Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Chinese government has always adhered to the principle of “people-oriented, life first”, strictly implemented the zero-clearing policy, and carried out large-scale nucleic acid testing in a series to find out the infected and cut off the transmission route to prevent the spread of the epidemic. A recent children’s book “Anti-epidemic for three thousand years: An ancient Chinese anti-epidemic story written for children” published by Nanjing University has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. The cover image of the book seems to have an image of the ancients “lifting the nose”.

Looking through the information, the illustration may be the “water seedling method” of the ancient people’s acne vaccination method to prevent smallpox, that is, the patient’s acne scab is ground into a fine powder, mixed with water to make a vaccine, wrapped in cotton and squeezed into the shape of a jujube nucleus and stuffed into the nostrils. .
