Chapter 84 Mystery of studying medicine

Now, let me solve the mystery of when Fu Qingzhu started studying medicine for you! I searched through the literature left by Fu Qingzhu. Before he became a Taoist priest in Jiashen year, there was no record of him seeing a doctor. Instead, he and his family were tortured by the disease. After he became a Taoist priest, records began to appear in the literature to treat people. For example, after he came down from Wufeng Mountain, he began to travel around Jinzhong, looking for opportunities to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Wherever he went, the common people invited him. To see a doctor, sometimes I can’t even leave, and the treatment effect is very good, and I don’t charge money from ordinary people. (When old and young men and women ask for sickness, they will not be allowed to go, and they will be diagnosed and treated calmly. There are many strange experiences, and the rewards will not be accepted.)

Another poem written by him at the age of forty-four reflects the process of seeing the mother of a man named Hua Shi when he saw a doctor. After the illness was cured, Hua Shi used a donkey to carry Fu Qingzhu back and forth. : "Hua Shi's mother is critically ill, and I set up a doctor to heal her. Every time she travels, she carries her beloved black donkey on her back." Let's see for yourself, how big is the contrast between before and after? From being forced to cry bitterly by the illness to being calm later, it is obvious that Fu Qingzhu experienced a turning point in his life on Wufeng Mountain. So, what happened on Wufeng Mountain? what?

All the doubts focused on this Huanyang real person, Guo Jingzhong. Who is he?Could it be him who changed Fu Qingzhu? Let's look for the records of the relationship between Fu Qingzhu and Guo Jingzhong from the literature. Now we can find only a few poems written by Fu Qingzhu about his relationship with the Taoist priest Guo Jingzhong. Youxuanyun", the pseudo-office here refers to an office of Li Zicheng's uprising army. It can be seen that Guo Jingzhong was in contact with Li Zicheng's army at that time. At this time, Li Zicheng had withdrawn from Beijing and became a force against the Qing army. It is estimated that it was all in chaos at that time, no matter what Li Zicheng was or the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were fighting against the Qing army, they were all objects of unity.Fu Qingzhu didn't see Guo Jingzhong this time, and returned disappointed.

Then, there was a poem written in winter, titled "Talking at Night by the Taoist Master Wufeng in the Snow". In the teacher's Taoist temple, the two had a secret conversation all night, and the lights in their room were kept on all night. As for what exactly were they talking about that night?It has become a permanent secret that no one knows. However, from Fu Qing's behavior after the Sunday, we seem to be able to guess something about the content of the conversation that night. Since then, Fu Qingzhu began to travel around as a Taoist priest, engaging in the anti-Qing and Ming-ming movement. Obviously, this should be one of the topics discussed that night.

From then on, Fu Qingzhu began to pay attention to medicine, studied medical records, and finally became a generation of famous doctors. I believe this was also one of the topics discussed that night. Dai Tingshi, a good friend of Fu Qingzhu and a classmate of Sanli Academy, said in his biography to Fu Qingzhu: "The Taoist (referring to Fu Qingzhu) is good at illness, and the real man who receives the Tao returns the sun", which means that Fu Qingzhu is in poor health and often falls ill, so he received the Tao from Master Huanyang, here, what is the relationship between "good illness" and "accepting the Tao", why did he write it together? Could it be that Master Huanyang would give Fu Qingzhu any advice and help for his body?

Then contact Fu Qingzhu's poem "Talking with the Taoist Master Wufeng in the Snow" in which he once compared Guo Jingzhong, the real person in Huanyang, to the fairy prince Qiao who delivered medicine to the world, and we can be more firm in our previous point of view. , health issues must be an important topic of discussion. So, who is this Huanyang real person, Guo Jingzhong?What secrets are hidden under his mysterious veil? There have been very few records of this matter in the literature. This Huanyang Master seems to be a god who sees his head but never ends. It is difficult for outsiders to meet him. It was even difficult for Fu Qingzhu to find him at the beginning. When Fu Qingzhu worshiped him as his teacher, he had already It is an old man of eighty-five years old, but he can still run down the mountain to Li Zicheng's barracks, he is really very strong.

Now, let us unravel the mystery of this hero Guo! It turned out that this hero Guo was originally a priest of the Ming Dynasty. When he saw the decline of the Ming Dynasty, he became a Taoist priest (Shiming Chushi, who saw the decline of the Ming Dynasty, escaped to the yellow crown). As for which sect of Taoist priest he is, he gave Fu Qingzhu Judging from the word "Zhen" in the Taoist name "Zhenshan", he belongs to the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Sect, because the Longmen Sect uses the crosses of "Tao, De, Tong, Yuan, Jing, Zhen, Chang, Shou, Tai, Qing" and so on. for number.

However, he doesn't seem to be limited by sects, but is better at the cultivation of the Taoist Shenxiao sect. What kind of kung fu is the Shenxiao sect best at?One is to repair inner alchemy, and the other is to drive away thunder and rain.The literature records that this hero Guo "has tasted Huayin, met a stranger named Liu, and taught him the art of golden elixir and the method of five thunders. From then on, he traveled between Jin, Chu, Yan, and Zhao, and was good at praying for rain. Officials often travel hundreds of thousands of miles to pray for the return of the sun. There is no difference when praying, but if you build an altar, clap your hands with the thunder mark in your palm, and then thunderbolts will follow, and heavy rain will pour in. Or ask for it If there are many people, one talisman of the first book will be paid, and only those who hold it will enter the country, and the rain will have gathered."

The meaning of this passage is that when Guo Daxia passed by Huayin County, he met a mysterious person named Liu. This teacher Liu taught Guo Daxia the method of refining internal and external alchemy, as well as the method of driving away thunder and rain. Since then, Guo Daxia began to make rain in various places. His main customers are government departments and county magistrates in various places. There is nothing special about it, just build a high altar, stand on it, clap your hands, thunder will sound, and then it will rain heavily. Looking at it this way, Guo Daxia was simply a super cool character back then. I don’t know how reliable the records in this kind of Taoist literature are. It is estimated that most of them are myths. He dared to challenge the weather forecast. It seems a little courageous, but they It is true to pay attention to qigong to regulate the body.

More importantly, this hero Guo is well-read, "especially good at "Yi"". Obviously, this has an influence on Fu Qingzhu, because a person like Fu Qingzhu who studies knowledge must study it, and later Fu Qingzhu Still a master at this. In short, what is certain is that Fu Qingzhu did not learn how to drive away thunder and rain, otherwise history will be rewritten, and there will be a Fu Qingzhu working in the Meteorological Bureau in future generations, not in the health system as he is now. So, what did Fu Qingzhu learn from Guo Daxia?Is there anything in the cultivation content of the Shenxiao School that inspires Fu Qingzhu?

This starts with the theoretical core of the Shenxiao school. The theoretical basis of the Shenxiao school is the theory of the interaction between heaven and man and the unity of the inside and the outside. answer.In their classic "Lei Shuo", there is such a content: "Scholars have nothing to ask for, but they can ask for my own body. The five elements are rooted in the two qi, and the two qi are divided into the five elements. People can gather the qi of the five elements, Carrying the energy of the five elements into the five thunders." It can be seen that they are based on the five elements and yin and yang when they practice qigong, and they pay special attention to the mutual generation and mutual restraint relationship between the five internal organs and the five elements. So, let's look through Fu Qingzhu's medical books, and we will be surprised to find that all of Fu Qingzhu's medical prescriptions and treatments are analyzed with the five elements, which is the most notable feature of his medical books. That's right! Moreover, one of the main characteristics of Fu Qingzhu's medical thinking is that he is good at nourishing, but he is not good at treating exogenous diseases. This is also similar to Taoism's practice of nourishing. And from Fu Qingzhu's records about Taoist priest Guo Jingzhong, we can indeed find that this is a master who has attained the Tao. When Guo Jingzhong was 90 years old (the fifth year of Shunzhi), Fu Qingzhu also wrote a poem "Book Fan Yi Huanyang Daoist", the preface of the poem also recorded that Huanyang Zhenren used qigong to regulate his body. The records written by Wang Youpu (1681～1760) in "Poetry Auditorium Miscellaneous Compilation" further confirm our conjecture. He said: "Mr. , learn Daoyinshu." Daoyinshu, that is, qigong and other health-preserving methods, in fact, Fu Qingzhu should have learned more than that. We speculate that Fu Qingzhu may have read some medical books a long time ago, but did not make breakthroughs, but under the inspiration of Master Guo Jingzhong, he began to grasp the essence of the five elements syndrome differentiation; or simply, he started to study here Medical books. Later, he studied "Huangdi Neijing" and other medical books assiduously, and at the same time used Taoist ideas to assist digestion, and finally developed a unique field of Chinese medicine theory. This is the truth of the matter. The predecessors have not explained where Fu Qingzhu's medical skills come from. This has always been a mystery, and everyone has vaguely mentioned it. Now, I will separate it out. Fu Qingzhu is not a god born out of nowhere, but an ordinary person who has experienced vicissitudes of life and suffered from diseases. Finally, inspired by the classical culture of the motherland, he finally realized the way of health.
