Brief introduction of Hui medicine (Zhang's bone setting therapy of Hui medicine)

Applicant: Wuzhong City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region

Hui medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. Hui medicine has a long history. It is the crystallization of ancient Arabian medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and other ethnic medicine in the western regions. However, it retains the medical experience, spices and cultural characteristics of Hui nationality. Hui medicine is an important representative work of Hui medicine in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The original book has 36 volumes, but only 4 volumes remain. In recent years, published works such as Chinese Hui medicine, a brief history of Hui medicine, the profound meaning of Hui medicine, and Hui medicine materia medica have made a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to Hui medicine. Huihui prescription (fragmentary volume) also has a better textual research version. These works have laid a foundation for the inheritance and development of Hui medicine.

Hui medicine has unique theory and experience in health care, medical skills, fragrant medicine application and dietotherapy. Many health customs, diagnosis and treatment technology and dietotherapy experience have been inherited and applied by Hui people.

Zhang's Huiyi orthopedic therapy is a traditional Orthopedic manipulation, such as pulling, reduction, and closing. It adopts the world-famous Huihui Jiegu, Jinchuang and other self-made secret prescriptions, and uses self-made materials (including small splints) for external fixation. It does not need surgery, plaster, metal puncture and traction to treat fracture, joint dislocation and other bone diseases.

Zhang's Huiyi orthopedic therapy is the clinical experience and medical experience of Zhang's generations in the clinical practice of bone injury in ethnic minority areas. Its curative effect is remarkable, its characteristics are obvious, and it has distinct nationality, folk and regional characteristics. Zhang's bone setting therapy will have a positive and far-reaching impact on the establishment and improvement of the Hui medical system in the motherland, the service of traditional folk medicine technology to the public, especially the rural people, and the improvement of the public health level.

The bone setting therapy of Zhang's Hui medicine is only inherited by his family among the people, and many treatment experiences and prescriptions can not be systematically explored and sorted out, let alone summarized and summarized in words. Due to the long-term maintenance of individual investment and family inheritance, it is difficult to form the scale it should have, so the bone setting therapy of Zhang's Hui medicine needs to be protected.
