Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

[The "Essence of Plague" video ended. Xiaoxiao saw that the recommended video below was "China's Thousand-Year War with Plague" and clicked on it directly. 】

Everyone under the canopy: I’m very happy, but can you please click on some of those "Epic China", "Thousand Years of Chinese Medicine", "Chronology of Literary History"...

["The traceable history of plague in China is about 3500 years. From the Spring and Autumn Period in 770 BC to the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 AD, a total of 2681 years."

With a black background and large text, the history of the plague is told in just a few sentences. ]

In Kangxi's court, everyone trembled, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. These four words "the end of the Qing Dynasty" shocked everyone.

Even if they knew that there would be no eternal dynasty in the world, they never expected to suddenly hear the news that the Qing Dynasty was gone.

Kangxi's hand shook, and he immediately pulled out the Spring and Autumn Period from his mind and started counting.

["The plague year recorded in historical records is 669, and the average frequency of disasters is 25%, which is about once every four years."

"Shuowen Jiezi": Epidemic is also a folk disease.

"Suwen · Yi Pian · Acupuncture Theory": All are susceptible to infection, regardless of size, and the symptoms are similar.

"History of the Ming Dynasty": Father and son cannibalize each other, abandon each other's flesh and blood, thousands of families are wiped out, and no one out of ten can survive.

"Plagues, from ancient times to the present, are not just medical issues, but also related to national decrees, medical systems, legal norms, public health, folk beliefs and other social issues."]

People who lived in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms couldn't agree more with this sentence.

Plague is indeed not just a matter of curing diseases and saving people, but also concerns all aspects. How did Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army mobilize? Isn't it just to distribute food and get free medical treatment?

The four emperors of the Ming Dynasty looked at the "History of the Ming Dynasty" above. Regardless of whether they had taken it seriously before, they all frowned at this time.

Only the current dynasty would compile history books for the previous dynasty. The existence of "History of the Ming Dynasty" means that the Ming Dynasty is indeed gone. Looking at the history books that single them out, the shocking records show that their Ming Dynasty must have experienced a great epidemic.

The people of the Kangxi Dynasty had just passed away from the late Ming Dynasty, and many people were very aware of the tragedy of the late Ming Dynasty. Don't mention anything else, they were scared of smallpox.

["During the Zhou Dynasty, the state set up witch doctors in the countryside to prepare herbal medicine for epidemic prevention.

In the third year of Yongping in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu set up a medical clinic, and officials were responsible for the epidemic prevention work in each household.

In the Tang Dynasty, patient clinics were set up, requiring that the number of local doctors must reach a certain proportion of the local population.

In the Song Dynasty, the "resident medical officer" system was implemented. The central government arranged for medical officers to be sent to serve in local areas on a rotating basis. Huimin Pharmacies were also set up across the country to station medical officers, doctors, and doctors.

The earliest "Xiaotangshan" hospital in my country was established in the second year of the first year of the Western Han Dynasty. Locust droughts occurred in various counties and counties, and the plague was prevalent. Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty ordered the establishment of a public temporary disease isolation hospital."

Every sentence is spoken, and the words in the history books emerge, making history on paper more than just black and white words. ]

Cao Pi: "This Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Is he from their family?

It was only the second year of Zhenguan, and Taizong Dynasty was busy with too many things and did not care about the doctor. Li Shimin quickly wrote it down. The patient workshop is good, and the one in the Song Dynasty is also good, but the key point is that we have to find a way to solve the problem of doctors and medicinal materials.

In the early Song Dynasty, when there was no resident medical officer system, Zhao Kuangyin nodded, copied the work of later generations, and used the system directly.

["'Isolation' is an effective prevention and control method against the spread of the epidemic that the ancients recognized very early.

In 1975, a batch of Qin bamboo slips were unearthed in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, which mentioned that leprosy patients should be sent to the "disease relocation center". The plague relocation center was an isolation and treatment place specially established for plague patients. "

Yunmeng Qin Slips: On the first day of the city, there are ghosts and evil spirits, so why not? When the time comes to move to another place. ]

Ying Zheng, who listened carefully to this, felt something was wrong.

Even if the Qin Dynasty could not pass it on to generations to come, wouldn't there be no history books recording these things in subsequent dynasties? How could they know it through the unearthed Qin slips?

What kind of regulations is this unearthed?

["In the fifth year of Yanxi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a serious epidemic in the army. The government established a special military infectious disease hospital 'Anlu' to house epidemic patients."]

Deng Sui shook his hand as he carefully copied his homework in front of the sky. Until her arrival, no Han Dynasty had the title of Yanxi, so he must be her descendant.

The chamberlain quickly helped her change a new piece of paper, which was presented by Cai Hou yesterday.

When she thought about the epidemic that would appear in the army in the future, she quickly made up her mind and took note of these things.

[In the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent the spread of smallpox, the government would pass administrative orders to place patients in one place for unified isolation.

Regarding isolation, Xiong Lipin of the Qing Dynasty put forward the four principles in the "Complete Book of Epidemic Prevention": do not enter the bed of a patient, do not carry the coffin of the deceased, do not eat the food of the sick home, and do not pick up the clothes of the deceased. ]

Sun Simiao, who was collecting herbs in the mountains, nodded to the four principles. When dealing with epidemics, he must strictly guard against them and not have any chance of contact.

In the past, everyone thought that diseases were transmitted from person to person, but now it seems that those germs are all around the patient, and if you are not careful, you will be treated as a new host.

[“If the epidemic continues to be severe, the central government will arrange for officials to inspect the epidemic and administer graceful medicine.

During the Han Dynasty, when epidemics were prevalent, the central government would send envoys or envoys to inspect the epidemic and administer medicine.

In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict ordering local officials to personally go to the affected areas to appease the people, send doctors and medicines, and report to him one by one.

Beginning in the Song Dynasty, the government also institutionalized the dispatch of medical officers and drug relief during epidemics. All diagnosis, treatment and drug distribution were usually free of charge. ”]

Liu Che blinked, wondering if he had seen it wrong: "It's free of charge. Is that Song so rich?"

Sang Hongyang reminded: "Your Majesty, it's just 'normal'." These are all found out by later generations based on historical books, and the water inside is deep.

["While the epidemic prevention work was in progress, in order to ensure local people's livelihood, starting from the Western Han Dynasty, money and grain were given to the epidemic areas, and corvee and tax exemptions were exempted.

In the Song Dynasty, there were records of granting disaster victims in Hebei Province who were over 80 years old or who were seriously ill and unable to give birth, each one a stone of rice and a bucket of wine. At the same time, the Song Dynasty also established social security institutions, such as Anjifang, which housed homeless patients, nursing homes for widowers and lonely people, and Luzeyuan, which helped those who died of illness be buried in cemeteries. ”]

Although he hasn't started doing it yet, it doesn't stop Zhao Kuangyin from being proud: Yes, it's the Song Dynasty that considers the people so comprehensively!

It is understood by all dynasties and generations to send daily necessities to 80-year-olds. After all, people are rare in the 80s, and there are really few people who live to this age. Not to mention the institutional arrangements, local officials with some brains will pay condolences and visits from time to time, but After hearing about those nursing homes and so on, even Li Shimin doubted his life: Where did he get so much money?

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty said: We also have all these things, okay? Why don't you mention them more.

["It has always been a highly valued tradition for the government to bury the deceased in a coffin at the expense of the government. The first is to preserve the dignity of the deceased, the second is to comfort the family of the deceased, and the third is to properly handle the corpse to prevent the spread of the epidemic .

Every time a plague occurs, people will be panicked and social unrest will occur. The general government will also simultaneously carry out activities to pray to gods and ban witchcraft. Praying to gods is easy to understand. The government takes the lead in praying to gods. The ban on witchcraft is after the separation of witches and doctors. People who are inclined to witchcraft often refuse to receive treatment and are out of control. At this time, the government needs to intervene to control the spread of witchcraft. ”]

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, when witch doctors and witch doctors had not yet separated, the faces of doctors and witch doctors all changed.

In this case, doesn’t it mean that witchcraft is useless and in the way, so witchcraft is banned and only doctors are chosen!

["Microbiology did not appear in ancient times, so the ancients could not understand the mechanism of plague transmission, but it does not mean that they did not know the transmission route."

Taking the plague as an example, the response methods proposed in response to it: do not sit on the floor in daily life, keep the room clean, discard and bury dead rats when you see them, etc., are consistent with the insect bite and droplet transmission of plague studied in later generations. ]

You should not sit on the floor at ordinary times, and the house should be clean and tidy. When you see a dead mouse, throw it away and bury it immediately. Everyone recited these words silently in their hearts, and the fear of the plague kept them in mind.

However, in the dynasties where there were no high chairs, some people also wondered whether kneeling on the ground was too close to the ground. What if they were accidentally touched by a mouse running by?

Some smart people saw the furniture in the anchor's place and had an idea. Those high chairs are not difficult to make, so they will replace them with this kind of furniture in the future.

["In terms of artificial immunity, there were rabies culling activities organized by the government in the 6th century BC. Ge Hong in the Northern and Southern Dynasties also recorded a method of 'taking the brain of a biting mad dog, drying it and applying it to the affected area' to treat rabid dog bites, but The effect is unknown.

The 'vaccination' method for smallpox is only really effective. It is generally believed that variola vaccination in my country was invented in the 16th century at the latest. Some research suggests that it is Taiping County, Ningguo Prefecture in the Longqing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

Variolation vaccination methods are divided into: pox clothing method, pox pulp method, dry vaccination method, and water vaccination method. Water vaccines are the best, and experience has been gained that continuous vaccination of vaccinia for more than seven generations is safer. "

The four methods are separated by circles, and there are also different text records below each different method. ]

All those who could afford it were frantically copying down methods for dealing with smallpox, and doctors were even more serious about it. Even dynasties that had not yet had smallpox also took notes carefully.

Regardless of whether smallpox will appear today, this method is worth recording and studying.

The princes of the Qing Dynasty were all familiar with these methods of vaccination. They basically used the dry seedling method to vaccinate against acne. More than these, they wanted to know how future generations used to avoid smallpox.

["To summarize, my country's ancient policies and methods for epidemics include: isolation, treatment, relief, comfort, artificial immunization, etc. However, the effectiveness of all epidemic prevention measures has a common prerequisite, that is, national stability and economic prosperity.

Natural disasters, wars, corruption, and population imbalance may all be causes of plague outbreaks. In the famous late Eastern Han Dynasty, the frequency of plague outbreaks increased from an average of once every 15.7 years to once every two years. In the early Cao Wei Dynasty, the frequency was as high as once a year, which occurred together with droughts, locust plagues, and military disasters. From the 2 million people during Emperor Shun's reign, the number dropped sharply to about 1 million."

A table full of disasters that had occurred over the years since Emperor Ling appeared and moved slowly. ]

Liu Che, whose population was only over 3000 million at this stage, was holding his breath in his chest. He couldn't go up or down. He was so angry.

There have been disasters every year during his reign, but seeing half of the Han population wiped out, he really wanted to rush over and beat up the Spirit Emperor.

There were also many natural and man-made disasters, and Deng Sui, who had to deal with border issues, also became depressed. From 6000 million to 3000 million people, natural disasters, wars, corruption, what on earth happened to them!

Liu Bei's eyes lit up as he looked at the glory of his ancestors and the disasters that had never stopped since the Ling Emperor period.

The people of Cao Pi in the north are all paralyzed. How come they, Cao Wei, have plagues once a year on average? What is the situation with that military disaster!

[“National turmoil often leads to epidemic outbreaks, which in turn lead to weapons disasters, which in turn aggravate national turmoil, forming a vicious cycle. Every time the cycle proceeds, countless lives are lost.

These are just the tip of the iceberg in our country’s thousands-year history of fighting against plagues. The war between mankind and plague has never stopped, but we have also faced up to the difficulties and are not afraid of dangers. ”]

[The video ends with magnificent music. Xiaoxiao knows that the last part is for the audience during the COVID-19 epidemic.

She waited for the video to end before turning it off.

"Sorry, there are many types of plague diseases. I don't know the specific medicines for a certain disease."]

"That's enough, anchor."

Yi Yan who raised this question wiped the tears from his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed heavily in front of the sky.

"It is our doctors' job to treat illnesses and save lives. We can always come up with the right medicine for any disease."

The plague is not something that she can solve as a doctor, but as a doctor, she must continue to collect medicines to save people and perfectly solve the disease treatment aspect. .
