Chapter 55 Turtle Breath
When Chen Ming saw these four words, his breathing became a little rapid. He had just started to study medicine and had to understand the top ten medical masters in China.
For example, Bian Que and Hua Tuo, that must be included. Hua Tuo's most exquisite medical book, the legendary "Qingnang Shu", was not passed down in the end, and it has always been a regret in the medical community... The elder who taught at that time was so emotional. As a result, the old village chief came and sent a book, which was directly "Hua Tuo's Remaining Chapter". How could people not be moved?
"Disappointed..." With curiosity and pilgrimage in mind, Chen Ming opened the first page and saw the content on it, and immediately showed a disappointed expression. The title page directly marked "This book was written by later generations and has nothing to do with Hua Tuo, but he used Hua Tuo's name to pass on his own medical skills." In other words, the content of this book actually has nothing to do with Hua Tuo.
However, after reading it, I felt a little more energetic. After all, the later evaluation of this book is "exquisite and unheard of, and the essence of medical skills is no less than that of Hua Tuo."
While in class, Chen Ming was forced to find the elders to ask: "Is there a situation in which he used to pass on his knowledge under the name of others, such as some great men in the industry?"
"This was normal in ancient times!" The teacher who taught the teacher didn't know why he asked that, but he also answered his question. "In the past, when there was no printing technique, books were almost hand-copied. Even if there was printing technique, it was not easy to survive. In terms of medical skills, some people were worried that their medical skills would be lost, so they issued their own medical books under the name of their predecessors. Such medical books can often survive longer, especially when verifying that most medical skills are effective."
According to him, in more than two thousand years, there are no less than two hundred medical books written in the name of Bian Que; there are more than two hundred medical books written in the name of Hua Tuo and Sun Simao. There are more medical books written by Shennong and the emperor, and there are three or four hundred of them...
Some are lost in history, and some are barely preserved. Although completeness is the best, there are many incompleteness, which is the biggest loss in the medical field. If not, traditional Chinese medicine would not be behind Western medicine.
I have to sigh that the doctors had a low status in the past, but after Sun Simiao, they started to be called doctors. In the early days, there was no distinction between witch doctors, and after they were separated, they were not called doctors, but doctors. They belonged to the category of craftsmen, so they were naturally a despicable profession.
Since the Song Dynasty, before Fan Zhongyan said the words "If you don't be a good minister, you will be a good doctor", most doctors have been passed down by family traditions. After this sentence, many literati began to join the team of practicing medicine.
But the quality is also different. A large number of scholars who have never really learned medical skills have practiced medicine everywhere with a few grass-towed prescriptions. I don’t know how many innocent people have harmed. The word quack doctor has also begun to be widely circulated...
Not to mention in modern times, it seems that witch doctors have begun to merge into one family again. This is not among doctors, but there are a lot of so-called medicines, all kinds of messy things. I don’t know whether it works, but it looks more like witchcraft than medicine.
It is rare that this thing is still popular, and it almost caused the Chinese medicine to be banned and abolished by the government.
Seeing the old man talking like this, Chen Ming couldn't stand it, so he quickly called for a stop and started today's teaching. As a result, when he looked back, it was actually more than twenty minutes... Today's course was delayed by one-third.
"Elder, he didn't do it on purpose, right?" Chen Ming couldn't help but complain in a low voice after leaving Shennongyuan. Thinking about it, it was impossible. What's the benefit of wasteing time for him?
But he figured it out that this thing should be the family of a doctor. He didn't want others to recognize him or was worried that his medical skills would be lost, so he had to publish a book under the name of Hua Tuo. Just the evaluation of the title page with the words "Not inferior to Hua Tuo" is worth a look.
Having said that, the morning class was not over yet, Chen Ming left Shennong Academy, but turned around and entered Jingwu Academy, and then started a day's body movement course. This thing mainly involves avoidance and reaction, and uses specific steps to move in a small range.
Earlier, in the early Yuechu, his sudden move to avoid the other party came from the concept of body skills.
As for the martial arts performance at the beginning of the month three days ago, he failed to win three consecutive games... This means that the work of Shennongyuan's dispensing medicine this month is a volunteer work. In order to avoid him being lazy, the manager stipulated that he had to provide at least 200 packs in two hours. At the same time, he also gave him preferential treatment strategies. The part that exceeds 200 packs is still calculated according to 50 cents per pack.
With his current proficiency, it is fine to pack about 350 in two hours, but there is no way to go if he has too much, and he still has 70 yuan a day.
"Did you find any results?" Yang Xiong came over to ask during lunch break.
"I probably know the situation." Chen Ming nodded, "It shouldn't be Hua Tuo's, but medical skills may be useful!"
"That thing is so obscure, I feel dizzy when I look at it. As expected, medical skills are too difficult for me! If you have this skill to remember the medicinal materials and medicinal properties, it is better to let me go and fight with someone for a few matches!" Yang Xiong shook his head. How powerful is it? It's meaningless to learn it.
"I went back to study and research. I took a rough look. Although there was no surgery, there were records of prescriptions and acupuncture. I guess I couldn't learn it at this stage. I first studied the basic knowledge at Shennongyuan for a period of time, and the problem should not be big." Chen Ming replied.
After dinner, the two returned to the dormitory. There was no class in the afternoon and they could rest until two o'clock. Get up early in the morning and take a nap is necessary. You can work hard at the age of sixteen to eighteen, but you are still too young at the age of twelve, so it is not a joke to combine work and rest.
"Huh?" leaning against the head of the bed, Chen Ming opened the "Hua Tuo Remnant Chapter". He probably understood the medicinal materials in front, but he couldn't understand the combination. There was a pair of medicinal materials that strengthened the foundation and cultivated the original. The difference between the medicinal materials used was the replacement of expensive ones with cheap medicinal materials.
"Is this just effective?" Chen Ming thought for a while. He had been dispensing medicines for more than a month in Shennongyuan, and he had already understood the price of the medicinal materials. After all, if this prescription is effective, if you take the medicine yourself, it would be about 100 yuan cheaper than buying the finished product directly, almost half the cheaper!
"No wonder the title page says 'strange ideas'. Depending on the situation, is it a proven prescription?" Chen Ming was really attracted by this book.
He still can't see through the acupuncture problem, and he remembers the acupuncture points, but how to find acupuncture points is also said that before learning the system, it is better not to try it casually.
"Hey?" In the middle, I saw all five animals, especially the schematic diagram of the bear show. I really wanted to be a big stupid bear, "Ha, take it for Yang Xiong to refer to, maybe I can really create a bear-shaped fist..."
When he reached the next page, his smile began to slowly calm down and then became solemn.
This is a set of breathing methods, called "Tortoise Breathing Method". Using this method can slowly reduce the breathing frequency and reduce the consumption of biological energy in the body. This thing is put together with "Five Animal Plays", and it is naturally a health preservation thing.
Using the above explanation... there are still some problems in translating into modern language. The content is probably: the divine turtle will live for thousands of years!
The core concept is to "energy saving and emission reduction", and use the smallest biological energy to supply the body's needs. When there is no need to exercise, it is best not to exercise. Exercise, and be calm and do not suddenly accelerate your heartbeat. In this way, less energy is consumed and you will naturally live longer.
