Doctors in ancient China obviously didn't have such profound medical knowledge. Even if there is a similar record, it can only record the appearance and cannot go deep into the essence.
For example, some people think that the word "cancer" may come from "ho" (like "rock"). The so-called wow, like the shape of a mountain peak, is as solid as a rock. When businessmen describe a woman's chest as a tumor, they call it "as high as the top and as rotten as a valley."
In addition, there is the book Ren Zhai Zhi Fang Yi Lun written by Yang Shiying, a medical scientist in the Southern Song Dynasty, on 1264, which also describes cancer: high and deep, cave-shaped, and deep poisonous roots.
This sentence is obviously describing the shape of the tumor, and he doesn't know why it is so toxic.
In short, the name of cancer in ancient times was ho, but this word mainly refers to the external manifestations of tumors, not the real cause.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Huangdi Neijing recorded tumors in a classified way, and put forward the names of some tumor diseases, such as intestinal mushroom, stone abscess, stagnation and diaphragmatic stagnation. And the symptoms of these diseases are systematically described. Such as Lingshu said: "Stone abscess is born in the uterus, ... the day is like a pregnant child, and the month is born in a woman." These descriptions are very similar to today's abdominal tumors and gynecological tumors. At the same time, Fifty-five Difficult Classics discusses the difference between "accumulation" and "accumulation", and puts forward the disease name, symptoms and pathology of five zang-organs accumulation. Its cloud says: "The accumulation of qi refers to the gathering, and the gathering of qi refers to the gathering, so the gathering of qi comes from the five internal organs and the gathering of six internal organs." Thus, "accumulation" is fixed, while "gathering" is active. In difficult classics, the accumulation of contentment is called storing grain, the accumulation of liver is called fat qi, the accumulation of spleen is called mass qi, the accumulation of lung is called resting capital, and the accumulation of kidney is called running dolphin.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo initiated the surgical treatment of "toxic accumulation" (including tumor diseases) in the body under anesthesia, and pointed out in "On carbuncle, sore and swelling in the Chinese-Tibetan Classics": "What the husband did was that the five internal organs kept toxic substances from flowing, not just Wei Rong's blood stasis." It is believed that the occurrence of tumor is not only caused by camp block, but also by the accumulation of poison in viscera.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber also contained many similar diagnosis and treatment of tumor diseases, and recorded a large number of clinically effective prescriptions, such as Biejiajian Pill, Dahuangchong Pill, Didang Pill, Didang Decoction, Maimendong Decoction, Fu Xuandai Zhetang, and Nitrate Fan Shi Powder.
Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty said in "Elbow Emergency Prescription: the Twenty-sixth Party of Self-confidence in Death": "From the beginning, it is gradually born. I feel dead in prison, and it is difficult to treat myself. There are nodules in the abdomen, which will harm the diet and become thinner. " It is recognized that tumors have a certain development process, and they are often in the late stage when they are discovered, forming cachexia and poor prognosis. Huangfu Mi, an acupuncturist in the Jin Dynasty, applied acupuncture to treat tumor diseases for the first time in The Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B, and the second book, Meridians Affected by the Accumulation of Gastrointestinal Five Organs of Patients, included: "Vomiting blood at rest, treating it with great deficiency; Abdominal product, lifting, hanging pivot; ..... with a strong heart, he is the master of Yu, Qimen and Zhongwan; ..... Abdominal pain, mainly Shang Qu; ..................... ............................................................................................................................................................ .
The Etiology written by Chao in Sui Dynasty described the etiology, pathology and clinical manifestations of tumor diseases in detail, and recorded many tumor diseases and their symptoms in different categories, such as "five diaphragm", "five choking", "stone carbuncle", "anti-flower sore", "breast carbuncle" and "stone carbuncle". In Qian Jin Fang Yao, Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty divided tumors into gall, osteoma, lipoma, sarcoma, pyoma and hematoma, and included more than 50 special prescriptions for tumors for the first time, highlighting the use of insect drugs, toxic drama drugs, drugs for attacking phlegm and removing blood stasis, and applying moxibustion to treat calluses.
The "cancer" described in Ren Zhai Zhi Zhi Yu Fang Lun in Song Dynasty is indeed a malignant tumor: "The cancer patient is in the late stage, showing a rock point shape and deep poison roots." Chen Wuxuan mentioned that "those who are hard and immobile are called cholelithiasis" in "Three Causes of Four Limbs and All Diseases", "There are six kinds of tumors: osteoma, lipoma, pneumatosis, sarcoma, pyoma and hematoma, which cannot fester". Yang Shiying's Ren Zhai Lun pointed to the attached prescription: "Cancer patients, ... who appear to be in a coma, must be treated with castor beans and other drugs urgently to make them more toxic, such as frankincense ointment and divine ointment." It can be seen that the oncology of traditional Chinese medicine in Song Dynasty has made great progress in disease name, classification, treatment, prescription and medicine, and has shown signs of school.
During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the formation of four academic schools promoted the progress of oncology. Li Dongyuan's self-made prescriptions include Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, Guang Mao Kuijian Decoction, Sanchong Kuijian Decoction, Forsythia Sanjian Decoction and Jiuku Huajian Decoction, which are commonly used in clinical treatment of tumors. However, Zhu Danxi advocated resolving phlegm and treating caking, and created many prescriptions to attack phlegm, including clearing heat and resolving phlegm, softening hard mass and resolving phlegm, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm, invigorating spleen and resolving phlegm, etc. He thinks that caking is caused by phlegm, food retention and blood stasis, and cooking seaweed with vinegar, Rhizoma Sparganii, Rhizoma Curcumae, peach kernel, safflower, Oletum Trogopterori, Rhizoma Cyperi and concha arcae can eliminate caking. Zhang suggested using dry paint, sal ammoniac, sparganium, rhubarb and morning glory.
Zhang Jingyue in Ming Dynasty pointed out that there are only four ways to control accumulation: attack, elimination, dispersion and compensation. The key to the accumulation of treatment is to know the appropriate attack and supplement, and to distinguish between what is slow and what is urgent. Any hard product must be outside the stomach, between the original organs, which is beyond the medical power. It is advisable to attack it with Ferula Ferulae ointment, Amber ointment, or Safflower ointment and Sansheng ointment. Then attack it with a dragon and a sangjun needle. This method of oral administration and external application combined with acupuncture ointment is in line with the special situation of tumor treatment.
The names of tumor diseases in Qing Dynasty included diaphragmatic obstruction, nausea, lung flaccidity, Ru Yan, kidney stone flowering and so on. The etiology, pathology, syndrome differentiation and treatment, prescription and medication, and prognosis of tumors have been further developed.
Welcome to open the historical treasure.
Cancer is a great threat to human health today.
It was not until the publication of Ci Yuan in the Republic of China that there was a record of "cancer" and it was explained that the word represented malignant tumor.
There is no denying that cancer is definitely not a disease exclusive to modern people. The ancients must have been troubled by cancer, but there was no such thing as cancer at that time.
This cave-like and tumor-like "drooping" appearance can be judged as a tumor in the body, and the toxic root is deep, indicating that cancer cells are stubborn and difficult to cure completely.
The English name of Cancer is cancer, which comes from the Greek word cancrum, meaning crab. It comes from the shape of cancer cells, like a crab with claws, which is terrible.
The above is a little history about cancer. I wish you all health and happiness and stay away from diseases. As early as 3,500 years ago, during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties in China, the name of "cancer" was recorded in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins. The word "cancer" is composed of "qi" and "rock", which is the earliest document for recording tumors in traditional Chinese medicine. The word "cancer" is a word "wow" without the prefix of the patient, which is another way to write the word "rock" in rock.
Why did the ancient man-made word "cancer" use the word "wow"? We can find the best answer from Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions's records, the ancients found tumors in women, which were "high on the top and rotten on the bottom".
Cancer has been recorded in ancient medical books. During the Northern Song Dynasty (1 170), a layman wrote Wei Ji Bao: "There are five kinds of carbuncle, one is cancer ...".
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Shiying recorded the symptoms of cancer in the book "On Renzhai's Direct Appendices", Volume 22 "Cancer": "The patients with cancer form acupuncture points, which are tired and drooping, chapped like eyes, among which, the head is blue, the tongue is exposed, the poison root is deep, and the acupuncture points are penetrating. Men are mostly in the abdomen and women are mostly in the breasts. " 」
The word "cancer" comes from rock, which is a kind of rock, and the word "rock" is a common word in ancient times. Cancer has the same original meaning and pronunciation as rock and roll. Traditional Chinese medicine often takes the original word "rock" as the name of the disease, which refers to a rock-like tumor with hard texture and uneven surface, and is named after its image, such as milk.
In Putonghua, according to the rules of word formation, the word "cancer" should be pronounced as yán, but since the 1950s, the word "cancer" has been frequently pronounced as y ái in life. This is to avoid confusion with inflammation in spoken language and change pronunciation. The Chinese word "cancer" in Taiwan Province Province of China is still pronounced as "yán".
Numerous ancient Chinese medicine books have recorded the clinical manifestations, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, prognosis and prevention of some cancers, which still have important reference value.
For example, "Yu Suwen Ji Zhen Dirty" said: "The bones are dry, the meat is sunken, the chest is full of gas, the breathing is inconvenient, the internal pain leads to shoulder pain, the body is hot and the meat is broken, it is really dirty, and it will die within October." Symptoms are similar to the late clinical manifestations of lung cancer, and the prognosis is clearly pointed out.
When there was a record of "cancer" in Chinese medicine, there was not even the word "cancer" in English, and there was no western medicine, and there was no "cancer" in western medicine.
More than 300 years ago, the discipline of modern western medicine, referred to as "western medicine" for short, was born on the basis of human anatomy, completely cut out from ancient western medicine and became a new single discipline.
/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, western medicine entered China, and when the western medicine term cancer was translated into Chinese, it directly "appropriated" the Chinese medicine term "cancer".
Judging from its birth time and origin, the western medicine term "cancer" is not qualified to be the grandson of the Chinese medicine term "cancer".
In fact, many terms in China's works on western medicine directly "appropriated" TCM terms when they were translated from English into Chinese.
The most commonly used weapon to attack Chinese medicine is also the most ridiculous accusation. The terminology of zang-fu organs in Chinese medicine does not conform to the terminology of organs with the same name in Western medicine. For example, the lung in the viscera of traditional Chinese medicine does not conform to the lung in the viscera of western medicine. ......
The same is true of the cancer in this problem.
Western medicine entered China 100 years ago, and most western medicine terms were translated from English into Chinese. The translated names of English organs are similar to those of viscera in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, according to the universal translation norms, dragon is transliterated or translated freely, so the transliteration of dragon should be "rotten", "ren", "ling" or "". ......
The translation of lung into the term "lung" of zang-fu organs in traditional Chinese medicine is simply a polysemous word: homophones. The word "lung" is a name of zang-fu organs in TCM theory, which refers to the functional system of lung. It is invisible, but it can be deduced and confirmed. In the western medicine system, it is an organ name, which refers to the lung, and it is a visible objective substance. It is the improper translation of the beginning of English Lung that causes the polysemy of the word "lung" and artificially confuses Chinese and western medical terms-whose fault is it? Chinese medicine is not a person who carries the pot, and the pot that "Chinese medicine does not conform to western medicine" is not carried by Chinese medicine.
However, to be a man, you still have to speak first. The term zang-fu organs in TCM has been used for thousands of years. How can it conform to the term organ that has been used by western medicine for only a hundred years, and also steal the term of Chinese medicine? Grandson doesn't look like grandpa. Why does grandpa look like a grandson? !
Western medicine is a veritable "doctor who can't see the disease without power." Treating cancer with western medicine is a complete joke. What can I do except cheat on medical expenses? Every year, millions of cancer patients blindly believe that western medicine is overused, and the death toll reaches one million. If it can't be saved, say it's late. I have never heard that western medicine cured cancer. Jobs tested the ability of western medicine with expensive medical expenses, and the effect was obviously not satisfactory. Jobs and Li Yong can live for 5- 10 years if they are treated conservatively with traditional Chinese medicine. On the road of treating cancer, western medicine needs to learn from the medical theory of treating both the symptoms and the root causes of Chinese medicine. Western medicine has a good effect on colds and beriberi. [people who eat melons].
Westerners invented "cancer". They can't cure it. They just turned patients into their ATMs. They succeeded, but they created countless families with money and people.
The ancients called cancer carbuncle. Such as lung carbuncle, intestinal carbuncle, stomach carbuncle, neck carbuncle and back carbuncle. ...
There is no word "cancer" in ancient western medicine, so what are all kinds of cancers called?
We all know that the word cancer only appeared in modern times. It was after the invention of the microscope that people could see very fine structures, and cancer was born.
In fact, the earliest recorded cancer in China was in Huangdi Neijing. At that time, it was not called "cancer" but "tumor", which was described as muscular tumor, intestinal tumor, previous tumor and so on. There are also books that are not called "cancer" or "tumor" but "degeneration". For example, Zhou Li Tianguan recorded the treatment methods of "eight corporal, palm swelling, retreat, golden retreat, retreat" in the Zhou Dynasty, in which retreat refers to tumor or cancer.
In the books of traditional Chinese medicine, the earliest "cancer" appeared in Wei Ji Bao Shu and Ren Zhai Zhi Fang Yi Lun, and it was described as follows: cancer patients are high and deep, like holes, tired and drooping. ...
Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese medicine has deepened its understanding of cancer and described it more and more. For example, "choking diaphragm" refers to esophageal cancer and cardiac cancer; "Nausea" includes gastric cancer, and "gangrene" should refer to lymphoma.
Later, there were many descriptions of more cancers. For example, abdominal tumors were called "fake diseases" in the Song Dynasty, "cocoon lips" in the Ming Dynasty, and tumors were called "great shame" in the Collection of Traumatology Experiences in the Qing Dynasty.
As can be seen from the above discussion, the ancients actually knew something about cancer, but the incidence of cancer in ancient times may be very low, and there is no good way to understand and treat it.
Finally: In ancient times, people called cancer "tumor" and "sadness", and the word cancer really appeared after the invention of the microscope. The above is my answer to this question. If I think what I wrote can be praised ... Sarcoma (lymphoma), mastoid (breast cancer), gallstone (thyroid cancer), tongue fungus (tongue cancer), lymph node tuberculosis (lymphoma), abscess (rectal cancer), heartburn (heartburn).
