Huang Yuanyu (1705-1758), a native of Huangjiaxinge Village, Changyi City, was a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty. Real name, word jade, word Kun Zi, name Yan Nong, alias Yu Yazi. Representatives of the Confucian School; Emperor Qianlong's physician praised his knowledge by writing Wu Miao Huang Qi and his life by writing Ren He Yao. He inherited and developed the profound theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations of doctors. Known as "Huang" and "a great master", he is the originator of Jiuzhentang in Sichuan Military Medical Museum of Qing Army.

representative works

Thirteen works by Huang Yuanyu, the source of four sages, and the hanging image of Zhouyi.

Huang Yuanyu started his medical career with Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, followed by the basic classics of traditional Chinese medicine such as Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, Huangdi Neijing, Zeebe Neijing and Bian Que Neijing. He named Zhong Jing and others as "four saints of medicine". He believes that in addition to the "four saints", many famous doctors in the past dynasties have biased opinions and even misdiagnosed the dead. The fundamental reason is that the books of the "Four Saints" are wrong, simple and messy, which is also caused by the fallacies of past dynasties. Therefore, I made a vow to spend my whole life, from the source to the flow, to re-examine and revise the book "Four Saints" and restore its true colors for future generations to follow suit.

Typhoid pause

In the second year of Qianlong (1737), Huang Yuanyu began to brew a book "Exogenous Febrile Diseases" and began to write "Su Ling Wei Yun", which was completed in September of the fifth year of Qianlong (1740), with four volumes and 26 articles. In this book, Huang Yuanyu first put forward the diagnostic theory of "cultivating middle qi, supporting yang and suppressing yin". He made an image metaphor for Zhongqi: "Essence is China's benevolence, and Qi is China's business. Benevolence is rustic, business is bud, bud is born and benevolence is rotten, so essence can't be born, so people born are also qi in essence. " Based on this, he always carried out the principles of attaching importance to spleen and soil, supporting yang and restraining yin, and cultivating middle qi, which was his further development of TCM theory.
