As early as 980- 1567, China medical scientists invented the method of human pox inoculation, which infected people who had never suffered from smallpox with the pox pulp and scab in the pox blister of smallpox patients or the clothes stained with the pox pulp and pox worn by smallpox patients.
2. set up an isolation clinic to stop the spread of the disease?
Ancient physicians in China recognized the infectivity of some diseases long ago and found it necessary to isolate the infected patients.
3. Establish epidemic prevention management and border quarantine?
An important link in controlling plague is to establish a perfect national epidemic prevention management system, establish a border quarantine system and control international spread. At that time, Dr. China had realized that the acute infection of smallpox was the source of infection and established a complete smallpox quarantine system. 1688, Russia was the first to send a doctor to Peiping to study vaccination and vaccination methods: "In Kangxi, Russian doctors who sent people to China to study vaccination were transferred from Sanat Yamen to Huilian Yamen, where they left school." Vaccination in China has also spread to Japan, North Korea, India and other neighboring countries, and through international exchanges, we will jointly prevent and control infectious diseases. ?
Pay attention to food hygiene and keep yourself clean?
Poor food hygiene and personal hygiene are easy to be infected with plague, which is the experience gained by the ancients in practice. Many areas in China still maintain the preventive health care habits handed down from now on, such as Shanghainese's winter tonic, Cantonese's Chinese medicine soup, and drinking calamus and realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival in the south, many of which are related to the prevention of plague. ?
5. Improve environmental conditions and preventive disinfection drugs?
Reducing the spread of plague by improving environmental sanitation has been paid considerable attention for a long time.
6. popularize medical knowledge and strengthen educational books and periodicals?
Popularizing disease knowledge and strengthening medical education are important links to prevent plague. Zong Yi Jinjian, an encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine, recorded detailed theories and methods of human pox inoculation, which played an important role in preventing human pox from spreading smallpox. ?
7. bury the dead properly and help raise orphans?
Every major plague epidemic in history will take the lives of countless people, leading to the separation of their wives and children, the destruction of their families, and the tragic situation of "every family is depressed and the ghosts cry and the wolves howl". Due to the infectivity of plague, corpses that have not been properly placed will further spread diseases and endanger family members and the environment. The government provides two months' rations relief, and the list of orphans should be reported to the government. These measures and practices not only implement humanity and protect lives, but also play a role in stabilizing people's hearts and society. ?
As mentioned above, China has adopted various methods to comprehensively control plague. Thousands of years of epidemic prevention practice have proved that these ancient methods are effective. Even in modern society with highly developed science and information technology, the methods used to prevent modern plague are still similar. The recent prevention of SARS has clearly proved this point again. It should be noted that in the past century, with the continuous progress of social civilization and the development of science, there are more and more ways for human beings to deal with the plague, and the means are gradually improved. Therefore, the incidence and mortality of infectious diseases have obviously decreased, and the quality and life span of human beings have obviously improved. Now human beings can proudly say that in the struggle against diseases, human beings have really achieved "the height of the Tao is one foot." However, it cannot be forgotten that the plague has never stopped attacking human beings. From time to time, the plague will be countered by drivers, and from time to time, there will be a scene of "the magic is one foot high". Human beings are destined to coexist with diseases for a long time.
