Chapter 47
"hiss!"

"what!"

"what!"

The surrounding students of the same age kept exclaiming.

No wonder they had such a big reaction. I saw the girl pick up a silver needle, put it on the candle and bake it, and then the silver needle in her hand kept rolling and piercing into Yong Hongzhong's head, forehead, back of neck and other parts.

Before long, seven or eight silver needles were inserted into Yong Hongzhong's head, and two needles were inserted into his ankle and calf.

A student said in a low voice: "It hurts to look at, such a long needle pierced into the scalp."

"What do you know, this is acupuncture!"

Another slightly fat student with some knowledge said in a low voice with the expression of "no one knows acupuncture and moxibustion better than me": "It is only necessary to diagnose the cause, identify the nature, and identify the meridians and viscera related to the disease.
Acupuncture and moxibustion are then applied to the relevant parts.
It can unblock the meridians, regulate qi and blood, restore the balance of yin and yang, and make the viscera tend to reconcile.

Also, do you know who is doing the acupuncture? "

"Who?"

"Qiu Feng, the daughter of Qiu Quan, the chief physician of Shang Pharmacy."

"Is it the imperial physician Qiu Quan who used acupuncture to cure Dali Siqing?"

"Who else could it be?"

The people around were talking,

Li Ang blinked curiously.

As a doctor, when he was in Wuzhou, he knew that the central medical institutions in Yu country were the three major systems: the Imperial Medical Administration, the Dianzhong Provincial Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and the Medicine Collection Bureau.

Among them, the Office of Imperial Physician is responsible for national medical administration and medical education.

The Medicine Collection Bureau serves the Prince,
The Provincial Shang Pharmacy Bureau in the hall served the emperor.

Inside the Shang Pharmacy, there are two people named "Feng Yu", who are in charge of all the medicines in the palace and are the personal physicians of the emperor himself.

The four [Zhi Chang] are the deputy of [Feng Yu], who are responsible for assisting [Feng Yu] in managing court medicines, and at the same time, they will also serve the princes, ministers, and nobles according to the orders of the emperor.

In short, Shang Pharmacy's [Zhichang] is the imperial physician, and he is the imperial physician with the most advanced medical technology.

Some unloved concubines and princes are not even qualified to require [Zhi Chang] to personally treat him, and can only be treated by [Secretary Doctor] or [Medical Assistant] below [Zhi Chang].

'The most outstanding doctor'

Li Ang stood beside him with great interest and silently observed.

In terms of medical technology alone, it is definitely not as good as the family of imperial physicians in Chang'an City.

The daughter of the imperial doctor named Qiu Feng, as if she did not hear the discussions around her at all, gave the needle with a calm expression.

After all the silver needles are pierced, wait quietly for half an hour,

After pulling out all the silver needles, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a half step back, and asked Yong Hongzhong in the seat in a clear voice, "Okay, how do you feel?"

"I feel, it's fine."

Yong Hongzhong, who suffers from stuttering, stammered, "That's right, my legs are a little cold."

"It's normal to be cold, and the trouser legs are still rolled up."

Qiu Feng smiled and said naively, "Get up and take a walk."

"it is good."

Yong Hongzhong stood up from his chair and took two steps, his steps were steady, and there was no sign of dizziness at all.

"So miraculous?"

"Just a few needles?"

"As expected of the imperial doctor's daughter, by the way, do you know that she will also take the academy exam with us this year?"

The surrounding crowd whispered,

Li Ang patted the slightly fat student next to him curiously on the shoulder, "My dear, you said just now that the imperial physician Qiu Quan used acupuncture to cure Dali Siqing.

How is this going? "

"You're not a student of Chang'an, are you?"

The slightly fat student looked at Li Ang up and down, and smiled friendly: "This is something that happened some time ago.

Zhao Siqing of Dali Temple suffered from wind disease, and his waist and feet did not follow, so he could not kneel or stand up.

Qiu Quan, the head of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Zhao Siqing's mansion for diagnosis and treatment. Back to normal, able to bend over and stand up. "

Song Shaoyuan's eyes widened slightly, "So miraculous?"

"of course."

The slightly fat student pouted and complained in a low voice, "People in the world say moxibustion is better than acupuncture, but I don't think so.

If it can be cured with acupuncture, it is always stronger than Ai Zhuo, at least without leaving scars. "

Listening to the resentment in the slightly fat student's tone, Li Ang smiled slightly. The so-called acupuncture and moxibustion is actually a general term for acupuncture and moxibustion.

Acupuncture refers to piercing a needle into a patient's body at a certain angle, and stimulating specific parts of the human body through acupuncture techniques such as twisting, lifting, and insertion.

The moxibustion method uses prefabricated moxibustion columns or moxibustion herbs to burn and scald the body surface, so it is also called moxa.

Although the needles of "acupuncture and moxibustion" are in the front and moxibustion in the back,
However, in Yu country, the status of moxibustion is much higher than that of acupuncture, with moxibustion as the main method and needle as a supplement.
From the princes and ministers to the common people,
If there is any headache and brain heat, in addition to drinking medicine, moxibustion will be performed, so many people will have moxibustion scars that are not very good-looking.

There are 510 pieces of moxibustion and only 50 pieces of acupuncture in the "Prescriptions for Emergencies".
In "Qian Jin Yi Fang", there are 560 pieces of moxibustion and only 90 pieces of acupuncture.

This is not only because there are very few doctors who know acupuncture, but also because in the general concept of Yu people, acupuncture is inferior to moxibustion.

In the comprehensive medical book "Waitai Secret Yao" compiled by Wang Tao, the grandson of Wang Gui, a famous minister in the early years of the Yu Kingdom, he even bluntly stated that "acupuncture can kill people, but cannot cause death."

Li Ang doesn't have much malice towards acupuncture.

He knew very well that the reason why acupuncture and moxibustion became so popular among the people was largely due to the fact that Yu Guo lacked doctors and medicines—

The more remote, the more impoverished and backward areas and the lack of medical care and medicine, the easier it is for people to be forced to rescue themselves in various ways.

Simple and cheap acupuncture methods (especially moxibustion methods that are easy to operate and not prone to death) are undoubtedly the only option to solve the urgent need.

"Looks cured?"

Li Ang glanced at Yong Hongzhong, who was walking normally, and waved to Song Shaoyuan, "Then Big Brother Song, I'll go first."

"Oh, trouble is rising for you."

Song Shaoyuan was talking when he heard another scream from the surrounding crowd - Yong Hongzhong was ready to bend down and put down his trouser legs with a look of joy, but just as he bent down, he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Although Qiu Feng, the daughter of the imperial doctor, hurriedly helped him up and put him on the chair, Yong Hongzhong lowered his eyes and fell into dizziness.

"what happened?"

A girl in Chinese clothes, Shi Shiran, walked out of the crowd, frowned and said to Qiu Feng, "Why are you dizzy again?"

Qiu Feng was obviously a little nervous, and almost bit his tongue, "Report to the county master, "Su Wen: Zhizhen Yao Da Lun" says: All wind and dizziness belong to the liver,
Fengchi acupoint is the acupoint of the foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, which is the meeting point of the foot Shaoyang meridian and the Yangwei meridian.

Two more needles should be applied to Fengchi Point, and moxibustion should be performed at the same time, and it will be fine. "

county lord?

There was an uproar around the crowd, and the slightly fat student next to Li Ang stared at the girl in Chinese clothes in a stunned manner, his lips trembling slightly.

Li Ang's eyelids twitched when he heard the word "Country Lord", but he didn't have time to think about it - Qiu Feng had already taken out a moxibustion column woven from wormwood from her medicine box, and was about to put it on a candle and put it on Yong Hongzhong. burnt on his body.

"Wait a moment,"

Moxibustion can cause pain and potentially fatal wound infection. Li Ang had to take a step forward and said loudly, "Let me have a look."
