Chapter 709
"Even if you win the competition, or one day you really become the number one needle in the world, if you want to decorate your store, you might as well ask me to write sub-words, which will definitely be more attainable than the calligraphy piece hanging on it now." After saying this, Luo Ziling admired what he had just written with satisfaction, and then put down his pen.
Because he was writing with a little anger, the deceit written by Luo Ziling was even better than usual, and he was very satisfied with reading it himself.
If there were no one else, Yang Qingyin was standing beside him, and he would definitely point at Yang Qingyin and brag about him.
Although he didn't brag today, he looked quite proud after putting down his pen.
"Luo family boy, don't think you can write a few words and get carried away." Gu Jianan certainly would not admit that Luo Ziling's words were even more written than what he wrote, and said contemptuously: "It's just a sign. I hope your acupuncture method will not disappoint you later."
As he said that, he shouted at Gu Changwei: "Please come out of our bronze man."
When Luo Ziling heard Gu Jianan ask for the bronze man, he suddenly jumped.
Could it be that there is a bronze man in Gu Jian'an who is acupuncture here?
Luo Ziling learned through his grandfather's words and some information that during the Song Dynasty, the famous medical scientist Wang Weiyi was very knowledgeable about acupuncture. He compiled the masterpieces of his predecessors and wrote a book. He followed the order of Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen of Song Dynasty to make two acupuncture bronze men.
It is naturally one of the most famous medical classics related to acupuncture treatment in ancient times, but the most amazing thing is the two acupuncture bronze men personally supervised by Wang Weiyi.
Acupuncture bronze man, also known as "Tiansheng Bronze Man", is an acupuncture model cast with fine copper. Its body shape is the same as that of a normal adult man. The shell consists of two pieces in front and back, with built-in organs, and fourteen meridians, including three yangs of human body, and 657 acupoints on the surface. The names of acupuncture points are marked on the edges of the acupuncture points. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and can be used for teaching and assessment.
When using it, apply yellow wax on the surface of the copper man, block the acupoint holes and inject water or mercury into the body. When the examiner or apprentice takes the acupoint into the needle, if the acupoint is selected accurately, after the acupoint is stabbed, mercury or water will flow out of the acupoint. If the acupoint is not stabbed, that is, the acupoint is selected incorrectly, then there will be no liquid flowing out, and even the needle cannot be stabbed.
These two bronze men combined are classic textbooks for learning acupuncture universities.
There are two bronze men with acupuncture. After the casting is completed, they will be placed in the Hanlin Medical Officer's Hospital in the capital Bianliang and the Renji Hall of the Daxiangguo Temple.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens invaded the south, and one of the bronze men disappeared.
In the eighth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, given that the meridians of the bronze man and the acupoints were blurred and difficult to identify, the Ming Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ordered a skilled craftsman to copy them. Since then, the bronze man acupuncture in the Song Dynasty has lost records and his whereabouts are unknown. Even if it appeared later, it was just a copy.
Luo Ziling has never met the Bronze Man, but he has studied this book since he was a child and did not use the Bronze Man for teaching. This is Luo Ziling's regret and Luo Liansheng's regret.
Luo Liansheng regretted that he failed to own a bronze man, and also regretted that he could not make a bronze man.
Luo Ziling didn't know if Gu Jianan said "Ask the Bronze Man" was about to bring the acupuncture bronze man out to compete.
Just as Luo Ziling's curiosity was that Gu Changwei directed several people around him to move out a statue covered with red cloth from the next room next door.
Wu Hongwei had heard of the acupuncture of the bronze man, but he had not heard of it. Wang Tongshan and Yang Qingyin, who were studying medicine, but they had never heard of it. They did not know the meaning of the bronze man in the acupuncture of the bronze man. Therefore, when Gu Changwei was very respectful to direct his subordinates to put the statue in the reception room, they did not react too much.
After putting the statue down, Gu Jianan personally lifted the red cloth covering his head.
The moment the red cloth was lifted, Luo Ziling and Wu Hongwei couldn't help but exclaim.
"I believe Teacher Wu has heard of the acupuncture bronze man?" Seeing that Wu Hongwei and Luo Ziling changed their faces, Gu Jianan was very proud. He ignored Wu Hongwei's reaction and said to Luo Ziling with contempt: "I asked your grandfather to compete in acupuncture methods, and used this bronze man as a bet. If he beat me, this bronze man would belong to him. But Old Man Luo did not have the confidence to compete with me, and this bronze man would always belong to me."
"But this is not the bronze man of the Song Dynasty, nor the Tiansheng bronze man imitated by the Ming Dynasty, but the thing made by later generations," Luo Ziling walked forward, observed it carefully, and said to Gu Jian'an: "So, the collection value of this bronze man's cultural relics is not very high."
"But the actual purpose is very large, right?" Gu Jianan did not deny Luo Ziling's words. After laughing, he said, "Because of this bronze man, I have taught many disciples with outstanding acupuncture techniques, Chang Wei is one."
"Are you going to add this bronze man to bet?" Luo Ziling looked at Gu Jianan in surprise, "If you want to add this bronze man to the bet, I have to think about how to transport him away in a while."
Luo Ziling's arrogant words made Gu Jianan almost vomit blood.
But what made him want to hit someone even more was that Luo Ziling said something even more belittled by him.
"Anyway, it's not very useful to you. Why don't you think the bet is lost to me, and I can also use the bronze man more and more. " Seeing that Gu Jianan was going crazy, Luo Ziling ignored it, but just said lightly: "My bet can also add something you are interested in. It was compiled by my grandfather, but it has not been officially named."
"Luo Ziling, don't bully people too much," Gu Changwei couldn't help but jump up when he saw his grandfather being very angry, and shouted angrily at Luo Ziling: "This is the heirloom of our Gu family. It's not something you made up for. You are too much and belittle us again and again. If you dare to do this, don't blame us for not giving you face."
But what was surprising was that Gu Jianan was not angry, but after a strange flashed on his face, he asked coldly: "Old man Luo's prescription is filled with you?"
"Of course," Luo Ziling said, taking out a thread-pack book from the pocket he brought, "Here."
"Take it to me!" Gu Jianan stretched out his hand to Luo Ziling, "I want to see the authenticity."
"Impossible," Luo Ziling refused directly and put the thick booklet in his pocket. "If you win me, this prescription collection is yours, and you will have no problem reading it anyway. But before winning me, you have no chance to read the content. If you suspect that this prescription collection is fake, it is your freedom, and I will not force you to believe it."
