Chapter 56 There is a Gao Panlong in Donglin Academy

Ding Yuanjian not only learned from Miao Xiyong himself, but also felt that such a good comrade should be known by other friends, so he introduced many Donglin party members to Miao Xiyong, such as the famous Gao Panlong at that time. Speaking of this Gao Panlong, it must be mentioned that he is also a famous scholar. Gao Panlong, the word is saved.Wuxi people.Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli (1589), he wrote a few words that the emperor didn't like to listen to, and was relegated to Jieyang County to do grassroots work. He hadn't been used for ten years, but that was just right. During this period, he and Gu Xiancheng gave lectures at Donglin Academy in their hometown, criticizing the eunuch party and discussing government affairs. They had a great influence and became one of the leaders of Donglin Party.

Later, in the first year of Tianqi (1621), he was called into the court to serve as the prime minister of Guanglu Temple, and was promoted to Shaoqing. Later, he was appointed as Shaoqing of Dali and the right servant of the Ministry of punishment.In the fourth year of Tianqi (1624), he was promoted to the censor of Zuodu. This Gao Panlong's article was very good, and everyone praised him very much at that time.At that time, someone praised his article: "It is a great festival for the court, worthy of the ancients, and it is published as an article, and it does not use rhetoric and has a high character."

Then how did he meet Mu Xiyong? It turned out that once, when Ding Yuanjian was chatting with Gao Panlong, he said to Gao Panlong: "Now there is an unusual person in the world, named Miao Xiyong, do you know?" Zizhizhihu) Gao Panlong was very strange, he ran through the people he knew in his head, and he replied, "I don't know." (Yu Yuewei) Ding Yuanjian was anxious when he heard that, you don't even know this person?Let me introduce you: "This person is very filial to his mother; he is loyal to his friends. He looks at fame and fortune, which is like looking at dust; he looks at morality, and he looks at it more than mountains. If you let him When you see where Daoyi is, then you really can’t stop him, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire, he will rush over there.” Li, Qiushan regards righteousness, where Gou righteousness is, that is, water and fire go to it)

After Gao Panlong heard this, he also felt that this hero Miao was very good, and he really hoped to meet him someday. Later, when he had a chance, he went to his brother-in-law Wang Xingfu's house one day, and it happened that Miao Xiyong was there, so everyone got to know each other. This recognition surprised Gao Panlong. It turned out that a few people got together that day, and they were very excited. They tasted wine and chatted together. Usually, chatting with doctors is about health. But that day, Miao Xiyong never mentioned medicine. Viewpoints are all unique (everything has a wonderful solution), now Gao Panlong is convinced, dare to say that this Miao hero is really not an ordinary person!

In fact, what is Miao Xiyong good at ordinary times and what kind of leisure he likes? We left some records. Gao Panlong said that Miao Xiyong "can also write poems (unfortunately nothing has been handed down), can write big characters (that is, write extra-large brush characters), is familiar with ancient and modern times, and is familiar with the vicissitudes of life when two soldiers meet. count". After Donglin students got to know Miao Xiyong, they all became his friends and treated him as a big brother. (All regard it as a brother) Not only as the big brother, but also entrusting the health of his family members to him, such as Gao Panlong, almost as long as the family members are sick, don't ask, just one thought: find brother Miao!

Let’s talk about Gao Panlong’s brother-in-law, Comrade Wang Xingfu, as we mentioned earlier, the man who set up a drink at home for Gao Panlong and Miao Xiyong to meet, why is he so polite to Miao Xiyong, and why is he so polite? The son drinks and drinks, dares to be affectionate, and Miao Xiyong saved his life. At that time, Comrade Wang Xingfu had a very good appetite. He ate a little more beef. After eating it, he felt very uncomfortable. Then it broke down, and he began to have symptoms like malaria. I couldn’t go on, and then it was even more terrifying. I couldn’t even drink water. What I vomited was green water (bile came out), and I couldn’t drink any medicine. I urinated very little, the color was as dark as strong tea, and my stool was flat. It's gone.

In this case, don't ask, the doctors at that time were all stupid, shaking their heads one after another, please ask someone else, it can't be cured! At this time, I don't know who is so wise and invited Miao Xiyong. Miao Xiyong saw that the patient was really in pain, so he asked the patient to lie on his back (make him lie on his back), and then pressed his finger on the right side of the patient's heart (press the finger to the lower right side of the heart), and the patient cried out in pain , so Miao Xiyong understood. Ladies and gentlemen, this time Miao Xiyong looked for the position of the tender point, which is very similar to Murphy's tender point in the diagnosis of cholecystitis in modern medicine, but it is about 300 years earlier than that of foreigners.

Then, Miao Xiyong gave the patient a pill made of Fanhong Pingwei Powder. After taking the medicine, he stopped vomiting and was able to go into the water. The next day, black stools came out. Then, I gave him some decoction, and after four days, our Comrade Wang Xingfu recovered. Wang Xingfu is so grateful, this is pulling himself back from the death line. Besides, our Gao Panlong’s son-in-law, named Pu Sheng, suffers from a disease called belching. When eating, every time he takes one or two bites, he belches dozens of mouthfuls. , The net was belching there. After Miao Xiyong came to make a diagnosis, he said: This is because the qi is not returning to its original state, and the middle burner is out of luck. You need to use ginseng two qian for each medicine.

I don't know if this Pusheng is afraid of spending money, or he doesn't believe it. In short, he took other doctors' medicines. Guess what happened?I got sicker. After two or three months, Miao Xiyong came to make a diagnosis again and said: This time, I need to use ginseng for four dollars. Our young comrade Pusheng is stubborn enough, but he refuses to take this medicine. In this way, two or three months later, Miao Xiyong came again, and after taking the pulse, he said: This time, I need ginseng six dollars. Comrade Pusheng still didn’t take it (I guess he really ran out of money), and another month later, looking at this little comrade Pusheng, he couldn’t eat anymore. Every time he vomited, he felt a ball of cold air coming out of his chest ( The air-conditioning came out like a ball), this time, I felt that I might not be able to survive (I will die if I divide myself).

Miao Xiyong was also in a hurry, and quickly said to Gao Panlong, go and take care of your son-in-law, do you want to die? Gao Panlong also jumped up, which is not bad, my daughter can't live without a husband, so he ran to Pusheng's house to supervise him and asked Pusheng to drink Miao Xiyong's medicine. After drinking two doses, it has no effect, but it doesn't feel like vomiting like drinking other people's medicine. After drinking the third dose, a miracle happened. I only heard a sudden "like explosion" at the patient's heart, and then the upper part was belching, and the lower part was urinating countless times. After coming up, my good guy, after drinking three or four bowls of porridge, everyone found that he was no longer a traitor.

Later, when taking the medicine, the dosage of ginseng was gradually reduced. After taking it for half a year, the disease was completely cured. There is also Gao Panlong's youngest son, who was injured for some reason. Anyway, the child was naughty, and he probably fell down. In short, there was blood in his urine and urine. The previous doctor used peach kernels and safflower, but the blood in the stool became more and more severe.This made the family very anxious. At this time, they invited Miao Xiyong. Seeing it, Miao Xiyong didn't understand, and said, "Why do you use peach kernels? Medicines like peach kernels and safflower are only used when there is blood stasis and need to be removed. Now the blood is flowing. There is no bruise, and if you use it again, it will re-injure the wound." "Ah?" Gao Panlong was startled: "What should I do?" Miao Xiyong said: "If you are injured, you need to mend it, and it will get better." So I prescribed Shengdi, Chuanxuan, Eucommia, and Achyranthes bidentata. After drinking the medicine, it relieved a little, but my stomach hurts. Miao Xiyong said: "It is in the "Neijing" that the strong will heal if the qi is full, and the weak will become sick." So I added two qian of ginseng to the original prescription, and after paying the medicine, I was cured. From this medical case, we can see that Miao Xiyong's medication is superb, and his understanding of traumatology is profound. His flexible treatment is really worth pondering by the current Chinese medicine practitioners. By the way, the three methods of treating blood and the three essential methods of treating hematemesis created by Miao Xiyong are very important contents in the clinical theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The youngest son here is fine, and Gao Panlong's second son is ill again over there. It was summer, and the child had fever for ten days and nights, and he could only drink some boiled water. These doctors didn’t work by sweating, and it didn’t work with Maren pills. Once is trouble, trouble twice is the principle of trouble, so I immediately called for Miao Xiyong. Miao Xiyong took a look, hey, who said it was typhoid fever?This is summer heat!It is hot and needs to be treated with Baihu Decoction. However, because of the messy treatment before, the child's body is weak now, and he needs to add ginseng two coins to the medicine. After taking the medicine, the child sweated a little, and the fever subsided, so Miao Xiyong prescribed a prescription to invigorate the spleen, clear away heat, and induce stagnation. Malaria or dysentery (I don't know why Mu Xiyong made this prediction), and then went to Songling. As a result, the child really developed malaria within two days, so he followed Miao Xiyong's prescription, and the malaria stopped, and then it turned into dysentery (the reason is that the heat evil was not completely cleared), what should I do? ?It seems that Gao Panlong did not associate with Miao Xiyong in vain, and also knew some medical principles, so he prescribed Shengmaisan and Yiyuansan by himself, but after drinking it, his son became even more emaciated (the son was very weak). The doctors got excited at this time and predicted that the child would die soon. Now the house is in chaos, there are people lighting incense and worshiping gods, praying to Buddha, and doing everything else, which makes Gao Panlong very upset. At this time, Miao Xiyong came back from Songling, he was actually thinking about this child in his heart, and went straight to Gao Panlong's house as soon as he came back. Everyone asked Miao Xiyong in tears: What should I do?Is there any help? Miao Xiyong didn't check the child's pulse, but just looked at the child directly (not diagnosing but staring at the child), and then asked the child: "Does the porridge taste good?" The child replied: "Drinking porridge is delicious!" Miao Xiyong stood up and shouted loudly: "The illness is gone!" (The illness is gone) Gao Panlong almost fainted, thinking: Boss, are you talking in your sleep, this child is about to die! (A child is not safe at night, so what is the brother saying?) Miao Xiyong said: "Look at this child's bright eyes, and his appetite is very good. This means that his energy is already strong and his stomach is strong! Don't worry, trust me, it's true!" Yeah?Everyone was skeptical, and many doctors next to him were waiting to see the joke. As a result, within two days, the child recovered. (Looking for the fruit and taking it easy) Gao Panlong's wife also went to Miao Xiyong when she was sick. Mrs. Gao often had chest pains, so Gao Panlong asked Miao Xiyong for a prescription. After Miao Xiyong had a pulse diagnosis, he prescribed a prescription. I didn't get sick, so I didn't take any medicine. But one day, I suddenly fell ill (suddenly had a sudden seizure), and felt as if something was rushing upwards in my chest. The pain was unbearable, and I was "utterly screaming." manage?Don't even think about it, Gao Panlong quickly went to grab the medicine according to the prescription left by Miao Xiyong, then came back and fried it, and took it. As a result, after taking only one cup, I felt that the thing that was rushing upwards fell down, causing pain in my stomach. Then, after taking another cup, the pain in my stomach disappeared. I thought it would be all right, but two days later, when I got up to wash up, I suddenly felt like vomiting, and then I had a splitting headache. Gao Panlong was also courageous, and immediately said: "This is the same symptom as before." So I decocted the previous medicine and drank it. As a result, the disease was cured. My God, what kind of recipe is this, so magical? Let's take a sneak look at the prescription left by Miao Xiyong on their table here. Students with quick hands can copy it down, and the prescription reads: three cents for white peony wine, five cents for roasted licorice, five cents for evodia Soak three times for eight cents, white Poria cocos for two cents, corydalis vinegar and sliced ​​for one cent, perilla fried for one cent and five cents, orange red salt water moistened for one cent and two cents, pinellia ten cents for stir-frying with ginger juice, inula flowers for one cent, wood Pass seven points, Zhuru one money. In fact, Miao Xiyong did not say what kind of disease Mrs. Gao was suffering from, but we analyzed from his prescription that Mrs. Gao was suffering from blood deficiency, so Miao Xiyong used Zhang Zhongjing's Shaoyao Gancao Decoction in the prescription, and at the same time the patient's Qi It was reversed on the plane, so some medicines for improving Qi and lowering Qi were used in the prescription. It is worth noting that there are many additional instructions added after the medicine in the prescription, such as "wine fried" written on the back of the white peony root. What does it mean? Why haven't we seen this before? It turns out that these are some processing methods of traditional Chinese medicine. In the process of making traditional Chinese medicine, some medicines cannot be used directly. Processing can reduce toxicity and increase medicinal properties. The maturity of the processing means shows that Physicians have a more accurate grasp of the properties of medicine.For example, white peony is fried with wine, because white peony has a sour and cold nature. After being fried with wine, the sour and cold nature will be reduced, and it will not suppress the hair growth. Use and so on. (Doctors don't use it that much anymore) Miao Xiyong has made great contributions in the field of processing. These clinical processing methods developed to their peak in the Qing Dynasty. When I read the medical records of the Qing Dynasty, I was often amazed by the doctors' exquisite medication techniques. However, many of these methods have been lost in modern times, and most doctors hardly use them in this way. As far as I know, there are still several old men in their nineties in Beijing who are familiar with these contents, and one of them is more familiar with me. The one is old shopkeeper Liu of Beijing He Nian Tang (founded in the Ming Dynasty, which has a longer history than Tong Ren Tang). In a blink of an eye, when I was busy writing my dissertation, he passed away, which is very sad. In short, the diseases of the Gao Panlong family were basically covered by Miao Xiyong. In the book "Xian Xingzhai Medical Notes", according to my statistics, the Gao family members accounted for seven medical cases. . Family members’ medical treatment is not counted, even Gao Panlong’s neighbor who sells tofu and the servant’s wife are all within the range of Miao Xiyong’s medical treatment (the medical records have all been recorded). It seems that Gao Panlong is a very enthusiastic person. He recommended friends to see Miao Xiyong for medical treatment. A model in the academic world at that time was so powerful when discussing social and academic issues. However, through these medical cases, we can see that Gao Panlong is a person who loves his family very much. is very thoughtful. The purpose of inviting famous doctors to treat family members is to enable them to live healthier and happier lives. However, under the overturned nest, there are no eggs? Such a person would not have a good ending in the dark political environment at that time. A few years later, after the Donglin Party provoked a war against Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill the Donglin people and then quickly. Of course Gao Panlong bears the brunt. In 1626 AD, the eunuch party sent Jin Yiwei to Donglin to arrest Gao Panlong who had been dismissed from office. Someone notified Gao Panlong in advance, saying that the eunuch party is going to arrest you. When Gao Panlong heard about it, he said angrily: "I am a minister of the country. To arrest and humiliate me is to humiliate the country. How could I fall into the hands of these thieves?!" So, he bid farewell to his family, went to the lake behind the house silently, threw himself into the lake and died.
