The Tree of Life in the Tibetan Medicine Poster
Dayang and Uncle Akyutuo sat cross legged on the felt mat under the bookshelf, with a thick "Four Medical Classics" placed beside them. Uncle's fingers lightly brushed over the author's name on the cover, as if he had been scalded. He quickly raised his hands, clasped them together, closed his eyes, and moved his lips, murmuring something silently. Da Yang was very curious, so he raised his eyes from the book and looked at his uncle seriously. Although Uncle closed his eyes, he still felt Dayang's gaze and opened his eyes to look at him, saying, "People call me Yutuo. Every time I hear such a name, I immediately feel ashamed and embarrassed, especially every time I read the Four Medical Classics and see the great man's name, I feel even more ashamed of his name
Upon hearing his uncle's words, Dayang couldn't help but lower his head and look at the "Four Medical Classics" on the felt mat in front of him. He softly recited, "Yutuo Yundan Gongbu." Upon hearing Dayang pronounce the author's name, the uncle immediately softly recited, "Om Yutuo Yeda Suoha" (a prayer text used by Tibetan medicine to study the "Four Medical Classics"). He respectfully placed Heshi's hands on his forehead and didn't put them down for a long time.
Dayang looked at his uncle and said, "People call you Yutuo because of your excellent medical skills, and everyone admires you." His uncle interrupted Dayang immediately, saying, "Compared to this great man, my so-called medical skills are not even a grain of sand in the Ganges River." He looked straight at Dayang and said, "Don't say that in the future!" His eyes showed an irrefutable determination.
Dayang looked at his uncle, feeling somewhat bewildered, and turned his gaze outside. The rain outside has decreased significantly, and the sky has become slightly brighter. The continuous dripping water from the eaves of the house pounded on the soaked soil in the courtyard, making a muffled thud sound. At this moment, Uncle gently held the "Four Medical Classics" placed on the felt mat in his hand, placed it in his arms, opened it, and read it carefully. Dayang leaned over and leaned against Uncle, casting his gaze on the pages of the book.
The Tree of Life in the Tibetan Medicine Poster
On the page of the book, there is a colorful picture depicting three tall trees, each of which is very tall. The roots of each tree are deeply rooted in the earth, and the trunk is thick and sturdy. The branches are tangled and tangled together, covered with large leaves.
Uncle reached out and held Da Yang in his arms, pointing to the tree on the book and saying, "The Four Medical Classics were already written during the Tubo period. It wasn't until several hundred years later, when Di Si Sangjie Jiacuo drew these exquisite Mantang (Tibetan medical posters) based on the theories in the book, that we were fortunate enough to see such a book with both pictures and text." He then pointed to the three big trees that were writing the book and said, "These are trees that grow from our bodies." Da Yang was curious when he heard this sentence, so he lowered his head and leaned his eyes in front of the painting on the book, carefully examining it.
What did you see
Dayang looked at his uncle and awkwardly shook his head. Uncle pointed to the first tree in the first picture of the book and spoke incessantly: "Each of us is like this tree. If we understand our own bodies and know how to take care of our health, we will be a big tree with lush branches and leaves. If our bodies have problems, it's like some of the branches and leaves on this tree have rotted and withered, and we will be sick." "So we should take care of our own bodies," Dayang continued Uncle's words. Uncle nodded and pointed to the second tree, saying, "Sometimes, a tree suddenly rots or withers, and we cannot intuitively see where the problem lies. This requires us to use various means, such as inquiry, observation, touch, etc., to find the root of the disease. This tree teaches us how to seek medical treatment
Da Yang listened to his uncle's words and looked at the big tree in the colorful picture in the book, which was a bit cloudy and foggy. Uncle didn't care, so he pointed to the third tree and said, "When we get sick, we need to treat it. We can recuperate through diet - what to eat or not to eat, how to keep warm, prevent catching a cold, and take appropriate rest. Of course, we also need to use medication - medication is the most direct treatment method, including medicinal baths, moxibustion, massage, bloodletting, and other treatment methods." As Uncle talked confidently, although Da Yang only had a partial understanding, he found what Uncle said very interesting. Ak, I want to learn Tibetan medicine from you, "Dayang suddenly said to his uncle. Uncle stared blankly at Dayang, his eyes gradually showing a joyful expression.
