Yitongshanhe

Introduction to the content of "Yi Tong Shan He" At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, plague was rampant and the mountains and rivers were broken. Young Zhang Ji (Zhong Jing) witnessed hundreds of members of his clan die from the typhoid epidemic, and decided to abandon Confucianism and practice medicine, determined to "treat the illnesses of the emperor and his relatives, and save the poor and the humble". In the turbulent times and the devastation of life, he read through medical books and learned from many prescriptions. When he was the governor of Changsha, he still practiced medicine. He condensed his lifelong clinical experience into the sixteen volumes of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", established the syndrome differentiation system of six classics, and laid the foundation of clinical medicine of traditional Chinese medicine. However, before the great work could be widely circulated, it was scattered and lost due to the war. Until the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wang Shuhe, an imperial doctor, was deeply aware of the collapse of medical ethics. He exhausted his efforts to search for Zhongjing's manuscripts, identify their authenticity, and reorganize their chapters. Finally, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" was handed down to the world. Over hundreds of years, Lin Yi and others in the Northern Song Dynasty were ordered to conduct revisions, which brought Zhongjing's learning back to the world and became "the sect of all methods and the ancestor of all prescriptions". This book takes the lives of Zhang Zhongjing, Wang Shuhe and other doctors as its latitude and longitude, and takes the inheritance of "Shanghai" and "Golden Chamber" as its main line to write a magnificent epic of doctors protecting the fire of civilization in the great changes of the times. Silver needles can relieve pain, and menstruation can heal serious illnesses. But what is more immortal than medical skills is the heart that keeps the fire burning in the darkness - the heart of a great doctor for the common people.
