"Oh, I feel so uncomfortable!Can't wait that long!Li Shizhen, a person who lacks medical experience, hesitated and said, "Then I'll try it." When my father came home and saw the prescription, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Li Shizhen was born in a family of medicine, however, at that time, Langzhong's status was quite low, and Li Yanwen hoped that his son would concentrate on studying and Xi and gain fame. It's a pity that Li Shizhen won the show at the age of 14, and since then she has won nothing, and she has failed in the three township exams. Although his father expected him to achieve something, Li Shizhen devoted himself to medicine. Since he was a child, he followed his father to practice medicine, and he paid attention to his Xi studies, and he also mastered a lot of medical knowledge.
One day, two patients came to the hospital, one with swollen eyes and the other with diarrhea. The two were in pain, but Li Yanwen took his eldest son out for consultation, leaving Li Shizhen alone in the hospital. He told them, "My father is out and will come back in the evening, and you may have to wait a while." However, the unbearable condition of the two made them sweat profusely in less than a stick of incense. In the end, they begged Li Shizhen painfully: "No, no, we can't wait, we are so uncomfortable, you are the son of the doctor, please, save us!."Although Li Shizhen has mastered a lot of medical knowledge, he has not really practiced it, because doctors need to be cautious. Despite the struggle, he couldn't help but soften when he looked up and saw the painful and expectant eyes of the two patients. So, he said to the two, "Otherwise, I'll give you a prescription first, and you can go back and try it." The two naturally agreed, took the recipe and left.
In the evening, Li Yanwen went home and saw the prescription on the table, and he was nervous. He hurriedly asked his son what had happened. Li Shizhen told the whole story of the matter. Li Yanwen nervously took the prescription, and after carefully examining it, the tension in his heart eased slightly. This kid not only learned a lot of medical skills, but also was able to combine the knowledge and actual situation in the book to prescribe the right medicine. Li Yanwen was both happy and pleasantly surprised. Lang Zhong said aggrievedly: "Heaven and earth conscience, the prescription I prescribed is no problem!."He handed Li Shizhen the prescription, and even handed him the medicine jar for decoction. Li Shizhen grabbed the medicine residue, smelled it, tasted it, and after careful comparison, he found that there was a wrong herb in it. He got up and picked up the medicine residue and the recipe and told everyone: "The medical books confuse these two different herbs, so many people are misled and their illnesses worsen. After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and sighed for a while, because this Jianghu Langzhong was also misled by the book, and he had no choice but to let the person go.
Soon after, the wrong medication was used again. There was a doctor who treated a mentally ill person and used a medicine called anti-sunflower, but the patient did not get better after taking the medicine, and he died as a resultThere is also a weak person who originally wanted to drink some tonic medicine to nourish his body, but he didn't expect to die because he drank the wrong medicine!The reason is that the medicine prescribed to him by the doctor is mixed with a tonic called yellow essence. After further research, it was learned that these flavors were all mixed up in ancient books, but their properties and toxicity were not the same.
Li Shizhen realized that although ancient medical books contain a wealth of knowledge and valuable experience, there are also some mistakes. If it is not corrected in time, doctors will rely on it for a long time, and there will be endless consequences. As a result, Li Shizhen came up with the idea of sorting out the attributes of various herbs. In Jiajing's 30 years, he was recommended to work in Tai Hospital. In the treasured classics of the imperial palace, his horizons were broadened and his field of knowledge was enriched, which laid a solid foundation for his compilation of the Compendium of Materia Medica. However, in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Li Shizhen resolutely resigned from his job at Tai Hospital, returned to his hometown and founded Dongbitang, and began to practice medicine. He conducted in-depth investigation and research on drugs, and after 27 years of accumulation and attempts, he finally completed the pharmacological work "Compendium of Materia Medica".
In the process of compiling the Compendium of Materia Medica, it is difficult to determine the growth and shape of the drugs due to the mixing of drugs. Although there are some records in ancient medical books, they are all copied repeatedly, and they are confusing. Therefore, he not only "collected hundreds of clans" but also "interviewed all directions" and conducted in-depth investigations. There is a flower in the north called the mandala flower, which makes people dance when eaten. Hearing this, Li Shizhen packed up, left his hometown, and embarked on a journey to find mandala flowers. He trekked through mountains and rivers, traveled to many places, and finally found the mandala flower in Wudang Mountain. In order to better understand the properties of the mandala flower, he tried it himself and noted down the toxicity of the flower and the symptoms it produces. He confirmed that soy alone could not detoxify, but when licorice was added, the effect was significant. In order to understand how the mandala achieves the effect of anesthesia, he did not hesitate to test the drug, gradually increasing the dose, and finally found the optimal dose for the development of anesthesia, which is detailed in the book. His "Compendium of Materia Medica" pioneered the plant taxonomy, which showed the complex forms of various drugs in a variety of ways, which was easy to learn and Xi and identified, and prevented mixing and misuse. He has pushed the research of pharmacology in our country to a new stage.
Li Shizhen's deeds of trying a hundred herbs are said to be a good story, and his footprints are all over the country. He practiced and learned extensively from the working people, and Xi mountain people, fishermen, farmers, and hunters all became his mentors. His courage to innovate, his dedication to tasting the mandala, and his humble attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions are all models for our descendants to learn Xi from!Text: Cheese balls.
