"Cancer" is called by Western medicine. What is the ancient "cancer" that prevails in traditional Chinese medicine? Only one word, but it sounds familiar.

That we can't tell what kind of symptom we're talking about. Cancer can actually be regarded as a kind of malignant tumor. "after division, it will destroy other tissues and cells of the human body. Even when the place where cancer cells first appeared is almost occupied by cancer cells, there is still no perfect solution to cancer. Basically, we can only passively bear the pain caused by the spread of cancer cells. In ancient China, the name cancer is obviously not unique to modern society. Naturally, cancer is also regarded as similar to other diseases, and we can already see some records of cancer in medicine. "Cancer can only be kept in human written records with the name of tumor." but at that time, there was also a more accurate name to describe cancer. People had obviously discovered the difference between cancer and ordinary tumors, and then the "Taiping Shenghui Fang" of the Song Dynasty defined cancer as The word "cancer" officially appears in medical books. I can't imagine that this will be a related record of cancer. "

You may not believe it, many of which we thought were modern products, actually existed in ancient times, but they were called differently from each other. Just like the glasses we use today, similar cups have been unearthed in the tombs of the warring States period. The glossiness and shape are exactly the same as those we use every day, but they were called glazed cups at that time, and many people could not match it with the glass. For example, our common takeout today already has relevant pictures in the "Riverside Picture of the Qingming Festival" in the Song Dynasty, and these takeout boys send not only daily food or utensils, but also drinks and all kinds of snacks, isn't it wonderful?

Looking at our medical books, we can also see a lot of records of difficult and complicated diseases, and also give the corresponding treatment plans, but for ordinary people, these technical terms are so far from what we say verbally that we can't tell what kind of symptoms we are talking about. Just like "cancer", "cancer" is a name derived from the West. In ancient China, only one word of its name would sound familiar to us. Let's take a look at it in this article.

What is cancer?

In fact, cancer can be regarded as a malignant tumor, and its biggest feature is abnormal value-added.. The idea of abnormal value-added looks like a big head. to put it simply, cells are proliferating faster than usual.

What is the impact of abnormal value-added on the human body? Let's put it this way--Our human body is made up of countless cells. These cells themselves have a certain life span and cannot be infinitely complicated. It's just that when some cells die in our body every day, new cells are also produced.It has no effect on our human body.

How do cells produce new cells? That is division, in theory, how long each person can live determines the limit of cell division in the body.These cells divide and change in their respective positions, maintaining the normal operation of the various organs of the human body, without affecting other organs, allowing the human body to achieve a balance. But the emergence of cancer cells has upset this balance.

Cancer cells are different from ordinary cells in that they can divide indefinitely, andIt is also very rogue, and after division, it will huddle together to destroy other tissues and cells of the human body, and even when the place where cancer cells first appear is almost occupied by cancer cells, this cell will attack other adjacent areas and cause damage to other organs or tissues.

The most regrettable thing is thatAlthough the medical conditions so far have been very advanced, there is still no perfect solution to cancer, especially for patients with advanced cancer, who can only passively bear the pain caused by the spread of cancer cells.Leave a lot of regret for yourself and your family.

The name of "cancer" in ancient China

Cancer is obviously not new in modern society.Its earliest records even existed in ancient times, but at that time, people's medical skills were so low that even a cold could take a person's life, and cancer was naturally regarded as similar to other diseases. it is difficult to distinguish between concepts.

Later, with the development of society and the summary of human experience, medical skills gradually appeared, and all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases also had their own distinctions. In the Yin and Shang dynasties, we could already see some records of cancer from the medical skills. It's just that these records were uniformly classified in the category of "tumor" at that time.In the absence of a definition, most cancers can only be preserved in human written records in the name of the tumor.

But there was also a more accurate description of cancer at that time--What we are talking about is the uneven appearance of the surface after getting sick, similar to rock.In the "difficult Classic", the earliest medical book in China, people have obviously found the difference between cancer and ordinary tumors.Cancer is recorded as "accumulation".It is understood that this book was formed in the warring States period.At that time, people's judgment on this symptom was that the disease was caused by the accumulation of sick or evil qi, which was blocked in a certain part of the body.

After that, the "Taiping Sheng Hui Fang" of the Song Dynasty defined cancer as "ecstasy", which actually meant depression and aggregation.It was in the Song Dynasty that the word "cancer" officially appeared in medical books, but the meaning of "cancer" at that time was completely different.

In additionCancer was recorded as "choice", "symptom", "choking" and so on in ancient times.Do you feel that these terms are so strange that you can't imagine that this is a record of cancer?

Cancer in the present

Nowadays, with the development of medicine, although cancer can not be completely conquered, more and more drugs have been found to be effective in the treatment of cancer.For example, Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin, while according to relevant reports, Tu Youyou found that penicillin mainly originated from the "elbow backup prescription" of GE Hong, a Jin man. It can be seen that ancient China also had a very detailed research on cancer and continuous exploration of treatment plans.

Also in the Song Dynasty, cancer was described in detail and concretely in the medical book "Renzhai Zhi Fang Lun".In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a clear record of the performance of a specific organ of the human body after being infected with cancer, that is, lip cancer recorded in "authentic surgery".

In modern times, with the end of isolation and the influx of foreign ideas and culture, foreign medical skills have also been widely used for reference at home, which leads to the confirmation of the name of cancer. But in fact, if you look closely, you will find thatIn fact, the word "cancer" of cancer is the prefix of the word "cancer" which appeared in the oracle bone inscription period, which is also a kind of respect and continuation of traditional medicine.

Today, cancer is still bothering many people, and a large number of medical workers have made a lot of efforts to study the treatment of cancer, unlike when Chinese and Western cultures first collided in modern times. some traditional Chinese resist all foreign things, or some people desperately advocate the advanced nature of the West and completely negate Chinese traditional culture.Today's social environment is more inclusive and diverse. Western medicine can be used, and China's medical achievements will be respected and recognized internationally.

BelieveWhen China and the West work hard together for the cause of treating cancer, this problem will also be satisfactorily solved one day in the future.

Postscript

Cancer is a difficult problem for human beings for many years. By observing the evolution of the theory of cancer in ancient China, we can also see people's attention to this disease. But just like human beings conquer smallpox, I believe that as long as we work together, multi-faceted investigation and research, we will always find a corresponding solution.
