyou stopped here, looked at the camera and smiled: "Let's take a guess."
