Original text and translation of Sincere Great Doctor

The original text of "Great Doctor Sincerity" is as follows:

Zhang Zhan said: It is still very difficult for a husband to master the classics. Today, there are internal similarities and external differences, internal differences and external similarities. Therefore, the deficiency of the internal organs and the occlusion of the blood vessels are not observed by the eyes and ears. We must first make a diagnosis and then wait for the trial.

But there are ups and downs and tight strings, there are differences in the depth of acupoints, and there are differences in the thickness and hardness of skin and bones. Only those with subtle intentions can talk to them.

It is not dangerous to seek ideas from rough to shallow and from fine to fine! If the surplus is beneficial, the deficiency is harmful, the penetration is thorough, the blockage is stagnant, the cold is cold, and the heat is warm, which adds luster to its disease and hopes for its life. I saw it die. Therefore, it is difficult for doctors to improve their artistic ability in divination. Since it is not divine, how can it be subtle?

There are fools in the world who have read for three years and say that there is no disease in the world; After three years of treatment, I know I can't use it. Therefore, scholars must be knowledgeable about medical sources, be diligent and tireless, and not hearsay. As far as medical practice is concerned, they are all wet.

Husband is a doctor's law, so don't ridicule, say jokes, say right and wrong, say people, show off your reputation and ruin all doctors. Conceited and virtuous. Occasionally, if you treat a disease, you will be cocky, sad, but self-respecting, which is called a westward journey.

Laojun said: people should be virtuous and report themselves; People do evil, ghosts and gods report. When people do evil, they report themselves; People's evil, ghosts and gods harm them. Looking for these two ways, it is also true that yin and yang repay kindness. Therefore, a doctor can't wait for his own strengths and concentrate on managing property, but he feels blessed when his heart is in the dark.

Treating him with wealth and precious drugs makes him hard to be found and shows off his functions. This is not the way of loyalty and forgiveness. The purpose is to save liberation, so it is also broken, and scholars are not ashamed to say vulgar.

Zhang Zhan, a scholar in Jin Dynasty, said: "Classic prescriptions are difficult to master and have a long history." This is because diseases have the same internal causes but different external symptoms, as well as different internal causes and the same external symptoms.

Therefore, whether the internal organs are full or empty, whether the qi of qi, blood, camp and health is smooth or not, can not be understood by people's ears and eyes alone, but only by pulse-taking. However, the pulsation of the three parts of the size gauge is different, including floating, sinking, chord and tightness; There is a difference between qi and blood circulation and perfusion at acupoints.

There are differences in skin thickness, and bones and muscles are weak. Only careful people can talk to him about these truths. Isn't it dangerous to explore extremely subtle medical truths with the roughest and shallowest ideas?

Positive evidence is supplemented by the rule of law, and false evidence is supplemented by the rule of law; Those who benefit from qi and blood should be dredged, and if they are not smooth, they have to be blocked; Give him cold medicine for cold syndrome and warm medicine for heat syndrome.

These treatments are aggravating the patient's condition. You want him to recover, but I see that he is more critical. Therefore, medical prescription and divination are difficult skills to master. Since it is not taught by the gods, how can we understand that profound and subtle truth?

Some stupid people in the world boast that there is nothing worth treating after three years of medical treatment. After three years of treatment, I realized that there is no ready-made prescription in the world.

Therefore, people who study medicine must explore the principles of medicine extensively and deeply, concentrate on hard work, and never slack off. They cannot understand the principles of medicine through hearsay. In that case, you will greatly harm yourself!

The rule of being a doctor should be careful with words. Don't joke with others at will, don't talk loudly, talk about other people's shortcomings, show off your reputation, slander and attack other doctors to boast about your advantages.

If you accidentally cure a patient, you will be cocky, and you will brag about yourself, thinking that you are a Chinese odyssey. These are all bad habits of doctors.

Laozi said: "If a person is openly virtuous to others, people will naturally repay him;" A man is secretly virtuous to others, and ghosts and gods will repay him. If a person openly does evil to others, people will naturally retaliate against him; If a person secretly does evil to others, ghosts and gods will do harm to him. "To discuss these two aspects of behavior, that is, what Yang gives, what Yang rewards, and what Yin gives, is it deceptive?

Therefore, doctors can't rely solely on their own expertise to seek property wholeheartedly. As long as they have the idea of relieving the suffering of others, they will feel how blessed they are when they go to the underworld.

Also, just because others have money and status, you can't prescribe expensive drugs casually, making it difficult for them to find and show off their skills. This is really not in line with the Confucian principle of loyalty and forgiveness. My goal is to help the world, so I talked about it in detail. People studying medicine can't be ashamed of my rudeness.
