In a workshop in Xiyang City, craftsmen were busy. The things they made were a bit special, not daily necessities or military supplies, but something related to medicine - the human skull.

From adults to children, from men to women, there are all kinds of skulls of all kinds, and the entire workshop is full of yin energy, just like the purgatory on earth.

Where do these things come from? It’s very simple, the death row prisoner who tramples on the road and no one collects the body, that’s all.

The structure of the human body has always been a field that doctors want to explore but is a taboo. No one wants his or her relatives' bodies to be dissected and put into a skeleton.

Digging graves is even more impossible. No one wants their relatives or ancestors to be insulted like this. Therefore, since ancient times, the exploration of human body structure has been stagnant, and it has not been made until now.

To be precise, this breakthrough was made in Huangzhou, and the government allowed it to try "research", and the subject of the research was first the uninhibited corpse.

The production process is hindered by the viewing process, which is naturally not worthy of being outsiders. After many trials, the craftsmen's "craftsmanship" becomes more exquisite, and the completeness of the "finished products" produced reaches 100%.

"Please look at Changshou Gong. This is the skull of an adult man. It has not been traumatized and there are no cracks in the skull."

A man over fifty years old was looking at a skull. The skull was placed in a paint plate, and two black eye holes were staring at the person in front of him. If an ordinary person saw it, his legs would be shaking, but in his opinion, there was no difference between it and the skulls of pigs, horses, cows and sheep.

He looked at the mouth of the skull, stared at the teeth for a moment, turned his head to look at the man in the soapy clothes beside him and asked, "This person is about thirty years old?"

"The Changshou Gong has good eyesight. This person was twenty-nine and eight months before his life."

People's teeth will wear out when eating, and ordinary people eat coarse grains, so the wear is even more serious. Experienced people can determine the approximate age of the other person's teeth wear.

Who will have experience? The tester or the doctor.

The so-called tester is a coroner or official in charge of autopsy in the government office. These people have ancestral skills and have been experiencing autopsy for many years, so they have a very vicious vision.

Not all doctors can do this, and ordinary doctors cannot use this skill, because studying dead teeth is meaningless. Only famous doctors who are skilled in medicine and want to go to the next level will continue to study the secrets of the human body.

The man in soap clothes was a corpse of the state yamen. He had been verified for decades. The man, who was over 50 years old, was the second son of Yao Sengyuan, a famous doctor of a generation, and Yao Zui, Duke of Changshou County.

"Kid Changshou, please look here. This skull is a woman's head. Compared with the male skull, there is nothing special about it. In other words, both male and female skulls are the same structure, and there are not many or fewer bone blocks."

"This is natural, not only the skull, but also the ribs on the body."

Yao Zui and the official talked about human bones without any discomfort, just like the people who bought pork ribs from the butcher, commenting on the quality of bones.

There are twenty-nine pieces of human skulls, including eight pieces of brain skulls, including parietal bone, temporal bone, frontal bone, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, etc.

Fifteen facial and skulls, including tear bones, zygomatic bones, palatal bones, lower nasal turbinate bones, maxillary bones, nasal bones, plow bones, hyoid bones, mandibular bones, etc., a total of twenty-three pieces...

There are three other pairs of auditory bones located in the middle ear tympanum inside the temporal bone, which totals 29 pieces.

Everyone is "insiders" and they are very good at talking about skulls. Yao's most knowledge was taught by his father. He treasured a complete skull in his family. The official relied on the knowledge passed down from his ancestors and decades of "actual operation".

This kind of knowledge is a bit shameful. After all, discussing the topic of human bones in public will make people feel like they are a human-cannibal evil spirit, but the situation is slightly different now.

With the consent of the imperial court, Huangzhou Prefecture Office can organize semi-publicly to study the structure of the human body. Of course, the source of the human body can only be the death row prisoners who have no one to collect the corpse, and there are also the uninhibited corpses.

Even so, every corpse is hard to come by. First, it is dissected to understand the structure of the human body, and then the dissected corpse must be "delete the flesh" and left behind the bones for teaching purposes.

There are separate skulls and complete human skeletons. There are three sets of human skeletons in the room, which are supported by wooden frames and look like skeletons.

Yao Zui walked to a skeleton and carefully looked at it from head to toe. The knowledge of human structure taught by his father was no longer illusory but "physical", and it was no longer so difficult to understand.

"Changshou Gong, after carefully counting it, the whole body of adults is 200,6, regardless of male or female. It can be divided into three parts: skull, trunk bone and limb bone. Among them are 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones."

The official told the story that he had studied many human bones and was considered to be "a lot of knowledge", so even in front of Yao Ji, who had a much higher status, was not nervous.

"There are a few more bones in the young children, about 217, and as for babies, there are more than 300."

Yao Zui nodded. Although he had not counted it himself, his father had already taught him this knowledge. "The baby's sacrum has not healed, so there are a few more pieces. What about other extra bones?"

"The baby has a few more coccyx, as well as ilium, ischium and pubic bone, and will eventually merge into the hip bone."

Yao Zui didn't accept it immediately. He looked at the bones of a baby carefully, then looked at the bones of an adult, and finally nodded: "With this skeleton, it's clear at a glance!"

"Mr. Changshou said that, not to mention anything else, just learn how to reduce dislocation. After reading this human skeleton, apprentices can learn twice the result with half the effort. If they treat bone injuries such as fractures, they will also know a lot in their hearts."

While talking, the two walked out of the room, and there was a strange smell in the air. The two knew the source of the smell, so they walked out of the yard without stopping.

Yao Zui took a carriage and went to Zhouxue. He was near Zhouxue at the bottom of Xiyang City, and was next door to his old friend Liu Zhuo.

He learned his medical skills later, and he became a monk halfway through the journey. Compared with medical skills, Yao was the best at studying, which was the reason. He was a good friend of Liu Zhuo, one of the two Lius.

Yao Zui's father Yao Sengyuan was a native of Liang in the Southern Dynasty. He served as the imperial physician of Liang. During the Hou Jing's rebellion, he avoided the disaster of Jiangling. Later, the Western Wei attacked Jiangling and moved all the civil and military officials of Liang and the people in the city north. Yao Sengyuan and his second son Yao Sengyuan came to Chang'an.

Yao Sengyuan's name as a miracle doctor was resounding throughout the country and was highly respected in the Zhou Kingdom. At first, Yao did not take the lead in his father's business, but became famous for his talent and knowledge. He was a subordinate of King Yuwen Xian of the Qi Dynasty of Zhou Kingdom at that time, and took the path of learning.

Later, Yuwen Xian reported to the emperor that Yao Zuizi took the stepfather's business. From then on, he began to learn medical skills from his father and was good at his skills.

When the war broke out in the second year of the elephant, Yao was in Hebei and was thousands of miles away from his father who lived in Chang'an. His brother Yao Cha had been in the Southern Dynasty, and none of the two brothers were by Yao Sengyuan.

At the beginning of that year, Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun was assassinated and seriously injured. Yao Sengyuan tried his best to save his life. Later, due to exhaustion of energy and health, he died of illness at the end of the year. When news came, Yao was heartbroken but could not attend the funeral.

This time the official army recovered Chang'an, Yao Zui planned to return to Chang'an to visit his father's grave. His friend Liu Zhuo taught in Xiyang, Huangzhou. He specially stayed in Xiyang City for a few days before the situation in Guanzhong was stable, but he got on a pirate ship when he lived there.

The human blood vessel distribution diagram, the human skeleton structure diagram, and the human internal organ distribution diagram, these are the three drawings that the workshop is preparing to produce. Yao, who is proficient in medical skills, knows best what this means to those who study medicine.

With these three pictures, the structure of the human body is clear at a glance, which can greatly promote the development of medical skills. How many people can benefit from it, and how many people can survive?
