History and culture

Historical allusions

The biography of Ding Hong in the book of the later Han Dynasty records a story: Emperor he of the Eastern Han Dynasty was only 14 years old when he ascended the throne. Because he was young and incompetent, Empress Dowager Dou was in power. Her elder brother, dou xianguan, was in the great general's army. In fact, the military and political power of the country fell into the hands of Dou Xian, the brother of Empress Dowager Dou. They do whatever they want and plot to seize power. Seeing this phenomenon, many ministers were very worried, and they were all sweating for the Han Dynasty. The minister situ Dinghong is one of them. Ding Hong is very knowledgeable and has a great study of scriptures. He was very angry with empress dowager Dou's dictatorship and determined to get rid of this evil for his country. A few years later, there was a solar eclipse in the sky. Taking advantage of this ominous sign, Ding Hong wrote to the emperor and suggested that when the power of the Dou brothers was not strong enough, they should stop it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. Only in this way can the country be in long-term stability. In the memorial, he said: "if Du Jian defends Meng, the evil demon can be destroyed." He di had such a plan for a long time, so he took his advice and appointed him as the Taiwei and Weiwei, who was stationed in the north and South palaces. At the same time, he dismissed Dou Xian's officials. Knowing that the blame was inevitable, Dou Xian brothers committed suicide, thus avoiding a possible palace coup.

Medical Culture

In medicine, preventive measures embody the principle of prevention first. TCM attaches great importance to early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. "Neijing" said: "good treatment of skin, followed by skin, followed by tendons, followed by six Fu organs, followed by five zang organs.". Any disease has a development process from shallow to deep. A good doctor should treat it when the disease is mild. If the disease is serious, it will become more difficult. The canon of internal medicine also vividly compares: "it's not too late for husband's disease to be treated later, and chaos to be treated later. It's not too late for husband's disease to be treated later, for example, he is still thirsty to go through the well and fight to cast a cone." Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine regards whether a doctor can make early diagnosis and treatment of diseases as the standard to judge whether the doctor's medical skills are excellent, and puts forward the idea of "treating terminal diseases at work". Going to work is a good doctor. It enlightens us that hidden dangers should be removed in time to avoid more disasters; diseases should be treated as soon as possible to avoid greater harm to the body.
