What happened when plagues struck in ancient times?

In ancient times there was a plague.

After that, there will be a large number of deaths, and if there is only one village in a village, the whole village may be infected, and the protective measures are not as good as in modern times, and ancient people will also choose to move away from there and live in another place.

After the plague occurred in ancient times, basically the plague did not spread too far, and when the infected refugees died, the plague was even controlled.

In ancient times, if there was a plague, there would be a local ** doctor to confirm it, and if it was indeed a plague, it would be immediately isolated**.

In ancient times, this usually happened and often led to the death of many people, after all, the ancient medical technology was not very advanced, and most people would be killed.

In ancient times, there was no good way to do it, but the common people could only worry about the sky and go with the flow.

I think it's common to lock down villages, leave the people inside to fend for themselves, and then burn them down.

Plagues through the ages. Later, due to the abandonment of the land for a period of time, each region is prone to famine, especially the peasants who can't accept the good ** because of the bad economy, resulting in a shortage of agricultural labor, and some wars, not because of grabbing food or because of the opportunity to annex, and some plagues are transformed into other epidemics or plagues in the later stage, because the corpses of many people who died due to the plague were not disposed of in a timely and reasonable manner.

In addition, because of the plague, if the leaders do not deal with it properly, the people will easily revolt and overthrow the regime because they are angry and angry, and some will die because they can't hold on.

Successive plagues have been followed by economic depression and social unrest. There is even a collapse of faith and war.

03.Of course, there are also some caring people who will find a way to try to cure the disease with the herbs dispatched by the imperial court. At that time, Su Shi set up a "passing ward" to conduct ** for isolated patients.

Wu Youxing, a famous medical scientist, also studied plague for a long time and wrote a new "Treatise on Plague". Therefore, books such as "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" actually have a very wide range of application significance and are very popular among medical professionals. The imperial physician in the palace may sometimes go to the consultation, hoping to find the source of the plague and the effective way of **.

04.Although it may not be possible to have patients, they will find a way to bury the deceased in a centralized manner. This will prevent the spread of the virus and stabilize people's morale. More advancedly, water sources will also be monitored in a timely manner to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Usually the magistrate arranges for the doctor to treat him first, and if the effect of the treatment is not very successful, and the mortality rate is very high and fast, the place will be sealed off and left to fend for himself.

Once the epidemic is discovered, it will be reported to the imperial court quickly, and medical officials will be sent to treat it in a timely manner, and the national treasury resources will be used to collect medicinal materials from all over the country and send them to the epidemic area, and the patient will be isolated**, once the patient dies, the government will pay to bury the deceased, prevent the spread of the virus, and stabilize the situation and people's hearts.

In ancient China, the method of isolation was generally adopted, and then Chinese medicine was used to infect people with the plague.

When the plague broke out, the magistrate would report to his superiors, and then the people suffering from the plague would be isolated, and the imperial court would send doctors to treat them, and if they died of the plague, the imperial court would pile up these corpses together and burn them.

In ancient times, there were many plagues, and in the past, these infectious ones were called epidemics, and the time was extremely short and not serious, and they were called epidemics. It occurs for a long time, and it is quite serious, and after the infection, the body temperature will rise significantly, which becomes the "warm" plague.

In ancient times, infectious diseases were also common, and there were many, many records about infectious diseases in ancient times. A total of 772 years of plagues of varying severity have been recorded in various historical records, which can be seen in the frequency of plagues. This does not include plagues that are not documented due to missing information or other reasons.

There are many reasons for the emergence of plagues, and the underdeveloped technology in ancient times will lead to considerable disasters for the occurrence of epidemics. The people have gradually figured out a set of rules for the occurrence of the plague. These patterns include periods of frequent plague outbreaks and the slow decline of plagues.

According to our 24 solar terms, the records of the most likely start of the plague and the subsidence of the plague are used as a reference. That is, this old saying is called: the plague begins with heavy snow, begins on the winter solstice, is born in a small cold, flourishes in the beginning of spring, is weaker than rain, and declines in sting.

This folk saying about the plague is about the entire development process of the plague.

1. In 196 A.D., according to Zhang Zhongjing's book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", external fever and the fierce infectious diseases at that time were collectively called "typhoid fever", and two-thirds of the people who contracted typhoid fever died, which shows the seriousness of the epidemic at that time.

2. In 217 A.D., the epidemic of warp, according to the record of Cao Zhi's "Saying Epidemic Qi", the warren caused the death of many people, and some even wiped out the whole clan, which depicts the tragic situation at that time in detail. The anger was caused by the wrong time of cold and summer, but the common people at that time believed in ghosts and gods, which shows the ignorance of the people at that time.
