Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty of China. A native of Jingzhao Huayuan (now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province). Sun Simiao had been sick since he was a child, and he almost lost all his family wealth to raise money for decoctions and medicines. However, he was very smart and persisted in studying classics, history, medicine and other scientific knowledge. Sun Simiao was indifferent to fame and fortune all his life. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he was recruited to be a doctor of the imperial family. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to confer a title on him. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty asked him to be an admonishment doctor, but he declined them all. His ambition was to be a person who helps the world. Medical scientist. In the process of studying medicine, in addition to studying medical works endlessly, Sun Simiao also paid special attention to seeking experience from the people and widely collected prescriptions and prescriptions. In medical activities, he paid great attention to the moral cultivation of doctors. He emphasized that doctors should regard the pain of patients as their own pain. When patients come to see them, they should not be afraid of dangers on the road regardless of whether it is cold or hot day or night, and should go to rescue wholeheartedly regardless of hunger, thirst, and fatigue. He believes that medicine is a delicate career, and one must study hard and work tirelessly to become a real doctor. Sun Simiao's main works are "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies" (30 volumes) and "Essential Prescriptions for a Thousand Golds" (30 volumes). Others include "Qianjin Marrow Prescription", "Fu Lu Lun", "Health Preservation True Record", "Zhen Zhong Su Shu", "Hui San Jiao Lun", "Taichang Fen Yao Ge" and many others, all of which are lost. Sun Simiao's great contribution to medicine has made him loved by the people of all generations and regarded as the "King of Medicine". There are temples to Sun Simiao in many places in China to feel his noble character and immortal achievements. Sun Simiao embodied the spirit of medicine as a benevolent art. He wrote in his book "The Sincerity of Great Doctors": "Whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and calm his mind, have no desires and demands, first have a heart of great compassion and compassion, and vow to universally save the suffering of souls. If Those who come to seek help when they are sick should not ask whether they are rich or poor, whether they are old or young, complain about good friends, Chinese or foreigners, are ignorant or wise, and are all the same. . If you see someone who is already in distress, you are deeply saddened, do not avoid danger, suffer from cold and heat day and night, are hungry, thirsty and tired, and go to rescue with all your heart. This can be a great doctor for the people. On the contrary, it is spiritual. A giant thief. The body of a great doctor... went to the patient's home again. His eyes were full of beautiful things, but he didn't look around. He put strings and bamboos in his ears, but nothing seemed to entertain him. He recommended many delicacies, but the food was tasteless. If you are practicing medicine, you should not talk too much, laugh, talk, talk about right and wrong, talk about people, show off your reputation, slander other doctors, care about your own virtues, and hold your head high and protect your face if you accidentally cure a disease. , and has a self-proclaimed appearance, which is said to be unparalleled in the world, this is the best way to heal people." The above few words have shown Sun Simiao's noble medical ethics to people. Sun believes that "human life is of the utmost importance, and if there is precious gold, a person can help it, and the virtue is greater than this." Therefore, he titled two of his own works "Qianjin", "Qianjin Yaofang" and "Qianjin Yifang". 》. The achievements of these two books are: firstly, they conducted in-depth research on Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", which provided a reliable way for later generations to study "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", especially adding more specific content to the generalized treatment of Febrile Diseases. . He created the method of studying "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" from the three aspects of prescription, syndrome and treatment, which was the first for later generations to use prescriptions to classify syndromes. "Qian Jin Yao Fang" is my country's earliest medical encyclopedia, covering all disciplines from basic theory to clinical practice, including theories, methods, prescriptions and medicines. One type is classic materials, and the other type is folk prescriptions. Broadly absorbing the strengths of all aspects, appreciating both elegance and vulgarity, and taking appropriate measures according to urgency, this is still the case to this day. Many contents still play a guiding role and have extremely high academic value. It is indeed a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine worth thousands of dollars. "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" is a huge contribution to the development of prescription medicine. The book collects clinical experience from the time of Zhang Zhongjing to Sun Simiao and hundreds of years of prescription achievements. After reading Zhongjing's prescriptions, and then reading "Qian Jin Prescription", it can really open your eyes and broaden your thinking, especially the use of prescriptions with different origins. , showing Sun Simiao's extensive medical resources and superb medical skills. Later generations called "Qian Jin Fang" the ancestor of Fang Shu. "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" has made great contributions to diet therapy, health preservation, and elderly care. Sun's ability to live over a hundred years is due to his active promotion of the theory in these areas combined with his own practice. Sun Simiao's brilliant achievements were respected by people during his lifetime. Known as the "King of Medicine", "Zhenren" and "Sage of Medicine", he was highly valued in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and many celebrities treated him with courtesy. After his death, people worshiped Yu Cheng on the bank of Jianshan Mountain in his former residence. Qiao Shining's preface says: "The incense of Mount Jian is most prosperous in Guanzhong, even though the town of Huayue and Wu is far away." Sun Simiao also enjoys a high reputation in Japan, especially the famous Japanese doctors Tanba Yasurayi and Kojima Naoshiki who admire him very much. Sun Simiao, a native of Huayuan, Jingzhao (now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province), was born in 581 and died in 682, at the age of 102. A great medical scientist in the Sui and Tang Dynasties of my country. Sun Simiao studied medicine due to illness, loved medicine, and was indifferent to fame and fortune. During the reigns of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he was invited to serve as an official in the court many times, but he politely declined. While practicing medicine, he collected medicinal herbs and visited places such as Taibai Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi, Taihang Mountain in Shanxi, Songshan Mountain in Henan, and Emei Mountain in Sichuan. He extensively collected knowledge on single prescriptions, proven prescriptions and medicines, and left valuable wealth for future generations in pharmacological research, so people respectfully call him the "King of Medicine". He is the author of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions". Sun Simiao paid great attention to the cultivation of medical ethics throughout his life. In his book "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", he first listed the two articles "The Practice of Great Doctors" and "The Sincerity of Great Doctors". This is the earliest relatively complete monograph on medical ethics in my country. , is a medical ethics standard that combines noble medical ethics with superb medical skills.
He pointed out: "Whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and calm his mind, have no desires or demands, first have a heart of great compassion and compassion, and vow to universally save the suffering of souls." His strong and simple humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded is worth learning and promoting, both at that time and now. In terms of pharmacological research, Sun Simiao devoted a lot of effort. From the collection and processing of drugs to understanding their properties, from the combination and compatibility of prescriptions and drugs to clinical treatment, Sun Simiao referred to previous medical literature and combined with his own decades of clinical experience to write two books of important academic value in the history of the development of medicine in my country. Two medical masterpieces - "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions". Among them, "Qian Jin Yao Prescription" contains more than 5,000 prescriptions. The content in the book includes not only medical theories such as diagnosis methods and syndromes, but also clinical subjects such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. It covers detoxification, first aid, health preservation, and diet therapy. It also involves acupuncture, massage, guidance, and breathing. It can be said to be a good summary of the development of traditional Chinese medicine before the Tang Dynasty. "Qianjin Yifang" contains nearly 3,000 prescriptions, covering various aspects such as materia medica, women, typhoid fever, children, nourishment, tonics, stroke, miscellaneous diseases, sores and carbuncles, color veins, and acupuncture. 》 made necessary and useful supplements. Among the more than 800 kinds of medicines recorded in the book, more than 200 kinds provide detailed introduction to the collection and preparation of medicines and other related knowledge. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the book includes articles from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" that had been lost among the people during the Jin and Tang dynasties. It consists of nine and twelve volumes, making it the only research work on "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in the Tang Dynasty. The preservation and dissemination of the articles of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" played a positive role in promoting it. In clinical practice, Sun Simiao summed up many valuable experiences, such as the acupoint selection method of "Ashi point" and "taking pain as the acupoint", using animal liver to treat night blindness, using sheep's thyroid gland to treat endemic goiter, and using animal liver to treat night blindness. Milk, beans, grain husks, etc. are recommended to prevent and treat beriberi; for pregnant women, it is recommended that the place where they live should be clean and quiet, the mood should be kept comfortable, and they should not be nervous during labor; for babies, it is recommended that breastfeeding should be done regularly and quantitatively, and that they should be exposed to more windy days and not wear clothes. Get too much... These propositions still have certain practical significance today. Sun Simiao advocated health preservation and practiced it personally. It was precisely because he was proficient in health preservation that he could maintain his hearing and vision even after he was over a hundred years old. He combined the health-preserving ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, and ancient Indian Buddhism with the health-preserving theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and proposed many practical health-preserving methods that are still guiding people's daily lives today, such as maintaining a balanced mentality. , do not blindly pursue fame and fortune; eat in moderation, do not overeat; pay attention to the circulation of Qi and blood, do not be lazy and sluggish; live a regular life, do not violate the laws of nature... Because of "Qian Jin Yao Prescription" and " "Qian Jin Yifang" has a great influence, so these two works are known as the medical encyclopedias of ancient my country, playing a historical role in inheriting the Han and Wei dynasties and the Song and Yuan dynasties. After the two books came out, they attracted much attention from the world, and even spread across the sea and were widely circulated. During the Tianbao, Manzhi, Tianming, Jiayong and Kanzheng years, Japan published "Thousand Gold Essential Prescriptions", and its influence is evident. After Sun Simiao's death, people renamed "Wutai Mountain" where he lived in seclusion as "Yaowang Mountain", built a temple, a statue and a monument in his honor on the mountain. Every year on the third day of the second lunar month, local people hold temple fairs to commemorate Sun Simiao's great contributions to Chinese medicine. The temple fair lasted for half a month, and there was an endless stream of visitors from all over the world who came to visit and pay their respects.
