Song painting is the pinnacle of Chinese painting! Li Tang Chuanshi's work "Village Doctor Map", also known as "Moxibustion Map", collected in the Taipei Palace Museum. It depicts the scene of the ancient rural village Langzhong treating patients with moxibustion under the shade of roadside trees.

The figures in Tang Dynasty paintings are mostly images of aristocracy and religion, while the figures in Song Dynasty paintings are more from the bottom. The reason why the painters of the Song Dynasty paid more attention to the social figures at the bottom is because of the importance they attached to people's own values and the improvement of humane care in their times. The "Medical Doctor" is a work that best embodies the humane care of the Song Dynasty painters.

"Village Doctor Map", also known as "Moxibustion Ai Tu", was a custom figure painting created by Li Tang of the Southern Song Dynasty, describing the situation in which the village doctor (the village doctor) was treating the villagers. It was the earliest painting on the subject of medical affairs in China. One.

Take a closer look at the "Village Doctor's Picture", a man with a bow in his waist, holding moxa sticks, concentrating on moxibustion behind the patient;

In the center of the picture is the patient being moxibusted. His eyebrows are locked, his eyes are open, his muscles are tight, his moustaches are standing upright, his clothes are scattered around his lower body;

Opposite to the patient, an old woman clamped her arms tightly, and cooperated with Lang Zhong to hold the patient's hands and feet to prevent him from moving. A person with only half of her head behind her showed sympathy;

A young man pressed hard on the arm of the moxibustor and squinted at the old doctor with his eyes slanted.

The medicine boy on the right side of the screen is holding a patch of plaster, standing side by side respectfully, as if waiting for an assignment at any time.

The whole picture has a tense atmosphere. The patient's expression is abnormal and painful. Lang Zhong's treatment is focused and calm. The old woman is very hard. The two teenagers may be afraid or worried. It is not difficult to see that the author expressed great sympathy to the working people at the time, which is also a concrete manifestation of the cultural care of others.

"Moxibustion Ai Tu" has been meticulous in caring for life itself. When the topic of difficult medical treatment is referred to Danqing, it also brings us some important enlightenments, that is, society needs a sound medical system and a sound medical system.

When ancient people at the bottom encountered illness, they could not enjoy good medical conditions like nobles. So in backward rural areas, the doctors in the countryside and barefoot doctors became the main guarantee of medical care at the time, but this guarantee was minimal.

Han Yu said, "The moxibustor Shi Aizhu is as cool as a fire." "Moxibustion Aitu" vividly and truly depicts the mundane scene of the villagers in the township to treat diseases for the farmer. It showed Li Tang's in-depth observation and rich experience of rural life at that time, and also showed his sympathy for the working people at the time. Editor / Zhao Yongjing
