Chapter 123 Fan Tianlan's Needle Box

"Bringing up this incident, there was still an interesting incident about Liang Rengong." Fan Tianlan couldn't help but think of an incident that caused a lot of trouble back then.

Speaking of Liang Rengong, there are probably not many young people who know him well. I only remember that there are "Kangliang Reform" in history textbooks, and "Young China Talk" in Chinese textbooks. These two are directly related to Liang Qiliang Rengong. If you take a closer look, you can know that Liang Rengong had some relationship with President Yuan Shikai later, and later, it seems that he also had some unclear contacts with the emperor Pu Yi of the Qing Dynasty.

But all in all, Liang Rengong once represented the progressive forces of society, and he is also a figure worthy of the title of master. We still have to use historical materialism and dialectical perspective to analyze the later things, and we can’t do it because of a little flaw. Just obliterate his original achievements, oh, this is a bit far away.

Liang Rengong is an influential figure in modern Chinese history. Once his political or academic works are published, they are immediately popular in the contemporary era. He has an emotional pen, and the articles he writes are clear in reasoning, and the so-called blending of reason and reason, as praised by the people at the time, is thrilling and worth a lot of money. At that time, Mr. Liang raised his arms and greeted the crowd, which can be said to have countless fans.

He went to the university to give lectures. He wore a blue robe and a green jacket. He was tall and bald, but his face was red and his eyes were bright and energetic. He used many hand gestures to help express his speech. When citing a book, I don't read the original work, but recite it in paragraphs. When I can't recite it, I tap my forehead with my finger, and then suddenly continue to talk.

At that time, the people of the country, from the president to the common people, felt that they would not listen to Mr. Liang. Mistakes are bound to be made. In 1921, an Austrian violin master came to Beijing to perform, and Liang Qi wrote an article in "Morning News" to recommend it. Point out that if you don't go to Dongcheng Real Light Cinema to listen to this musician play famous western songs, you are a barbarian without education!

So Beijing university and high school students pawned their clothes to buy expensive admission tickets. President Li Yuanhong also thought that he was by no means a barbarian, so he booked a room in the cinema, brought his wives, concubines and family members, and went to join in the show. And presented a large basket of flowers to Western musicians.

This shows how great Liang Rengong's charm is. However, this Liang Rengong has always had trouble with Chinese medicine.

At that time, Liang Qi and Liang Rengong suffered from hematuria. Admitted to Union Hospital. He has been ill for many years, and his family repeatedly persuaded him to seek medical treatment, which was always troublesome. But the day before he was admitted to the hospital, he suddenly suspected that he had cancer. Finally agreed to check it out. After X-ray fluoroscopy, the doctor saw a black spot in the right kidney, which was diagnosed as a tumor.

Liang Zhongce, Liang Qi’s younger brother, asked the attending doctor, “It’s not necessarily cancer, is it?” The doctor replied, “It’s not necessarily cancer.” How to treat it? The doctor said to remove them all. After the operation, the kidney was dissected, and it was found that there was a black spot as big as a cherry, but it was not cancer. What's terrible is that the patient's urine is still bloody, and the source of the disease cannot be detected. So the follow-up visit was an unreasonable hemorrhage.

The newspapers at the time played it up.

It is said that after Liang Qi was admitted to the hospital for examination, the doctor could not tell the cause of the disease. After several doctors' examinations and inferences, it was determined that the disease was in the right kidney, saying that there was a tumor on it. If the right kidney was not removed, the tumor would inevitably expand, and there would always be a day of cutting it out. Therefore, cutting is inevitable sooner or later, although it does not matter within four or five years. But late treatment is worse than early treatment, at least early treatment can avoid the risk of developing other diseases.

Therefore, after the abdomen was opened, the doctors did not see any tumor or any problems on the right kidney. But the right kidney was still cut off! However, Mr. Liang's hematuria did not improve. They suddenly saw that something was wrong with the teeth, so they pulled out seven teeth in a row. But the hematuria is still not good. They also said that the problem was diet. The patient was starved for several days in a row. But his hematuria is still not cured! So the doctors said, they couldn't find the cause! They said again, this disease is nothing serious! For this insignificant disease, one kidney was cut off, seven teeth pulled out, exhausted from hunger, emaciated, eyes sunken, what is going on? And it cost hundreds of dollars!

"This matter caused a lot of trouble at the time. Liang Rengongdi's younger brother, Chen Xiying and Xu Zhimo, who were celebrities in the cultural circle at the time, wrote articles mocking Western medicine, and Lu Xun also stood up to fight against Western medicine, denouncing the absurdity of Chinese medicine. It’s a big deal.” Fan Tianlan said to Fan Wubing, “Privately, Mr. Liang Qi told his family that the operation is indeed unnecessary this time, and he also said that the operation was a mistake made by Xiehe Menglang, but in the face of public opinion, He still published articles defending Xiehe, western medicine, and science, because he was afraid that the society or because of this incident would have bad reactionary ideas about medicine or other sciences.”

"Isn't this a bit of self-deception?" Fan Wubing rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that this master is very capable of sacrificing his own body, for a little obsession, even his waist was involved.

"From this incident, you can see how weak the status of Chinese medicine was at that time. In fact, for a long time, the national government considered banning Chinese medicine." Mr. Fan said, "I told Cheng My brother returned to China at that time. He promoted his acupuncture technique and recruited many disciples, while I traveled all over the country to verify various ancient prescriptions by myself. I wanted to sort out a more systematic and practical acupuncture technique. Save some ancient recipes hidden among the people."

When Fan Tianlan recalled that period of time, he was quite emotional. The two talked about the old things for a while, and Feng Ping brought Feng Mao over. This time, he brought a lot of daily necessities, preparing to be hospitalized.

"Do you want acupuncture today?" Fengping was quite anxious in her heart. After all, after some massage yesterday, Fengmao's toes could move. This is a huge improvement. Can the legs move?

Of course, Feng Ping also knew that her thoughts might be a little unrealistic. The legs that have been paralyzed for more than ten years cannot be cured so easily. Even if he meets a miracle doctor, he still has to recover gradually!

"Today is not suitable for acupuncture, but you can use moxibustion first." Fan Tianlan said with a smile.

The old man had already prepared a lot of mugwort, moxa rolls, and ginger slices. He took them out at this time and said to Fan Wubing and others, "Acupuncture and moxibustion are not enough without moxibustion. , but moxibustion is much simpler, and it is basically adjuvant therapy. Wormwood is best picked at the Dragon Boat Festival in May. The longer it is, the better the effect. Artemisia leaves enter the meridians, regulate qi and blood, expel dampness and cold, and warm the meridians , to stop bleeding, and to prevent miscarriage. But there is one thing to note, it should be used with caution for yin deficiency and blood heat."

The old man exposed Fengmao's legs, then pasted ginger slices on Zusanli, ignited moxa, put them on it for moxibustion, and said to everyone, "Zusanli is the first place for health care, it is the common People, if you have nothing to do, you can often do moxibustion. It is good for health and intelligence. After learning Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, the Japanese regard it as a treasure. They have a lot of experience in moxibustion for Zusanli. , here it means regular moxibustion at Zusanli."

"What's the meaning of Sanli Chang quitting?" Fan Wubing felt a little strange, so he asked.

"Hehe, you'll know later." The old man said with a smile.

While doing moxibustion and changing places, he talked to Fan Wubing about some basic theories, such as the fourteen meridians and meridian flow, and of course there were a lot of reasoning about yin and yang and five elements. Fan Tianlan had extensive knowledge and experience in medicine Rich, talking about these things does not feel jerky at all, it is not at the same level as the professors in the university who follow the scriptures, Fan Wubing is also a well-informed person, and because of practicing kung fu, he has a lot of knowledge about these things , so the two chatted very happily, but they didn't feel bored at all.

Unknowingly, a long time passed, and finally the old man said that he had moxibustion here today, and after taking off the ginger slices, he saw that there were many blisters on the epidermis above the vaginal passages of Fengmao's legs , the old man took a silver needle and popped the blisters one by one, the liquid inside flowed out, making the upper part of his legs wet.

"Oh, that's what it means." Fan Wubing suddenly realized, and only then did he understand what the old man meant when he said that he would never do anything.

Since Zusanli is often moxibustion, then it must be often moxibustion blisters here, and it will be natural after being pierced.

Fan Wubing saw Fan Tianlan's needle box, which looked very simple and unsophisticated. It was actually carved from a whole piece of red sandalwood. It seemed that it was not newly made, so he asked, "Master, this box looks a bit like Antique!"

Mr. Fan didn't care about Fan Wubing casually calling him his master, he took a look at Fan Wubing, and continued to examine Fengmao, "It's something that has been passed down through the family, I can't tell how many generations there are."

Fan Wubing opened the box and took a look, he saw that there were quite a lot of needles, big and small, long and short, and the silver needles were all polished brightly, but there was a gold needle among them, which was shining golden and was completely different from the other needles. .

Fan Wubing looked at the needle and felt very curious. He couldn't help but pulled it out, but found that the golden needle was coiled up. When he pulled it out, it was more than a foot long. It was soft and not like acupuncture. It's more like a gold thread for wrapping things.

This thing looks really weird! Fan Wubing had never seen such a needle before.
