Chapter 547 Complex System
"Later, Dongsonggangwa from the mainland was invited to cure Trisong Detsen. The Tibetan king was very happy and gave him the name Taxi Dongsonggangwa, which means 'Sifang The best person in the three realms', and gave him land. From then on, Dongsong Gangwa settled in XZ. "
"In order to develop the medical industry in the snow area, Chisong Dezan selected outstanding young people from the snow area to study medicine under Dongsonggangwa. Under his guidance, nine young people passed the exam through hard work. After studying, they all became famous doctors.”
"Among them, Yutuo Nyingma Yuandan Gonpo is the most outstanding. He has traveled to the mainland, India and Nepal many times to study, and has extensively absorbed ancient classics such as "Medical Canon", "Yuewang Medicine Diagnosis", "Blessing the King and Longevity Sutra" The essence of modern works, after more than 20 years of practice, in At the end of the eighth century, he wrote the most influential classic work in the history of Tibetan medicine - the "Four Medical Canon""
"To this day, all traditional medicine in Tibet is contained in the "Four Medical Canon". Developed on the basis of ”
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but admire the piety of Tibetan doctors: "Taking knowledge on your body can be regarded as a painstaking effort and hard work in practice."
Master Denzin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. , these two pieces of leather are original The condition is said to be that it is wrapped with a treasure letter and coated with glue paint?"
Zhou Zhi nodded: "Yes, that's right, I still have the earliest photos of this box with me this time."
< br>As he spoke, he opened the package and handed the photo over.
Master Danzeng read it carefully and handed it to Director Jiang. Then he said to Zhou Zhi: "It can be seen that even the treasure letter and illustrated book are hidden secretly and are not willing to be shown to others."
"Why is this?"
"Because in the first half of the ninth century, religious and political struggles became increasingly fierce. In 839, King Bodhidharma of Tibet came to the throne. He vigorously opposed Buddhism and destroyed Buddhist temples and monks. . Within three years, he was defeated by his political opponents. After being killed, the Tubo dynasty collapsed and gradually formed a separatist society and entered a feudal serfdom society."
"After nearly a century of war and division, Buddhism gradually prospered, compared with what it was before Bodhidharma destroyed the Buddha. 'forward "Hong period", this period is called the "Post-Hong period" of Buddhism. In the following three to four hundred years, dynasties changed frequently, including Ali and Sakya."
"The main knowledge in Tibet at that time was It is in the hands of monks, and the same is true for the "Four Medical Canon". Therefore, during the period when Bodhidharma destroyed the Buddha, the "Four Medical Canon" was lost due to the killing and dispersion of monks."
"Ah! ?”
"Fortunately, after the original manuscript of the "Four Medical Classics" was written, Trisong Dezan followed the advice of the Indian monk Padmasambhava 'in order to perpetuate Buddhism' and buried the book secretly."
"About 10 In 1912, Detun Chapawanga of the Red Sect discovered the "Four Parts" buried in the bottle-shaped pillars of the Wuzi Sutra Hall of Samye Monastery. "Medical Classics" has brought this classic that has been dormant for more than two hundred years to the light of day! "
"I'll go... Just like our Han Dynasty's "Shangshu", it can be passed down, not only by human power, but also by God's will... ..." Although he knew clearly that this medical book was eventually passed down, Zhou Zhi was also frightened into a cold sweat by Master Tenzin's narration.
“Since then, Tibetan doctors of all dynasties have continuously researched, annotated, and updated the book, and absorbed knowledge other than Tibetan medicine to greatly enrich its content.”
“Illustrations are A very important part of Tibetan medicine, Tibetan medical theory, is mainly based on the theory of three causes. ”
"The so-called three causes refer to the three major factors of 'Long', 'Chiba' and 'Bacon'. The characteristics, functions and mutual restraints of these three factors are used to deduce and explain the physiological activities of the human body, the mechanism of disease occurrence, The theory that guides diagnosis and treatment is called the 'Three Causes Theory'. "
"The 'Long' among the three causes has six attributes: light, rough, cold, slight, hard, and dynamic, and is related to the five origins. The properties of 'wind' in are the same. "
"Chiba, the "Four Medical Classics" clearly states that it 'has the nature of fire'."
"Bacon, the founder of the Northern School of Tibetan Medicine, Nangye Zhasang, said' "Cultivation is water, roots are soil, and together they are water and soil."
"Combining this diagram, we can see that Long, the wind of the five sources, is located in the lower part of the hip joint, and the constant is the bladder. The Long system is composed of breathing, movement, blood circulation, food absorption, five senses, excretion, etc. Long has light, rough, cold, slight "We look at this line, which is called Weiminglong. It is located on the top of the head, through the throat and chest. It has the functions of swallowing food, inhaling, spitting, and yawning." , hiccup and other functions." "This is called ascending. Look, the line starts from the chest, passes through the nose, tongue, and throat, and has functions such as vocalization, respiration, and exhalation. "
"This line is called the protrusion, passing through the heart and throughout the body. .Complete lifting, lowering, walking, and stretching. , opening and closing and other basic movements.”
“This is called Pinghuolong, which passes through the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, etc., and plays a role in the digestion of food, the filtration of nutrients and residues, and the seven essences and three filth. transformation.”
"This is called the lower urethra, which is located in the anus and runs through the large intestine, bladder, reproductive organs, thighs, etc., and has the function of storing and expelling semen, maternal blood, menstruation, etc."
Listening to Master Denzin's explanation, Zhou Zhi I finally understood the true meaning of those organ lines and cloud-like modifications on the figures of men and women.
After that, Tenzin explained the five sources of fire Chiba and the five sources of water, soil and bacon.
Chiba is located in the middle of the hepatobiliary body, and the constant of Chiba is the scrotum. The Trichoderma genus system is composed of the body's heat production, digestion, color, etc. Chiba has seven properties: hot, sharp, greasy, light, smelly, laxative, and wet.
They are the digestive red barley that is located in the small intestine and has digestion, absorption, body temperature maintenance, and the auxiliary and strengthening functions of other red barley;
Located in the liver, it has the function of transforming nutrients and color of the whole body;
It is located in the heart, it has the function of determination, ambition, and courage;
It is located in the eyes, and it has the function of objects The clear vision red ba that plays the role of intraocular imaging;
The clear vision red ba is located on the skin and has the effect of improving skin color.
The bacon is located in the upper part of the head and chest, and the constant is three handfuls.
This is a strange constant. It is different from the previous Long and Chiba who put their hands together to measure a handful.
The Bacon system is composed of bone connection, taste perception, gastrointestinal motility, etc. It has seven properties: sticky, cool, heavy, dull, stable, soft and greasy.
Nanyi Bacon: Located on the chest, it serves as the base for the rest of the bacon and plays a role in balancing body moisture.
Stirring Chiba: Located in the stomach, it stirs and grinds food and increases gastric motility and secretion.
Taste bacon: Located on the tongue, it has the function of distinguishing taste.
Foot Jue Bacon: Located in the brain, it has the purpose and desire to master the five senses.
Adhesive bacon: Located in the joint cavity, it has the function of connecting joints and smoothing joint activities.
After having such a complex concept of three causes, in Tibetan medicine, the three causes are divided into two concepts: physiological state and pathological state.
The former are three functional substances that maintain life activities; the latter are factors that cause disease due to changes in the three constants, residence, and functions under the influence of various external factors.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhi roughly understood the picture. This system is quite similar to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in Han Dynasty, but it is completely different.
But in any case, it is conceivable how complicated a theory built on such a complex foundation would be.
