Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Teacher Jiang Ning, you taught this class very well."

"Yes, Teacher Jiang Ning, after listening to your Li Shizhen and the experience of writing "Compendium of Materia Medica", I deeply realized how precious the words written by our ancestors are. We can see these The ancient books of the sages should be so lucky."

"Unfortunately, many have not been preserved."

Although the third period of class was over, a group of students surrounded Jiang Ning and were unwilling to leave.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, I am studying medicine. Can I ask, is there any Compendium of Materia Medica published on the market?"

At this time.

A medical student looked at Jiang Ning excitedly.

This student studies Chinese medicine.

But actually.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down to this day, but it is increasingly alienated by the public.

Many times people will see Chinese medicine. That’s because Western medicine can’t help, and then they think of Chinese medicine.

The reason.

In this regard, there are problems inherent in Chinese medicine itself.

But there are also issues with the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.

Many times, the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance is not done well enough.

Many Chinese medicine books have either disappeared or have not been preserved.

This also brings great difficulties to future generations in learning Chinese medicine.

Although this student has not read the Compendium of Materia Medica mentioned by Jiang Ning, it is according to what Jiang Ning said.

This is an encyclopedia of Materia Medica of traditional Chinese medicine.

This has a huge promoting effect on the current field of traditional Chinese medicine.

"There is currently no Compendium of Materia Medica available on the market."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "However, in the later stage, I will sort it out and then publish it."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, that means you also have an original copy?"

"Ah."

"Which version is it? Is it the Jinling version you are talking about?"

"There are all kinds of versions."

"Oh my god, can you show us this?"

"This is inconvenient."

Jiang Ning shook his head.

The unique copy is in Jiang Ning's mind, so it is naturally impossible for everyone to visit it.

but.

A group of students asked again: "Teacher Jiang Ning, are you a collector?"

"why do you say so?"

"Otherwise, how could you have so many unique copies?"

"Well... maybe I'm lucky. I do have a lot of ancient books in this field."

After chatting with the students for a long time, Jiang Ning headed back home.

Simultaneously.

Jiang Ning also compiled various versions of "Compendium of Materia Medica" after returning.

Yes.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" does not just have one edition.

He has multiple editions.

In addition to the earliest Jinling version, he also has a series of other versions.

The reason why there are so many versions.

In fact, it is the same as what Li Shizhen said.

He compiled the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in order to revise the mistakes of his predecessors in the category of Materia Medica and create a more convenient classification of the compendium.

At the same time, some other herbs that have not been recorded by previous generations were also added, including even Western herbs.

But the Compendium of Materia Medica is really too big. Even if Li Shizhen spent 27 years compiling it and adding another 10 years to revise it, there are still certain errors in some aspects.

Therefore, later generations based on the Jinling version and revised it accordingly.

This led to a series of other versions.

even.

in the past.

Some modern people have also made certain revisions to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" based on the research on traditional Chinese medicine at that time.

For this.

Jiang Ning is not a medical student, so he doesn't particularly know which of these versions is stronger and which is weaker.

What he can do is to sort out this series of versions.

It took a week.

Jiang Ning compiled various versions of "Compendium of Materia Medica".

At the same time.

He also found his previous bookseller and published the Jinling edition first.

As for other versions.

Jiangning will be posted online.

Simultaneously.

For the Jinling edition, Jiang Ning also gave an explanation of his understanding of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" before it was published.

This description.

That is to eliminate everyone's misunderstandings about "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Yes.

Take the previous life as an example.

Although "Compendium of Materia Medica" is well-known, it also has many errors.

Not only are there many errors, but there are also many folk remedies that everyone cannot understand.

This also leads to .

In the previous life, many people took the problems in the Compendium of Materia Medica and constantly attacked the Compendium of Materia Medica.

For example, take the folk remedies in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Some of the folk remedies here were used by Li Shizhen.

There are also some that Li Shizhen has never used but has heard of.

But whether it has been used or not, many of the folk remedies in it are simply inexplicable to modern people.

Some people even criticized some of the folk remedies in the Compendium of Materia Medica as feudal superstition.

For example, in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there are many folk remedies related to various feces.

Not just human feces, but other animal feces as well.

This makes a group of people continue to attack the Compendium of Materia Medica, saying that they are using this to disgust everyone.

In fact.

Although using feces as a folk remedy is not very popular, it actually has its scientific basis.

of course.

This is relatively easy to understand.

And there are some that are hard to understand.

For example, the clothes that the dutiful son has worn for three years are used as medicine guides.

Use the soil in front of the widow's bed to make medicine.

Jiang Ning did not expect that there was any scientific basis for this.

Jiang Ning didn't know whether these folk remedies were effective.

Therefore, if this aspect is not explained, it is easy for people to demonize the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

According to Jiang Ning's understanding.

The biggest reason why many people in previous generations misunderstood the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was the time.

Compendium of Materia Medica was written in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was hundreds of years away from modern times.

For hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty and modern times had different understandings of various aspects of traditional Chinese medicine.

Likewise, the units of measurement are also different.

This also caused many modern people in later generations to be unable to understand.

Furthermore.

Also because of the times.

Many people cannot understand the series of folk remedies in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

In fact, some of these folk remedies may seem unscientific, but they may not be without their truth.

Also.

Most of these folk remedies are based on experience, and many of them come from the hands of charlatans who travel the world.

Some of these doctors have good medical skills, while others have average medical skills but can treat some difficult and complicated diseases.

So they will have one or two such mysterious folk remedies.

But in order to travel around the world, they will not let their own remedies be mastered by others.

Therefore, the folk remedies they spread will have certain manipulations.

For example, some random medicines may be added to folk remedies to blind you so that you cannot understand them.Or make some very mysterious and mysterious statements, confusing the false with the true, and the true with the false.

At the same time, there were also some reasons due to the limited material conditions at that time.

Many doctors and doctors are faced with these strange diseases. Even if they know how to treat them, they may not have the right medicine.

There is no suitable medicine, but the disease still needs to be treated?

How to do?
The only option is to settle for less and use other drugs instead.

So this also caused certain misunderstandings.

same.

There are also some folk remedies that may not be useful.

but.

In ancient times, doctors had to live and cure diseases, so they could only come up with some prescriptions that would not kill people.

You say these prescriptions are useless, that’s not necessarily true.

Even though these doctors prescribed some seemingly useless prescriptions, he really cured people.

In modern parlance, that's a placebo.

When there is really no medicinal use, then take the medicine that will not kill you.And tell the patient that as long as you take these medicines, your disease will be cured.

miracly.

Some patients completely listened to the doctor's words and got their condition under control or even recovered.

This is a bit like Zhu Youshu.

In short.

Regarding Compendium of Materia Medica, this work should still be viewed dialectically.

The reason.

That's because of the limited times and conditions at that time, so there are things that seem difficult for modern people to understand.

……

"Everyone, Compendium of Materia Medica will be published in a few days. If you are interested in this book, you can check it out."

Jiang Ning sent the compiled version to the publisher, and then told the fans in the group.

As soon as Jiang Ning bubbled up, a group of fans came out instantly: "Teacher Jiang Ning, 666... ​​has published your unique book again."

"That's right, I don't know how many unique copies Teacher Jiang Ning has. We have to thank Teacher Jiang Ning. Without the unique copies collected by Teacher Jiang Ning, how could we see these books."

"But, Teacher Jiang Ning, we have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"

"If there's anything you shouldn't ask, just ask."

Jiang Ning felt a little strange: "You are still polite to me?"

"Okay then, let's just ask."

Testing, a fan asked: "Teacher Jiang Ning, where did these unique copies of yours come from?"

"This one……"

Jiang Ning had a headache.

This issue really gives me some headaches.

His only copies were all given by the system.

But he can't say it was given by the system.

We can't talk about the system, so where do these orphan copies come from? This is really a problem.

This world did not appear again.

Where did you change it?

"It's not easy to say."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ning said: "I can only say that I got these unique copies by chance."

"By chance, oh, I understand."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Remember to call us when the time comes."

"Why are you called?"

"I found an original copy by chance."

"How do you find an original copy by chance?"

"I mean, whenever you go to see Feng Shui, just call us."

"What does this have to do with Feng Shui?"

"Don't say it so clearly. If you say it again, it will be very offensive."

"What's going on? Please explain it clearly. I don't understand."

"Okay, you asked me to say it."

The fan said directly: "Teacher Jiang Ning, what I mean is, remember to inform everyone when we are going to dig the imperial tomb."

"I'll go dig the imperial tomb..."

Jiang Ning was stunned.

Where did these guys go?

How does the Compendium of Materia Medica relate to the excavation of imperial tombs?

blinked.

Looking at the replies from netizens, Jiang Ning understood.

these guys.

I thought I was a tomb robber.

have to.

Don't say it yet.

These netizens really think so.

if not?
Where did these orphan copies come from?
No one else has it, only you have it.

If the original copy wasn't stolen from the Emperor's Mausoleum, where did it come from?

of course.

If it were anyone else, maybe everyone wouldn't think so.

But who told Jiang Ning to teach everyone a series of Feng Shui knowledge when he was in Maoshan before?

This is not.

Today, the Maoshan Sect has become the authentic Feng Shui sect in the world.

I don’t know how many powerful people there are, and they often invite these Maoshan elders to go down the mountain to observe Feng Shui.

Although Feng Shui has nothing to do with tomb robbing.

But now that you understand Feng Shui, robbing tombs is a matter of minutes.

"You guys, where did you think you were? Why did I dig up the imperial tomb?"

"Let me stress it to you again, tomb robbing is illegal, yes, it is illegal."

"Also, looking at Feng Shui is also a feudal superstition, so don't believe it."

Jiang Ning said solemnly to the fans.

……

"Xiao Yang, I heard that "Compendium of Materia Medica" has been published?"

"Just published."

"Well, you will buy a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica" in a few days. I want to study it."

"Yes, Teacher Tu. But..."

"But what?"

"It seems that many people in the medical field don't think highly of this book."

“Oh, is there a problem with this book?”

"Yes. Many people in the medical field believe that there are many errors in this book, such as wrong measurement units, and many folk remedies that may not be effective. There are even many superstitions."

"Superstitious, haha... Hasn't Chinese medicine always been said to be superstitious by others?"

a research institute.

Teacher Tu, a Chinese medicine expert who is nearly 70 years old, shook his head helplessly.

"However, there are indeed many wrong prescriptions and ineffective prescriptions."

"Not necessarily."

Looking at his students, Teacher Tu said: "What we think is ineffective is just our current view. Moreover, it is not necessarily true whether it is really ineffective. If there is no effect, it will generally not be recorded in ancient books. It can The prescriptions that have been passed down have indeed achieved results in some cases. Perhaps, this effect is not as universal as what we say in modern medicine."

"But if it can't be popularized, what's the use?"

"Of course it works."

Teacher Tu continued: "Just like the various viruses and diseases we suffer in modern times, can our modern medicine be able to completely cure them?"

"Of course not."

"If it can't be cured, what should we do?"

"We can look for breakthroughs elsewhere."

"Tell me, where can I find a breakthrough?"

"Lao Tu, please don't embarrass me."

"Hahaha, it's not that I'm embarrassing you, it's that we have existing information, but we don't make good use of it, but we have doubts and doubts. This seems problematic, and the other feels unscientific. According to our modern science, the ancients They’re all dead a long time ago.”

Teacher Tu glared at the student, then picked up a medical book: "For example, this "Emergency Prescription" records that in the Jin Dynasty, a doctor cured malaria. The original text he wrote, A handful of Qinghao , soak it with two liters of water, wring out the juice, and drink it. Although this prescription may not be popular and may not be useful to everyone. But since this book records this prescription, it is obvious that this prescription had a certain effect at the time. . This gives us a good hint. If we can figure out the operating mechanism, maybe we can find a way to completely treat malaria."

Speaking of it.

Teacher Tu suddenly became excited: "Xiao Yang, let's go to the laboratory with me. I suddenly have a brand new idea." (End of Chapter)
