Life depends on life. Zi said: Ren, love people. Zhang Shuguang, Head and Neck Surgery Department, Shandong Institute of Cancer Prevention and Treatment (SICT) The character “Ren” expresses people’s love for the world and a grateful heart. As the core of Chinese culture, the basic meaning of “Ren” includes respect and love for others. “Ren” means a person of noble character, with a benevolent heart, who loves the world. A healer should have this kind of benevolence. One of them is “loyalty and forgiveness”. “Loyalty” means “to establish oneself as one would like to be established, and to reach out to others as one would like to reach out to them”, and “forgiveness” means “Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.” In this regard, one should extend oneself to others and understand others in the context of one’s own desires. Doctors should use this as a basis for understanding their patients in the process of healing; if you don’t want to be treated the way you want to be treated, your patients won’t want to be treated the same way. Secondly, it is necessary to restrain oneself, “to restrain oneself and return to propriety is to be benevolent”. One should restrain one’s own selfish desires and not be tempted by external objects. Doctors should not act arbitrarily because of their own selfish desires; they should be guided by reason and do what is reasonable and sensible. Therefore, the art of healing has been called the art of benevolence since ancient times, which emphasizes treating people with kindness, sincerity and urgency. As the ancient saying goes, “Medicine is also the art of benevolence. Benevolent people, must be in love; in love, the people as if they were their own, ask them about their suffering, since there is no place to go” (Qing Yu Chang, “the medical door of the law of the disease theory”). As a patient’s “health is dependent on the life of the medical workers, in practicing “in addition to the human disease, help the perfect health” oath, no doubt need to be benevolent. Chinese medicine has “hanging pots to help the world” said. Legend has it that Fei Changfang of Ru Nan, Henan Province, in the street, had met an old man buying medicine, Taoist bone immortal face, bamboo pole picking a gourd, every darkness will jump into the gourd to go. Fei Changfang is very strange, close to the old man, wine and meat to treat the old man. The old man invited him to enter the gourd with him. Inside the gourd, there was a different heaven and earth, a jade hall and a golden temple, all of which were splendid. Fei Changfang studied medicine under the old man’s tutelage and became a master in a few years. Fei Changfang, in honor of the old man, always hangs a gourd on his waist when practicing medicine. The “hanging pot” became the symbol of medical practice. The term “hanging pot for the world” became synonymous with the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. I think the most interesting thing about this allusion is that “hanging pot” emphasizes the purpose is “to help the world”, get the world to say things, is not our propaganda shouted for decades of “serve the people”? What is the purpose of “hanging a pot”? To be able to “help the world”, the “hanging pot” person can not rely on a “name”, pose, only wear a wide white coat and indiscriminately prescribe more drugs, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, but must have real skills, which should be as Fei Changfang like humble and respectful. Fei Changfang as modest and respectful to the older generation of medical practitioners to learn the art. After learning the art, you will be able to “hang a pot” from your waist. Speaking of “helping the world”, people will naturally recall the allusion to the “Apricot Grove”. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court was corrupt, and politically ambitious people took advantage of the opportunity to rise, all wanting to “king” and the world. Warlords galloped across the mountains and rivers, with their bows and arrows open and their tassels waving, waving and waving. The people are sick and suffering, and the countryside is difficult. A famous doctor, Dong Feng, a native of Changle, Fujian Province, once saved the life of the governor of Jiaosu, who had been dead for three days, and was rumored to be a “miraculous doctor” for a while. Dr. Dong declined the generous offer. Or continue his “pot to help the world” cause. After avoiding the world and hidden into Mount Lu, continue to practise medicine, to “help the world” as his duty. Asked him to heal the seriously ill, in the clinic next to plant five apricot, a light one. A few years later, the apricot grove lush, vast pieces, actually numbered one hundred thousand. In the summer and fall, when the apricots were ripe, he put up “billboards” along the roadside of the forest: a basket of apricots for a basket of grain. As a result, Dong Xun received a lot of rice. But not to get the grain to enrich themselves, not to accumulate strong funds and later foreign settlements in the United States and Canada to enjoy the world’s fashionable new life, but the apricot for the grain “to help the world”, relief for the poor people. As a result of Tung’s excellent medical skills and high medical ethics, the Chinese medical profession has been referred to as the “Apricot Grove” in later generations. The “Apricot Grove Spring Warmth” was used to recognize the medical practitioners and the medical profession who “help the world with their pots”. The “apricot grove culture” has become an important part of Chinese culture. Benevolence” is the core value of Chinese medicine, and it is also the core content of “medical ethics”. In order to “help the world”, the great healers of the past, learning medicine and practicing “benevolence” is a difficult process, the risk is unpredictable, and sometimes there is fear for their lives. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, in today’s medical “Dr.” view, naturally, some stupid, to find out the medicinal properties of a drug, can rely on “scientific” means well, how do you need to try it with life? However, in the age of Shennong, personal taste, is a scientific and reliable method, and is the only one. Shennong went to the mountains to collect medicines and tasted all kinds of herbs. Once even ate the wrong poisonous mushrooms, dizziness and stomach pain, a stumble, fell in a clump of weeds. I don’t know how long it took to wake up. Shennong’s found himself lying in a clump of leaves pointed and long between the herbs, fragrant and mellow, smell for a while, chest gradually not stuffy. He got up and pulled up a tree, barge down a piece of light yellow tuberous root chewing and eating, a fragrant spicy refreshing gas diffuse in the mouth. After another time, the belly rumbles, diarrhea off the poison and the body gradually recovered. So, Shennong’s this can bring back the dead aromatic plant named: ginger. Shennong’s ginger surname, “ginger” that is, “so that ginger to live over” to commemorate the grace of Fangzhu. Since then, ginger has become an important traditional Chinese medicine. According to “Shennong’s Classic of the Materia Medica”, ginger, pungent and warm in nature, enters the lung, spleen and stomach meridians. It has the effect of relieving cold, warming and stopping vomiting, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and preventing poisoning. After the “Materia Medica” as evidence, people can easily grasp the medicinal properties of ginger, and the knowledge of the efficacy of ginger, Shennong’s has experienced a number of trials and tribulations to escape death. Medicine has never been a simple science and technology, which is more nurturing a profound humanistic spirit. Medical practitioners, benevolence is precious. Science and technology advances with the times, old diseases are conquered, new diseases will arise, simple medical skills can never satisfy people’s pursuit of health. Humanity and morality, however, can help construct a perfect life. 19th century American Dr. Trudeau’s epitaph reads: Sometimes to heal; often to help; always to comfort. Medical practitioners should emphasize the cultivation of morality, and understand and treat patients as whole human beings, rather than narrowly focusing on the disease itself. The Southern Song Dynasty’s “Pediatric Hygiene General and Microbiological Formulas” says, “Where the way of healing is concerned, one must first correct oneself, and then correct the matter.” For a doctor, the first thing to do is to establish a noble professional ethics, and then to master and utilize the medicines and techniques for curing diseases well. It was also pointed out in the medical books of the Qing Dynasty that “those who do not have constant morality cannot become doctors”. Even though pure moral cultivation and humanistic care cannot solve all the problems in medical practice and doctor-patient relationship, only a doctor who values benevolence can change from a “craftsman” who focuses only on the technology itself to an “artist” who really knows how to integrate technology and humanism. “. At that time, the doctor “in addition to human suffering, to help the health of the perfect” oath can be truly realized. May the world’s doctors believe in “doctors, benevolence,” the truth of the medical profession! Doctors’ words, actions and deeds should be aimed at “benevolence”!
