Rebirth in the 1960s, starting from Chinese medicine

"What is this?" Li Chu asked after taking the paper handed over by his daughter.

"As for the question about Chinese herbal medicines, please help me to answer them." After speaking, Wen Hui ran into the house.

"Sit down, Xiao Yi, this girl is still so crazy."

"Dad, Huihui and I went home during the day. My grandfather asked me to tell you that if you have nothing to do in the past two days, please come over once."

"Okay, I thought he was in the nursing home at first, but I didn't know he had gone back until it passed."

Speaking of which, Li Chu opened the paper that Wen Hui had just handed to him, and there was a question on it, the different positions of the roots of the herbs, and the different effects on the human body.

"Huh? Isn't this Huihui's character?"

"Oh, Dad, I know something. Huihui didn't ask this, she asked for a colleague."

"I said, if her handwriting is so soft, I should let her practice calligraphy again." Li Chu put the piece of paper on the table while talking, picked up the tea mug and drank it. Sip of water.

Shen Yi pursed his lips and smiled after hearing what the old man said.

Regarding calligraphy practice, he heard from his wife about the history of suffering when she was a child, saying that she, Wenxuan and Yueyue were often punished for writing too casually.

Who hasn't experienced that kind of experience when they were young, and all they want is to go out to play, so they just mess up their homework. It doesn't matter if they don't get seen, but as long as they are seen, it's over.

Li Chu's punishment for them is not to be beaten, but to throw you a book for you to copy, and when he is satisfied with the copy, you can stop.

The result of this is that the three of them all write beautifully. Now at home, Shen Yi dare not let his wife read what he wrote, because he is worried that she will laugh at his ugly handwriting.

As for showing it to the father-in-law, he was even more afraid. If such a big man was said a few more words, he would lose face.

Weng and his son-in-law sat in the yard and chatted for a while before Wen Hui came out of the house.

"Dad, Smelly Baby will be called Grandpa and Grandma now?"

"Well, I can call once or twice once in a while."

"Oh, I don't know when I can call you aunt."

"Just wait."

"Dad, you read this, tell me about it, and I'll pass it on to our colleagues later."

"Who is this, why study this?"

"Xiao Jing, from our research institute, they seem to be talking about pictographic thinking interpretation."

"I remember Suwen has this explanation about the root medicine of herbs."

"Dad, don't mention it, it's all written in classical Chinese, if you want to understand it, you have to learn how to punctuate sentences, what a hassle.

Make sure you're all right and interpret all the rubbings of ancient books in the library into vernacular Chinese, or else I want to check some information occasionally, and the content will be big.

Although there are several books with interpretations, the same book does not have the same meaning, and we don't know who is right and who is wrong. "

"What else?" Li Chu raised his brows and looked at Wen Hui.

"Yes, you don't go to the library very much now. There are several ancient books there, and I don't know who interpreted them. One of them has two versions, or two meanings. It is not rigorous at all. I don't know what they are. How did it get published, didn’t anyone proofread it?”

"Okay, I see. I'll go and have a look when I look back."

Li Chu didn't continue to ask any more questions, he just went over and looked around to find out.

He picked up the piece of paper on the table and looked at it again before saying, "The roots of herbs are more complicated to use, such as Angelica, do you know this medicine?"

Seeing his daughter nodding, he continued: "The head of the angelica goes up to invigorate the blood, the body of the angelica stays in the center and nourishes the blood, and the tail of the angelica goes down to break the blood. When many Chinese medicine prescribes medicines, the root is no longer very clear. However, the use of reeds and whiskers is still very particular.

For example, ginseng has a ginseng reed, because the nutrients of its roots need to be transported through the reed to the whole plant. Huihui, I didn’t take anything, can you imagine it? "

"Dad, is the ginseng you're talking about just the spot on the whole root of ginseng?"

"Yes, that's the one. It's called Shenlu, because the reed will transport nutrients upwards, so the reed has a strong upward effect, and even eating the reed can cause vomiting. When we use the root medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, The reeds are usually removed.

But ginseng is a relatively precious medicinal material, so you don’t just throw away the reeds, but keep them. If you meet a person with a weak constitution, if you want him to vomit, you dare not use those Ginseng reeds will be used for severe emetics.

And you are like a whisker, it is at the bottom of the root, when it is underground, it goes down hard and drills into the soil, so the whisker has the function of breaking through. "

Seeing his daughter listening seriously, Li Chu took a sip of water from the mug, and then continued, "Take licorice as an example, if you use it to blend various medicines, and you don't want it to be too sticky in the middle, you can use the licorice tip. It will go down a little faster.

Another example is blood in the urine and stinging pain when urinating. Generally, licorice tip is used, which can pass the urethra and play a cleaning role.

Chinese herbal medicine is so miraculous. It grows on the root of the same herb, and at different locations, it has different angles of life correction. If you want to analyze and measure this point with scientific components, you will have no way to analyze it, because Its ingredients are all the same. "

That's right, Wenhui nodded, just like the licorice mentioned just now, the licorice tip and the main body are the same, but it's like urinating, if you use the main body as medicine when you use medicine, it won't cure the disease at all .

And this situation can happen to every herbal medicine, which makes many people say it is unscientific.

"Ah..." Li Chu sighed, and stretched out his hand to caress the Great Sage lying beside his lap.

"The dispute between Chinese and Western medicine has been going on for nearly a hundred years, especially when Western medicine is more developed, Chinese medicine has suffered more and more ridicule, and even almost disappeared at certain times, but Chinese medicine is based on thousands of years of repeated practice and Passed down in validation, that's what it does."

"Dad, I believe that with your efforts, Chinese medicine will definitely be revived again." Li Wenhui shook her small fist while speaking.

"Me? Haha, I hope!"

He said so, but Li Chu understood that to accomplish this task is not much easier than ascending to heaven, especially in the past ten or twenty years, when those pharmaceutical companies discovered that Chinese herbal medicine had even begun to shake the foundation of their chemically synthesized medicines, It will do everything possible to discredit Chinese medicine.

Desperately supporting agents in China to attack Chinese medicine.

At that time, it will also make it difficult for Chinese medicine.

It does not rule out that there are many Chinese medicine doctors who dare to sit in the clinic without learning anything, and many patients and their families who don't know what to do, think that Chinese medicine is a deceptive thing.

Alas, there is a long way to go!
