In the prosperous age of Kangxi, in the smoke and water of Wumen, a commoner doctor used his pulse to reveal the secrets of heaven.
Ye Tianshi, a miracle doctor known to everyone in Suzhou City, calls himself "Yiyin of Wumen". He lost his father when he was seventeen years old, and he studied under seventeen masters successively, learning everything from internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, gynecology, and ophthalmology, and eventually became a great master. However, the higher his medical skills, the more secretive he behaves - he does not show signs of diagnosis, does not hang plaques, and does not accept gifts of thanks from dignitaries. He only sits in the Huichun Hall and treats patients as if they are puzzles.
A giant silk merchant suddenly went bankrupt, and three medical clinics treated him according to the theory of stroke, which was more serious than the disease. He went against all opinions and diagnosed it as "depletion of essence and blood, liver yang transforming into wind", and tried his best to resolve the situation with one dose; Xia Yue, a scholar from a poor family, felt evil, and his former doctor mistakenly diagnosed typhoid fever and used Ephedra decoction to induce sweating, which caused the warm evil to be trapped in the body. Febrile disease spread quietly in the alleys of Yixue. He proposed three strategies for the city's epidemic prevention, but fell in front of his best prescription...
His colleagues ridiculed him for being deviant, and his old enemy Zhang Nan accused him of "wasting Zhongjing's method." He only said: "The disease is changing, and the prescriptions are also changing. Sticking to the ancient prescriptions to treat today's diseases is using the ancient prescriptions to kill people."
From a single case of febrile disease to an epidemic, from the fear of seventeen people under his tutelage to the world-breaking thesis of "On Warm Disease" - this is a medical legend based on the real medical records of Ye Tianshi, the master of the febrile disease school in the Qing Dynasty.
Between looking, hearing and asking, it is life and death, it is the human heart, and it is also the four words that a doctor wants to understand throughout his life:
Where does disease come from?
