Recently, the epidemic in China has been unrestrained again, and many places have successively exploded, disrupting the social and economic development and the rhythm of people's daily life. But the epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility. Rounds of nucleic acids, quarantines, and dynamic clearances are repeated. We will win the sniper battles and annihilation wars of epidemic prevention and control again and again. So in ancient times, there was no itinerary code, no health code, and no Internet communication. How did we prevent, control and isolate and avoid the spread of plague? Let’s see how our ancestors demonstrated great wisdom in epidemic prevention and influenced them to this day.

Scientific practice of "epidemic prevention" by ancient Chinese

For thousands of years, people's fight against various plagues has never stopped. Among them, isolating sources of infection, providing effective drugs for rescue, maintaining environmental sanitation, wearing homemade "masks", etc. are all direct and effective measures for epidemic prevention and control, and many of these practices are still in use today. Thanks to these inspirations, the epidemic has been significantly controlled since modern times.

Method 1: Cut off the infection path and source. As early as the pre-Qin period, people knew that by disposing of corpses, they could cut off the epidemic. The Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties During the reign of Emperor Wu of Yingcheng, there were a serious epidemic in the city, and more than ten people died in the city! The court ordered people to give the deceased coffin to prevent the epidemic from spreading. In the Song Dynasty, the officials would recruit monks to bury their bodies after the epidemic, and reward them with the certificate of decree. If the epidemic is serious, the government will mostly adopt mandatory isolation, such as blocking all roads in the epidemic area, sending troops to guard the city, and preventing people from moving at will to prevent the epidemic from spreading further. This has also become a complete strategy in ancient and modern times.

Method 2: Implement disease isolation to prevent the spread of the disease. "The Book of Han: Emperor Ping Ji" records that "those who are sick and ill will have to leave their empty houses to build medicine." In the face of the outbreak, the official will make special spare rooms to isolate patients, and will also distribute free medicine to the victims to provide medical and treatment services. According to " Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Tomb Bamboo Slips ", if the epidemic occurs, if the people around them have signs of infection, they must actively keep a distance and report to the government as soon as possible. Once the patient is officially diagnosed, he will be forced to isolate and detained in a special place, called " 未分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分� By , the Southern Song period, the officials successively established "Anjifang" in various places. The outbreak occurred, and the disease was isolated and prevented according to the severity of the disease, and doctors also needed to record the disease.

Method 3: Treat and prevent infectious diseases through traditional Chinese medicine "immunity". Let’s talk about rabies first. my country’s earlier immunologic medical immunization practice is the prevention and treatment of rabies. For this disease, of the Eastern Jin proposed in " elbow reserve emergency prescription " "There are poisonous prescriptions for treating soldiers," which means killing the biting rabies , taking out its brain and applying it to the biting place. Let’s talk about smallpox. In early ancient Chinese books, smallpox is called “supreat sores”. Ancient Chinese medicine practices the treatment of similar vaccine methods in rabies, typhoid fever, etc. For smallpox, people have gradually explored ways to prevent its infection from spreading. These "immunization" methods are summarized by people in long-term practice, and their effects are equivalent to those of the original vaccine.

Method 4: " dynamically clear " policy. 400 years ago, the " Plague Theory of " by Wu Youke systematically proposed the specific practice of "dynamic zeroing" for the first time. The first step is to strictly control the epidemic. The mask made of wearing cloth towels was first proposed by Wu Youke, and then the deceased was fully filled and blocked the spread of the virus. This is a method of disinfection. The second step is to distinguish between mild, moderate and severe cases, and isolate patients with different diseases in different regions to prevent random jumps and lead to the spread of the virus. The third step is to make Dayuan Drink based on Chinese medicinal materials to treat the patient's damaged organs, especially the lungs, and allow the patient to gradually recover his physical strength.It is precisely because of the self-created "dynamic clearance" that traditional Chinese medicine Wu Youke successfully quickly ravaged the epidemic to the Guanzhong area of ​​Shanxi, where nine out of ten rooms were empty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty 400 years ago!

(Prescription: Dayuan Drink)

The ancient Chinese "anti-epidemic" culture has influenced so far

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Party Central Committee has put the safety of people's lives and health first, and has taken epidemic prevention and control as the most important work at present, and has made comprehensive arrangements and arrangements for strengthening epidemic prevention and control, gathering powerful forces to fight the epidemic, and providing fundamental political guarantees for resolutely winning the battle against the epidemic.

From the defense of Wuhan and the defense of Hubei to the normalized epidemic prevention and control, to the battle against delta , Omickron ... my country responded quickly, relying on the mass prevention and control system to build a people's defense line to block the epidemic. As long as the epidemic alarm is found, it is checked as soon as possible, traced the source as soon as possible, isolated as soon as possible, and blocked as soon as possible, forming a top-down, echoing upward and downward prevention and control situation in the country, and restore normal production and living order in the shortest time. From 400 years ago to the present, China has achieved complete zeroing in on the virus based on the successful theories of the ancients. Ancient and modern history have proved that dynamic zeroing policy is the most effective, economical and scientific way to deal with viruses.

In fact, in China, with a long history, the spread and development of the epidemic has always been an important factor threatening people's lives and safety. In the thousand-year history of fighting the epidemic, the intelligent descendants of Yan and Huang have explored a "fighting the epidemic" path from the witchcraft to the construction of the public health system. It can be seen from this that our isolation and epidemic prevention measures are essentially not much different, whether in ancient times or in modern times. These examples all show that institutional advantages are not blown away, but are actually placed here.

WHO praised China for its adoption of "probably the most ambitious, fastest and most active epidemic prevention and control efforts in history." WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Adhanom 4 pointed out that China's experience tells the world that it is possible to curb the spread of the epidemic. Any country can control the epidemic as long as it has firm commitment from the government and strong cooperation from the people. There is no doubt that China's achievements in fighting the epidemic have injected confidence into the global fight against the epidemic.

China's "anti-epidemic" struggle in ancient and modern times has never lost

From the history of defeating plague , smallpox, malaria , schistosomia and polio , we have witnessed the scientific spirit and selfless character of Chinese doctors Wu Lien-teh , Qi Changqing, Tu Youyou, Gu Fangzhou and others; witnessed the astonishing actions of the Chinese people to unite and overcome all difficulties under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China , and defeat the epidemic again and again. China's "anti-epidemic" struggle is recorded in historical records and remains in our memories. These all reflect that the Chinese nation has never been afraid of plague and has never been crushed by such hardships. Instead, it faces difficulties and becomes more courageous as it goes down. Today, China inherits the wisdom and experience of our ancestors, innovates the supreme magic weapon that relies on the masses, and launches another people's war against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. We will surely win this battle against the epidemic and usher in the dawn of victory.
