No matter which dynasty, in the event of a major epidemic, the court will assign relevant officials to lead the imperial doctors and medical and aid materials to the epidemic areas for prevention and control at the first time.

Second, the implementation of regional isolation of the hardest hit areas:

Generally speaking, in view of the epidemic situation and plague epidemic areas, considering the spread of infection and other reasons, an isolation area will be opened, similar to the plague village, where all patients will be managed in one area, and special personnel will be assigned to find the source of infection, centralized diagnosis and treatment, isolation of patients, and large-scale disinfection with lime powder.

In addition, the military monitors the periphery to prevent patients from escaping, so as to cut off the route of transmission. This centralized isolation can effectively control the spread of plague and control the epidemic situation to the maximum extent. You know, in ancient times, this kind of centralized isolation may be the best way to control and prevent the plague.

Third, civil prevention and control:

In ancient times, a major plague epidemic occurred, and it was not enough to rely solely on the assistance of the imperial court. Since ancient times, many famous folk doctors have independently participated in the rescue and treatment of epidemic situations.

For example, Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, Ye in the Qing Dynasty and Wu and Tang Dynasties in the late Qing Dynasty all made great contributions to the treatment of plague. They independently develop drugs and teach people how to prevent and disinfect. Among them, Angong Niuhuang Pill, Zhibaodan and Zixuedan recommended by Wu Tang for the treatment of late symptoms of plague are still in clinical use, and are called the three treasures for the treatment of plague.
