It 's too bad to be sick

The 2018-10-08 health

By public ten years "zuo," recorded in a tale of gentle view male 獳 her illness. The original text reads: "the duke sought medical treatment for his disease in the qin dynasty. Qin bo made the doctor slow for it... The doctor then said, "the disease cannot be cured. It is on huang and under gao. Do not attack, do not reach, do not take medicine, do not do.

In 583 BC, the king of jin fell ill. The reason was that he had a dream at night. In the dream, a man wants to take revenge on him. Jin king was scared to wake up, from then on a sick. At that time, there was a very famous doctor named "huan" in the state of qin. In order to cure his illness, the king of jin sent for a reprimand.

While waiting for the doctor to come slowly, the king of jin had another dream at night. There were two little children in the dream. One said, "we are afraid that we are going to be finished. The doctor is going to treat him with a reprieve. Another child said, "don't be afraid. We can run away and hide above huang and below gao. There will be nothing we can do to cure them."

Doctor huan really came to the state of jin. After meeting the king of jin, he was very helpless and told him that the king of jin was seriously ill. If I use acupuncture, I can't fight evil. If you use decoction, the effect is not enough, can not be treated.

This is where the idiom "disease has attacked huang" comes from. This idiom originally meant that the condition was too serious to be treated. The situation is too serious to be retrieved.

So what exactly does' huang 'mean? In shuowen jiezi, written by xu shen in the eastern han dynasty, it is explained as follows: "paste", "fat also, human fat"; "Huang", "above the lower heart diaphragm" (intertext here, "below the heart diaphragm" can also be). However, in huangdi neijing, an authoritative work of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no place where "gao" and "huang" appear together.

In traditional Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, "huang huang" is the name of a acupoint. The earliest explanation of "huang miao's acupoints" comes from the thousand gold prescriptions written by sun simiao in tang dynasty. The following are described in the book: "gao miao's acupoints are incurable to all kinds of diseases. Once upon a time, the state of qin was unable to relieve the disease of the duke of jin. When the fool can not find this hole, so the night is difficult to send. If you can easily get moxibustion heart, no disease is not more.

Thus, "gao huang" may be the name of a disease, or refer to a part of the human body, or it is just a acupoint on the human body. At present, in acupuncture, "zhuanhuang point" is one of the commonly used acupoints of the foot solar bladder meridian, which is located under the 4th thoracic spine and three inches apart. It is mainly used for the treatment of cough, asthma, consumption, night sweats, forgetfulness, spermatorrhea, leanness and so on. In the daily health care, moxibustion can be carried out on zhuanhuang point. Generally, moxibustion with moxibustion strips, moxibustion 10 minutes to 15 minutes, warm and slightly red skin is appropriate. Many doctors in past dynasties believed that this point has the effect of supplementing deficiency and nourishing heart and lung.
