Translation of Bian Que Cang Gong's Biographies

It's Zheng from Bohai County. His surname is Qin and his name is Yue. When I was young, I was the director of a hostel. A guest named Chang Sangjun came to the guest house. Bian Que is the only one who thinks he is a strange man, and always pays homage to him. Chang Sangjun also knows that Bian Que is not an ordinary person. He has been coming and going for more than ten years. One day, he sat Bian Que with himself and whispered to Bian Que, "I have a secret recipe. I am old and want to pass it on to you. Don't let it out. " Bian Que said, "Well, yes." At this time, he took a medicine from his arms and handed it to Bian Que, saying, "Take this medicine with the dew on the plants, and you will know many things in thirty days." Then, he took out all the secret recipes and gave them to Bian Que. Suddenly, people disappeared. Maybe he's not human. Bian Que said that after taking the medicine for 30 days, he could see people on the other side of the wall. So when you look at someone else's illness, you can see all the symptoms of the internal organs, but on the surface, you are still taking the pulse for the patient. Sometimes I practice medicine in Qi, and sometimes I practice medicine in Zhao. In Zhao, his name is Bian Que.

During the reign of Zhao Gong, many doctors were very powerful, while the monarch was very weak. Zhao Jianzi is a doctor, but he is in charge of state affairs. Zhao Jianzi fell ill and was in a coma for five days. The doctors were very worried, so they called Bian Que. Bian Que went out after seeing the doctor, and the doctor Dong Anyu asked about Bian Que's illness. Bian Que said, "His blood is normal, so why are you surprised?" ! This once happened in Qin Mugong. I was in a coma for seven days before I woke up. On the day I woke up, I told Gong Sunzhi and Yu Zi:' I am very happy to be at the Heaven Emperor. I've been gone for so long, but God wants to teach me. The Emperor of Heaven told me that the State of Jin would be chaotic and the Five Dynasties would be unstable. After that, someone will become the overlord, and he will die soon. The son of the overlord will make men and women promiscuous in your country. Palace wrote down these words, collected them, and later recorded them in Qin History Book. You know the Jin Xiangong Rebellion, the overlord of Jin Wengong, and Duke Xiang of Jin's defeat of Qin Jun's lewdness behind the food mountain. Now your grandfather's illness is the same as his. He will be well in three days, and he will definitely say something when he is well. "

After two and a half days, Zhao Jianzi woke up and told the doctors: "I am very happy to go to the Emperor of Heaven and play with the gods in the sky. Various musical instruments there played a lot of music and danced various dances, unlike the music and dances of the three generations in ancient times." A bear tried to catch me. The emperor ordered me to shoot it, and the bear was killed. A cockroach came, I shot again, shot again, and died. The Emperor of Heaven was very happy and gave me two bamboo barnacles (temples and temples), both of which were filled with jewelry. I saw my son beside the emperor. He entrusted me with a dog, saying,' When your son grows up, give it to him. The Emperor of Heaven told me:' The State of Jin will decline from generation to generation and perish after seven generations. Qin people will defeat Zhou people to the west of Fan Kui, but they can't own his regime. ""Dong Anyu recorded and collected these words after hearing them. People told Zhao Jianzi what Bian Que said, and Zhao Jianzi gave Bian Que 40,000 mu of land.

Later, through Guo. Just as Prince Guo was dying, he came to the door of Guo's palace and asked a China monk who loved medical skills: "What happened to the Prince? Why does the country sacrifice more than many other things to eliminate disasters and diseases? " Zhong Shuzi said: "The prince's illness is that the blood gas runs irregularly, yin and yang are staggered, and it can't be discharged, and it erupts violently on the body surface, resulting in damage to the internal organs. The healthy qi of human body can't stop the evil, and the evil accumulates and can't be vented. So the yang pulse was relaxed and the yin pulse was urgent, and I suddenly fainted and died. " Bian Que asked, "When did he die?" Nakako replied: "From the cock crow to the present." Ask again: "Have you received it?" Answer: "No, he hasn't been dead for half a day." "Please tell me, I am from Bohai County, and my home is in Zheng, so I failed to see the king's body. I heard that the prince is dead, and I can bring him back to life. " The concubines said, "Sir, isn't this nonsense? How can the prince be resurrected? It is said that there was a doctor named Yu Yun in ancient times who didn't need decoction, medicated wine, needles, stone needles, guidance, massage, medicine ironing and other methods to treat diseases. As soon as he unbuttoned his clothes, he knew where the disease was, followed the acupoints of the five internal organs, then cut open the skin, cut open the muscles, dredge the meridians, tie the tendons and connect them, and treat the brain with ointment. If you can't do this, but you want him to be reborn, you can't deceive a child who just laughed. " After a long time, Bian Que looked up at the sky and said with a sigh, "The treatment you mentioned is like looking at the sky from a bamboo tube and the pattern from a crack. The treatment I use can tell where the cause is without taking the pulse, looking at my face, listening to the sound or observing the patient's posture. Knowing the external manifestations of diseases, we can infer the internal causes; Knowing the internal causes of the disease, we can infer the external manifestations. Diseases in the human body will be reflected from the body surface, so that patients thousands of miles away can also be diagnosed. I have many ways to decide, and I can't just look at the problem from one angle. If you think what I said is untrue and unreliable, try to go in and see the prince. You should hear his ears ringing, see his nose flapping, and touch his genitals along his legs. It should still be warm. "

After listening to Bian Que's words, the bastard's eyes widened and his tongue became warped. Later, he went in and told Guo Jun what Bian Que had said. Guo Jun was very surprised when he heard this. He walked out of the palace, met Bian Que at the middle gate of the palace, and said, "I have heard that you have noble character, but I can't see you in front of you. Sir, this time you passed through our small country. I hope you can help us. As the king of this remote country, I am very lucky. My son can be saved with Mr Wang. Without Mr., he will abandon his body in the wild, fill the ravine, and die forever without resurrection. " Before the words were finished, he was sad and choked up, his spirit was scattered and he shed tears for a long time. Tears rolled down his eyelashes, and his sadness could not be restrained, and his appearance and expression changed. Bian Que said, "Your prince's illness is what people call a corpse. That's because it is trapped in the yin pulse, and the pulse gas entangles and flushes the stomach, blocking the damaged meridians and injecting them into the lower jiao and bladder meridian respectively. Therefore, Yang pulse drops, Yin Qi rises, Yin and Yang Qi converge and block each other, which is not smooth. Yin Qi went against the trend, and Yang Qi had to go inward, but it was not promoted in vain. When it is blocked in the world, it cannot be issued by Yin Qi. There is a vein in the world that isolates Yang Qi, and a tendon that destroys Yin Qi, so that Yin Qi is destroyed and Yang Qi is isolated, which makes people look pale and their blood vessels are chaotic, so people will be as quiet as death. The prince is not really dead. Those who block dirty qi due to Yang entering into Yin can be cured, and those who block dirty qi due to Yin entering into Yang will die. All these situations will suddenly appear when the five internal organs are in syncope. A good doctor can cure the disease, and a poor doctor will make the patient dangerous because of confusion.

Bian Que asked his student Ziyang to sharpen the needle stone and take Baihui point for acupuncture. After a while, the prince woke up. Ask the students to prepare the medicine that can be put into the body for ironing, add the medicine with eight reduction formulas and mix them for decoction, and iron them alternately on both sides. The prince can sit up. To further reconcile yin and yang, you only need to take the decoction for 20 days, and your body will recover as before. Therefore, people all over the world think that Bian Que can come back to life. Bian Que said, "I can't bring the dead back to life. This is the life he should live. What I can do is to make him recover. "

When he arrived in Qi, Hou treated him as a guest. He went to the court to see Huan Hou and said, "There is a slight illness between your flesh and blood. If left untreated, it will go deep into your body. " Huan Hou said, "I'm not sick." After Bian Que walked out of the palace gate, Huan Hou said to the people around him: "Doctors love utility and want to say that people who are not sick are the merits of their own treatment." Five days later, Bian Que went to see Huan Hou again and said, "Your illness is already in your blood. If you don't treat it, I am afraid it will go deep into your body. " Huan Hou said, "I'm not sick." After Bian Que went out, Huan Hou was very unhappy. Five days later, Bian Que went to see Huan Hou again and said, "Your illness is already in the gastrointestinal tract. If left untreated, it will invade your body deeper. " Huan Hou refused to answer. After Bian Que went out, Huan Hou was very unhappy. Five days later, Bian Que went again. When he saw Huan Hou, he ran back. Huan Hou sent someone to ask him why he ran. Bian Que said: "The disease lies between skin and flesh, and the effect of decocting soup and ironing can achieve the purpose of treating diseases;" The disease is in the blood, and the purpose of treating the disease is achieved through the efficacy of acupuncture and bianshi; If the disease is in the stomach, the efficacy of medicinal liquor can achieve the purpose of treating the disease; When the disease enters the bone marrow, even the God in charge of life can do nothing. Now that the disease has entered the bone marrow, I no longer ask for treatment for him. Five days later, Huan Hou was seriously ill and sent for Bian Que. Bian Que has fled the State of Qi. Huan Hou died of illness.

If Huan Hou can know the undiscovered disease in advance and let a good doctor diagnose and treat it as soon as possible, then the disease can be cured and his life can be saved. People worry that there are too many diseases and doctors worry that there are too few treatments. Therefore, there are six kinds of diseases that cannot be cured: arrogance, indulgence and unreasonable troubles cannot be cured; Ignoring the body and attaching importance to money is the second therapy; Clothing and diet can not be properly adjusted, which are three incurable diseases; Yin-yang imbalance and abnormal function of five internal organs are four incurable diseases; If you are very weak (léi, Thunder) and can't take medicine, it is five incurable; Those who are superstitious about witchcraft and don't believe in medical skills are hopeless. There is such a situation, which is difficult to treat.

Bian Que's fame spread all over the world. When he arrived in Handan, he learned that local people respected women and became a doctor to treat gynecological diseases. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I heard that Zhou people loved the elderly, so I became a doctor specializing in deafness, dizziness and limb pain. When I arrived in Xianyang, I learned that Qin people loved children and became a doctor to treat children's diseases. He changed the scope of his treatment according to the customs in different places. Li Yi, a doctor of Qin State, knew that his medical skill was inferior to that of Bian Que, so he sent someone to assassinate Bian Que. Up to now, people who talk about pulse diagnosis all over the world have followed Bian Que's theory and practice.

Taicang is the highest official of granary management in the capital of Qi State. He is a native of Linzi (Z: Hezi), surnamed Chunyu and named Yi. Young but fond of medical skills. In the last eight years of the Han Dynasty (before 180), he studied medicine with Yang Qing, a public guest in Yuanli, the same county. At this point, Yang Qing is over seventy years old, and there is no descendant who can inherit medical skills. So Chunyu Kun put aside all the prescriptions he had learned before, and then gave him all the secret recipes he had mastered. He also taught him the pulse books of the Yellow Emperor and Bian Que, and observed the different colors on his face to diagnose his illness, so that he could know the patient's life and death in advance, decide difficult diseases and judge whether he could be treated. The medical theory was very incisive. After studying for three years, you can save lives and predict life and death before it can be fulfilled. But he made friends with princes everywhere, didn't take charge, and sometimes refused to treat others, so many patients held a grudge against him.

In the fourth year of Emperor Wendi (BC 176), someone wrote to the court to sue him, and according to the criminal law, he was escorted to Chang 'an by car. Chunyu Kun has five daughters, all of whom cry after her. He was angry and scolded: "With children but no boys, no one will be available at the critical moment!" " Ti Ying, the youngest daughter, was very sad after listening to her father's words, so she followed her father west to Chang 'an. She wrote to the court and said, "My father is an official of the court, and the people of Qi praised him for his honesty and justice. Now he is sentenced for breaking the law. I am sad that the executed person can't regenerate and the disabled can't recover. Even if he wanted to turn over a new leaf, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it in the end. I would rather not be a handmaiden in the government to atone for my sins and give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. " Emperor Wendi read Ti Ying's letter, sympathized with her, forgave Chunyu Kun, and abolished corporal punishment in this year.

Chunyuyi lived at home, and the emperor asked him how many people there were and what their names were.

The imperial edict asked the former Taicang Chunyuyi: "What are the specialties of medical skills and what diseases can you cure? Do you have any medical books? Who did you study medicine with? How many years have you studied? Who was cured? Where are they from? What's wrong with you What is the situation after treatment? Answer all in detail. " Chunyuyi replied:

"When I was young, I liked medical prescriptions, and most of the attempts to treat people with the medical prescriptions I learned were ineffective. In the last eight years of high school (before 180), I was able to meet my teacher in Linzi Yuanli, and I succeeded in Yang Qing. Yang Qing is over 70 years old now, so I can meet him and serve him. He said to me,' None of the medical books you studied are correct. I have the pulse diagnosis books of Huangdi and Bian Que taught by ancient ancestors, as well as the methods of diagnosing diseases by observing different facial colors, so that you can predict the life and death of patients, determine difficult diseases and determine whether they can be cured, and the books on pharmaceutical theory are all incisive. My family is rich, because I like you in my heart, and I want to teach you all my secret recipes and books. "I said,' I am so lucky, these are not what I dare to expect.' After that, I left the table and thanked the teacher again. I studied the pulse book, upper and lower meridians taught by him, and calculated the collection of books and medical skills from the aspects of face diagnosis, auscultation, yin and yang, pharmacology, stone-stone-stone-stone magic, sexual intercourse and so on. It took about a year to pay attention to the analysis experience when studying. The next year, I tried to treat people. Although effective, it is not accurate. I studied with him for three years, and the patients I treated and the people who made life and death decisions were all effective and reached a subtle level. Yang Qing has been dead for ten years. I studied with him for three years. Now I am thirty-nine years old. "

On one occasion, Cheng, the prime minister of Qi, said that he had a headache. After checking his pulse, I told him, "Your illness is very serious and you can't explain it at once." After coming out, I only told my younger brother Chang: "This is gangrene, which occurs between the stomach and the intestine. It will swell up in five days, then vomit and die in eight days. " Cheng's illness is caused by drinking and having sex. Cheng died as scheduled. I was able to diagnose his illness because I felt the pulse of my liver when I felt my pulse. The pulse is turbid and calm, which is a serious disease with no obvious appearance. Pulse theory says: "The pulse is long and straight as a bowstring, and cannot change with the seasons. This disease is mainly in the liver. Although the pulse is long and straight, it is even and harmonious. It is that the meridians of the liver are sick, and there is a powerful pulse that is sparse and dense, that is, the collaterals of the liver are sick. " The meridians of the liver are diseased and the pulse is even. His illness is due to tendons and marrow. The pulse is intermittent and dense, stopping and powerful. His illness is due to drunken sexual intercourse. I know that he will swell up after five days, and he will die after eight days because he found a pulse condition in Shaoyang Meridian when he felt the pulse. Pulse generation means that the meridian is sick, and when the disease develops to the whole body, people will die. Manifestation of collaterals. At this time, a modern pulse appeared in the left hand pass, which accumulated heat and pus in the body and could not come out. The fifth pass reached the boundary of Shaoyang Meridian, and died of pus eight days later, so the second pass gave birth to pus, which swelled at the boundary of Shaoyang Meridian, and then the sore broke and drained to death. At the beginning, internal heat fumigated Yangming meridians and burned the branches of collaterals. When collaterals get sick, they will stagnate and expand, and then they will be eroded and decomposed. So the interaction between collaterals is blocked. The heat pathogen invades the head, and the head is disturbed, so there is a headache.

The young boy, the second son of the King of Qi, was ill and asked me to feel the pulse. I told him: "This is a disease of diaphragm, which makes people feel bored, unable to eat, and often vomits gastric juice. This disease is due to inner depression and frequent anorexia. " I immediately prepared Xia Qi soup for him to drink. It's only been one day since the gas cooled down, and you can eat in two days, and it will be fine in three days. That's why I knew about his illness, because when I felt my pulse, I was diagnosed with the pulse of a heart disease, which was turbid and urgent. This is yang collateral disease. The pulse theory says: "The pulse is strong and fast, but the finger is difficult and different, and the disease is in the heart." The whole body is hot and the pulse is strong, which is called Chongyang. Chongyang will have a hot upward effect on the heart, so patients are bored and can't eat anything, and the collaterals will be sick. If the collaterals are sick, they will come out from above, and those who come out from above will definitely die. This is a disease caused by inner sadness, which is caused by depression.

Xun, the doctor of Qi State, is ill. Many doctors think that it is syncope from the bottom up, retrograde into the abdomen and chest, and treated with acupuncture. After consultation, I said, "This is a hernia, which makes people unable to urinate." Xun replied, "I can't pee for three days." I gave him fire extinguishing agent soup. One dose will relieve itself. After the second dose, he can relieve himself very smoothly. After the third dose, he will recover. His illness was caused by sexual intercourse. So I can know his condition, because when I feel his pulse, the pulse condition in his right hand is urgent. The pulse condition does not reflect the disease of the five internal organs, but the pulse condition in his right hand is strong and fast. Pulse counting is a surge of heat and toxin in the lower energizer, pulse counting in the left hand is a downward discharge of heat and toxin, pulse counting in the right hand is an upward discharge of heat and toxin, and the five internal organs are unresponsive, so it is called "hernia". Heat accumulated in the middle coke makes the urine reddish.

On one occasion, Tai Shouxin was ill. I went to his house for diagnosis and treatment, took my pulse and told him, "It's a fever pulse, but it's hot sweat. It's a little weak and won't die." He added: "I got this disease because I bathed in running water when it was cold, and my body became hot after bathing." He said, "Well, that's it! Last winter, I went to Yangzhou and Juxian (J incarnation, Juxian) to see the King of Qi. I saw that the giant bridge was badly damaged, so I grabbed the shaft and didn't want to cross the river. The horse was suddenly frightened and fell into the river, and my body almost drowned. My entourage came to save me at once. When I came out of the water, my clothes were all wet and my body was cold for a while. I immediately prepared a bowl of liquid soup for him to drive away heat evil. After taking a dose, he stopped sweating. After taking two doses, the fever went down, and after taking three doses, the illness stopped. Let him take the medicine for about 20 days, and his body looks like a person who is not sick. I know his illness because when I feel his pulse, I find that his pulse belongs to the "Heyin pulse" in which heat and toxin merge in the body. Pulse theory says: "internal heat and external heat are mixed and mixed to death." "When I cut his pulse, I didn't find any internal heat and external heat mixed together, all of which were combined with the yin pulse. The yin pulse and slippery pulse can be cured by clearing away the heat evil, but they can still be cured and saved lives. I know that his kidney qi is sometimes heavy and turbid, and I can vaguely cut this situation at the mouth of Taiyin Cunkou, which is water vapor. The kidney is in charge of the operation of water and fluid, from which we know his illness. If left untreated for a period of time, it will become a cold and hot disease.

Empress Qi was ill and told me to feel the pulse. I said, "It is wind-heat that causes bladder trouble, poor urination and reddish urine." I gave her fire extinguishing agent soup. After an injection, she can urinate. After taking two doses, her illness subsided and her urine color was the same as before. This is a disease caused by urination when sweating. I got sick because I undressed and sweated. I know that Empress Qi is ill because when I feel her pulse, I find that the mouth of the moon is wet, which is the pulse of the wind. The pulse theory says: "The pulse is big and strong when it is strongly cut, and big and tight when it is lightly cut, indicating that the kidney is sick." But I felt the pulse of my kidney. On the contrary, my pulse is thick and uneasy. Thick pulse indicates bladder disease; Restless pulse indicates heat in the middle energizer and red urine.
