The healing methods of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting have been passed down for thousands of years in ancient China. Just one pulse cutting technique is breathtaking. There is no need to use large equipment to take photographs or insert instruments into the body for prying eyes. By placing a fingertip on the patient's wrist, the doctor can accurately identify the lesion and gain insight into the cause of the disease. Western instruments are well-constructed, but they do not see the veins that run throughout the human body. By cutting the pulse, Chinese medicine can immediately prescribe the right medicine, and even cure the disease. This kind of psychic science has been sealed in the dust in the surviving ancient books, and this article will cite only a few examples from the Qing Dynasty.
The famous doctor Wang Dingxuan who gave the deceased a pulse
Wang Dingxuan, whose name is Taiwei, was born in Wuyuan County, Anhui Province. He loved to read since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became a talent in the county. In addition to studying, he is also very proficient in medical skills.
Zhang Xianling's mother was seriously ill, and there was no doctor in the county who could treat him, so after inviting Wang Dingxuan to go, he drank a few pairs of medicines he prescribed. The county magistrate was very grateful to him, and personally inscribed the words "Minggao Tangerine Well", praised him as a good doctor, and made a plaque for him. Since then, the two have often come and gone and become inseparable friends.
Wang Dingxuan's medical skills are outstanding, and his pulse skills are even more unique. One day, he went to the city to run errands, and on his way home, he met a passer-by who was in a hurry to find a doctor. He was invited to his house by the man. As soon as he entered the house, he found that the furnishings in the house were all new, which was different from the nearby farmhouses.
At this time, a woman came out of the back room, she said that she was not feeling well, and hoped that Wang Dingxuan could treat her. But when Wang Dingxuan gave her the pulse, she felt a little strange. Because the woman's pulse was peaceful, she did not suffer from any illness at all. Wang Dingxuan was also surprised to find that judging from the pulse, she was either a fairy or a ghost.
But the woman was so good that when she heard that she was not sick, she went back to the back room. Wang Dingxuan didn't think much about it, got up and left. On the way, he took out some notes that the woman had given him when she paid for the consultation, intending to buy something. It turned out that those banknotes were all dark money, so I decided to go back. But when I got there, the house was gone, and there were only a few new graves standing in their place.
He returned home and told his neighbors what he had encountered on the road. A neighbor told him, "Don't you know, but a woman in that village was seriously ill; I heard your name for a long time, so I told my family to invite you. She said that only by letting you give her a pulse can she die without regrets. Now it seems that she didn't invite you when she was alive, and she will get what she wants after she dies! ”
The famous doctor who predicted the death of the patient wished Xingxia
Zhu Xingxia is a native of Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province. He studied Confucianism since childhood, but he failed repeatedly. Because of his extensive reading, he has a unique understanding of Qihuang art. Others asked him: "You are good at learning, why don't you take the road of official career?" He replied, "I am content to be able to help others with my medical skills." "The pulse is mysterious, but I wish Xingxia can refine the pulse technique to perfection.
There was a young man surnamed Li, who had just turned 16 years old, but he had been ill for a long time. His family called many doctors for treatment, but they couldn't cure him. After Zhu Xingxia checked his pulse, he said to his family: "It's okay, it will get better in two days." After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked the family: "Is the child married?" The family replied, "I've already been hired." When he heard this, he said, "Then marry quickly, and perhaps leave an heir." Wait until next winter, this child's illness is going to be **, and then I am afraid it will be difficult to get better. And it turned out to be exactly what he said.
I wish Xingxia to be upright and upright. He has hung pots for many years, never greedy for fame and fortune, and the villagers respect him very much. He has cured countless patients, but he always refuses to accept gifts or remuneration from others.
Peng Zihui, a famous doctor who predicted the undeveloped disease
Peng Zihui, the ancestor of the word Xue, was born in Nanchang Mansion, Jiangxi Province. He studied medicine with his younger brother since he was a child, and when he grew up, he left home and moved to live in Weixian County, Shandong Province. Later, he rose to fame and established a deep friendship with Zhai Liang (whose name is Yuhua), another famous doctor in Shandong. Studying with famous doctors has made Peng Zihui's medical skills grow greatly.
He is proficient in pulse art, and after giving people a pulse, he knows the crux of the problem, and can prescribe the right medicine before the patient becomes ill. He checked the pulse of a fellow villager, told him to pay attention to his body, and predicted that he would suffer from chancre in ten years. At first, the fellow didn't think so, but ten years later he really got the disease.
Peng Zihui can not only diagnose other people's undeveloped diseases, but also accurately tell the period of his own life and death. He told his family that he would die in a certain month and year, and he did not need to be sent back to his hometown when he was buried, as long as he was buried in Weixian. Later, the day he died was exactly as he said. A few years later, his younger brother also moved to Weixian, so that his medical skills could be passed on in the family.
Li Rongtao, a famous doctor who accurately found out the root cause of the disease
Li Rongtao, with a high style of words, was born in Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province. When he was young, he was a Confucian scholar in the county, and he had no intention of becoming famous because of his open-mindedness and casualness. He has always been extremely attentive in his medical skills, and is proficient in the art of massage, and has used this technique to save the sick many times. The professors in the school and the county magistrate all saluted him.
His pulse technique is also extraordinary. I once met with a friend and found that he had a bad face, so I took his hand and took the pulse. Then, he said to his friend, "Your body seems to be fine, but one of the organs in your body is no longer good, I am afraid that you are worried about your life, and you must be treated as soon as possible." My friend didn't believe me, and he died within a few days of getting home. He can find out the root cause of the disease and the severity of the disease by checking the pulse, almost exactly the same.
In his later years, Li Rongtao wrote his experience in diagnosis and treatment into the book "The Purpose of Doctors". After reading the tens of thousands of words of records, his younger brother said with emotion: "If it can be published, it will definitely benefit more people." ”
