Chapter 330 Metaphysical Chinese Medicine

"Strike first and you will be controlled by others. Strike later and you will be controlled by others."

Li Shimin deeply agreed with this, and he always followed this principle when he was the King of Qin and the Emperor.

"Strike others, not by others."

Li Jing appreciated this very much, and regarded it as the core of military struggle. If you want to win, you must strike others.

After reading the light curtain, Li Shimin and Li Jing found that people in later generations also care about this and call it seizing the initiative.

And until this moment, Li Shimin and Li Jing suddenly realized that the struggle for initiative in later generations might be quite fierce.

This struggle for initiative is no longer a simple struggle on the battlefield, but it might have expanded to all aspects.

Armament manufacturing, competition of theories, competition for business, and probably also include the struggle for farming skills.

There are even many areas that they have never heard of at this time, the struggle for initiative.

So Li Shimin was silent for a long time, looking at the road of sea power struggle in later generations, and finally sighed:

"If you don't want to be defeated by others, you have to be the first to act."

"Those who act later will be controlled by others, and those who don't act will become slaves and concubines, and be bullied by others."

"It's so vast, so vast."

Li Shimin sighed for a long time, and even the sacrificial items that he was always interested in seemed to be uninterested.

But Du Ruhui was still cautious, and he picked up a box that had been placed next to him as usual, and carefully placed it in front of the light curtain.

After bowing his hands, he looked up again, and the box had disappeared.

Li Shimin didn't care at all, because the things in the box were picked by him personally, and it could only be regarded as a little thought.

It was once a fine product provided by the Hu merchants, and he and Guanyin maid were amazed at its beauty, but now it is no longer useful.

At this time, he turned his head to the side:

"Next time, let Sun Yaowang write a prescription and see how it will be disassembled by future generations, how about that?"

Sun Simiao's face was full of surprise:

"Of course it would be great!"

This was not a whim of Li Shimin, he had seen all the hard work Sun Simiao had done in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

In today's Tang Dynasty, there were Fang Du in the civil affairs, and officials of all sizes in the three provinces and six ministries, and there were capable soldiers in the wars, and there were old generals who founded the Tang Dynasty, and generals who had not yet been crowned, such as Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian.

There was the Imperial Academy for academic research, and the General Works Academy for craftsmanship innovation.

Only in medicine, there were very few people in the Imperial Medical Bureau who could help Sun Simiao, and according to Sun Simiao, the difficulty of training medical students was even greater than that of classics masters.

So it was reasonable to help.

Looking at the smile on Sun Simiao's face, Li Shimin felt relieved.

Li Shimin believed that his development of medicine was the result of his careful consideration, so he thought that he should be recognized by his descendants, right?

As a result, when the light curtain slowly lit up again, Li Shimin saw two eye-catching things arranged by his descendants.

One was a glass bottle, which Li Shimin personally took out from the inner storehouse and put in the box.

The other was a thin piece of paper. He saw the words "Guizhi Decoction" and the three characters "Zhang Zhongjing" on it.

There was no doubt that it was a prescription.

So Sun Simiao became excited, hastily bowed to Li Shimin, and then went to find Yan Liben to borrow paper and pen, intending to copy it himself.

Li Shimin was left behind alone, with his mouth wide open.

…

Wen Mang is now accustomed to such a life.

Collect materials, make videos, publish them, and then wait to be fed and rewarded by the big guys.

After being notified by the courier today, the two things I took back were not big, which was a relief.

After all, now that he is running around in the name of collecting materials, it is a problem to carry things that are too big.

Fortunately, Dongfang Ye in Sichuan was considerate and took the initiative to rent a warehouse that was usually used to store cultural relics for Wen Mang at a friendly price, and gave him a professional door-to-door delivery courier.

However, this courier was indeed professional. Even when faced with a bunch of fakes, he still took out the attitude of facing the collection of the Forbidden City.

The professional luxury car delivered the goods, and the car compartment had infrared sensing, temperature control and internal monitoring.

Even the accompanying security personnel were equipped, and each of them was almost written with the words "Soldier King" on their faces. The cautiousness made Wen Mang a little embarrassed.

After all, if he was really robbed, it would be like buying a Yuan blue and white porcelain at a high price at Sotheby's auction house, but found the words "microwave only" at the bottom of the bowl.

It is hard not to wonder if there is something wrong with this world.

Moreover, this woman Dongfang Ye took the initiative to eat several things at a considerable price. The price was so generous that Wen Mang wanted to drag her to the psychiatric department to register for an expert.

Wen Mang thought, if you really like it, why not give it to you, as long as you give more coins.

But Dongfang Ye just shook her head and finally said that she couldn't afford it.

Wen Mang just thought it was a rich man's bad taste, after all, the remittance was real gold and white gold.

Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, this time two gifts, Wen Mang chose to record a small video to thank.

[Hello, hello, this is Wen Mang who was fed by the big guy again, let's follow the vlog today to see what this time!

This time it's a bottle and a prescription. Zhangyu anchor is not talented, but I happen to know a little bit, so let's just chat about it casually. ]

Set up the shooting equipment and fill in the light, Wen Mang first picked up the bottle with gloves.

After all, it's a history channel, Wen Mang is also learning from those archaeologists, no matter it's a real fake, anyway, the professional attitude is sufficient!

[First of all, I still have to admire that the bottle made by the big guy is very vivid. The prototype should be the treasure of our Famen Temple Museum now, the Tang Dynasty plate mouth thin neck sticking plastic light yellow glass bottle.

This bottle is a typical witness of the Silk Road, because the hot processing technique of the bottle body was popular in the late Roman Empire, and the decoration of the bottle body combines ancient Roman, Sassanid Persian and early Arab cultures.

However, when it comes to glass, there is a question: Is ancient colored glaze glass?

In terms of composition, most colored glaze should be a kind of glass, and the main difference between the two is the craftsmanship.

Western glass has been blown since the ancient Roman period. Later, due to the lack of light in the Nordic region, the research direction of glass has always been towards transparency, which is used to increase lighting in the house and has entered daily life earlier.

Oriental colored glaze itself is a by-product of smelting bronze. Later, due to the custom of worshipping jade in the East, the development direction of colored glaze gradually developed towards jade substitutes. For example, many colored glaze bi were unearthed in Hunan, which is more beautiful than jade bi. In the Ming Dynasty, colored glaze was even called medicinal jade inlaid on clothes and belts.

Therefore, if the time traveler goes back to make transparent glassware, it is highly unlikely that the ancient emperors will be surprised. After all, although crystal cups are rare, they are not rare things, unless you can make a telescope by grinding the lens with your bare hands.

If you can't do it, please go and make opaque colored glass honestly. If you can use chemical knowledge to mix and make colored glass that is as bright and colorful as gemstones, the princes and nobles will look at you differently. 】

"Blowing method."

Kong Ming made another note in his notebook and knocked his head at the same time.

There have been too many things recently. I vaguely remember that the people in the glass workshop mentioned the problem of a high failure rate in firing glass two months ago.

Kong Ming also went to understand it at that time, but he didn't find anything wrong in the end. Now it seems that it should be related to the use of metallurgical casting method.

"Lighting... This glass can make the house brighter?"

Zhang Fei was quite interested. Zhuo County was in the north, and he remembered clearly that the house was dim in winter.

If the transparent glass could be made cheaply, Zhang Fei would be tempted by the house.

Liu Bei was silent, envious of the transparent glass that could enter the houses of ordinary people.

He looked up at the windows of the government office. The windows were made of wood through the wall, which was very simple in comparison.

Liu Bei still remembered that when he was hanging out in Luoyang, he saw a wealthy family using silk to make windows. It was luxurious.

Suddenly, Liu Bei also felt that a small window could also explain how ordinary people lived from another perspective.

[As for the prescription of Guizhi Decoction, wow, it's really amazing. ]

Kong Ming could feel that Zhang Zhongjing, who had been silent next to him, tensed up instantly.

The prescription could also be seen on the light screen gradually enlarged, and what he saw in the end was a prescription with calm handwriting.

Zhang Zhongjing still remembered that Zhuge Junshi suddenly came to see him yesterday.

"Doctor Zhang, do you have a prescription that you can be proud of?"

At that time, Zhang Zhongjing thought for a moment, then wrote down this "Guizhi Decoction" and explained the applicability and contraindications of this prescription to Zhuge Military Advisor in detail.

Unexpectedly, this prescription was not used by Zhuge Military Advisor himself.

Looking at the prescription on the screen, Zhang Zhongjing inevitably became nervous. Across a thousand years, the medical skills of later generations are close to gods. Can they look down on this prescription?

Facts have proved that Zhang Zhongjing thought too much.

【It is said that there were famous doctors in the late Han Dynasty, one was Hua Tuo and the other was Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing compiled the medical masterpiece "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", but it was soon lost. Later, it was collected, collated and collated by medical scientists in the Jin Dynasty and divided into two parts, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Golden Chamber Synopsis".

There is a prescription in "Golden Chamber Synopsis" called Shenqi Pills. Later, after being improved by pediatric experts, it became the Liuwei Dihuang Pills that everyone knows today, a must-have for men.

Guizhi Decoction comes from Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and is known as the best prescription for treating typhoid fever.

Looking back now, the shadow of typhoid fever was interspersed throughout the chaotic period at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the value of this prescription can be said to be immeasurable.

Zhangyu UP is not a master of metaphysics, but from the perspective of modern medical pharmacology, the principle of Guizhi Decoction in treating typhoid fever can be said to be very scientific.

If the body's response to disease is regarded as a war, the role of ginger and peony is equivalent to managing logistics, which is to increase appetite, strengthen digestion, and enhance blood vessel permeability.

Licorice and jujube are the simplest and crudest supplies, providing the body with nutrients that are urgently needed.

Guizhi will use the enhanced blood vessel permeability of peony to speed up blood circulation, increase body temperature, and promote sweating.

There are logistics, supplies, interspersed fronts, and main attacks. The medicinal properties are linked together. It can be said that this is a very typical prescription for practical medicine.

In fact, in ancient times, Chinese medicine as a practical medicine developed quite well. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties, there were records of dissecting corpses to study pathology.

In the Song Dynasty, around 1140, Wu Jian was ordered to dissect fifty corpses with the imperial physician and made "Ou Xifan Five Organs Diagram" as a must for studying medicine. At that time, no one thought that this might be the time when Chinese medicine was closest to modern medicine.

One hundred and fifty years later, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism emerged, and Chinese medicine rushed towards the path of metaphysics and never looked back.

Chinese medicine in history also passed by modern medicine and got further and further away. 】

As the younger generation slowly told the story, the smile on Zhang Zhongjing's face became more and more intense.

But with the last turn, the smile on Zhang Zhongjing's face froze.

"Metaphysics?"

Zhang Zhongjing, who vaguely remembered that this word was somewhat familiar, tried to recall it.

Zhang Fei still remembered this clearly, so he shouted to explain the miracle doctor's doubts:

"It looks all-encompassing from the outside, but when you come in you see nothing. It's just lip service."

Then Zhang Zhongjing's face turned pale again.

"Yide!" Liu Bei called out his third brother's name in a gentle and gentle manner, telling him not to be so jumpy.

After all, it is clear how important medicine is, and now it seems that Zhang Zhongjing's reputation as a miracle doctor is further confirmed.

Facing the gloomy old miracle doctor, Liu Bei quickly comforted him and said:

"Be prepared to assist Dr. Zhang in revising Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases! Promote medicine."

Liu Bei's words were resounding. After all, if nothing else, his first case of typhoid fever was enough to attract people's attention.

It’s definitely not out of curiosity about the Liuwei Dihuang Pills that are essential for men!

Zhang Zhongjing's face improved a lot when he thought of the strong support from Military Advisor Zhuge and Duke Xuande, as well as the fact that two medical schools have been built in Chengdu.

It’s just that I still can’t understand:

"This Neo-Confucianism is obviously rational, so how can it turn medicine into metaphysics?"

Zhang Fei curled his lips in spite of his elder brother's gaze:

"If Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were really powerful, how could the Song Dynasty be like that?"

Kong Ming raised his head, and a guess gradually emerged in his heart.

What are Confucian scholars like? When Kong Ming was studying what salt and iron were, he had seen the debate between Lu Ru and Sang Hongyang many times.

Lu Ru's pedantic and ancient-admiring spirit has already hit his face.

Can New Confucianism, which combines Confucianism with Confucianism and Buddhism in the Song Dynasty and Taoism, get rid of this problem? Kong Ming found it difficult.

Kong Ming felt that there was nothing to complain about. From today's perspective, this theoretical exploration was like walking in the abyss, and one careless step would result in being shattered to pieces.

However, from this, he also remembered something that he had not cared about before, so he lowered his head and extended an invitation to Zhang Zhongjing:

"Liang wants Xiang to help Dr. Zhang rewrite the "Shen Nong Baicao Jing", is it possible?"

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows at the side, feeling that he was being pulled away by Kong Ming again, but considering that he really knew nothing about medicine, he could only remain silent unwillingly.

But then he looked up: No, are you busy enough?

Zhang Zhongjing understands the meaning best.

"Shen Nong's Baicao Jing" is good because it collects the great achievements of the previous Han Dynasty, but it is also bad because of this.

Zhang Zhongjing felt a little shaken when he read this medical book when he first started studying medicine.

If we go by what this medical book says, there are a lot of things that can be used to lighten the body and prevent aging, prevent hunger, and prolong life by not being hungry. There are also many pills that can "transform mercury into food after long-term consumption." On the face.

But now it seems that it is all nonsense.

Even for an introduction to medicine, there are many exaggerations and omissions.

Thinking again about the medical ethics of the Song Dynasty that paid equal attention to both medical and scientific knowledge, Zhang Zhongjing suddenly felt a sense of mission and nodded solemnly.

Preparing for the final journey of the World Championship... I hope this year's work in League of Legends can have a good ending.
