Ye Guishao inherited his family studies. Grandpa Ye Zifan (a child fan) was a famous dutiful son with noble medical ethics when he became famous. My father, Ye, was famous for his superb medical skills, read widely, liked drinking, writing poems and collecting ancient cultural relics, but he died before he was fifty, when he was only fourteen. When Ye Gui was twelve years old, he studied medicine with his father. After his father's death, he wandered the rivers and lakes, and his family was poor, so he began to practice medicine. At the same time, I worshipped my father's favorite pupil Zhu as my teacher and continued my studies. He is brilliant, "smell speech to explain" and easy to understand. In addition, he is diligent and studious, and often has more opinions than Mr. Zhu who teaches him [2]. [3] Ye Gui was familiar with Neijing, Difficult Classic and other ancient books since he was a child, and he also found and used them for reference from the books of famous artists in past dynasties. Not only tireless, but also humble and virtuous; We should not only read widely, but also learn from others' strengths with an open mind. Ye Gui abides by the old saying that "three men must have a teacher", and he is willing to be a teacher as long as he is a better doctor than himself; As soon as I heard that a doctor had expertise, I left happily and didn't come back until I finished my studies. From the age of 12 to the age of 18, 17 famous doctors visited him successively, including Zhou Yangjun, Wang Zijie and other famous doctors. No wonder later generations called him a "knowledgeable teacher". [2]
A famous doctor named Liu is good at acupuncture. Ye Gui wanted to learn, but no one introduced him. One day, Zhao, the nephew of the famous doctor, came because his uncle could not cure his disease. Ye Gui concentrated on diagnosis and treatment, and a few pills cured him. Zhao was very grateful and agreed to introduce and change his name and surname to worship his uncle as a teacher. Ye Gui studied modestly and cautiously there. One day, someone brought an unconscious pregnant woman. Dr. Liu refused after feeling the pulse and could not be cured. After careful observation, Ye Gui found that pregnant women could not transfer their fetuses, and they lost consciousness because of pain. Just stick a needle under the navel of the pregnant woman and ask someone to carry it home at once. When I got home, the fetus was born. Dr. Liu was very surprised. After detailed inquiry, he realized that this apprentice turned out to be the famous Ye Gui. He was very moved and taught him all the acupuncture techniques. Ye Gui's mother is ill, but he can't cure it. He invited famous doctors inside and outside the city again and again, but it didn't work. He asked his servant, are there any knowledgeable and unknown doctors in this city? The servant said: there is a doctor in the back street who often boasts that his medical skills are better than yours, but few people ask him to see a doctor. Ye Gui was surprised and said, "If you have real talent, please come quickly!" ! When the servant invited Dr. Zhang, he said, "Mrs. Tai's illness is getting worse, and the master lingered all night and repeatedly said' Huanglian'. Dr. Zhang went to Yejia to see the old lady and the empress dowager, and carefully looked at the past prescriptions. It took a long time to say: the combination of medicine and symptoms should be effective. However, the heat of this disease is depressed between the heart and stomach, and coptis root must be added as medicine. Ye Gui said casually, I have long wanted to use coptis root, because my mother is old, and I am afraid it will put out the real fire. Dr. Zhang said: Mrs. Tai's pulse is two feet long and strong. What's wrong with using Rhizoma Coptidis? Ye Gui agreed, and two doses of medicine cured him. Later, Ye Gui said to people, "Dr. Zhang's medical skill is better than mine. I can ask him to see a doctor. "
