[description]

Pu Fu-zhou, formerly known as Qiyu, was born on January 12, 1888 in Changxi Township, Zitong County, Sichuan Province, into a family of world-famous doctors. His grandfather Pu Guozhen and his father Pu Zhongsi were both proficient in medicine and well-known doctors in their hometown. Pu Fu-zhou is the head of the family and has 6 younger brothers and sisters. The family relies on their father's medical practice for a living, and the family is very poor. Pu Fu-zhou started attending private school at the age of 7. After the age of 11, while attending elementary school, his grandfather also taught medical books. Since the age of 15, he has mastered a lot of medical knowledge under his grandfather's dedicated teaching. So, I followed my grandfather in the clinic during the day and studied hard at night. He used Neijing, Nan Jing, Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue as his basic study books, and "Waitai" "Secret Essentials", Qianjin Fang and the books of various scholars in the past dynasties are used as reference. After three years of hard study and consultation, Pu Fu-zhou has accumulated certain clinical experience. At the age of 18, he hung the pot in the countryside. He kept in mind the teachings of his predecessors that "medicine is a benevolent skill" and changed his name to Fu Zhou, which meant assisting the poor and weak and helping the sick.

In 1917, Pu Fu-zhou opened business in Chengdu, and returned to Zitong to practice medicine a few years later. In 1927, he was elected as a member of the Sichuan Zitong County Chamber of Commerce. In 1933, he was elected as the head of the First District of Zitong County, Sichuan. He resigned due to illness a few months later. During this period, he was enthusiastic about social welfare undertakings. In 1931, he initiated the establishment of "Tongji Shi Medical Society" in Zitong County. This charity has solved the problem of many poor people who have no money to buy medicines. He also founded a number of charitable undertakings such as the Civilian Correctional Factory, the "Coffin Distribution Society", and the Xihe River Crossing. He helped the living people and was welcomed by the local working people.

In 1936, feeling that current affairs were changing day by day and disdaining to join the local political circles, Pu Fu-zhou went to Chengdu to practice medicine. At the same time, the "Tongji Shi Medical Society" was also established in Chengdu and signed a contract with Taishan Hall. After receiving free diagnosis from him, patients who had no money to buy medicine could go to Taishan Hall to get medicine with his specific prescription, and the account would be recorded in his In his name, he will settle the accounts regularly.

In 1940, when cholera became popular in Zitong, Pu Fu-zhou immediately transferred 200 silver dollars and a prescription after hearing the news. He asked his brothers to copy the prescription for treating cholera and post it everywhere to publicize it; The medicines are bought and sold at half price, and the poor do not get a penny.

In 1945, when measles became popular in Chengdu, Pu Fu-zhou often waded to the Yu River and the working people's settlements in the suburbs to provide free diagnosis and treatment to them.

In 1955, the Chinese Medicine Research Institute of the Ministry of Health was established, and Pu Fu-zhou was ordered to transfer to Beijing. Before going to Beijing, he returned to Zitong and held free clinics for the masses for three days. He got up at dawn every day and continued to treat patients until the time of lighting. After arriving in Beijing, he worked in the Internal Medicine Department of Guang'anmen Hospital, Institute of Chinese Medicine.

Joined the Peasants and Workers Democratic Party in 1956. In 1960, he served as the director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Institute of Internal Medicine of the Chinese Medicine Institute. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1962. In 1965, he was appointed as the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Institute. He also served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Third and Fourth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a representative of the Fourth National People's Congress, and a member of the National People's Congress. Ke Weizhong (BL40) is a member of the Medical Special Committee, an executive director of the Chinese Medical Association, and a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party. Died in Beijing on April 29, 1975.

Pu Fu Zhou was diligent in clinical practice and wrote few books. In addition to a few published papers, his clinical medical records were compiled by his students and published by "Pu Fu-zhou Medical Records" and "Pu Fu-zhou Medical Experience" wait.

Rigorous scholarship and striving for excellence

Pu Fu-zhou is a clinical master. During his more than 70 years of medical career, he always aimed to revitalize the motherland's medical science, studied medical science intensively, read well, studied rigorously, and strived for excellence. Since his youth, Pu Fu-zhou has developed the habit of studying hard, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which remains unchanged for decades. When he was transferred to Beijing, he was already in his seventies and enjoyed a high reputation, but he insisted on keeping his habit of reading unchanged. In addition to learning from books, he also learned from experienced doctors. The prescriptions for pain wind, Baishu Pills, and Jiehexue hematemesis prescriptions that he usually uses are all dictated by other old Chinese medicine practitioners; the "Jiuzi Rehmannia Pills" for treating and controlling eye diseases such as internal eye disease and internal visual obstruction, I also learned it from an ophthalmologist in Sichuan. In order to verify his book knowledge, Pu Fu-zhou also dared to practice. When I had doubts about "eighteen antagonisms" in my early years, I used half a pound of honey plus 4 taels of fistular onion stalk. I pounded the fistular onion stalk into mud and mixed it with honey. After leaving it for half a day, I fed the dog one third every hour. The dog ate it. There were no abnormal reactions after taking it, and I took it orally and was still fine, which confirmed that honey and fistular onion stalk are not "opposite". He also took seaweed and Liquorice Root together. After many experiments, it was proved that seaweed can be used together with Liquorice Root for clinical use. He found that its power in softening and resolving knots was stronger. He also tried Gansui Root with Liquorice Root. Although he had a severe reaction after taking it, he found that it was very effective in removing phlegm and removing turbidity.

Pu Fu-zhou believes that there is no end to learning and learning must be persevering. The theory of Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. It is difficult to master without perseverance and perseverance to live and learn. He insisted on carefully reading every Chinese medicine document, no matter how big or small, chapter by chapter, section by section, word by sentence, and read it repeatedly. Pu Fu-zhou said that every time you read it, there will be new inspirations. Only by careful consideration can you draw inferences. There are many diseases and many different medicines. Only by studying hard can we take good care of the disease. Pu Fu Zhou has always been strict with himself and has never been rude. In his early years, he practiced medicine in his hometown and already enjoyed a high reputation. However, due to an accidental medical error, he resolutely stopped practicing medicine for three years, studying behind closed doors and reflecting on his shortcomings. During this period, he also spent a month copying and reading a borrowed Japanese book "Emperor Han Medicine", and said with emotion: "Foreigners have such in-depth research on Chinese medicine, how can the Chinese do it?" I am willing to feel inferior"! His strict self-discipline is evident here. He set three criteria for his behavior:

• First, if you are good at reading, you must seek deep understanding. See the key points, take good notes, and deepen your memory; if you have any doubts, check them again and again to make a clear distinction.
• Second, teach carefully and be prepared. If you talk about the original text, the theme will be clear and the argument will be well-founded; if you analyze it, it will be in-depth and easy-to-understand, and it will be fascinating.
• Third, be careful when approaching the syndrome and never be careless. When asking about the condition, you should carefully observe the body and identify the cause; when treating syndrome differentiation, you should be bold and attentive to treat the problem.

His strict academic spirit enables him to distinguish subtleties when clinical symptoms occur, and his accuracy in examining syndromes and pulse diagnosis is superior to others. For example, during a consultation discussion for a patient with severe Japanese encephalitis, the doctors present all believed that the patient had high fever, burning hands, chest and abdominal stuffiness and fullness, had not had bowel movements for 3 days, had a heavy and rapid pulse, and had yellow and greasy fur, so he could use laxatives. Treatment method below. But Pu Fu-zhou believes that although the chest and abdomen are stuffiness and fullness, they are not firm, the pulse manifestation is not heavy but slippery, and the fur is thick and greasy instead of old and yellow, so there is no need to use the following method. The stool will pass on its own. Just as the doctors were analyzing the case carefully and their opinions were gradually coming to a consensus, the nurse came to report that the patient had loose stools. The accuracy of his certification impressed his colleagues.
