Back then, when we were on the front line of the Laoshan Mountains participating in defense operations against Vietnam, my partner would often tell me stories about his grandfather in his spare time. It was said that his grandfather was a famous local traditional Chinese medicine doctor of gynecology and pediatrics, who could accurately determine whether a pregnant woman was carrying a boy or a girl just by taking her pulse. The story he told me left a deep impression on me.

Then I married my ex-wife, who was pregnant with a child. Of course, at that point in time it should still be referred to as a wife. Although we didn't really care whether it was a son or a daughter, we always wanted to know the gender of the child early. At least we could get a suitable name for the child in advance, right? So, we went to the hospital and found an acquaintance to do an ultrasound and asked her to help identify the gender of the child.

In those days, although it was already stipulated that hospitals were not allowed to identify the sex of a child through ultrasound, acquaintances would secretly tell each other. After the ultrasound, the doctor quietly told us that my wife was probably pregnant with a daughter. But at the same time, he also said that in general, if the ultrasound test finds that the baby is a son, the accuracy rate will be slightly higher, about 90% or more. If it is a daughter, the accuracy rate is only about 70%. The doctor suggested that we go to an old Chinese medicine practitioner named Chen to have our pulse checked. According to her, Dr. Chen's pulse was so accurate that even the doctors and family members of the hospital would go to Dr. Chen for a pulse reading if they were pregnant with a child.

At that time, I immediately remembered the story my partner had once told me about his grandfather. I took my wife with me and found this old Chinese medicine practitioner surnamed Chen at the place pointed out by the doctor I knew. The old Chinese doctor was very kind and only charged three dollars for a pulse. When he took my wife's pulse, he said that the fetus was developing well and that she just needed to take some precautions, so there was no need to get any more medicine.

At that time, I was too shy to ask the sex of the child, but my wife asked him if he could tell whether it was a child or a girl. Dr. Chen smiled and asked, "Do you want it to be a child? I immediately replied, "It's the same whether it's a child or a girl, but I prefer a daughter. Dr. Chen smiled again and said, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, your lover is pregnant with a son.

Since my partner had previously told me that Chinese medicine practitioners could tell whether the pulse was a man or a woman, I was particularly curious and asked Dr. Chen for advice on how to identify a man and a woman. Perhaps Dr. Chen saw that I was a kindred spirit and patiently explained to me the pulse signs of the Joyful Pulse for half a day. For example, the Pleasant Pulse is a slippery pulse, which is like a "jade disk walking on a pearl" and so on. He also taught me how to take my wife's pulse as an example. He also told me that the difference between male and female pulse is the difference between left and right pulse, and the difference is that male is left and female is right.

When I heard about the left side of the male and the right side of the female, I always thought that it was only for the purpose of dividing the area, such as dividing the toilets, dormitories, etc., and artificially stipulated the orientation. I didn't realize that in Chinese medicine theory, the left side of the male and the right side of the female are also the physiological characteristics of human beings themselves.

After listening to Dr. Chen's explanation, I really had the feeling of being enlightened, although still half-understood, but more or less still remembered some skills. Only, at that time, the ultrasound showed that it was a daughter, and Dr. Chen said that it was a son, so my wife and I were at a loss, so we had to prepare two names at the same time and wait for the child to be born later. Later, my ex-wife did give birth to my eldest son.

Then later, I went to study at an army political science academy. Once I went to the street with a few classmates, and at noon we chose a relatively clean restaurant for lunch. When we were eating, we saw that we were served by a young woman with a big belly, who was presumably the daughter of the owner of the restaurant. Seeing this, I joked and said, "Come, come, come, I'll take your pulse and see if it's a boy or a girl. Following the method taught by old Dr. Chen, I told this woman that she was carrying a son! Who knows, this woman even excitedly asked me, are you telling the truth? I said half jokingly and half seriously, of course it is true, I have studied with a famous teacher. Moreover, also pretended to tell her some precautions, let her pay attention to keep the fetus.

We thought it was just a joke, but it wasn't long before the owner of the restaurant came in with a bottle of wine to toast us. At that time, we all thought it was just a businessman trying to get closer to his customers. Who knows, the boss repeatedly asked me if my pulse was reliable? As for me, I also took advantage of the strength of the wine, the sea of Chinese medicine theory nonsense, the boss said a flabbergasted. To the checkout to leave, the boss not only gave us a discount, but also said, if my daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and then we go to his place to eat, he will be free of charge. It was only then that we realized that the pregnant woman was the daughter-in-law of the restaurant owner.

After one or two months, I went to the street with three other classmates to play again. When it was noon, I remembered that the restaurant we ate at last time tasted good, so I took them there. After we ordered the food, when we were served, we found that the waiter actually brought up many dishes that we had not ordered. At that time, we thought, bad, this is encountered "black store", this is not forced to buy and sell it? Immediately called the waiter to question, we did not order these dishes, why should we force on us? The waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry about eating it, it's a gift from the owner of the restaurant. What? Gift to us? Is the restaurant owner supporting the military?

At this time, I saw the owner of the restaurant came in smiling and said to us, this meal by his treat. At that time, several of us were puzzled, we are not relatives, why invite us to dinner ah? Later, the boss said that his daughter-in-law had already given birth to a big fat boy. It was then that I remembered that I had taken his daughter-in-law's pulse last time.

That day, the owner of the restaurant stayed at the table and drank with us, saying that he was very happy and gave us a detailed introduction to his family and thanked me profusely!

It turned out that the boss's family had five generations of single-parent families in his generation, and six generations in his son's generation, so the family was determined to have a boy. After his son and daughter-in-law got married, they had a good relationship and the daughter-in-law was very understanding. But it was on the question of having children that there was a disagreement.

It was said that before that, the boss's daughter-in-law had been pregnant with two children, but the ultrasound examination said that she was pregnant with a daughter, so she was induced to have an abortion. This child is the third child conceived by her daughter-in-law, but when she went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, it still said that she was pregnant with a daughter. The owner's parents insisted that their grandson's daughter-in-law go for an induced abortion, or else they would force their grandson and daughter-in-law to divorce. But the doctor said that once the operation was done again, the woman would risk losing her eligibility to be a mother forever, and the daughter-in-law's family insisted that their daughter should not be allowed to have another induced abortion. Just when the whole family was at loggerheads over this matter, they happened to meet me, the "miracle doctor", and the boss's family made the decision to have the baby. Now, as I said, they have given birth to a big fat boy. And according to my instructions to keep the fetus, the child was born very healthy, they are naturally very grateful to me.

I didn't realize that this half-baked level of mine had become a miracle doctor in their eyes! This is enough to make me both flutter and laugh at the same time!

After the meal that day, we insisted on paying the bill, but the owner insisted on not charging, and hoped that I would have to eat at his place every weekend from now on. At that time, we felt quite embarrassed, but we could only eat a white meal and wipe our mouths and leave.

When I went out on the street again, I didn't dare to go in that direction for fear that I would be dragged by the owner's family to eat for free. But who would have thought, after a month or so, I received a phone call at school, the restaurant owner called, I do not know where he asked about our school phone, had to let me go to his place to eat on weekends. To the weekend had to be cheeky, with a few students to his place to eat and drink. After that, as long as more than a month I do not go over, the restaurant owner will call. During this period, I have taken the happy pulse for some of his relatives and friends several times. Hey, I'm sorry, but I got them all right by mistake. In this way, with these three strokes and two styles, I actually eat and drink for nearly two years. When I graduated, the boss also stuffed me with many local specialties.

Now twenty-seven, eight years have passed, during this period also had a lot of happy pulse, I should say that the accuracy is much higher than ultrasound, as far as I can remember seems to have been wrong only once, and because of the time drunk. Over the years, I have also met several young people studying Chinese medicine, I taught them this only trick, but they are more professional than me, more proficient. Today, they still call me "Master"! Hey, hey, shame on you! Shame on you!

After my mother gave birth to two daughters and two sons, she was sterilized. Unexpectedly, my second brother, whom she loved the most, fell into a flood dam and drowned when he was seven years old.

My mom was heartbroken and almost went crazy. Every day I read: "God is not long-eyed, my baby is wrongfully dead ah, my poor baby ah, mom to be able to regenerate, you must also be reincarnated to me ah ......".

My father just shook his head and sighed, "How can you have a baby when you're all tied up? You should stop talking nonsense. At least we still have three children."

In the early 80's, medical technology was not well developed, and it was impossible for a woman to have another child if she was sterilized. My mom was in a trance for four years, and at the age of 32, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her body, she was weak, nauseous, had no appetite, and had no more menstrual period.

She thought she was sick, so she went to the village doctor, who said it was probably a bad stomach and indigestion, and gave her some appetizing medicine. My mom told my dad that she thought the symptoms were very similar to those of her previous pregnancies, and my dad said she was crazy and talking nonsense, how could she get pregnant again after her sterilization? After that, he went out of town with a friend to do business.

More than two months passed and my mom felt her stomach getting worse and worse, so she went back to the town health center.

The old dean also knows Chinese medicine, but after he took the pulse, he shook his head and said that since the ligature is tied, it is impossible to be pregnant, and that the stomach swelling for no reason is not a good symptom, and that it is necessary to go to the hospital for a proper examination and treatment, so as not to delay a minor illness into a serious illness.

When my mom heard that she was scared, she hurriedly asked someone to write a letter to my dad who was out of town, so that he could come back quickly. When my dad came back, he didn't send my mom to the hospital right away, but listened to a friend's introduction and took my mom to a neighboring town to visit an old Chinese doctor named Wang.

Although Dr. Wang was a barefoot doctor, he was very prestigious and his medical skills were well recognized. After taking my mom's pulse, he said with certainty, "This is definitely a pregnancy! Don't go to any doctor or take any medicine in the future. Just go home and take good care of the baby."

My parents didn't really believe it. My dad said how can a person still be pregnant when they've been sterilized for four years?

Dr. Wang smiled, "How can things in this world be so absolute? The pulse I took is really a happy pulse, and after practicing medicine for so many years, it's absolutely not wrong. If you really don't believe me, you guys can go to a big hospital for a checkup."

My dad wanted to take my mom to the hospital for a second look, but my mom didn't want to go, she was overjoyed, and she revered and loved that Dr. Wang - he was such a prestigious doctor, could he be wrong?

Sure enough, a few months later, my mom gave birth to my brother. The whole village was amazed and talked about it like a strange story. A lot of people whispered that my father must have paid for the birth by some means.

My mom loved children, and she hoped that she would have another son or daughter in the future, but since she gave birth to my brother, her stomach has never moved again. How in the world did it happen, to this day it is mind-boggling to say.

Dr. Wang's pulse was very accurate, but he was not accurate about the sex of the child. When he took my mom's pulse, he said it might be a girl, but the baby was born a boy. I think being able to accurately take a happy pulse is already amazing. I wonder if you've ever seen an old Chinese doctor who can accurately take the gender of a child?

I think it's particularly accurate.

I have not been pregnant for three years after marriage. Went to a lot of hospitals, did a lot of treatment, the cost also spent tens of thousands of dollars, suffered a lot of crime, are not pregnant, and then inquired about a retired old man, and was rehired by the hospital, half-day clinic, reputation is very good, and so the name to go.

In fact, the heart has long been desperate, are ready to divorce with the husband of the idea, but also told my sister, if I have no children in this life, when I die, so that her children to pay homage to my grave. At that time, people were really desperate.

The oldest doctor checked my pulse and said I didn't have much of a problem. To adjust a little can, at that time I want to get up and go, if there is no problem, how can three years have not been pregnant! But see her white hair, in the respect for the elderly, insisted on listening to the end of the diagnosis, back to the medicine was I threw aside, did not intend to eat, or my husband boiled me, persuade me to drink, the results of a few days to drink, really feel more comfortable, because it is the medicine to regulate the body. So adhere to it.

Drink full of a month, the period did not come, nausea and vomiting every day. I was not allowed to menstruate, my stomach is not good, often so I did not take it seriously, and then time for a follow-up, I said my situation, said to prescribe me some medicine for the stomach, the boss doctor did not say anything, but just took my pulse very seriously. Finally, he looked up and said, "You're pregnant, and I've got a happy pulse. My first reaction was to laugh out loud, how can it be, only a month of Chinese medicine ah, so magical? The boss let me go to test a pregnancy test strip I do not test, let me go to the blood test, I also do not go, a bite, not pregnant, can not be pregnant, is not possible! I also strongly requested that I be prescribed medication to treat my stomach, the boss looked at me with a determined attitude, and took out the case for me to sign, I clearly remember that it reads: the patient strongly denies her pregnancy, and requests that medication be prescribed. The patient strongly denied her pregnancy and asked for medication. The patient is responsible for all consequences. I signed it right away and went home with my medicine.

I came back and drank three pairs of Chinese herbs, and my period had not yet come, so I muttered in my heart, Murphy? So I took out the pregnancy test strip and took a test, two bars, for five minutes, my whole body was confused, my brain was blank. The first double bar in my life! I still didn't believe it, didn't believe my eyes! The next day I went back to the hospital to have my blood drawn, and when I saw the results, I was completely convinced that I was really pregnant, three years! I bawled ...... during this period suffered, suffered gossip, too prickly.

Later I made a banner, a fruit basket, and a big bouquet of flowers and sent them to my boss lady to express my gratitude. I thanked her for letting me become a mom and for her excellent medical skills. By the way, the old doctor told me that the last medicine she gave me was actually a birth control medicine, not a medicine for stomach problems, which I strongly requested. She said that although I strongly denied that I was pregnant, she knew it and how strongly I wanted to have a baby, so thank you again for the good doctor I met.

Our office has a small girl menstruation is not good, has been in a Chinese medicine hospital to drink Chinese medicine to regulate menstruation, the office of another girl who just got married that she is very afraid of the cold, also want to drink Chinese medicine to regulate and then prepare for pregnancy, and the previous girl to go to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, the results of that the doctor took half a day to ask the pulse of the married you? She said the knot, the doctor said you seem to be pregnant, she said no, it is impossible to do with contraceptive measures, her husband is ready to quit smoking and drinking a year after the child, the doctor said to look at it again, it seems to be pregnant, told her to go to test, she went home to test with the test paper to measure the absence of pregnancy, and then the next day to go to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, people still say that it seems to be pregnant, told her to go to the blood test, the results of the results of the blood test results out of the suspicion that the pregnancy, after a week! The next day, she went to the Chinese medicine practitioner again and was told to take a blood test.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners can indeed check whether a woman is pregnant or not, and they can also check whether the pregnancy is a boy or a girl when the pregnancy reaches a sufficient number of months! I do believe this, because it happened to me. My maternal grandfather is a very famous local Chinese medicine practitioner, in the hospital Chinese medicine department when the patient is a constant stream of patients, come, he is good at gynecology. Around the relatives and friends, many people let him take the pulse whether he can test the boy or girl, the results are accurate, which makes me feel the most magical is a pregnant woman (eight years, ultrasound is not as popular as it is today) to let him take the pulse to know the boy or girl, he told the people are twins, and finally did give birth to twins! Chinese medicine theory is the Chinese civilization for a long time, unique and independent of the outside of the theoretical system, it is difficult to use modern science to correspond to explain, but also very complex theory. However, even if the current science and technology can not be a good interpretation of the theory of Chinese medicine, I think the future will eventually be able to prove the scientific nature of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is also a part of science! Nowadays, there are too few Chinese medicine practitioners who really understand and master the theory of Chinese medicine, and who are able to argue well! Modern people should inherit the Chinese medicine left to us by our ancestors and carry it forward for the benefit of mankind!

I have been married for more than two years without getting pregnant, I was determined to go to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the results of the doctor (not old, more than 50 years old), a pulse, said you may be pregnant, I do not believe it ah, menstruation has not been the right month it can be put out of it? He said there should be no problem and I should try with a test strip in a few days! Now my son is over 10 years old. If I had met a quack, I would have been in deep shit!

When I was just one month pregnant, I went to the Chinese medicine doctor I often see, before I told him, he said I was pregnant, and it was a son, and gave me a few pairs of medicines to protect the fetus, and then I didn't feel bad during the whole pregnancy, I didn't vomit or feel nauseous, and the baby was really a boy!

In my pregnancy four and a half months, because the body is not comfortable, go to the old Chinese medicine pulse, he took the pulse and asked me what the first child, I said it is a son, he said that congratulations on your children and daughters, in fact, at that time, I have already photographed ultrasound said that it is a daughter, I said it is already checked, the old Chinese medicine, said that I've been over the years to take the pulse, that is, to check the male and female, there is only one did not put the right one! Really Chinese medicine is really profound [praise].

I think our country's TCM doctors are very accurate in taking a happy pulse.

Let's take my personal example. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, I was a little nauseous and sick to my stomach and had no energy because I was young and didn't know any better.

My mother-in-law said I had a cold, and my husband's sister-in-law said that there was an old man in the food market who was a Chinese medicine practitioner and had a very accurate pulse, so she wanted me to go with her to take a look.

The next morning, my sister-in-law and I went to the big food market together. That old Chinese doctor was probably in his sixties and hale and hearty.

He asked me what was wrong, so I said I had a cold, and he said to take my pulse.

As soon as he took the pulse, he told me that I was not suffering from cold, but was pregnant, and it was a happy pulse. I didn't believe him at all and said that ten days ago, I was still pregnant.

But he said, without question, that it was definitely a happy pulse, and that it was a happy one. If it's not a boy by then, you can come and smash his desk.

I was also given a prescription for a medicine that he doesn't sell and told me to get it from a Chinese pharmacy.

A prescription was charging 20 bucks at the time, and pork cost about 2 bucks a pound at that time.

The results later spoke for themselves, I was pregnant with my oldest son.

Therefore, I think Chinese medicine practitioners are 100% accurate in taking the pulse of joy, and I hope that our Chinese medicine culture will be passed on properly.

I had heart trouble when I was six months pregnant and got a prescription from a reliable herbalist, I asked him if it was a boy or girl and he said the right pulse was strong, I said if it was a girl and he nodded! A particularly low-key boss! She turned out to be a real girl! She is now seven years old! The aunts all said I was pregnant with a boy! Haha, Chinese medicine is really amazing!
