Chapter 349 Taoist Reform

In fact, this is all a conflict of ideas. In ancient times, if the treatment is ineffective, it is one's fate. It can cure [-]% of the patients, which is already a good doctor.The so-called miracle doctor is not [-]% successful, but can cure [-]% of patients.

But in later generations, if there is a medical accident that is not man-made, it will cause a lot of trouble in the city.There are also specialized medical troubles, and Ran Ming dare not gamble with his own reputation.But after what Ge Hong said, Ran Ming thought that surgery could be carried out slowly.What kind of knife wound or sword wound, even if it causes postoperative infection and causes death, this kind of death is lower than doing nothing.

Ran Ming looked at Ge Hong, he could even give the Taoist priest a way out.

The Taoist priests of this period were one of the few people who could read and write in ancient China. Many Taoist priests were literate. As long as they were trained, they could become Taoist priests accompanying the army.

The soldiers were killed in battle, so let them hold a crossing ceremony to reassure the army.

The soldiers were injured, but let them use medical knowledge to treat them.In this way, Taoist priests have a way of life, and they will not resort to pretending to be gods and ghosts, bluffing and deceiving.

Thinking of this, Ran Ming suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, that is to reform Taoism.

In history, except for believers who believed in Taoism, for ordinary people, Taoism was a swindling magic stick, and people were extremely disgusted with it.Relatively speaking, Buddhism and Christianity give ordinary people a much better feeling.In Chinese history, there were many dynasties that favored Taoism, like the Tang Dynasty, because they promoted Taoism in the name of Laozi being the ancestor of the Li family, and the Song Dynasty, including the Ming Dynasty, many emperors were emperors who sought Taoism, but in fact Taoism was enjoyed by the imperial court, but it did not develop much. Even if it was the most prosperous period of Taoism, the Quanzhen Sect of the Yuan Dynasty, among the people who believed in the country, there were only two or three out of ten believers. Compared with Buddhists Fifty-six out of ten are too bad.

As a person of later generations, Ran Ming certainly knows why such a situation occurs in Taoism.

As orthodox Taoists, they all believe that Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is the source of their Taoist thoughts, so Lao Tzu is the leader of Taoism.According to "Laozi Xianger Notes", the origin of Taoism can be traced back to Zhuangzi.

As a religion, Taoism is very loosely organized.

There is the school of Xunxian Wendao who pursues immortality and immortality, there is the school of Laozhuang theory, and there is also the art of talisman.The three major sects of Taoism are Tianshidao, which worships Laojun, Shangqing sect, which worships Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao sect, which worships Taishang Daozun (Lingbao Tianzun).

These three factions not only do not cooperate with each other, but have the disposition of the Chinese people. They tear each other down and slander each other.

Ran Ming believes that the reason why Taoism has not become a religion with great influence like Christianity, Christianity, and Buddhism in China is because it has a fatal flaw and believes in too many gods.

In Taoist philosophy, the highest gods are Yuanshi Tianzun (created by Ge Hong), Lingbao Youth Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Jade Emperor God (Jade Emperor), Tianhuang Emperor, Ziwei North Pole Emperor, Qinghua Emperor (also known as Tai B Save Ku Tianzun), Changsheng Emperor, Earth Emperor Dizhi.

In addition to the nine great gods of the three gods and six emperors, Taoism also believes in the Five Dou Xingjun and the 28 Xingjun in the Quartet. In this way, there are dozens of gods, plus the Wenchang Emperor, the God of Wealth, and the four guardians. There are too many gods.Not to mention ordinary people, even professional Taoist scholars, sometimes they can't figure out who is related to whom.

Compared with the world's largest religion, Christianity is much simpler. Jesus is the only God, and the Trinity: the same God has three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.There is only Jehovah, he is God, and there is no other god besides him——"Old Testament Deuteronomy"

Not to mention scholars, even an illiterate commoner, they can easily understand that if they believe in Christianity, they just have to be devout to a God, so because it is simple, it is effective, and in this way, Christianity has become the world's first A big religion.

With these thoughts in mind, Ran Ming wanted to discuss with Ge Hong about the reform of Taoism.

When Ran Ming came to the front yard of Ran's mansion, he found Ge Hong was painting on rice paper with a brush. Ran Ming quietly came behind Ge Hong without passing by the Daoist Qingyun who was serving Ge Hong.Ge Hong was very focused and didn't notice Ran Ming's arrival.

When Ran Ming saw what Ge Hong had drawn, he almost cried out in surprise. He saw that there were countless manuscripts on Ge Hong's case.Ran Ming knew that Ge Hong left a medical masterpiece in history, "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", the title of which means an emergency book that can always be kept behind your elbow (carry with you), and it is a practical book that should always be kept with you.

At this time, what Ge Hong drew on the paper turned out to be the scene of the operation. Through five vivid portraits, he drew the beginning, process and ending of the operation in detail.

Now what Ge Hong draws is the introduction of tools such as scalpels, needles, and hemostats. He not only draws graphics, but also marks the styles and specifications, as well as precautions for surgery.

At this moment, Ge Hong noticed Ran Ming behind him.

Now Ge Hong is familiar with Ran Ming, he knows that Ran Ming has no airs, he doesn't mind ordinary etiquette, and he didn't salute to Ran Ming.He just said happily: "Your Highness came just in time, the old Taoist is going to ask His Highness for advice!"

Ran Ming said: "I don't know what advice the immortal has?"

"I don't dare to give advice!" Ge Hong said in a deep voice, "It's just that there are some things that are not clear about the operation method, please give me your advice, Your Highness!"

"I don't dare to teach you." Ran Ming said with a smile: "I don't know much, we can learn from each other together. I don't know where the fairy is confused?"

Ge Hongdao: "I don't know what this infection is?"

"Infection?" Ran Ming felt a little dizzy.He thought for a while and explained: "Actually, infection is sometimes the same as infection, but strictly speaking, there are certain differences between the two. The scope of "infection" is wider than "infection", and "infection" generally refers to Pathogens are transmitted from sick carriers or diseased animals to healthy people, and "infection" not only includes "infection", but also refers to human infection with pathogens that originally existed in the body."

Ran Ming found that the more he explained, the more unbelievable Ge Hong's expression appeared.Ran Ming thought about it and felt the same way. In fact, these things are not profound in later generations. It can be said that any junior high school student will understand the truth, but now Ge Hong, a university student, doesn't even know what it is like to be infected. , What pathogens are there, which makes him even more confused.

Ran Ming finally spent an hour, and almost used up all his strength to nurse, and only then did he understand some of the essentials of the operation to Ge Hong.

Ran Ming heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, he had already been overwhelmed by Ge Bushi's eagerness to ask the bottom line, and Ran Ming had forgotten why he came.

Ran Ming was about to leave, but Ge Hong said: "Your Highness, go slowly, Hong still has something to ask!"

Ran Ming said: "Xiang, I really have nothing to teach. What I know, I have not kept any secrets. I have told you everything. Now there is only a little gap left. That is Gubixian. Get more hands-on experience."

Ge Hongdao: "The old Taoist is not asking about the operation. Now the old Taoist has understood the operation at least a little bit, and the rest is the experiment. Let Qingyun go to the death row to buy some death row prisoners another day, and try it at home!"

Ran Ming said: "What does the fairy mean!"

Ge Hong asked Qingyun to serve two cups of tea, and took a sip himself first. Since he got the Sencha invented by Ran Ming, he never drank the original messy tea again.Ge Hong showed an expression of enjoyment, and after a while, he said: "Pin Dao is originally a foreigner, and these things should not be involved in these matters, but..."

After a while, Ge Hong said with difficulty: "But the poor Taoist can't watch my Taoism gradually decline."

Ran Ming didn't understand, so: "How could it be declining? Isn't it good now?"

"It was really good at first." Ge Hong stroked his beard and said, "But it's not because of His Highness."

"What does it have to do with me!" Ran Ming said innocently.

Ge Hong pointed to Ran Ming and said, "If you hadn't slandered my Taoism in front of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, saying that there are many things wrong with my Taoism, this would have allowed Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to know too much about my Taoism. Now the Empress Dowager is trying to suppress my Taoism. Now there are almost no Taoist incense, and without the incense offerings from believers, the disciples and grandchildren of the poor Daoist will not be able to survive!"

Ge Hong also pretended to be emotional and said: "The Dao eliminates the demon leader."

Although Ran Ming is not the chief culprit of Taoism, he really has something to do with him.

Ran Ming exposed the true face of the elixir in the palace, and especially angered Chu Suanzi. Chu Suanzi has been a widow since she was 22 years old. In fact, the culprit is the elixir. Now even her son was almost poisoned. It's not Chu Suanzi.

Chu Suanzi ordered to kill all the alchemists who made alchemy in Jiankang City, and the other Taoist priests ran away after hearing the news.Chu Suanzi is still not reconciled, as long as there are Taoist temples with alchemy furnaces, they will all arrest people and seal them up.This time, the Taoist almost disappeared.

The imperial court has always been the vane of the behavior of the people. The Queen Mother does not like Taoist priests, and the officials below dare not support Taoism openly.Right now in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Taoist priests are a high-risk industry, especially alchemists, who will be killed immediately after being caught, and they are not indiscriminate.

Ran Ming almost choked on his own saliva.

"Master Dao Xiaomo, take it!"

However, Ran Ming didn't show mercy to Ge Hong, and said bluntly: "Those scum of Taoism, they don't know what they are doing. Taoism can have today, and it is their own fault. I hope no one else!"

"Hey!" Ge Hong sighed and said no more. For those fake Taoist priests who dared to bluff around after learning superficial Taoism, Ge Hong felt ashamed in every possible way, but he had no choice.After all, Taoism is not like Christianity. At that time, Christianity had a guard army. As long as there were people who had a bad influence on Christianity or opposed them, the guard army would come forward to clean them up.
