Wang Shuhe (王叔和), courtesy name Xi, was a native of Gaoping (present-day Weishan County, Shandong). A famous physician and medical book compiler during the Wei and Jin dynasties. Uncle Wang and his childhood were spent in poverty without food and clothing. The harsh reality of life has made him develop a hard-working, studious, modest and calm character from an early age. He was particularly fond of medicine, read many ancient medical texts, and gradually learned the art of diagnosing pulses and curing diseases. When he began practicing medicine, people looked down on him because of his family's poverty and worn clothes. He had to wander around carrying a medicine box, often without food or accommodation. Because he had some research on pulse science, he slowly cured many difficult patients, and more and more people invited him to see a doctor, and his reputation became bigger and bigger, gradually spreading throughout Luoyang City.

When he began practicing medicine, people looked down on him because of his family's poverty and worn clothes. He had to wander around carrying a medicine box, often without food or accommodation. Because he had some research on pulse science, he slowly cured many difficult patients, and more and more people invited him to see a doctor, and his reputation became bigger and bigger, gradually spreading throughout Luoyang City. At the age of 32, he was elected as the Tai Yi Ling of the Shaofu of the State of Wei. The Wei Dynasty Shaofu contains a large number of famous medical texts and medical books of the past, and there are many experiences and recipes of the past. Wang Shuhe took advantage of the favorable conditions of being a doctor and read a large number of pharmaceutical works, laying a solid foundation for him to climb the peak of medicine. Later, after decades of meticulous research, on the basis of absorbing the pulse diagnosis theory theories of ancient famous medical scientists such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and combined with his long-term clinical practice experience, Wang Shuhe finally wrote China's first complete and systematic monograph on pulse science - "Pulse Classics", counting more than 100,000 words, 10 volumes, and 98 articles. The "Pulse Classic" summarizes and develops the previous pulse science experience of the Western Jin Dynasty, and lists the physiological and pathological changes of the pulse as 24 kinds of pulses, making pulse science officially a science of Chinese medicine to diagnose diseases.

The Pulse Sutra
(Qing Yu Jiaxi's Dialectics of the Four Libraries speculates that Wang Shuhe was also a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing's relatives) He sought ancient teachings and learned the scriptures. He is not only proficient in the classic texts of Chinese medicine, but also has a lot of research in pulse science. Tang Gan Bozong's "Biography of Famous Doctors" said: Uncle Wang and the temperament are calm, especially good at writing, studying the square pulse, quietly diagnosing and cutting, and adjusting the way of cultivation. Song Gao is also known as Bo Hao Jingfang, You Jing Clinic,...... Deeply understand the source of healing. The most outstanding contribution of his life was the compilation of the earliest surviving monograph on pulse science in China, the "Pulse Sutra". Pulse science originated very early in China, and Bian Que often used the pulse cutting method to diagnose diseases. Pulse cutting is an important part of the four diagnoses of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting" in the medical diagnosis of the motherland, but at that time it was still not valued by ordinary doctors, such as Zhang Zhongjing's "On Typhoid Fever" pointed out in the preface that some doctors lack pulse knowledge, or do not pay much attention to pulse science, so that the clinical diagnosis is unclear, which is very dangerous for patients. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of doctors correctly applying pulse diagnosis and diagnosis in the treatment process, there is an urgent need for a pulse monograph. Wang Shuhe collected the discourses of ancient physicians such as Bian Que, Canggong, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo on pulse science, and added his own clinical experience and insights, and finally wrote this famous book on pulse science.
"On Typhoid Fever", "Outline of the Golden Plateau"
After years of war, many of the books (at that time, papermaking was not yet mature, and the books were written on bamboo) were scattered or incomplete, even the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which was completed decades ago, was the same fate. As The Tai Yi Ling Wang Shu He (tai yi Ling is equivalent to the president of today's most advanced hospital), he was well aware of the great value of this medical treatise, and his heart was very unbearable, so he made up his mind to restore this Kuang Shi Qi book to its true appearance. So he collected the old treatises of Zhongjing, searched for the original of the book in various places, and finally succeeded in obtaining the whole "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and sorted it out and restored it, and preserved it, which is the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" that we see today. But only the typhoid part of the book is found, and no miscellaneous disease part is found. Until the Tang Dynasty, people found a pamphlet that had been mothed by insects, and some of the contents of it were the same as those of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever"; there were also some contents, which were texts on miscellaneous diseases, which had not yet been seen in the world at that time, but their style and rhetoric were very similar to those of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever". Formally, this pamphlet is an excerpt and is not complete. Although some regrets could not get the original, but in the end it was a big gain, so the content of the typhoid part was deleted, and the miscellaneous disease part was sorted out and published, named "The Outline of the Golden Plateau". Although it is only incomplete content, this part of the discussion on miscellaneous diseases has provided great help for later generations of physicians to deal with many thorny medical problems, and Uncle Wang and the collation of "Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" have enabled "Typhoid Fever" to survive to this day.
In addition to the above related pulse science and collation of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", Wang Shuhe also has some incisive expositions on health maintenance. Wang belongs to the medical health school in health science, advocating adjustment from the aspect of living and eating, in order to obtain longevity, but the disease prolongs life. He proposed that the diet should not be too messy, but appropriate, which is a more systematic discussion of diet and health in the early days of China.
"Uncle Wang and the Pulse Recipe"
Writings on pulse science. One volume. Written by the old title Jin Wang Shuhe. However, it is generally believed to be the work of wang shuhe of the Six Dynasties Gao Yangsheng. This book is characterized by the exposition of the pulse in the form of a more popular song recipe, which is closely related to clinical practice. Many of the contents of the book were re-compiled based on Uncle Wang and the "Pulse Classic". The twenty-four veins are discussed in detail, and the names of the seven tables (floating, qian, slippery, real, string, tight, and hong), eight miles (micro, sinking, slow, astringent, late, volt, wet, weak), and nine paths (long, short, virtual, promoted, knotted, generation, firm, moving, and fine) are established. Because it is easy to teach, it is widely spread and has a great influence. And from this derived a lot of pulse science works. For example, after this book was annotated by Ming Xiong Zongli, it was renamed "Don't Listen to the Vulgar Interpretation of pulse tips", and Zhang Shixian wrote "Tu Zhu Pulse Tips" (also known as "Tu Zhu Pulse Tips To Identify the Truth") on the basis of this book; and many doctors have revised this "Pulse Tips", the more representative of which are Yuan Dai Qizong's "Pulse Tips Publication Errors" (also known as "Pulse Tips Publication Errors"), Qing Li Yanyan's "Pulse Tips Compilation Identification", and so on. However, the views in the book, the understanding of the meaning of the veins, and the contempt of the text have been criticized by later generations. Ming Lü Fu criticized Gao Shi for "falsely establishing the seven tables, eight miles and nine paths" in the Treatise on the Ancient Fang of the Qunjing. The "Literature Examination" also believes that this book does not appear in the Sui and Tang "Classics", and is afraid that it was entrusted by Song Xining's predecessors. Extant Ming and Qing engravings, manuscripts.

The Chakra describes and distinguishes the various chakras. The book divides the pulse into twenty-four kinds of floating, qian, hong, slippery, numerical, promoting, string, tight, sinking, volt, leather, real, micro, astringent, fine, soft, weak, virtual, scattered, slow, delayed, knotted, generational, and dynamic, which basically includes various symptoms reflected in the human inch mouth artery, and initially affirms the positioning diagnosis of the "inch mouth diagnosis method". Wang Shuhe also further extended the distinction and mastery of various pulses as the key to cutting pulses, and correct diagnosis is the basis for treatment. To this end, Wang Shuhe organically combined pulse, symptom and treatment in the "Pulse Sutra", correcting the tendency of the past to detach pulse science from medical practice, isolate pulse disease, or mystify pulse science. Since then, pulse science has become the scientific basis for diagnosing the internal changes of the disease. What should be particularly worthy of the attention of future generations is that the "Pulse Sutra" appeared in the Wei and Jin dynasties when metaphysics was rampant, which was particularly valuable. In order to let people make better use of the "Pulse Sutra", Wang Shuhe also wrote books such as "Pulse Tips", "Pulse Tips", "Pulse Tips" and "Children's Pulse Tips". Wang Shuhe is not only good at summarizing medical experience from practice and rising to theory, but also pays special attention to the prevention of diseases. The Imperial Records say: "Uncle Wang and the tasters said: 'If you do not have desires and miscellaneous desires, you may have committed some crimes, and although there were no disasters at that time, they accumulated for a long time to make people sick.'" Eating what you eat, everything you get, and eating too much makes Pahang short of breath, or to the point of severe illness. In the summer and autumn equinox, it is a genus of less fat cakes, which is similar to wine and melons and fruits. There is no need to be sick at all times, into the autumn apostasy, the yang dissipates the yang breath, the cold is always up, as much as the pawn.

More than 1,700 years ago, there was a small village in Gaoping called Wangsi Village, and there was a medicine shop that had been passed down from generation to generation, and the owner's surname was Wang. When Wang Ji's medicine shop reached Wang Shuhe, the scale was not much larger than before, and the family property was not much more than before, but the fame of curing diseases and saving people was much greater than before. At that time, there was a saying called "North and South Xuchang, who does not know Mr. Wang of the Taihang Mountains." From the prince of Wang Sun to the common people, there is an endless stream of people who have traveled thousands of miles to gaoping wangsi village for medical treatment. Uncle Wang and adhering to zude, not vain, not greedy for gold and silver, under the mountain to repair a plate of medicine mill, the village side of a pair of medicine mortar, the family to open a medicine shop, daily or for people to treat diseases, or go up the mountain to collect medicine, or immerse themselves in the study of his "Pulse Sutra", but also leisurely.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and by the end of the Wei Dynasty and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, there were frequent wars in the north, plague epidemics, and the lives of the common people were miserable. The poor people were sick, and they had to struggle to work to earn money, and when they were terminally ill, they had to seek medical treatment. Imagine that such patients have a cure! Uncle Wang is a straight man, neither can say that nice roundabout words, nor will he push the hemp out of his hands, still doing his best to cure people's diseases, but he did not expect to see one die, look at two dead and one pair, for a while people are floating, people are suspicious of his medical skills and dare not come to the door, and the scene of the traffic in front of the door in the past is gone.
Besides, there is a grocery store in Gaoping City, and there are two young guys in the shop, one is called the second year and the other is called the third child. On this day, the two guys were standing in the shop cabinet, when they suddenly saw Uncle Wang and walking in front of the shop door, they couldn't help but talk about it, and the second year said, "This Mr. Wang is getting worse and worse, and the bodhisattva who was previously a living person in the world has now become the king of Yama." Xiao San said, "This is not true, those patients were originally his own illness and did not save, how to complain about Mr. Wang's medical skills!", the second year said: "You are also funny, who is not sick to seek medical treatment, seeking medical treatment is originally to live, is it to find death?" Xiao San said, "According to what you said, even if a good person is killed by Mr. Wang's hand, I would like to ask Mr. Wang to check his pulse today to see if I am dead or dead!" The guy praised the stomach full of gas, and went to eat, the little third son is a tendon, and the sophomore mixed his mouth, the heart is very unhappy, eating millet to catch rice, just put down the bowl, I saw Uncle Wang and walked in front of the shop again, Xiao San was anxious in his heart, shouted "Mr. Wang!" A fierce man jumped from the back room to the street, and then, involuntarily, he lay down on the ground, shouting stomachache! Uncle Wang and the boy who saw Leng Xiaozi lying on the ground, full of hot sweat, rolled on the spot, squatted down and grabbed his wrist and cut his pulse, sighed and said: "This person is helpless." The sophomore couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "It's really a big day to meet a ghost!" My brother and master have no illness at all, the original is not angry, bet on you, you are really going to die, such a mediocre still blow what 'Taihang Mountain..."The words were not finished, only to hear Xiao San exhale and did not move. Reaching forward to probe, he was out of breath, and his heart was shocked, and he even shouted "Strange! blame! Mr. Wang really put a living young man to death!" That little three books were overeaten, and they jumped violently, causing the stomach and intestines to crack, but those who watched the liveliness on the street did not elaborate on the cause, nor did they listen to Uncle Wang's explanation, but only echoed the sophomore's statement, and immediately passed on ten, ten hundred, added branches and leaves, and portrayed Uncle Wang and as the ancestor of the plague star demon, not to mention who came to find Uncle Wang and treat the disease, even his original street neighbors, afraid to avoid him. In this way, Uncle Wang had a hard time standing in his hometown for a while, sighed a little, and provoked a medicine burden to travel to other places.
It is said that there is a Jeju City under the Taehang Mountain, and there is a "Jishengtang" pharmacy in the city, and a new doctor was hired in this shop a few days ago. Although the newcomer to the hall was new, the treatment of medicine was quite magical, and he was particularly proficient in internal medicine. One day, there was a funeral in Jeju City, and when I saw the funeral that was about to be done, I guessed that it was a poor family. The thin coffin was carried from the Jisheng Hall, and a few blood were drained. The gentleman who was sitting in the hall at the counter caught a glimpse of the blood stains, was suddenly shocked, and then fixed his eyes on it and shouted: "How do you carry the living person out of the funeral?" Those who came out of the funeral team wept, mourned, and blew, each performing his duties, and no one paid any attention. In a hurry, Mr. Zatang stepped forward and grabbed the half-eldest child who was pulling the spirit flag and shouted in a loud voice: "The coffin is a living person, and the person in the coffin is not dead!" The funeral procession was chaotic, and several descendants thought that he was deliberately fooling around, and pulled him to fight. The trumpeter was an old man, well-informed, and saw that Mr. Zatang did not look like an evildoer, stopped the young man, and summoned a middle-aged man to call him to cut. The middle-aged Man's surname is Wu Ming Fengsheng, and the person buried in the coffin is his wife Jia Shi, who is only twenty-eight years old, and died violently due to the collapse of blood in childbirth. According to local customs, young women die of bleeding and other diseases, collectively known as the "disaster of blood and light", in order not to affect the family neighborhood, they must be buried early. On the same day, Jia Shi had just passed out, and the elders of the clan forced out of the funeral. This afternoon, when he lost his wife in middle age, he was infinitely sad, and when he heard Mr. Zatang say it, he was even whimsical and willing to open the coffin for autopsy. As soon as these words came out, several stunned boys rushed forward and "crunched" to pry open the coffin lid. Mr. Zatang grabbed the deceased's renzhong, Guan Yuan, and other caves, and in an instant, Na Jia Shi sometimes breathed, then groaned, and then opened his eyes slightly, half-leaning to start. This medical case caused a sensation in Jeju City. When I inquired about Mr. Zaitang's name, I learned that it was Uncle Wang on the Taihang Mountain, so I knew his lover a little, and then told Mr. Wang about the time when he was practicing medicine in his hometown, and the poor medical luck "diagnosed" the death of the shop guy who was not stunned. For a time, one passed on ten, ten passed on a hundred, and Uncle Wang was passed on to the current Bian Que and the next Hua Tuo. All kinds of strange rumors spread to the capital city of Xuchang, and the princes and ministers hired three times and five requests, and forced Uncle Wang and him to be a doctor in Kyoto.

Later generations praised Uncle Wang and his evaluations were mixed, and those who detracted blamed him for messing with Zhongjing Yuanyi. For example, Yu Jiayan attacked: "The way of Zhongjing, but people know that Uncle Harmony is clear, and who knows that he has fallen because of Uncle Harmony!" Those who praised it believed that Uncle Wang and the compilation of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever had made great contributions throughout the ages, especially when the book was in danger of survival, and Uncle Wang and his contribution to it was indelible. Just as Jin Daicheng said without himself: "Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" must be manifested and used in the world, and those who do not fall to the ground, shuhe and the power are also." Song Lin Yi once said: "The Book of Zhongjing and more than eight hundred years now, those who do not fall to the ground, all of them are also powerful." Qing Xu Dachun also said: "Gou Wu Uncle and, Yan has this book?" Indeed, The contribution made by Wang Shuhe in sorting out the ancient literature of Traditional Chinese medicine is enormous, and it is worthy of our praise for leaving valuable documents for future generations. Without Wang Shuhe's collation, it may be difficult for us to know Zhang Zhongjing's achievements in medicine today. His meritorious deeds of carrying forward the past and opening up the future are worth remembering.
Uncle Wang and his rigorous attitude towards learning are also reflected in his citations of the literature of his predecessors. For example, a large number of ancient documents are cited in the "Pulse Classic", and when he cites the documents, he either lists them in the form of titles, or indicates the source of the documents in the form of annotations after the text, so that the reader can find out the original documents according to the sources of the cited documents. In his hometown of Zoucheng, Shandong Province, there is now a Shuhe Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the descendants of his hometown remember this outstanding medical scientist in this way.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > influences of later generations</h1>
Wang Shuhe's "Pulse Classic" is a monograph on pulse science after the "Difficult Classic". Pulse diagnosis is a unique diagnostic method of traditional Chinese medicine, and pulse image also occupies a very important reference significance in diagnosis. In this book, Uncle Wang's description and interpretation of pulse science is profound and meticulous, which shows the depth of his achievements in pulse science. He divided the pulse into 24 types, of which the characteristics of each pulse under the doctor's finger, representative medical evidence, etc., are described very appropriately, and the language is vivid and accurate, very practical. And compared and distinguished from the "flat vein" (the pulse of a normal person). In ancient times, the diagnosis pulse was three parts of the nine waiting, that is, the three parts of the human greeting (carotid artery on both sides of the trachea), the inch mouth (the lateral artery of the arm), and the Zhao Yang (dorsal artery of the foot), each of which had a total of nine waiting pulses, and the process of diagnosis and treatment was cumbersome, and the patient also had to undress and take off his socks, which was not very convenient. Wang Shuhe summarized and sorted out the pulse diagnosis method, and boldly innovated, changing this method to the "single inch mouth" inch mouth pulse diagnosis method, only need to look at the bilateral inch mouth pulse, you can accurately know the overall condition of the person.
This major reform, on the surface, is to simplify the diagnosis method, but in fact, this is an innovation that is possible after the profound derivation of medical science, rich medical knowledge and a large amount of clinical experience is the root of innovation, and this method is still in use today, thousands of years of repeated trials, really can stand the test of time, this major success is the crystallization of bold knowledge and university questions.
In addition, he also stressed that when diagnosing pulses, we should pay attention to different factors such as the patient's age, gender, height, body shape, and personality, which cannot be set in stone and cannot be separated from the actual situation. He mentioned in the preface to the "Pulse Sutra" that it is difficult to grasp the diagnosis of the pulse, "easy in the heart, difficult to understand under the fingers", that is, the flexible and accurate application of the knowledge of the pulse of the back to practice requires a difficult process. This sentence has also become a "cautionary" word for thousands of generations of physicians to teach and learn pulse science, and it is almost indispensable for practitioners. In the arduous study of pulse diagnosis, practitioners can also fully appreciate the importance of focusing on clinical practice and not talking about it on paper.
Wang Shuhe's compilation of the ancient book "On Typhoid Fever" and the writing of the masterpiece "Pulse Sutra" are major achievements in the history of the development of Traditional Chinese medicine. This Tai Yi Ling, who is also a rare talent, has set an example for medical students. In the process of learning and practicing Chinese medicine, we must first follow the ancient, Bogu, and Xigu books to inherit the previous learning, in order to learn new, use new and innovative theories to carry forward medical theory, which is the right way to learn Chinese medicine and promote the cause of Chinese medicine.

The veins are subtle, and their bodies are difficult to discern. The strings are tightly floating and rotating. It is easy to be easy in the heart, but it is difficult to understand under the fingers. If it is said that the sinking is the volt, then the party will always be obedient; if it is slow, it will be dangerous. There are several conditions, and those with different diseases and the same vein are used for the use of medicine, and their lives are related. And Que Zhi Miao, Ju or Jia Si; Zhongjing Ming Trial, also waiting for the form of evidence, if there is any doubt, then examine the calibration for verification. Therefore, typhoid fever has a ring of breath, and the vomit is between the lower scorch. And the will of the text is far away, the generation can be used, the old scriptures are secretly described, the mysteries are not sold, so the end of the study, ignorance of the original, rebuke the prejudice, each can do their own. The slightest change into an ointment, the hope of stagnation and extinction, good and good. Since the compilation of the present collection of Qi Bo, he was arrested by Hua Tuo, and the sutra was decided and combined into ten volumes. Hundreds of diseases are rooted in the root cause, each with similar examples, sound and color evidence, and should not be prepared. His kings, ruan, fu, dai, wu, ge, lü, and Zhang, the similarities and differences, xian xi recorded. Sincerely can pay attention to the study of poverty, in the end, it can be compared to the ancient sages, generations without dying. ("Chakra Sutra"
