Ancient epidemic prevention method

Yiyu Xue

From the word "epidemic", it can be seen that the ancients knew about the disease -related knowledge. There are many ways to prevent epidemic prevention. Although ancient medicine was underdeveloped, the ancients' efforts have also played a positive role in the practice of thousands of years.

Method of isolation

Among many historical documents in my country, the ancient "isolation" method is recorded. In the "Sleeping Tiger Qin Tomb Bamboo Slip · Legal Answers", Qin State's regulations on the concentration of leprosy patients to the "疠 疠" residence. "Hanshu · Volume Twelve · Pingdiji Twelfth" contains: "Those who are diseased, the first dwellers are the first medicine." Epidemic. Old system, the court of courts is sometimes ill, and those who are dyed more than three people can not enter the palace although there is no disease. "This shows that during the Qin and Jin dynasties, the ancients also knew the importance of" isolation "of the patients of plague. decree. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "isolation and epidemic prevention" has become a system. Xiao Qi Shi, Prince Edward and others set up a specialized patient's "six disease halls" to quarantine people who had plague. The Sui Dynasty was similar to Xiao Qi, and set up a "Lord Palace" for the patients of Ma Feng.

The method of nourishment

"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" said: "Those who do not dye each other, the righteousness is internal, the evil cannot be dry, and avoid its poisonous gas." Invasion, "raising positive" is the key.

Moxibustion

The ancients realized that moxibustion can be "strong and solid, protect the shape, fumigated the original, but except for all diseases, and the pain of the five internal organs, and keeping the Corning." So the ancients attached great importance to moxibustion when they were not sick. Avoid infection. "The Book of Hearts" said: "The method of protecting life, burning Ai first." Bian Yan said that moxibustion can protect life, not only for treatment, but also for prevention. It can be seen that ancient moxibustion is also a way to prevent epidemic prevention.

Method of medicine

The ancients believed that epidemic virus was a very biased evil spirit, and it could use drug bias to restrain epidemic virus bias. If the drug sac is hung on the portal, before the account, or wearing it on the top of the arm, it can prevent epidemic infection. Therefore, the folk once said that "wearing a vanilla bag, not afraid of the five insect pests".

Method of medicine

The method of medicine bath is to avoid evil through traditional Chinese medicine bath. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon" said: "Another method, after the rainwater, the three baths were used to leak sweat with medicine." Liu Songfeng in the Qing Dynasty recorded in the book "Songfeng": "After Yu Yuyu, use Chuanxiong, Kangshu, Bai Yan, Lingling incense is equal to each other, and fried water is bathing three times to leak sweats. Those who sweat have no disease. "This shows that the medicinal bath is also a common way to prevent epidemic prevention.

Pink

The ancients believed that powder on the body could also prevent the evil poison of plague. In the "Elbow Preparation of Elbers", the famous doctor of the Jin Dynasty recorded the drugs made of expounded with acacia, peony, asarum, dry ginger, aconite, etc. It is used to eliminate evil, and it can even be used to treat cattle and horses.

Method of burning smoke

In the "New Editor of the Fang" in the Qing Dynasty, there was a recipe of air disinfection, with "the end of the stage, red dates, a total of pills such as pills, and burning from time to time, which can be removed from time to time." The depression of turbidity can disperse the evil of humidity, and burning smoke also has the effect of air disinfection. It can be seen that when the ancients were facing diseases, they not only had isolation, positive and other methods, but also to cigarette and disinfected. Burn smoke with Chinese medicine to disinfect air, so that it can interfere with the virus, eliminate poison and eliminate epidemic, reconcile the environment, and make people not sick.

Disinfection

The disinfection of the ancients is generally aimed at all the clothes used by patients, and most of them use the method of cooking for high temperature sterilization. "The Fairy Collection · Plague of the Plague" in Jiashan Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty said: "Infectious infection in the heavens, and the family who suffers from the epidemic is steaming the patient's clothes on the 甑, then the family will not be stained."

The wheels of the times are rolling forward, and science has a big leap. We have enough confidence to defeat the emergency epidemic, but the harmony between man and nature must be left behind.
