The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 22 Epoch-making Medicine
"We know too little about the human body, and the classification of diseases is too general...Take Qi disease as an example. Diseases such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, trachea, etc. are collectively called Qi disease..."

"The inflammation of the trachea is an air disease, the tuberculosis is an air disease, and my mother's asthma is also an air disease... But the trachea and the five internal organs are obviously not a system, and the causes and treatments are completely different. It would be irresponsible to have to put them together..."

"The heart is just a blood supply structure...the brain is the organ of human memory and thinking..."

"Women's body structure is very different from men's. Many diseases with similar symptoms, causes and treatments cannot be generalized..."

"There are many diseases that only men can get but women don't, and vice versa, there are many diseases that women get but men don't..."

"Women's bodies have not fully developed before the age of 15, and the dystocia rate is as high as 70.00%. After the age of 15, the dystocia rate directly drops to more than 30.00%..."

"Infants and toddlers are delicate...the treatment methods for many diseases are different from those of adults. If they take the medicines of adults, it may be harmful..."

"We have to have a systematic understanding of the human body before breaking it down."

The unity of man and nature, yin and yang and five elements, five movements and six qi...

bacteria?Virus?trace elements?cell?Blood system, nervous system, digestive system, respiratory system, endocrine system, lymphatic system...

Andrology, Gynecology, Pediatrics... Internal Medicine, Surgery...

Chen Jingke doesn't know medical skills, he just read some related reports and documents, and knows some common sense things.

He didn't know which ones were useful to Sun Simiao and which ones were not, so he just told them all in case there were any omissions.

The more Sun Simiao listened to it, the more shocked he became. He felt that his understanding of medicine had been completely destroyed.

If he can still understand the unity of man and nature, yin and yang and the five elements, then the bacteria and viruses behind him are completely listening to the scriptures.

But this does not mean that the unity of man and nature and the five elements of yin and yang did not shock him much. On the contrary, what really shocked him was this theory rather than the trace elements and viruses behind it.

Because he doesn't understand the latter at all, and he finds it more fresh and listens to it as a story.He understands the former, and it is because he understands that he is shocked.

The TCM theory of yin-yang and five elements in the previous life is well-known to everyone, and later adopted by various martial arts novels, and it is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, few people know that this set of theories was not actually established until after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to poor transportation and poor communication, Chinese medicine did not have a unified theoretical basis. Doctors in each place had their own standards for seeing a doctor.

This created an embarrassing situation. The same patient went to different places to see a doctor, and it was easy to get two different diagnosis results, and what the two said seemed to be reasonable.

But there is no cure for this disease.

The reason is the lack of a unified theoretical standard.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state organized a large number of experts to conduct research and analysis on the basis of medical theories from all over the country, and finally established a unified standard.

Of course, it also draws on the essence of many Western medicine.

Since then, no matter where the patient goes to see a doctor, the diagnosis result is the same-except for a misdiagnosis.

Now is the early Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. Chen Jingke brought out this set of basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine established by the directors of various schools, which is an epoch-making progress.

Sun Simiao himself is a famous doctor, so he can fully understand what this theory means, so one can imagine how excited he is.

This time he finally asked the question that he had held back for a long time: "Who the hell are you? Where did you learn these things?"

Chen Jingke smiled bitterly: "I don't want to lie to you, I can't explain to you where I came from, because until now I don't know why I appear here."

"The things I'm talking about are just common sense in my hometown, and you can see them if you pay attention. It's a pity that I don't study medicine, so I only know the superficial aspects."

This is not a lie. In his previous life, he was not a medical major. He just read some related articles on the Internet and generally knew that there was such a thing.

He also only knew some nouns for the theoretical basis of the unity of man and nature, and he didn't know what was going on with many things until he learned Taoist knowledge and medical skills from Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao didn't doubt his words, and didn't ask any more questions, just patted his head and said: "From now on, you will tell others that Master taught you. You are an orphan adopted by my folks. You have been brought up by your side since you were a child. .”

Chen Jingke nodded heavily and said, "Master Xie, I am your disciple."

The matter of identity reached a consensus, and the two continued to discuss medical matters.

Chen Jingke imparted to him the modern medical knowledge he knew without reservation.

"Bacteria, viruses, and trace elements are the three most important things. Most diseases originate from them and spread because of them."

"And they are all invisible to the naked eye, but I know that a kind of instrument called a microscope can see... If there are high-purity crystal and gem craftsmen, you can try to create..."

"There are good bacteria and bad bacteria...a messy environment, dirt, etc. can breed a lot of germs and make people sick."

"For example, our hair will breed bacteria if it is not cleaned in time. There are also a lot of bacteria and parasites that are invisible to the naked eye in unboiled water."

"So we must pay attention to hygiene, do not drink raw water or eat raw food, wash hands and bathe frequently, change clothes frequently, and prohibit spitting, defecation, etc..."

"... There are hundreds of millions of viruses everywhere, and about 40 of them can cause harm to humans..."

"Mosquitoes, fleas, lice, etc. are all media that spread viruses and germs, and some viruses can even spread through the air... Most of our common plagues are caused by viruses."

"Trace elements are the nutrients needed for human growth...Plants need 'fertilizer' for growth, and this fertilizer is actually various trace elements..."

"Human growth also requires trace elements...but the amount of trace elements cannot be more or less, and a balance must be reached."

"Insufficient intake of certain trace elements can cause diseases, such as night blindness. Generally, only poor people will get night blindness, and rich people don't get it easily..."

"...These trace elements are generally only found in meat and animal offal. Rich people will not get night blindness if they eat meat, but poor people will get it if they don't eat meat."

"Rich people are prone to beriberi, but poor people rarely get it... because the coarse grains and bran also contain trace elements necessary for the human body..."

"Rich people pay attention to food and don't tire of food, and don't eat bran and coarse grains, which leads to insufficient intake of specific trace elements, so they get beriberi..."

"And if you don't eat vegetables and other green foods for a long time, you will get sepsis..."

"Excessive intake of trace elements is not enough, you will get sick..."

Sun Simiao was so shocked that he almost lost his ability to speak.
