第11章 仲景诊病

据史学著作记载，张仲景遇到侍中王仲宣时，当时仲宣只有二十多岁，仲景对他说：“你得了病，到了四十岁眉毛会脱落，眉毛脱光半年之后将会死亡。”并告诉他，服药五石汤才能治好这个病。王仲宣嫌张仲景的话逆耳不恭，接受了他的药方却不听从劝告服药。过了三天，张仲景又见到王仲宣，问他服药了没有，仲宣回答已经服过了。张仲景说：“从您的面色症候来看，根本不像服过五石汤的样子，您为什么这样轻视自己的生命呢？”王仲宣仍然避而不答。

二十年后，仲宣的眉毛果然脱落，眉落后一百八十七天便去世了，就像仲景预言的那样。

A Story of Zhang Zhongjing

According to historical records,when the Privy Counselor Wang Zhongxuan was only 20 years old,he met Zhang Zhongjing,who told him that，"ou have got a disease.Your eyebrows will fall off when you're forty years old and in half a year you will die." He advised him to take Five Stone Decoction to cure the disease.Wang Zhongxuan felt it harsh to hear,so he just accepted the prescription without taking it.Three days later,Zhang Zhongjing met Wang Zhongxuan again and asked him whether he had taken the medicine,Zhongxuan lied that he had already taken the medicine.Zhang Zhongjing said，"udging from the symptom of your complexion,you haven't taken the decoction.Why do you take your own life so lightly?" Wang Zhongxuan fought shy of answering.

Twenty years later,Zhongxuan's eyebrows really fell off and died after 187 days.Zhang Zhongjing's prediction was demonstrated.
