Chinese words often contain wisdom dialectics, such as the word "crisis". In the spring of 2003, the SARS epidemic raided China, which once made many cities become "defenders" because of fear, and it was a life-and-death test for the medical community in China. The SARS epidemic was finally quickly controlled, which not only restored people's lost image of angels in white, but also made the global medical community sit up and take notice of the magical efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine, which has not been recognized by the west for a long time, has once again ushered in a great opportunity to go global.
The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is a great event in the history of medical development, which will lead to the sudden change of world medicine. Its origin can be traced back to the exploration started by some Chinese medicine practitioners in the first half of the last century, and Shengsan Huang, the southern medical authority born in Panyu, is one of the outstanding pioneers.
The history of human development is also a history of fighting diseases, which has been inseparable from medicine for thousands of years. As a culture closely following the pace of human civilization, Chinese and Western medicine are deeply branded with different cultural characteristics, and each has a completely different theoretical system: Chinese medicine takes the China culture of "harmony between man and nature" as the basis, treats the sick as a whole, and regulates the human body through herbs to achieve the balance of yin and yang and five elements; In the west, since the Dutch scholar Levin Hooke invented the world's first microscope in 1676 and found that cells are the smallest unit that constitutes the human body, Western medicine has entered the micro-world, and its treatment theory is to eliminate germs and viruses in the human body. From today, Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases with herbs, with little side effects, but the diagnosis and treatment methods are vague and the curative effect is slow. Western medicine combined with modern science and technology, the diagnosis of chemical drugs is accurate and quick, but the problem of side effects has been difficult to solve.
Shengsan Huang embarked on a career as a doctor and became a blockbuster because of a fierce plague. However, the chaotic society under the rule of warlords is worse than the plague, and a generation of famous doctors can't stand it in Guangzhou. 1924 A very small historical opportunity-Shengsan Huang, who was practicing medicine in Huang Chong, southwest cross street, Guangzhou, fled to Hong Kong overnight because of the "extortion" of gangsters. This somewhat hasty trip to Hong Kong is not only a major turning point in Shengsan Huang's life, but also a new era in the history of medical development. Chinese and western medicine, two kinds of science that have developed on their own tracks for decades, began to achieve the same goal by different routes.
Shengsan Huang, who has just arrived in Hong Kong, is keenly aware that Western medicine, which emphasizes modern scientific and technological means such as experiments, is more accurate and convincing than Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine must actively combine with modern science and technology to seek new development in the face of challenges. As a result, he has always become famous by self-study, and when he was not confused, he began a new exploration: learning Japanese, eating the Japanese version of the original classic western medicine, spending huge sums of money to buy microscopes and experimental equipment, and hiring two western medicine students studying in Germany to assist in the research and practice of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. This experiment, which combines two kinds of medicine to learn from each other's strengths, has made him make breakthrough achievements in many fields such as kidney disease, tuberculosis, influenza and measles.
In the exploration of TCM, Shengsan Huang was a new figure who was determined to innovate at that time. He broke through the closed tradition of Chinese medicine for thousands of years, westernized it, and even was regarded as a heresy by many old Chinese medicine colleagues. In fact, Shengsan Huang was deeply influenced by the Confucian tradition in his medical practice. When he lost his father in childhood, he was filial to his mother and served her day and night until she died at the age of 100. No matter whether the patient is rich or poor, he always treats him with humility and courtesy. There are countless cases in which poor patients are exempt from consultation fees for life and buy medicines out of their own pockets. For students and the younger generation, they are unreservedly committed to teaching their lifelong stunts. He was "born" and lived in seclusion all his life, studying medical skills; After liberation, he gave up generous treatment and returned to China under the call of his motherland, and devoted all his energy to the development of the new China medical system combining traditional Chinese and western medicine in his poor old age. Throughout his life, he can be said to be a generation of Confucian doctors who will never live up to the word "great doctor is sincere".
Chinese medicine is the quintessence of China. From Shennong, a legendary doctor who tasted herbs, to Bian Que, the doctor who was first recorded in historical records, there have been many famous doctors for thousands of years, which has made Chinese medicine develop into a profound scientific and cultural treasure house. However, until today, western medicine is still the dominant medicine in the world. Although the theory of integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine advocated by Shengsan Huang and promoted by practice has made great progress in China for decades, it still needs the long-term unremitting efforts of the medical community to be universally recognized.
Read thousands of books and cure all diseases.
Shengsan Huang is a leading figure of a generation of famous doctors, but not only did he not receive systematic education from the academic school, but he also had no chance to formally learn from famous doctors. Even his ordinary private school education in his childhood was extremely limited, and his profound knowledge was rare among his peers. This is entirely due to his tireless absorption and accumulation for decades; His outstanding medical achievements were carefully summed up by tens of millions of cases during the 65 years of long medical practice.
1882, Shengsan Huang was born in a family of rural doctors in Hualong Town, Panyu. At that time, there were no pharmacies in the countryside, and my father Huang Zixuan often went up the mountain to collect medicines to treat the villagers. Shengsan Huang, deeply influenced by his childhood, became interested in medicine. He could have succeeded his father's career, but his father died at the age of 12, leaving a poor family and several boxes of classical medical books. Since the age of 13, Shengsan Huang has been working as a handyman in rural pawn shops to make a living, but the heavy burden of life cannot erase his will to inherit his father's business. Every night after the pawnshop closed, he lit a lamp in the shop and read and studied the thread-bound books left by his father locally. Later, the pawnbroker was afraid that reading at night would cause a fire, so he banned him, so he hid in the watchtower in the village every night and continued reading tirelessly.
Such silent efforts finally made Shengsan Huang a blockbuster at the age of 17. This year coincided with the epidemic of plague, which spread fiercely. When the village elders saw Shengsan Huang reading medical books late at night, they asked him to try to treat the villagers. The pawnshop owner put a table at the side door of the pawnshop, which became his first light. He carefully examined and applied his medical knowledge flexibly. A novice in the medical field can cure diseases and save countless people. Dozens of villagers came to see the doctor enthusiastically. With his control of the plague, Shengsan Huang's reputation also rose.
Since then, Shengsan Huang has embarked on the road of professional doctors.
I have worked as a rural doctor in my hometown for more than ten years and accumulated rich experience. 19 10, at the age of 28, he was full of confidence to become a metropolis-Guangzhou, and opened the "Huang Chong Bentang" medical clinic in the bustling South Kansai Hengjie (now next to Beijing South Road). In the mid-1920s, he went to Hong Kong and continued to build a museum to help the world. He is famous in Hong Kong, Macao and even the world for treating countless patients and curing a large number of strange diseases. However, his medical skills are becoming more and more perfect, and he has been crowded with people for decades, and many overseas Chinese have come back from overseas to see him.
The continuous improvement of Shengsan Huang's medical skills is largely due to his love of books. From childhood to his eighties, he read a lot of books. He lived in seclusion all his life and never went to dinner. In addition to saving lives, he kept writing books in his spare time and read more than 10,000 books in his life. According to posterity's recollection, because of his long-term diligent recitation and memory, his memory is amazing: he returned to Guangzhou in the middle and late 1950s, and in his seventies, he often attended expert consultations in major hospitals in Guangzhou, often pointing out the symptoms of patients on the spot and recording them in the first few volumes and pages of a book, never making mistakes, which made his peers admire him. He also paid great attention to collecting ancient medical books all his life. * * * has a collection of tens of thousands of books, many of which are rare. After his death, his descendants donated all these books to the library of Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences according to his will.
Integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine
In the 1920s, Guangzhou was occupied by warlords of hundreds of factions. Merchants and citizens had to pay taxes on every hill, and social security was very chaotic. 1924, Shengsan Huang, who is practicing medicine in Guangzhou, had to leave Guangzhou overnight because of "extortion" and personal safety threats. This somewhat hasty departure is not only a major turning point in Shengsan Huang's life, but also a new era in the history of TCM development.
Shengsan Huang went to Leighton Road, Happy Valley to continue the clinic. At that time, British colonists had ruled Hong Kong for decades, and hospitals of western medicine gradually appeared and rose, but Hong Kong people still used Chinese medicine to treat health care. At this time, most Chinese medicine practitioners were hidebound and turned a deaf ear to western medicine. Most Chinese medicine practitioners refuse to believe in "bacteria" and "serum". Shengsan Huang, eager to learn, began to contact foreign medicine. He is keenly aware that western medicine, which emphasizes scientific and technological means such as laboratory tests and experiments, is more convincing than traditional Chinese medicine in diagnosing diseases, while traditional Chinese medicine, which has always been vague in its diagnosis and treatment methods, is about to face major challenges after thousands of years of development. Traditional Chinese medicine should not only inherit its profound tradition, but also embark on the road of combining with modern science and technology.
Therefore, Shengsan Huang carefully studied China's classical medicine and western medical theory. At that time, there were few original works translated into Chinese by western medicine, but there were many Japanese versions. At the end, he studied Japanese and "chewed" the Japanese version of the original western medicine classics. He not only "talked on paper", but also spent a lot of money to buy microscopes and experimental equipment, and hired two western doctors studying in Germany to assist in the research, and implemented the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to learn from each other's strengths.
Shengsan Huang used the new scientific and technological means of western medicine at that time to diagnose diseases, and at the same time treated them with traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, which made a major breakthrough in medical skills. Chinese medicine can cure diseases such as heart disease, chronic nephritis, measles, tuberculosis, cholera and typhoid fever. In the absence of antibiotics, this is very valuable. He emphasized that the treatment must proceed from the root cause, and it is mild, so the curative effect is lasting and there is no side effect, which is highly praised by all walks of life and respected by peers.
For classical medical books, Shengsan Huang read ancient books, not "muddleheaded". For modern western medicine, he absorbed its theoretical accomplishment and scientific and technological means, and combined the essence of China's medical skills for thousands of years. Here, he learned from the strengths of ancient and modern medicine and integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and a brand-new medical system with far-reaching influence on later generations began to be born, and Shengsan Huang was the pioneer of new traditional chinese medicine system that China advocated the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
In the early 1950s, Shengsan Huang, who was nearly old, began to sum up his life's medical experience and published it in Hongkong and Guangzhou, such as New Experimental Therapy for Tuberculosis, New Experimental Therapy for Nephritis and Renal Degeneration, New Drug Therapy for Acute Appendicitis and New Drug Therapy for Diphtheria. There are more than ten kinds of * * *, many of which are republished, and they are regarded as required books in this field by the medical profession. Professor Ye, a senior student and now a doctoral supervisor of internal medicine in the School of Medicine of Sun Yat-sen University, told the reporter that he has been a doctor for 40 years and has always followed the treatment principle of Huang Laozi in nephritis and uremia, and the effect is very good.
A generation of Confucian doctors
China has a saying that "medicine is benevolence" since ancient times, and Professor Ye, a senior student, gave teachers the most concise evaluation: "benevolence".
Shengsan Huang's temperament is elegant and amiable. When sitting in front of the patient, he feels like a spring breeze. No matter whether the person who comes to see a doctor is poor or rich, or even whether he can afford the consultation fee, he will treat the patient equally, carefully examine the condition, patiently listen to the patient's chief complaint, analyze the etiology and pathology, and explain in detail the decoction method and the reaction after taking the prescription. Patients' self-confidence in overcoming diseases often suddenly increases. According to later generations, many patients felt that their condition had improved before taking the medicine.
For poor patients, Huang Shenglan often gives medicine to doctors. It is hard to count how many poor people he has treated for free in his life. As long as he observes patients with financial difficulties, he not only does not charge any consultation fees, but also stamps the prescription. The patient doesn't have to pay for the prescription of the pharmacy. He pays the bill with the pharmacy out of his own pocket.
In China, where Confucianism has been the mainstream for a long time, it is a common practice to evaluate outstanding people from all walks of life to get close to the "authenticity" of Confucianism: a general like Yue Fei, who is extraordinary in writing, skilled in martial arts and worried about the country and the people, is called a "Confucian general"; "Red Top Merchant" Hu Xueyan, known as "Confucian Merchant"; A good doctor with profound knowledge and rich Confucianism is called a "Confucian doctor". Shengsan Huang has been searching for classic medical books since he was a child. At the same time, he has been reading books including Confucian classics. Both personal conduct and the ideal of serving the country are deeply influenced by Confucianism, which can be described as a generation of Confucian doctors.
Shengsan Huang lost his father in his early years, and his mother was very filial. Every morning he goes to his mother's bedside to greet him, and at night he goes to his mother's room to greet him. If his mother is not feeling well, he will eat the soup himself. Thanks to his careful service, his mother lived to be a hundred years old and died without getting sick. When he published his first medical book, he was close to old age and his parents died. He also printed "This book is dedicated to the late father Huang Zixuan and the late mother Mrs. Wei" on the title page of the book to express his gratitude.
According to his nephew Huang Yongjun's later memories, Shengsan Huang was always polite to others. Every villager who went to Yiguang for medical treatment, after diagnosis and treatment, was personally delivered to the door no matter how busy he was at work, and stood in front of the door and bowed to bid farewell to Fujian; As a son and nephew, Huang Yongjun visited his home, and Shengsan Huang was determined to bow to the door, which made the younger generation very sorry.
In the 1920s, due to the lack of personal safety, Shengsan Huang quietly left Guangzhou for Hong Kong overnight. After liberation, Shengsan Huang has been practicing medicine in Hong Kong for more than 30 years and has become a well-known and well-paid doctor in Hong Kong and Macao. But in 1955, he suddenly moved back to Guangzhou from Macau with his family. This incident caused a sensation in Hong Kong, Macao and overseas. From his later interview with Hong Kong reporters, we can see his heart of serving the motherland at that time: "Returning to China to serve the country is very different from serving my personal life when I was in Hong Kong. It is only because the remnants of the reactionary Kuomintang government are arrogant that they have to live in Hong Kong, but who doesn't miss the tomb of Lu, their hometown? So after liberation, I learned about the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s preferential policies, especially that the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the people's government attached so much importance to Chinese medicine, which really encouraged me. So I decided to contribute some of my years of research experience to the country and the people, so I resolutely returned to Guangzhou. " (See Wen Wei Po 1955 September 14).
Shengsan Huang spent most of his life divorced from politics and any organization and devoted himself to medical practice and research. Actively hold public office after returning to China: for example, as a professor at Sun Yat-sen Medical College, teaching selflessly and training the younger generation of doctors; As a consultant of the Guangdong Provincial Health Department and a member of the Council of the Chinese Medical Association, he vigorously promoted the development of medicine in China, especially the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine; He also served as a member of the second, third and fourth sessions of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, and actively participated in the discussion of state affairs. In the ten years after returning to China, after social activities and outpatient service, he spent every minute summing up and refining his life experience, and his works came out one by one.
1On June 24th, 965, Dr. Shengsan Huang passed away. He was famous at home and abroad for his superb medical skills and noble medical ethics. At his memorial service, Premier Zhou Enlai presented a wreath of mourning.
Be ordered to save the leader in a crisis.
1925 In the spring, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was seriously ill in Beijing. The effect of doctors in Beijing at that time was not obvious. When people around Sun Yat-sen learned of Shengsan Huang's fame in the southern medical field, they invited him to the north for expert consultation. Shengsan Huang packed his bags and rushed to the airport, ready to rescue the great man. Unexpectedly, when he was about to board the plane to Beijing, there was bad news from Beijing: Dr. Sun Yat-sen died unfortunately.
In the mid-1950s, with the mobilization of the United Front Work Department of the State, Shengsan Huang returned to the motherland with his family and was elected as a member of the Second, Third and Fourth China People's Political Consultative Conference. During each session, although it lasted only about half a month, he had to stay in Beijing for a month or two before returning to Beijing, because he often had to meet with central leaders such as Liu Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai. Interestingly, at that time, a group of leaders such as Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Deng Xiaoping highly recognized Shengsan Huang's medical skills, but Mao Zedong had never seen Shengsan Huang, perhaps because he felt that Shengsan Huang's diagnosis and treatment had been westernized too much.
