Before the doctor arrived, Duke Jing of Jin had a dream that two children were standing beside him talking. One said, "Do you know that a famous doctor from Qin is afraid of harming us?" We live above our stomachs and under the cream. He can't handle us. "Soon, the famous doctor arrived in the state of Jin and immediately treated Jin. The doctor said to Kim, "Your illness is very dangerous. Your illness is above the stomach and under the ointment. You can't attack it with moxibustion, touch the needle, and it's useless to drink soup. " Kim remembered what she had done.
