How did the ancients prevent the plague? What great wisdom did the ancients have?

There is no way to cut off the plague since ancient times. Compared with today's advanced scientific medical level, ancient people did not have a perfect understanding of medical protection, so once the plague prevailed, the consequences would be great.

As we modern people know, the plague is caused by virus infection. In ancient times, people could not find out where the source of the plague was under the condition of poor facilities. This is all based on the experience of an era. So how did the ancients treat the plague and treat it?

I think the plague has something to do with the weather

It is recorded in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals that there are warm winters in winter, and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, but the humidity in the air is very high, which is particularly prone to plague. This is a preliminary understanding, because in winter, the temperature is neither low nor high, and it is really suitable for the survival and reproduction of bacteria in the case of high humidity.

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic also says that healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done to avoid its poisonous gas. The ancestors compared the plague to poisonous gas in the body, which would spread from person to person. Now science also shows that bacteria spread in the air. If no protective measures are taken in the conversation between people, bacteria will spread through body fluids, enter people's respiratory tract and spread in the air, thus making people sick. This understanding was advanced hundreds of years ago.

In the distant Three Kingdoms period, people thought that the epidemic of plague was caused by ghosts and gods. From the words left by Cao Zhi, we can know that people often put runes at home at that time to protect themselves from the plague. However, this is a very useless and ridiculous move. In contrast to this situation, Cao Zhi believes that diseases are the result of temperature changes.

How did the ancients prevent the plague? It means you can't imagine.

According to the records in Huangdi Neijing, in order to prevent the invasion of virus, you need to maintain your own immunity, be cheerful on weekdays, and be optimistic and avoid the source of poisonous gas. In this way, the evil spirits of peace of mind can't find you naturally, and you can stay healthy and live a long life. From the knowledge we know in modern times, the method of preventing plague really needs to avoid pathogens, which is called isolation, so as to fundamentally solve the spread of the virus.

In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen wrote: If you get clothes worn by people in the plague, you need to cook them in a cauldron, so as to prevent a family from being infected. As can be seen from here, Li Shizhen's method is high-temperature disinfection, which is also a very effective method. Kill the germs left on the clothes by high temperature, so as to achieve the effect of blocking.

In addition, Li Shizhen recorded blindly medicinal materials in Compendium of Materia Medica, which is said to cure boils. Most people won't guess this medicinal material. This medicine is actually the top of the head, which is the skull. There is no detailed record about how and how much Li Shizhen used this medicinal material. Only that it can be used, it is estimated that no one dares to use it. Up to now, no one dares to try, so I don't know what the effect is.

It can be seen that we ancients actually had better methods to prevent plague. Time gradually advanced, but by the Qing Dynasty, the scientific understanding of the plague was not so good. Feng Yuxiang wrote such a story in his book My Life.

At that time, when he was a soldier in the army, a plague broke out and many people died. No one tried to cure it, but came up with a strange idea: attacking athel loren. So a group of people ran to the city with guns, lined up in rows, fired guns in rows, and fought from morning till night, hoping to drive away the plague. As a result, the whole city was full of gunpowder, and those patients died, and the number of infected people did not decrease. It's really interesting. After all, the plague still needs medicine to save.

To prevent the plague? justice

Although in Huangdi Neijing? It refers to our own immunity, but I think we need our own self-discipline to prevent the plague. If you want to have good health, you must have good living habits, work and rest regularly every day, not be contaminated with bad things, and have a healthy attitude and be an upright person.

The spread of many viruses is related to people's own bad habits. If we didn't prey on wild animals at will, there wouldn't be so many large-scale virus spread. I have seen news reports before that many young people died suddenly after staying up late, or their kidneys failed after eating takeout for a month, or they developed stones after drinking bubble tea for a month. These are all scary, so why not start with me?

If you are healthy, you can't do evil, so avoid its poisonous gas. ? This sentence is an eternal legacy left by our ancestors, and it naturally makes sense to pass it on for many years.
