Next, let's look at the powerful ethnic doctor "Dr. Zhuang" from the perspective of national culture!
In production activities, Zhuang people identify hundreds of drugs by collecting food and make simple medical tools. With the development of social economy, politics and culture in Zhuang area, Zhuang medicine has gradually formed its own characteristics and developed.
The Formation and Development of Zhuang Medicine
The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic on Su Jing and Wen Yi says: "Southerners, the heavens and the earth are long, the sun is flourishing, and the fog is gathering. He is addicted to acid and food, so he is all red and red, and his illness is cramp and joint pain, so he should be treated with micro-acupuncture. Therefore, those who have nine needles will also come from the south. " This is a direct record of the source of acupuncture therapy in the classic works of Chinese medicine of Han nationality. It is true that the "south" here does not necessarily refer to the Zhuang area, but it should include the Zhuang area. Textual research on the existing pottery needle in Zhuang Medicine shows that its needle type is the most similar to that of the first nine needles in Neijing, and the two are the most similar to each other. "Nine needles" has always been a metal medical tool. According to the law of the development of human history, there was a splendid pottery culture between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, and the pottery needle was considered as the product of the pottery age.
The ancestors of Zhuang nationality initiated acupuncture therapy.
1985 10, archaeologists unearthed two bronze shallow needles in the ancient tomb of the late Western Zhou Dynasty in Matou Township, Wuming County, Guangxi. It is considered to be two kinds of medical needles for shallow needling. Its front end is fine, which accords with the description of "micro-needle" by the ancients. Guangxi "micro-needle" is the only "micro-needle" reported in China so far. It provides a reliable material basis for studying the history of Zhuang medicine. Facts have proved that the ancestors of Zhuang nationality were one of the earliest nationalities who initiated acupuncture therapy.
The first real anatomical map of human body in China medical history.
During the Qing Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty, a peasant uprising of Zhuang nationality took place in Yizhou, Guangxi. The ruler set a trap, captured and killed the rebel leaders such as Xifan District and Meng Gan, and ordered Wu Jian, an official of Yizhou, and some doctors to dissect the bodies and draw a map of the five internal organs of Xifan District. This is the first recorded anatomical map of human body in the medical history of China. In the process of dissection, I also made some observations from the medical point of view: for example, "if you are dry, your lungs and gallbladder will be black;" There are fewer eye diseases and liver leukoplakia in this area. This anatomical event has a certain position in the medical history of China. It happened in Zhuang area.
It is reported that Zhuang medicine is similar to traditional Chinese medicine, and the main difference lies in regional and national characteristics. Medicinal materials are collected from the local mountains, and the main treatment methods are Zhuang's eye diagnosis, medicinal thread moxibustion, medicinal bamboo cupping and so on. There is almost no written record, and it is all passed on by word of mouth. Zhuang medicine has a broad development prospect in Southeast Asia. Especially in the Dragon Boat Festival medicine market every year, a large number of Vietnamese border people come here to seek medical advice, trade medicinal materials and learn Chinese medicine ... The Dragon Boat Festival medicine market will become an important platform for promoting Zhuang culture and opening up foreign Chinese herbal medicine markets.
