While cooking tea, Hua Tuo talked about his path to studying medicine.
He was originally a Confucian scholar, and he read Confucian classics. He was appreciated by the Pei prime minister Chen Gui and was praised as a filial and honest person. After hearing this, the Taiwei Huang Wan also appointed him as an official.
But he refused them all.
At that time, he was young and energetic, and did not seek wealth and honor. He wanted to be a master of knowledge and knowledge of the past and the present. He studied in Qing Xu and followed the famous alchemist Xiang Kai for several months and met the famous Taoist Yu Ji.
Both of these people are related to the "Taiping Jing", so Hua Tuo also had the opportunity to read the "Taiping Jing" and met Zhang Jiao because of this.
Zhang Jiao was originally a Taoist practitioner, but it is said that Zhang Ling, who was studying in Bashu, could not be explained clearly whether it was true or false.
Hua Tuo was not interested in the "Taiping Jing" and felt that there were too many witchcrafts and too little academics. Later, he treated people with illnesses, and his medical skills gradually surpassed academics. Although he gained a lot of reputation, he was also given this.
People treat it as a doctor and a craftsman, which is very distressing.
He was reluctant to let him give up his medical skills. On the one hand, medical skills can save people, but on the other hand, he has no family support, and medical skills are his ability to maintain his life. If he gave up medical skills, he would not find other means of making a living for the time being.
Zhao Qi was just sick and asked him to delay treatment. He heard from Zhao Qi that the emperor issued an edict to rectify his reputation for medical skills and changed the name of a doctor and a doctor. He thought that this was a good choice for both worlds, and he could be both an official and a researcher.
I like medical skills, so I arrived as soon as possible.
After solving his reputation concerns, he devoted himself to medical research. He not only learned about medicine in the northwest region, but also learned a lot of medicine from the Western Regions. He felt more and more complicated medicine, and he might not be able to study it in his lifetime.
Hua Tuo took out a roll of paper, which was full of carefully drawn human body structure diagrams.
Hua Tuo took out a page from it and pushed it to Liu Xie. Liu Xie received it, but found that it was not ordinary paper, but a piece of skin.
"This is the manuscript sent to Chen by Anthony. It is said that it was made by famous doctors from Western powers. However, this picture does not match what Chen saw. I don't know if he drew it wrongly, or if the Westerners were so long. When I have the chance in the future,
I will only know if I dissect two Westerners.”
"You really dissected the living person?" Liu Xie asked while looking through.
"Yes." Hua Tuo was very calm. "The two seriously injured Xianbei prisoners could not be saved and did not want to save them, so they were dissected."
Liu Xie stopped his hand and then returned to calmness.
Xun Wenqian let out a long sigh and then said, "Are the Xianbei people the same as the internal organs of our Han people?"
"From what I have dissected, it should be the same. In fact, not only people, but also pigs and sheep are generally similar, and there are some differences between cows. So I think that Westerners may be the same as cows, but not quite the same as me Han people."
Liu Xie glanced at Hua Tuo. He wanted to correct his mistake, but then he thought about it and gave up.
This kind of fallacy is common in the development of medicine. Since Hua Tuo is determined to prove it, he will understand it sooner or later, and he will not be in a hurry.
The development of science is not afraid of mistakes, but afraid of not admitting mistakes. Only by being realistic and realistic, even if you were wrong outrageously, you will return to the right track in the future. Only the kind of self-righteous choice son will never be wrong, and the ones who are wrong will be others.
Only then will you make mistakes again and again.
"This album of imperial physicians can be engraved and passed down from generation to generation." Liu Xie closed the album and nodded slightly. "Maybe it can be erected in the Imperial Academy, just like the Six Classics drafted by Cai Boyi and others, and provide for all medical practitioners all over the world.
Study. Even if you are not a doctor, you can still understand some common sense."
Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, then was a little excited. "What Your Majesty said seriously?"
"You don't have any jokes." Liu Xie's tone was faint, but his expression was serious.
Hua Tuo slapped the table and then laughed. "Then I will make some careful revisions and add some comments. These were used for teaching, only for practical purposes, without considering others. Some places they may not understand.
.”
Liu Xie said: "There is no hurry to erect the monument. You can wait for you to modify it. What you need to do now is to find a way to get all doctors from all counties to get one, which will be of great help to improve their medical skills."
Xun Wenqian said: "Your Majesty, it's a good idea. It's just that copying is too difficult, I'm afraid it won't be solved in a day or two."
"It's troublesome to copy, what about copying?"
"Although the rubbing is fast, the engraving of the monument is slow."
"You don't need to carve a stele, but carve it on a wooden board or a stone slab." Liu Xie gestured and roughly explained the process of carving printing.
Xun Wenqian had seen the stone tablet of Luoyang Taixue. After thinking about it, he understood what Liu Xie meant and suddenly realized. "Your Majesty, this is indeed a good idea. Compared to engraving steles, this is much easier, and it is more convenient than writing.
Suitable for drawings.”
Liu Xie smiled. "Since you think it is feasible, let me leave this matter to you." As he said that, he handed the anatomical picture album in his hand to Xun Wenqian.
Xun Wenqian glanced at it and turned her head immediately.
Seeing these human structures, she thought of the bloody scene of Hua Tuo dissecting the sheep just now, and her heart churned. She hurriedly got up and walked out, and as soon as she left the big tent, she vomited all over the floor.
Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, but wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh.
Hua Tuo turned his head and looked at Xun Wenqian's back with a happy look on his face. "Your Majesty, I'm so happy for the noble man."
Liu Xie was stunned. "Take it serious?"
"Nine out of ten." Hua Tuo retreated his gaze. "But your Majesty doesn't have to be happy too early. He should be a daughter."
"Can you tell it all?"
"Nine out of ten." Hua Tuo stroked his beard, showing the confidence of a professional.
Xun Wenqian was both happy and lost when she learned that she was pregnant but she was a girl.
Liu Xie advised her that although her daughter could not inherit the throne, she could be named the eldest princess in the future and would be as rich and worry-free as she could.
Besides, we are all young, you are only nineteen years old, and there are still many opportunities in the future, and you will be able to have a son sooner or later.
Xun Wenqian leaned on the bed, thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, why can't my daughter inherit the family business? I think many women are better than men. For example, Ma Shilang and Han Shilang, they are much better than their brothers.
And the chief clerk Yuan, who is smart and capable, doesn’t look like Yuan Gaolu’s daughter.”
Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "I'm very pleased that you can ask such a question."
Xun Wenqian blinked and smiled cleverly: "Does Your Majesty think this question makes sense?"
Liu Xie thought for a moment. "You read ancient books well, but you may not know that before ancient times, it was likely that women were the masters of their own."
"Is there such a thing?"
"You see the name of the surname, the name of the girl is born, and many ancient surnames have female divisions."
"Yes." Xun Wenqian suddenly realized. "Why did he become a son-in-law again, not a daughter-in-law?"
"You think about it first, let's discuss it later." Liu Xie tucked the corner. "Just as Dr. Hua said, don't be superstitious about his predecessors. His predecessors may be right or wrong. But to this point,
There are always some reasons. Only when you know the reason can you have the possibility of analysis and discussion, otherwise it will become empty talk and cannot solve the practical problems. Right?"
"Yeah." Xun Wenqian nodded repeatedly. "I am pregnant and I am idle and can study it."
Liu Xie thought for a while. "Or, please transfer Yuan Quan to accompany you. I don't understand whether this woman is pregnant."
Xun Wenqian shook her head. "There are too many affairs in the women's camp, and Yuan Quan can't get rid of it. Please ask Mrs. Wei to accompany me, anyway, she is idle."
Liu Xie thought for a moment and agreed immediately.
