Foreword: The epidemic is merciless. novel coronavirus has swept across the country, affecting the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. The national fight against the epidemic has reached the most critical moment, and victory is coming soon. In today's society, with the extremely advanced level of scientific and medical care, the virus is also menacing. Then, in ancient China, how to prevent and control infectious diseases and plagues? You know, the level of medical science and technology in ancient China was relatively low, but the ancient people in China used their intelligence to win the fight against the epidemic again and again!

In ancient China, there were wars, man-made disasters and natural disasters. Every time after the war, corpses were everywhere, and pestilence broke out, which brought great casualties to the ancient people. The question is, how to prevent and control the outbreak of large-scale plague in ancient times? Here from the court and the individual two aspects! From the court's point of view:

1. Send a Commissioner to lead a team to the epidemic area

No matter which dynasty, in case of a major epidemic, the court will assign relevant officials at the first time to lead the imperial doctors and medical and aid materials to the epidemic area for prevention and control. (Eastern Han Dynasty) In the first year of Yuanjia (AD 151), in the first month of spring, the capital was ill and epidemic, which made Dr. Guanglu put the medicine on record. Guiyou, Amnesty, gaiyuan Yuanjia. In February, Jiujiang and Lujiang were devastated. In the Sino-Japanese War, Hejian Wang (Liu) built a raft. ? The capital is dry. Rencheng and Liang are hungry, and people eat each other. 〗? Fan Ye's "Were"? Biography of Liu Zhi, Emperor of Xiao Huan

(Jianning, Eastern Han Dynasty) In the first month of spring in the third year (AD 17), women in Hanoi ate their husbands, while men in Henan ate their wives. ? (Guanghe, Eastern Han Dynasty) In the spring of the second year (A.D. 179), there was a great epidemic, which made the constant attendants and middle worshippers tour to give medicine. ? (Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty) In the second year (AD 185), in the first month of spring, there was a great epidemic. ? Fan Ye's "Were"?

It can be seen from the biographies of Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Filial Piety, that as the imperial court, it will specially send history to deal with the hardest-hit areas of the epidemic, and carry out prevention, rescue and medicine treatment.

Second, implement regional isolation for the hardest hit areas

In popular terms, in view of the epidemic and plague hardest hit areas, considering the spread of infection and other reasons, an isolation area will be opened, which is similar to plague village, all patients will be concentrated in one area for management, and special personnel will be assigned to find the source of infection, make centralized diagnosis and treatment, isolate patients, and spread lime powder for large-scale disinfection, and the military will supervise and prevent patients from escaping at the periphery to cut off the transmission route. It can effectively control the spread of the plague, so that the epidemic situation can be controlled to the maximum extent. It is necessary to know that in the case of lack of medical care and medicine in ancient times, this centralized isolation may be the best way to control and prevent the plague. From the aspect of the prevention and treatment of the people themselves:

In ancient times, a major plague epidemic occurred, and it was not enough to rely solely on the rescue of the imperial court. Since the dynasties, many famous folk doctors have independently joined in the rescue and treatment of the epidemic, such as Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Tianshi in the Qing Dynasty and Wu Tang in the late Qing Dynasty, who have made great contributions to the treatment of the plague. They independently developed drugs and taught the people how to prevent and disinfect them.

conclusion: the plague is merciless. Since ancient times, our great Chinese nation and ancient working people have relied on their intelligence and wisdom to survive any difficulties. We are a united nation, even though novel coronavirus is now menacing, but I believe that with the concerted efforts of the people of the whole country, the people's army and angels in white, we will definitely win this battle without smoke!
