Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world
Chapter 28: Ancient Medicine
Zhou Shan is not only knowledgeable, but also gentle in character, as if all the wisdom of ancient times has been gathered in her.
"Miss Zhou!" Chen Fang walked quickly to Zhou Shan's side, her face filled with excitement. "I heard that you are quite knowledgeable about ancient medicine. Can you teach me?"
Zhou Shan raised her head and smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in her eyes: "Miss Chen, ancient medicine is extensive and profound, and it takes time to learn it. Are you mentally prepared?"
"Of course!" Chen Fang nodded firmly, with a hint of urgency in her tone, "I hope to learn more about medical knowledge and prescriptions to help those in need."
Seeing her seriousness, Zhou Shan nodded: "Okay, let's start with the basics. Do you know the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine?"
"I've heard of it, but haven't read it in depth." Chen Fang was a little ashamed and secretly vowed to study hard.
"Then let me tell you the essence of it." Zhou Shan began to talk, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is a classic of ancient medicine. It mainly talks about the theories of yin and yang, the five elements, viscera and meridians. It emphasizes the harmony between man and nature and believes that the health of the body depends on the balance of qi and blood."
"Balance of Qi and blood?" Chen Fang frowned, thinking about this concept, "Then how can we maintain this balance?"
Zhou Shan smiled and pointed to a few wild flowers beside her: "Look, these flowers thrive in the sun. They need the nourishment of sunlight, water and soil. The same is true for the human body. Proper diet, exercise and mood regulation are the key to maintaining the balance of qi and blood."
"I understand!" Chen Fang's eyes sparkled, and her admiration for ancient medicine deepened. "Then, Miss Zhou, can you teach me some simple prescriptions?"
"Of course." Zhou Shan thought for a moment, took out a roll of parchment, and gently unfolded it. It was densely written with words. "These are some common prescriptions I sorted out recently. They are suitable for daily minor illnesses and pains."
Chen Fang watched intently, her heart full of yearning: "These prescriptions are so amazing! Can I learn them?"
"As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to master it." Zhou Shan encouraged gently, "For example, this recipe is for treating colds. It mainly uses ginger, red dates and cinnamon, which can warm the body and dispel the cold."
"Ginger, red dates and cinnamon..." Chen Fang silently wrote down these herbs and secretly decided to find these ingredients and try to mix them herself.
"However, learning medicine is not just about memorizing prescriptions, but more importantly, understanding their principles," Zhou Shan added. "You need to learn to observe the patient's symptoms and identify their constitution so that you can prescribe the right medicine."
"I will try my best!" Chen Fang said firmly, her heart full of longing for the future.
Just as they were immersed in the discussion, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the surrounding leaves rustled, as if cheering for their friendship and study.
"Ms. Zhou, what aspects of medicine do you think I am suitable for studying?" Chen Fang asked curiously.
Zhou Shan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You have a gentle and considerate personality. Perhaps you can consider learning some knowledge about acupuncture and massage. These therapies require delicate techniques and keen observation."
"Acupuncture and massage?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Fang's eyes. "I've heard that acupuncture can cure all diseases, and massage can relax muscles and joints. Can I also learn these skills?"
"Of course." Zhou Shan smiled slightly, her eyes full of encouragement, "As long as you are willing to put in the time and effort, you will definitely be able to master it."
"Thank you, Miss Zhou!" Chen Fang said gratefully, her heart full of expectations for the future.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance interrupted their conversation. A man in a green shirt hurried over with a serious expression.
"Ms. Zhou, Miss Chen, come and help! Someone in the village is sick!" the man said anxiously, with anxiety in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Zhou Shan immediately stood up and his expression became serious.
"Old Li at the village head suddenly had a high fever and felt weak all over. He has been lying down for several hours!" the man said anxiously.
"Let's go check it out right away!" Zhou Shan said without hesitation, turning to Chen Fang and saying, "Come on, come with me."
"Okay, I'll follow you right away!" Chen Fang felt a surge of blood in her heart and immediately followed Zhou Shan and ran towards the village entrance.
Beside her, the villagers gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices, and from time to time they cast expectant glances at her.
"Ms. Chen Fang, what are you studying today?" A middle-aged woman named Li Mei came forward and asked with concern.
"I'm reading this book about herbs, trying to find some prescriptions that can cure the epidemic in the village." Chen Fang raised her head and responded with a smile.
"Epidemic? Everyone in our village is about to fall ill. You must find a way!" Li Mei's voice was filled with anxiety and her eyes were shining with hope.
"I'll do my best, Aunt Li." Chen Fang nodded and secretly vowed in her heart that she must help the villagers overcome their difficulties.
At this time, the old village chief, Uncle Wang, also came over. His white-haired face was full of wrinkles and his expression was solemn. "Chen Fang, I heard that you can use modern medical techniques to treat diseases. Can you show it to the people in our village?"
"Uncle Wang, I will try my best to help everyone, but I need to know everyone's symptoms." Chen Fang stood up and said seriously.
"I have a few patients here. Come with me." After saying this, Uncle Wang turned and walked towards the small house at the entrance of the village, and Chen Fang followed closely behind him.
In the hut, several villagers were lying on the bed, looking pale. Chen Fang walked to the first patient and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I... I have a fever and a severe headache." The patient's voice was weak and his face was full of pain.
"Let me check your pulse." Chen Fang gently held his hand, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the beating of his pulse. "You have a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for you."
"Thank you, Miss Chen Fang!" the patient said gratefully, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Then, Chen Fang turned to the second patient, a little girl with a sallow complexion and a dazed look. "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
"I... my stomach hurts." The little girl answered softly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you." Chen Fang squatted down, gently stroked the little girl's head, and then began to ask about her eating habits. After some understanding, Chen Fang judged that the little girl's gastrointestinal discomfort was caused by eating unclean food.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll feel better after taking it." Chen Fang comforted her with a smile, and secretly made up her mind to bring these prescriptions back to the modern era to help more people.
Finally, Chen Fang walked to the bedside of an old man who looked dazed and confused. "Grandpa, how do you feel?" Chen Fang asked softly.
"I... I can't remember clearly." The old man murmured, with a helpless look in his eyes.
"Let me help you." Chen Fang gently held the old man's hand and carefully asked about his medical history and symptoms. She found that the old man was weak due to long-term lack of nutrition. She immediately decided to develop a nutritious diet plan for the old man.
After a lot of hard work, Chen Fang finally prescribed the right medicine for each patient and told them to take it on time. The villagers expressed their gratitude, their eyes full of trust and expectation.
"Ms. Chen Fang, you are really our savior!" Li Mei said excitedly, with tears in her eyes.
"I'm just doing my part. I hope everyone can recover soon." Chen Fang smiled slightly, feeling warm in her heart.
As time went by, the villagers' conditions gradually improved, and Chen Fang's reputation spread throughout the village. People began to seek her out for treatment, and even people from neighboring villages came to see her.
"Ms. Chen Fang, you are such an amazing person!" a young villager said with admiration after seeing the patient.
"I just hope to use what I have learned to help everyone." Chen Fang answered modestly, but her heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
In this ancient village, Chen Fang not only healed the villagers' bodies with modern medical knowledge, but also gradually won their hearts. She knew that trust was built on mutual understanding and care, and she was willing to contribute her strength to this village and become a solid bridge in the hearts of the villagers.
