author:The Man in the Iron Mask interprets historical figures

Mr. Zheng Duo, the eleventh generation of Zheng's West Garden Laryngology.

This old doctor, who speaks slowly and logically and always puts himself in the shoes of his patients, is Zheng Duo. Zheng Duo, the thirty-third generation of the Zheng clan, he has lived in the Zheng family's West Garden compound since he was a child, and has never left his grandfather Zheng Weizhan.

This is Zheng's West Garden Laryngology Outpatient Department located in Tunxi District, Huangshan City, although he is old, as long as his body allows, Zheng Duo will still occasionally sit here for consultation, using his lifelong experience to solve problems for patients. The medical skills of "West Garden Laryngology" are in the same line, and the same is true in terms of medical ethics, which is not arrogant or impatient in the face of patients, meticulous in consultation, and analyzes all aspects of patients' life and work. Moreover, "West Park Laryngology" believes that it is not possible to have a headache and a pain in the feet, and that laryngeal problems may be caused by other aspects, and the human body is a closely related whole. Zheng Yuan said: "I have an obvious feeling that when I used to run and walk in school, my physical energy was slowly depleted, and after the rapid physical consumption, the blood vessels in the pharynx and under the larynx were rapidly reduced, and the blood supply was insufficient. "Huizhou, known as Xin'an in ancient times, is glorious and prosperous, with profound culture, in addition to giving birth to the well-known Huizhou merchants, Hui opera, Xin'an science, etc., as well as Xin'an medicine that saves the world, Xin'an medicine has been regarded as a microcosm and representative of traditional Chinese medicine in the Ming and Qing dynasties by medical history literature experts, and is famous as "South Xin'an, North Huatuo". Zhang Guicai said: "If you recognize it by regional medicine, Xin'an medicine can be called the "richest man", one is the number of talents, the abundance of medical works, which is rare in the country, because Xin'an is a small place, more than 1,200 doctors appeared before and after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and more than 900 medical works were written. Among them, the "South Park West Park Laryngology" in Zheng Village, Shexian County is a bright pearl in Xin'an medicine, and is known as "one source and two streams" by the world. His ancestors, Zheng Yufeng and Zheng Yufan, two brothers, were in the same practice of laryngology in Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty for 50 years, and have been passed down for 13 generations, specializing in decoction and acupuncture therapy to treat throat diseases, and created the "Yang Yin and Qing Moist School" in laryngology. Zheng's West Garden Laryngology has its own medicine garden, planting some local authentic medicinal materials, so as to ensure the quality of drugs, in terms of drug processing, it is very particular. Xiyuan Laryngology is one of the typical representatives of our Xin'an medical family inheritance chain, and it is also a representative doctor of our Xin'an medical school of "Yangyin and Qingrun School". Ma Zonghua said: "Zheng's laryngology not only has an important position in Xin'an medicine, but also occupies an important position in the whole Chinese medicine. In fact, the Zheng family of Xin'an was mainly engaged in business in the early days, and they were the Hui businessmen of Xin'an. One is oil from Hankou, one is paper from Tingzhou, Fujian, another is salt from Yangzhou, and then there is a pawn shop in Nanfeng. However, the Zheng family has had people who have studied medicine for generations, and have been engaged in Chinese medicine, that is, internal medicine and pediatrics, to help the world. In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors have been practicing medicine. As for why Zheng's laryngology is famous, there is another allusion here. In the 50th year of Kangxi, in 1711, two brothers in the Zheng family followed their father to do business and open a pawnshop in Jiangxi, because his father had a throat disease and invited a Huang physician, Mr. Huang Mingsheng to diagnose and treat, the result was very good, and the diagnosis was calmed, so the two brothers were called Zheng Yufeng, the harvest of "Feng", and the younger brother was called Zheng Yufan. Seeing a doctor early is not about a few dollars, after being optimistic, giving generous gifts, and forming friends with the Huang family, our ancestors also practiced medicine and internal medicine, and I wanted to add another laryngology department at that time. In the past, it was not only the family medicine that was passed on to men but not women; The second one must not be said to the outside world. In the end, Huang Mingsheng saw that the brothers really wanted to learn, and saw that they had a medical foundation and were good seedlings for studying medicine, so he put aside the family motto that was passed on inside and outside, and taught each other. Give them some medical books, as editions for them to study, give them oral teachings, and tell them how to treat these laryngeal diseases. After teaching and learning for three years, they became teachers. After the Zheng brothers returned to Huizhou, according to the habits of the countryside, the brothers separated their families, and after the separation, the elder brother Zheng Yufeng lived in Nanyuan, so it was called Nanyuan laryngology in later generations; The first book written by Zheng is the laryngology monograph "Chonglou Jade Key", which is also the first laryngology monograph in the mainland, the author is Zheng Meijian during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the content is from Huang Mingsheng. The house in Nanyuan has three floors, and Zheng Meijian lives in the three-story building, and it is written on three floors. What does "The Jade Key of the Heavy Building" mean, the key is the key, he is talking about being like a heavy building, being able to open the door and make it unobstructed, because the larynx is the gateway of the lungs, once the larynx is closed, the person can't breathe, so he found a good key, in fact, he named the book in this name. In the middle of "The Jade Key of the Heavy Building", the understanding of diphtheria, it is considered to be yin deficiency, not as we now say that the epidemic is a fever, it is yin deficiency, then yin deficiency disease should nourish yin. During the Qianlong period, that is, in 1754, someone from the Zheng family was admitted to the Jinshi and Hand-picked Hanlin, and was in the same department as Ji Xiaolan, ranking 37th. Prior to this, the Zheng family had been in and out of Jinshi and Renren for two consecutive generations, so Emperor Qianlong rewarded the Zheng family with a big gold plaque. "Taishi Mendi", this time is terrible. Although the Zheng family has superb medical skills, they give people free medical treatment, and they rely on the family's business to worry about food and clothing. There is a couplet on the door of our house, called "Xiyuan Shiye, Dongli Huiren", and "Dongli Huiren" is the neighborhood. "Huiren" means favor, so I don't charge money at that time. The world is impermanent, and after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the West Garden was looted by the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although the descendants of the West Garden gradually rebuilt their homes, they were damaged and it was difficult to return to the old scenery. What was originally just a side job of curing diseases has gradually become the main business of settling down to support his family. As long as the poor come to see a doctor, it is free to write it on the prescription. Zheng's laryngology doctors of all generations have written a lot of medical works, but there have been several major changes in history, and there are not many books that have survived, one of which is "The Key to Laryngology", which is a bit unexpected to be published as an internal information of the family. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, a surname Xu in She County, called Xu Zuoting borrowed it, and after borrowing, the book had to be returned to others, he immediately copied it, three days and nights, and after copying it, he quietly returned it to the Zheng family, so he took it to publish, "The Key to Laryngeology" was published with a preface, and the preface was not ambiguous, "Daoguang Gengzi Year" was the year of Gengzi, and "Seeing My Township" was my township, Mr. Zheng and Xiyuan Laryngology, seeing a disease was like an immortal. The other is "Miscellaneous Laryngeal Diseases", from the fifth generation of Laryngology in West Garden, to make up for many laryngeal deficiencies in "The Key to Laryngology", Zheng Duo's grandfather has accumulated a large number of medical cases in his life, Zheng Duo's father sorted them out, and added a lot of prescriptions for external drugs in it, and also wrote a lot of words, forming a book called "Songchao Secret Record". Because we have a garden at home, there are the most pine trees, all of which are Huangshan pines, and there is a name for it called "pine nest". The greatest contribution of the Department of Laryngology in the West Garden was in the late 18th century during the Qianlong period, when a drought broke out across the country, which then caused many diphtheria epidemics, with a very high mortality rate, and doctors across the country were helpless. Diphtheria, as the name suggests, is that there is white foam on both sides of the throat, and after the white foam increases, one can block the breathing, and you can't exhale; The second invagination, myocardial paralysis, is a heart problem, the mortality rate is the highest, Zheng's laryngology department after long-term observation and understanding of the patient, determined the basic characteristics of diphtheria. There are many children in particular, and there are contagious ones. In this context, Zheng's Laryngology Department created the "Yang Yin Qing Lung Soup" and saved many diphtheria patients, which can be said to be a contribution to the history of medicine and mankind. After the innovation and development of Zheng's laryngology and later generations of doctors have been continued, it is not only the treatment of diphtheria, in fact, it is a kind of theoretical guidance, such as "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" is not only a treatment of typhoid fever, he is a kind of theoretical guidance of Chinese medicine, guiding the clinical practice of Chinese medicine, that is, syndrome differentiation and treatment, how to think. It was not until 1894 that the German physician Emil . Adolph. Feng. Behring only discovered the throat serum in 1901, 47-year-old Emile. Feng. Behring won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that year, but despite the diphtheria serum, the "Yang Yin and Qing Lung Soup" did not withdraw from the stage of history. In October 1960, when Zheng Duo was working in She County People's Hospital, he encountered a high incidence of diphtheria, and the 36 patients admitted to the hospital were diagnosed with diphtheria after laboratory tests, but the hospital did not have diphtheria serum, and all relied on "Yangyin Qinglung Soup" for treatment. You also have to add and subtract according to his clinical symptoms. Fortunately, most of the 36 patients recovered and were discharged, but one girl suddenly fell to the ground and died on the spot when she was about to be discharged, which also became a knot that Zheng Duo could not untie for many years. Is she heart muscle paralyzed, or is it diphtheria toxin, which has not been resolved. Zheng Duo did not mythologize the Yin and Qing Lung Soup, but objectively recognized its limitations in practice. Therefore, Yangyin Qinglung Soup is not completely able to remove diphtheria toxin, but it has its effect. Now the treasure of the town of the West Garden Laryngology Department is the eleventh generation of Zheng Duo, who has studied medicine with his grandfather Zheng Weizhan since he was a child. He studied medicine with his grandfather, and he has been with his grandfather for more than ten years, and he has never broken it, and he treats diseases clinically, of course, whether it is internal medicine or laryngology, his clinical effect is quite good. At the age of twelve or thirteen, my grandfather said come and come, I will come, come and come, you can make this medicine, you will make the medicine yourself, that cupboard is full of medicine, bottle by bottle, come and come, you take out the medicine, and you will take it down yourself. You pick a little bit and put it in the melting pot, and then take out the medicine and put it in it, and tell yourself what kind of medicine it is, this is Coptis chinensis, and this medicine is borneol. In the past ten years, Zheng Duo has seen a lot of things about his grandfather's righteous actions, and once, when Zheng Duo accompanied his grandfather to the doctor, a man in tattered clothes suddenly ran out and knelt in front of his grandfather's sedan chair, startling them. A mud-wrapped thing, a mud-wrapped thing, when my grandfather came back and opened it, it was a chicken, which was the real flower chicken. Then my grandfather remembered that he had passed by a ruined temple on his way to the doctor's office, and when he heard someone groaning in pain, he went in to see it, and found that it was a beggar who was seriously ill. I walked to see a doctor, and the two of you carried the sedan chair back, took this recipe to the pharmacy and grabbed the medicine, and after I had boiled it, I got up early the next day and gave it to him. After the beggar recovered from his illness, when Zheng Duo's grandfather went to the clinic, he specially roasted a flower chicken and thanked him in person on the way he had to go.
