Chapter 407: An Unexpected Discovery
To identify the authenticity of rosewood, it is to rely on wine, generally with a cotton ball dipped in some wine, and then gently rub it on the surface of the rosewood, if the cotton ball becomes purple red sè, then it is the real rosewood, or the sawdust of the rosewood is soaked in the wine, if there are blood-red silk strips at the end, it means that this is the real rosewood.
Of course, this is the identification method for the old red sandalwood, if it is a new red sandalwood, it will also drop sè when soaked in water, and the old red sandalwood will not drop sè in water.
"As soon as the rosewood encounters wine, it will naturally fall sè, which is a normal phenomenon." Jiang Feng briefly explained the reason to the two girls, then picked up the needle box and wiped the water stains on the surface with a tissue.
When he looked at this needle box again, Jiang Feng noticed a little unusual change. The rosewood box, which now does not appear to be made of a single piece of wood, seems to have a wooden strip at the long end of the box to seal the gap. Originally, because of its age, it looked like it was one and the same, but now it was soaked in wine, and the dirt on the surface was removed, revealing the fine seams.
Is there something in this?
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng immediately moved his mind. Do you know that Gu Jin often likes to do something unexpected to keep some secrets, or is there any secret hidden in this rosewood needle box?
Jiang Feng felt a little excited in his heart when he thought of this, so he went to the kitchen to find some tools and wanted to pry off the sealed wooden strips.
The red sandalwood is very strong, and Jiang Feng didn't want to break the needle box, so it took half a long time to remove the sealed wooden strip, and immediately found that the lid of the box was hollow, and there seemed to be something inside.
A piece of silk silk naturally will not attract Jiang Feng's attention, the key problem is that this piece of silk is actually full of dense fly-headed small letters, which seems to record something important.
Jiang Feng took a cursory look at it twice, and found that the songs recorded on it were all songs, which seemed to be in line with the specific method of acupuncture, which was catchy and concise to read, which showed that the writer's writing skills and the kung fu on acupuncture and moxibustion were very deep.
Knowing this is because he has recently learned some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine according to Uncle Feng's request, otherwise, he would not have seen any clues at all.
"What the hell is going on? Why is wood hollow inside? ”
Su Chang and Liu Yifei both looked at Jiang Feng tinkering with things there, and they both felt a little curious, especially when Jiang Feng took out a piece of silk silk that looked very old from the wood sandwich of the needle box, their interest in white spoons was even stronger, so they asked Jiang Feng in unison.
Jiang Feng carefully observed the empty space of the needle box, and found that in addition to this piece of silk, there was also a gold needle coiled inside, although I don't know how long it had been stored in it, but the golden light was still as if it had been newly made.
He checked another piece of wood in the needle box, and found a very secret hole, and there was also a silk silk inside, which indeed drew a map of the meridians and acupoints entering the body.
Jiang Feng didn't care about Su Chang and Liu Yifei who were standing aside, but carefully put away these few things, resealed the wooden strips, and then said to the two girls: "I think I probably found something very important." ”
Although he was still not sure of the authenticity of this newly discovered map and mantra, it could be hidden in the wood for hundreds of years, and these graphic texts also had a great background, and Jiang Feng was very hopeful that he could discover something important from them.
Or did it change the status quo of the acupuncture world all of a sudden? Jiang Feng was not sure of this speculation.
After seeing the things in the needle box, Jiang Feng's first reaction was to take these things to Uncle Feng to see, the old man is an expert, and this thing is his family heirloom, and he has the most say on this issue.
Jiang Feng also knew that Uncle Feng would be a master of the apricot forest when Uncle Feng gave this rosewood needle box to Jiang Feng.
The apricot forest, that is, the name of the Chinese medicine industry, the doctor always regards himself as the apricot forest. However, the word Xinglin comes from Dong Feng, a Fujian Taoist doctor in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.
Dong Feng was known as the three divine doctors of Jian'an along with Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo at that time. Among the many legendary deeds of Dong Feng, the most influential is the story of his practice of medicine in Lushan.
According to the tenth volume of "The Legend of the Immortals", Dong Feng once lived in seclusion at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province for a long time, and enthusiastically diagnosed and treated the diseases of the mountain people. He never asked for a reward when he practiced medicine, and whenever he cured a seriously ill patient, he asked the patient to plant five apricot trees on the hillside. To be optimistic about a mild disease, you only need to plant an apricot tree. Therefore, the four townships heard the news and came to seek treatment, and Dong Feng planted apricots as medical reward. A few years later, there were as many as 100,000 apricot groves in the Lushan area. After the apricots were ripe, Dong Feng sold the apricots into grain to sell them to the poor people in Lushan and the hungry people from the north to the south, and more than 20,000 people were rescued in a year.
Later, it was also said that there were tigers guarding the apricot forest to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing apricots, and those who wanted to eat apricots could only exchange rice for it, while Dong Feng used the grain to help the poor, so there was a saying that the tiger guarded the apricot forest.
Of course, Uncle Feng also revealed his identity as a master of Xinglin when he decided to pass on his medical skills to Jiang Feng after knowing that Jiang Feng Jingran was a martial arts master. And the Feng family has always been a family of traditional Chinese medicine in the past.
It's just that the art of acupuncture and moxibustion has begun to decline since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and many ancient methods have slowly been lost, especially in several places where the art of acupuncture and moxibustion is developed, the doctors and the common people were slaughtered by the Qing soldiers, which led to the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China within a period of time, Chinese medicine gradually declined, and most of the Chinese medicine was either a family tradition or a fallen talent to turn to the medical field. Siku Quanshu", the ancient books were changed into a mess, and some of the yin yang five elements doctrine left behind were incomplete, and everyone was confused, so the Chinese medicine based on this was naturally even worse.
Therefore, among the revolutionaries at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who used traditional Chinese medicine to operate, such as Sun Wen and Lu Xun, etc., who went abroad to learn Western medicine. In their opinion, traditional Chinese medicine based on the theory of the five elements of yin yang has no scientific basis at all, and it should be the same as the charlatans who tell fortunes on the street.
At that time, everyone in the ideological circles, such as Liang Qichao and Hu Shi, was also a force for traditional Chinese medicine, advocating Western medicine, and after the founding of the Republic of China, Chinese medicine once fell into a crisis of being banned.
Jiang Feng also knew an interesting story, which was about the famous scholar Liang Qichao.
When it comes to Liang Qichao, I probably don't know much about his youth, but I only remember that there is "Wuxu Change" in history textbooks, and "Juvenile China Says" in Chinese textbooks, these two are directly related to Liang Qichao. If you look at it more closely, you can learn that Liang Qichao later had a little to do with President Yuan Shikai, and later, it seems that he also had some inexplicable contacts with Emperor Puyi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
But all in all, in short, Liang Qichao once represented the progressive forces of society, and he is also worthy of the title of master. Later events, we still have to use historical materialism and dialectical vision to analyze, we can't erase his original exploits because of a little flaw, oh, this is a bit far.
To get back to the point, Liang Qichao is a major figure in modern Chinese history, and his political or academic works are immediately popular in contemporary times as soon as they are published. He has a pen with emotion, and the articles he writes are clear and reasonable, the so-called blend of emotion and reason, as praised by the times, thrilling, and a thousand words. At that time, Mr. Liang raised his arms and shouted, and there were many responders, which can be said to be countless fans.
He gave a lecture at the university, with a blue robe and a green coat, a burly figure, and a little bald, but his face was full of red light, his eyes were bright, and he gave a speech with many gestures to help his expression. When quoting a book, he does not read the original work, but recites it in paragraphs, and when he can't memorize it, he points to his forehead, and when it sounds, he suddenly continues to speak.
At that time, the national government, from the president to the common people, felt that if they did not listen to Mr. Liang, they would definitely make mistakes. In 1921, when an Austrian violin master came to Beijing to perform, Liang Qichao wrote an article in the "Morning Post" recommending it, pointing out that if you don't go to the True Light Cinema to listen to this musician play a famous Western song, you will be barbaric without a cultural level!
So the college and middle school students in the capital pawned their clothes and went to buy expensive admission tickets. President Li Yuanhong also thought that he was by no means barbaric, so he booked a box in the theater, brought his wife and concubines, went to the venue, and presented flower baskets to Western musicians, which shows how great Liang Qichao's charm is.
However, it is this Liang Rengong, but he has always been unable to get along with traditional Chinese medicine.
At that time, Liang Qichao and Liang Rengong were admitted to Union Hospital due to uremia. He has been ill for many years, and his family has repeatedly advised him to seek medical treatment, which is always troublesome, but before he was admitted to the hospital, he suddenly suspected that he had cancer, and finally agreed to have it checked. After X-ray fluoroscopy, the doctor saw a black spot in the right kidney and diagnosed it as a tumor.
Liang Qichao's brother Liang Zhongce asked the attending doctor, "It doesn't have to be cancer, right?" ”
The doctor replied, "It doesn't have to be cancer." ”
Hearing what the doctor said, Liang Zhongce had no choice, because he was not sure if it was cancer, so he asked the doctor again, how should his brother's illness be treated? The doctor said that he would remove it all, and after the operation, he dissected the kidney, and found that there was a large black spot like a cherry, but it was not cancer.
What's worse is that there is still blood in the urine when the disease is sick, and the source of the disease cannot be detected. As a result, the follow-up diagnosis was unexplained hemorrhage.
