(3rd Update)

"Even if you win the competition, or one day you really become the first stitch in the world, if you want to decorate the façade, it is better to ask me to write a sub-character, which must be higher than the calligraphy that is hanging on it now. After saying this, Luo Ziling admired what he had just written with great satisfaction, and then put down the pen.

Because he wrote with a little negative energy, the words written by Luo Ziling were even better than usual, and even he was very satisfied with reading it himself.

If there was no one else, Yang Qingyin was standing beside him, and he would definitely point to the words and brag to Yang Qingyin.

Although he didn't brag about it today, after putting down his pen, he still looked quite proud.

"Luo family boy, don't get carried away if you can write a few words," Gu Jian'an of course would not admit that Luo Ziling's handwriting was even better than him, and after carefully reading the content that Luo Ziling wrote in Xingshu, he said with a contemptuous face: "It's just a façade, I hope your stitching will not disappoint people for a while." ”

As he spoke, he shouted at Gu Changwei again: "Invite our bronze man out." ”

As soon as he heard Gu Jian'an say to invite the bronze man, Luo Ziling's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Gu Jian'an has an acupuncture bronze figure here?

Luo Ziling knew through his grandfather's words and after checking some information that in the Song Dynasty, the famous medical scientist Wang Weiyi was very good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and wrote a book of "Bronze Acupoints and Acupuncture Illustrated Scriptures", and at the order of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, two acupuncture and moxibustion bronze figures were made.

The Illustrated Book of Acupuncture and Moxibustion on the Acupoints of the Bronze Man is naturally one of the most famous medical classics related to acupuncture and moxibustion treatment in ancient times, but the most amazing thing is the two acupuncture bronze figures made by Wang Weiyi himself.

Acupuncture bronze man, also known as "Tiansheng bronze man", is an acupuncture model cast with fine copper, the body shape is the same as that of a normal adult man, the shell is composed of two pieces before and after, built-in organs, the surface is engraved with fourteen meridians and six hundred and fifty-seven acupoints such as the three yangs of the human hand, the name of the acupuncture point is marked on the edge of the acupuncture point, the process is very exquisite, and can be used for teaching and assessment.

When using, the appearance of the bronze man is coated with yellow wax, the hole is blocked, and the body is injected with water or mercury, when the person being examined or the apprentice takes the acupoint into the needle, if the acupuncture point is selected accurately, after the acupuncture point is pierced, the mercury or water will flow out from the acupuncture point. If you don't hit the acupuncture point, that is, you choose the wrong acupoint, then there will be no liquid flowing out, and even the needle can't be pierced.

These two bronze figures are used in conjunction with the "Bronze Man Acupuncture and Acupuncture Illustrated Sutra", which is a classic textbook for learning acupuncture and moxibustion universities.

There are two bronze figures of acupuncture and moxibustion, and after the casting is completed, they are placed in the Hanlin Medical Hospital and the Renji Hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianliang, the capital.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens invaded the south, and one of the bronze figures disappeared.

In the eighth year of orthodoxy in the Ming Dynasty, in view of the fact that the meridians and acupoints of the bronze people have been blurred and difficult to identify, Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty ordered skilled craftsmen to copy them. Since then, the Song Dynasty acupuncture bronze figures have been lost to the record, their whereabouts are unknown, and even if they have appeared later, they are only copies.

Luo Ziling has never seen a bronze man, but since he was a child, he has studied the book "Bronze Man Acupuncture and Acupuncture Illustrated Sutra", and did not use the bronze man to teach, which is Luo Ziling's regret and Luo Liansheng's regret.

Luo Liansheng regretted that he couldn't have a bronze figure, and he also regretted that he couldn't make a bronze figure.

Luo Ziling didn't know if Gu Jian'an's "please bronze man" was going to move the acupuncture bronze man out for competition.

In Luo Ziling's curiosity, Gu Changwei commanded several people around him to move out a statue covered with a red cloth from the next room next door.

Wu Hongwei had heard of acupuncture and moxibustion, but Wang Tongshan and Yang Qingyin, who were not studying medicine, had never heard of it. They didn't even know the meaning of this acupuncture bronze figure, so when Gu Changwei commanded his subordinates to put the statue in the reception room in a very respectful manner, they didn't react much.

After placing the statue, Gu Jian'an personally lifted the red cloth covering his head.

The moment the red cloth was lifted, Luo Ziling and Wu Hongwei couldn't help but exclaim.

"I believe Mr. Wu has heard of the acupuncture bronze man, right?" Seeing that Wu Hongwei and Luo Ziling both changed their faces, Gu Jian'an was quite proud, he ignored Wu Hongwei's reaction, but said to Luo Ziling with disdain: "Back then, I asked your grandfather to test the acupuncture method, and bet on this bronze man, if he wins me, this bronze man will belong to him." But Old Man Luo didn't have the confidence to compete with me, and this bronze man has always belonged to me. ”

"But this is not the bronze man of the Song Dynasty, nor the imitation of the Tiansheng bronze man of the Ming Dynasty, but the things made by later generations," Luo Ziling stepped forward, observed it very carefully, and said to Gu Jian'an: "Therefore, the cultural relics collection value of this bronze figure is not very large." ”

"But the actual use is very big, right?" Gu Jian'an did not deny Luo Ziling's words, and after smiling, he said: "Because of this bronze figure, I have taught many disciples with outstanding acupuncture, and Chang Wei is one of them." ”

"Are you going to add this bronze man as a bet?" Luo Ziling looked at Gu Jian'an in surprise, "If you want to add this bronze man to your bet, I have to think about how to transport him away in a while." ”

Luo Ziling's arrogant words made Gu Jian'an almost vomit blood in anger.

But what made him want to hit people even more was that Luo Ziling said something even more demeaning to him.

"Anyway, it's not very useful to put it here for you, so it's better to lose the bet to me, and I can also use the bronze man more and more effectively. Seeing that Gu Jian'an wanted to go crazy, Luo Ziling didn't pay attention to it, but said again lightly: "I can also add something to my bet that you are interested in, a collection of prescriptions compiled by my grandfather, but not officially named." ”

"Luo Ziling, don't deceive people too much," Gu Changwei couldn't help it, seeing that his grandfather was very angry, he couldn't help jumping up, and shouted angrily at Luo Ziling: "This is the heirloom of our Gu family, how can it be compared to a prescription you made up." You have gone too far, you have repeatedly belittled us, and if you dare to do this again, don't blame us for not giving you face. ”

But what was surprising was that Gu Jian'an was not annoyed, but after a strange look flashed on his face, he asked in a cold voice: "Old man Luo's prescription is on you?"

"Of course," Luo Ziling said, taking out a thread-bound book from his pocket, "here." ”

"Show me!" Gu Jian'an stretched out his hand to Luo Ziling, "I want to see if it's true." ”

"Impossible," Luo Ziling directly refused, and put the thick booklet into his pocket, "If you win me, this prescription book is yours, and it's okay to look at it however you want." But you don't have a chance to look at the content until you win me. If you suspect that this collection of prescriptions is fake, that is your freedom, and I will not force you to believe it. ”
