The beast-patterned copper furnace exudes the scent of incense.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others were all gathered in Zhu Xiongying's dormitory at this time.
Vaccination technology?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand anything about medical skills.
But the imperial physician should understand, right?
He looked at Sun Shouzhen, the magistrate of the Taiyuan Hospital, who was carrying a man wearing a white and blue official robe and a black gauze hat on his head.
"Does Sun Yuanling understand?"
Sun Shouzhen looked ashamed, clasped his hands into fists, and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, I have few talents and limited knowledge, and my medical skills are far from enough..."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt his tirade, showing impatience.
"Don't tell us this shit, just say you understand or you don't."
Sun Shouzhen shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know any vaccination techniques."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that even Sun Shouzhen, the well-informed and well-read minister of the imperial hospital, did not know the vaccination technology.
Taiyuan Ling is the leader of Taiyuan Hospital. To be able to sit in this position, his knowledge and medical skills must be comparable to that of ordinary doctors.
Even the Imperial Hospital Order does not know the vaccination technique.
Then I'm afraid that all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital don't know the vaccination technique.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and glanced at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan's knowledge was actually more extensive than that of the Taiyuan Hospital Order.
His medical skills are even higher than those of Imperial Hospital Order.
It is indeed extraordinary.
"Dr. Su, what is the vaccination technique you are talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
Everyone present raised their ears and listened carefully.
Su Xuandao: "Vaccination technology is a method of inoculating the human body with vaccines to gain immunity."
Everyone was shocked.
It turned out to be this method.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know much about medicine, he understood what was going on.
The vaccination technology is equivalent to letting people catch the disease in advance, and then the bodies of future generations will become immune to the disease. However, this method sounds inappropriate no matter how you listen to it.
Sun Shouzhen frowned.
Although he is not a conservative doctor, Su Xuan's method is really bold and risky.
"Dr. Su, is this method of yours too risky?"
"In case the patient cannot tolerate the illness."
"Won't he die?"
Wang Lun and the other doctors whispered to each other.
"It's really risky to fight fire with fire."
"If ordinary people's bodies are not strong enough, they may be unable to resist and die immediately after vaccination."
"Few people in the world can resist dangerous diseases like bean disease. If vaccination technology is used to prevent bean disease, if this method is popularized, ordinary people will already be infected by bean disease before their bodies have gained resistance. die."
...
Su Xuan stopped everyone's doubts and said calmly:
"If you listen below, you will know whether this acne technology is reliable."
He dared to speak out about the vaccination technique because later generations had verified that this method was effective, so he dared to speak out.
Useless method.
How could he waste his breath?
"One of the vaccination techniques I'm talking about is variolation."
"And the variolation technique consists of four."
"The first method is the acne clothing method."
"This method is to take the acne slurry of children and store it in a small porcelain bottle and bury it in the soil for later use. When using it, dye the stored acne slurry on clothes and let the children wear them."
Dong Han's "San Gang Shi Lue" in the Qing Dynasty recorded that a doctor surnamed Zhang, who had practiced vaccination for three generations, used the pox dressing method to vaccinate children to prevent bean disease.
"The second method is the acne pulp method."
"Saturate cotton with the patient's pox pulp and stuff it into the nostrils of the vaccinated person."
Everyone showed disgust when they heard the second pox technique. They could barely accept the first pox technique, but the second one was really too bad.
Su Xuan ignored their expressions and continued: "The third variolation technique is the drought seedling method."
"The dry vaccination method is to grind the acne scabs shed by the patient into powder and blow it into the nostrils of the vaccinator through a thin tube."
"This method is similar to the acne serum method."
"The difference is that one uses acne serum directly, and the other uses exfoliated acne scabs and grinds them into powder."
"The final variolation technique is the water vaccine method."
"This method involves grinding the acne scab into fine water, smearing it on cotton, and then stuffing it into the nostrils of the vaccinator."
"Except for the first variolation technique, the remaining three variolation techniques involve inserting the disease into the nostrils of the recipient."
Su Xuan introduced the variolation technique of vaccination and remembered some things about variolation technique that he had seen in his previous life.
Since its invention, variola vaccination has been secretly taught among the people.
It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that it was officially promoted and became popular.
When the Qing army entered the pass.
Many Manchus were infected with the smallpox virus.
Emperor Shunzhi was also infected with smallpox.
On his deathbed, Emperor Shunzhi passed the throne to the third prince Xuan Ye, the future Kangxi.
Xuan Ye suffered from smallpox.
The smallpox virus no longer posed a danger to him.
For a dynasty that was in urgent need of stability at that time, Xuanye was the best choice.
Then he created Emperor Kangxi who will be famous throughout history.
After Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, in 1682, the smallpox virus spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, so Emperor Kangxi ordered various places to be vaccinated against variola.
Kangxi's "Tingxun Motto" records:
Xun said: In the early days of the Republic of China, people were often afraid of getting pox, but now that I have obtained the prescription for vaccination, all my children and your children have recovered from the disease. Today, the forty-nine banners outside the border and the vassals of Khalkha are ordered to be vaccinated against acne; all those sown will be cured. I remember that when I was first vaccinated against acne, the young people thought it was strange, but I did it with determination and saved the lives of tens of millions of people. Is it an accident?
Then, the invention of variolation attracted the attention of some foreign people.
Russia sent people to learn the art of variolation.
This method spread to Türkiye and Northern Europe via Russia.
1717.
Lady Montagu, the British minister to Türkiye, learned the method of vaccination in Constantine.
Three years later, I vaccinated my six-year-old daughter with variolation in the UK.
Subsequently, European countries and India also tried variola vaccination technology.
1744.
Li Inshan went to Nagasaki, Kyushu, Sakura Country, and taught the technique of variolation to Yuan Oritaka.
1752.
The "Golden Mirror of Medicine" compiled by Wu Qian and others in the Qing Dynasty was spread to the Cherry Blossom Country.
"Yizong Jinjian" records these four types of variolation.
The technique of variolation is widely spread in Sakura Country.
At the beginning of the 18th century, Tunisia also implemented this method.
In the mid-18th century, the variola technology invented in my country spread throughout Eurasian countries!
"Variolation is used to extract weak disease strains, so that healthy people can eliminate weak disease strains in advance, so that the human body can develop immunity. The four methods of variolation, pox pulp method, dry vaccine method, and water vaccine method are variola. Vaccination method.”
Doctors such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Sun Shouzhen were amazed when they listened to Su Xuan's introduction.
"I didn't expect that there is such a way to treat diseases in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang was amazed.
Sun Shouzhen was thoughtful.
"What Dr. Su mentioned about variola vaccination, I have read a similar case in a medical book. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, many of the children of Prime Minister Wang Dan died of diseases similar to bean disease, and then gave birth to another child when they were old. My son’s name is Wang Su.”
"Prime Minister Wang Dan was worried about Wang Su getting bean disease and asked the doctor how to prevent acne."
"Someone suggested that there is a miracle doctor in Mount Emei who can vaccinate against pox."
"Then a doctor was invited to Bianjing to vaccinate Wang Su."
"The child will develop fever after seven days, and the pimples will scab after twelve days."
"Later Wang Su lived to be sixty-seven years old."
"It seems that the doctor also used the variolation technique that Dr. Su mentioned."
Zhu Yuanzhang and all the doctors were shocked.
I didn’t expect variolation to be so powerful.
"Dr. Su is really amazing. He can come up with such a method to prevent bean disease. He is really a miracle doctor."
"Doctor Su's medical skills are beyond our level."
Wang Lun and other doctors sighed.
