Chapter 70 open school

It turned out that Yu Jiayan did this to accomplish one thing: to spread medical theories. Yu Jiayan has realized during his practice in the monastery that he can’t just bury his head in seeing a doctor like before. The truth of medicine must be explained to other doctors and the common people. The power of great communication can improve the level of all people at the same time. This is the right way. In Yu Jiayan's own words, that is: "Practicing prescriptions to heal people, the merit is in a moment", "writing books to teach people, the merit is tens of thousands of miles".

However, if you want to do such a thing, it is not suitable in Jiangxi, because the information in Jiangxi was relatively occluded back then, and the cultural foundation in Changshu is relatively good, and a great literati like Qian Qianyi has laid a good foundation of contacts , I believe it will be much easier to do things. So Yu Jiayan chose to come to Changshu to start his new business. His new career is to open schools and recruit disciples. This was definitely a new thing at the time, why?Because Chinese medicine imparts knowledge, it has always been a master with a few apprentices, and there are no serious lectures. He just gives you a few books and asks you to memorize them at night, and then visits the master during the day. Just ask, Master will give you some pointers. If you meet a master who doesn’t like to talk, people won’t talk to you. You are looking at the disease here. You can ask Master: “Master, why do you use Shudi here?” Master nodded. He replied without hesitation: "Think about it yourself!" Tell me, how much can you learn from this?Therefore, I often have followed Master for several years, and my heart is still at a loss.

Yu Jiayan doesn't think so now. What he hopes is that everyone understands the principles of medicine. In front of life, what is there to be conservative about?What is there to keep secret? Therefore, he adopted the method of Buddhist scripture lectures, letting many students sit below, and he built a podium on it, and he lectured in front of the podium (I don’t know if there was a blackboard at that time), and then used the books he wrote as teaching materials. I take notes while listening to the lecture, and at the same time I can ask questions (many of which can be seen now), and then Yu Jiayan answers (it is rare for teachers to answer questions in class now).

Gosh, isn't this the way medical school is taught these days? Yes, please remember that it is now recognized that Yu Jiayan is the first person in the field of Chinese medicine to adopt classroom teaching. That is to say, the Chinese medicine school run by Mr. Yu Jiayan is the first Chinese medicine school in Chinese history. The teaching forms of colleges and universities of traditional Chinese medicine all started from Yu Jiayan! You may not believe the connection between the teaching mode of the current Chinese medicine university and Buddhist scriptures, but from the source, it really is the case.

Teacher Yu Jiayan was called "Shangtang Teacher" in the school at that time, which is probably similar to the professor he is called now. From the literature, he obviously invited some other famous experts at that time to give lectures, which is called "speaking". For example, in " In the "Quotations of the Third Meeting of the Old Master Jiayan of Shangtang" in Shanglun Part II, Yu Jiayan mentioned that "all the guilds will speak, and vigorously warm up the evidence to build a red flag in the world." It can be seen that he held some febrile disease academics of unknown scale at that time. Ideological seminars are given to students (the formation of febrile disease theory in later generations began under the influence of Yu Jiayan, which we will talk about later), and this kind of academic conference seems to have been held more than once, and it seems to be held frequently .

You should be surprised, this Yu Jiayan created the first complete medical record model of Chinese medicine, organized the first learning class of Chinese medicine, and organized the first academic seminar of Chinese medicine (this should be recorded in history, It is of great significance, friends who hold seminars all day long should be grateful to others), and it also gave a start to the formation of febrile disease theory in later generations. This professor Yu Jiayan is not easy! That's right, any one of these contents can be said to have made a great contribution to Chinese medicine, but this expert Professor Yu made several at once, which is not ordinary.

Obviously, the classroom atmosphere at that time was very active. Students often asked questions and discussed some controversial issues, which created a good learning atmosphere. The current book "Shang Lun Part II" records a person from A student named "Cheng Yunlai" from Hangzhou asked questions. He asked 16 questions in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" that he didn't understand, and then Professor Yu Jiayan answered these questions very seriously. What is particularly valuable is that at the end of these answers, Professor Yu Jiayan praised this classmate for seeing Comrade Wang Shuhe’s mistakes (Wang Shuhe, a Western Jin medical scientist, compiled Zhang Zhongjing’s "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", Professor Yu Jiayan was very grateful to him If there is an opinion that he did not arrange it well), Professor Yu thought that the student "has extraordinary knowledge", and then used a very exaggerated sentence "I admire!" to end this answer.

"Respect!" Is this what the teacher said to the students?Have you seen any professor who said "respect and admire" when he heard about your original ideas?Professor Yu Jiayan's behavior can only show one thing, that is, he is no longer the person who used to jump three feet high and couldn't hold back the fire, and now he is already an open-minded and lofty Master, in the eyes of this kind of master, no one will surpass me, I will be jealous of this question, what they think is how to let everyone rise to this height as soon as possible, and have the same knowledge as him as soon as possible .

I am deeply touched by this point. The real masters are humble and kind. They will tell you their experience without reservation. What they think is how to pass on knowledge and how to make everyone a master. This is the same as There is a world of difference between ordinary little experts covering their little experience.
