1. Translation of the full text of the ancient medical text "The Biography of Qian Zhongyang" Qian Yi, courtesy name Zhongyang, his distant ancestor was from Qiantang and had a kinship relationship with Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

In the third year of the Taiping and Xingguo reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Jiangnan was pacified, and the thirteen states controlled by Qian Chuxian, the grandson of Qian Liu and the fifth king of the Wuyue Kingdom, returned to the Song Dynasty.

Qian Yi's great-grandfather Qian Yun followed Qian Chu back to the Song Dynasty and moved north, so he settled in Yuncheng County.

Qian Yi's father, Qian Hao, was good at acupuncture. However, he was fond of drinking and traveling far away.

Suddenly one day he disappeared anonymously, marched eastward to the sea, and never returned.

Qian Yi was only three years old at the time. His mother died before his father traveled to the East. His father's sister married a doctor named Lu. Qian Yi's aunt took pity on his loneliness and adopted Qian Yi as her adopted son.

As Qian Yi grew up, he began to study and learn medical skills from Lu Jun.

When his aunt was about to die, she told Qian Yi about his family background.

Qian Yi howled and cried and asked to find his father. He went back and forth five or six times a day to find his father's whereabouts.

It took several more years before he went to greet his father and let him go home.

Qian Yi was already in his thirties at this time.

The villagers were amazed and shed tears with emotion. Many people wrote poems praising Qian Yi for finding his wife and welcoming his father.

Seven years later, his father died at the end of his life, and Qian Yi handled the funeral arrangements according to etiquette.

Qian Yi served his adoptive father Lu Jun as he served his biological father.

When his adoptive father Lu Jun died without any heirs, Qian Yi buried him in mourning, arranged the marriage for Lu Jun's orphaned daughter, and paid homage to Lu Jun every year according to the season, just like he did to his own parents.

Qian Yi was first famous in Shandong for his pediatrics.

During the Yuanfeng period of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the daughter of the emperor's sister was sick, so she summoned Qian Yi to diagnose and treat her, which was very effective. The eldest princess reported to Shenzong and granted Qian Yi the official position of Hanlin Medicine, and gave him a special case of bright red silk.

Sixth grade official uniform.

In the second year, the ninth son of Emperor Shenzong, Duke Zhao of Yiguo, suffered from spasticity in his hands and feet, which Chinese medicine could not cure.

When the eldest princess came to the court to see Shenzong, she reported that Qian Yi was from the common people and had strange medical skills, so she immediately summoned Qian Yi to the palace.

Qian Yi gave Prince Zhao loess soup and recovered.

Emperor Shenzong summoned Qian Yi, praised Qian Yi's medical skills and informed everyone, and also asked him about the reasons and circumstances of using loess soup to cure diseases.

Qian Yi replied: "Fitness disease (spasm of hands and feet) is mostly caused by wind evil. Because liver wood (wind) invades the spleen, people suffer from fistula, so the treatment must calm liver wood (wind). The main function of Huangtu Decoction is

It is to warm the yang and strengthen the spleen. The spleen belongs to the earth. If the spleen earth is strong, the kidney water can be controlled. If the kidney water is controlled, the power of the water-generated wood will be weakened, so the liver wood will calm down and the wind evil will be on its own. Moreover, I have been close to being cured by the treatment of several doctors in the past.

It's time for the prince to recover." The emperor was very satisfied with his answer and promoted him to the position of imperial physician and gave him a purple official uniform and a gold fish charm to wear.

From then on, relatives of the emperor, aristocratic families, as well as lower-level officials and ordinary people all wanted to invite Qian Yi to treat diseases, so Qian Yi had no free time.

When Qian Yi talked about medicine, none of the accomplished and famous doctors could stand up for themselves and question Qian Yi.

Soon, Qian Yi resigned from his post because of illness.

When Emperor Zhezong arrived, he also ordered Qian Yi to take turns serving him in the palace.

After a long time, Qian Yi asked to be dismissed due to illness. The emperor allowed him to take his seal and ribbon home for treatment, so he stopped serving as an official.

Qian Yi was originally thin and sick, with a frank and informal personality. He was fond of drinking and suffered from frequent illnesses. Qian Yi treated him according to his own ideas and was cured.

Qian Yi fell ill for the last time. His whole body felt heavy and sleepy, so he said sadly: "This is the so-called Zhoubi disease. If Zhoubi enters the five internal organs, I will die. I'm afraid I won't survive!" After a while,

He also said: "I can make this disease transfer to the limbs." So he prepared his own prescription and took it day and night. No one had seen his prescription.

Soon after, his left hand and foot became contracted and unable to move, so he said happily: "Okay!" He also asked his close people to climb up Dongshan to inspect the place where dodder grows, and hold a torch to shine under the branches and leaves of dodder.

He dug out the place where the torch was out and found Poria cocos, which was as big as a bucket. So he took it according to the law and finished it in a month.

From then on, although Qian Yi was paralyzed, his strength and bones were strong, just like a person without illness.

After resigning, he lived in seclusion in a house in the countryside. He didn't leave the house, didn't wear a hat or shoes, and sat on a bed. He read history books and miscellaneous stories from time to time. When guests came, he drank and talked freely.

If he wanted to visit somewhere outside, he would have two servants carry him on a carriage and go in and out of the streets and alleys. If someone from the neighborhood invited him to be a guest, he would not go.

Sick people come to seek treatment every day. There are old and weak patients who come with support, and children who are wrapped in swaddling clothes and carried on their backs, constantly crowding the door.

Some of these patients were from the neighborhood, some were from far away, and some were from hundreds of miles away. Qian Yi all gave them medicine, and the patients left with deep gratitude.

At first, the eldest princess's daughter was suffering from diarrhea and dysentery and was on the verge of crisis.
