Chapter 68 Huazu Tang on Chinese Medicine
Liu Zhenyuan came to Qiaozhou for the first time, and as an old Chinese medicine doctor, there is a place in Qiaozhou that must be visited, that is, Huazutang.
Qiaozhou is the hometown of the divine doctor Huazu, the famous doctor Huazu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing are called the "three divine doctors of Jian'an". When he was young, he traveled abroad to study, and practiced medicine all over Sulu, Henan, Anhui and other places, studying medical skills without seeking a career. He has comprehensive medical skills, especially good at surgery, proficient in surgery, and proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture and moxibustion, many incurable diseases have been cured by his hands, so he is known as a miracle doctor.
Huazu pioneered traditional Chinese medicine surgery, and was known as the "holy hand of surgery" and "the originator of surgery" by later generations.
Huazu has a high status in Chinese medicine. Which outstanding doctor in later generations will associate him with Huazu when he is praised, and the highest title is "Huazu Reincarnation"!
After everyone finished buying medicinal materials on the first day, the second day happened to be Sunday, and everyone accompanied Liu Zhenyuan to Huazu Hall early in the morning.
The location of Huazu Hall is on the east side of the Liuhua Pavilion, and you can see the silhouette of Huazu Hall across Xinhua Street.
Qiaozhou Municipal Government in 1986 only opened the prelude to the repair of Huazu Hall, from the outside to see a cluster of new, into the inside, you can also see a lot of ruins and broken walls, in 1961 the famous archaeologist Guo Moruo's inscription "Huazu Memorial Hall" of the stele is still lying horizontally on the side of the pond.
There are two cross-courtyards in front and back of Huazu Hall, the statue of Huazu is in the middle of the front cross-courtyard, and the wings on both sides are the poetry seals left by the literati and inkmen of the past dynasties and the literature excerpts of the later generations on Huazu research.
Liu Zhenyuan lit three incense sticks in front of the statue, bowed, and looked solemn, showing the old man's reverence for Huazu, and everyone bowed and saluted with Liu Lao at one time.
Liu Zhenyuan waited for everyone to finish worshipping, looked at Qu Guangquan and said: "Huazu is the pride of your Qiaozhou people, and the reason why your Chinese herbal medicine market is so prosperous today depends on Huazu's reputation." As long as you truly contribute to society, it will be remembered by all generations. Boy, you are young and have a bright future, remember to do more practical things for your hometown and for the people. ”
"That's what your old man said. I'll keep it in mind. Qu Guangquan was respectful.
Behind the courtyard is a pond, the outer circle of the pond is planted with all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, angelica, peony, white peony and so on, in the middle of the pond a zigzag stone bridge leads to a huge pavilion in the center.
Everyone sat in the pavilion, the cool breeze was blowing, and the willows were stretching their branches, which was exceptionally refreshing.
Liu Zhenyuan leaned on the railing, looked at the pond water, and sighed softly: "Now young people know less and less about traditional Chinese medicine, and they all go to Western medicine if they are sick." ”
Tang Zongyi also shook his head: "What do you say? You can only blame the rapid development of society, looking for Chinese medicine is that there are not many good doctors, and the net idea is a charlatan, that is, to find a good Chinese medicine, at least seven days and eight days after a course of treatment, and then encounter a person who sells fake medicine, no matter how good a prescription, you can't catch a good quality medicine like our Tong Rentang, and you have to be troublesome." ”
"Who says it's not?" Li Zonggang, a purchaser, has a deep experience: "Now that I am sick, I go to the hospital for an examination, and the test list is clear. I myself buy traditional Chinese medicine, but my family has a headache and brain fever and also uses Western medicine, which is ashamed of our salary!"
Everyone was silent.
Qu Guangquan feels that the reason for this problem is that Chinese medicine has not kept up with the pace of the times, and there is the positioning of traditional Chinese medicine, the development of medicine must be all-round, and traditional Chinese medicine is only a part of it, and we should look at the problem from the perspective of development.
For example, when I was a child, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala, and it felt so perfect that I had to watch it even if I stayed up late. Especially the one in 1982 is unforgettable. When I grew up, I found that the Spring Festival Gala was just like that, and there was no regret if I didn't watch it.
Is it better than 1982 now, no, the current stage lighting including the cast is incomparable in the past, but there were too few entertainment means in that era, and everyone will feel fresh if there is a little excitement, and now the means of entertainment are too rich, even if they have changed a lot, they still don't have so much attraction.
What's more, if you still use the same method in 1982 to play, everyone must be very interested.
"Uncle Tang, you Tongrentang is the boss of Chinese medicine, why don't you lead our Chinese medicine to take the road of modernization?" Qu Guangquan asked.
"You say we haven't done it, we've been doing it! Look at our pharmaceutical factory, all of them are modern equipment, and our quality analysis of medicinal materials is also the most advanced technology in China. Tang Zongyi only thought that Qu Guangquan was a misunderstanding.
"Uncle Tang, the modernization I am talking about is the modernization of one-stop production from production to processing to sales. Qu Guangquan thought of his own thinking in the previous life: "Chinese herbal medicine is always relying on wild for the top quality is not the way, which will cause environmental problems, in order to ensure the quality of medicinal materials, the most modern way is to standardize planting, large-scale planting of local soil, professional team management." ”
"Hehe, it's too idealistic!" Tang Zongyi said with a smile: "I'll talk about wild Chinese medicinal materials first, first of all, wild ones are the natural ingredients that are most in line with the essence of medicinal materials, and they are not affected by age, pesticides and fertilizers and external pollution, and no matter how good they are, they are still not as good as wild ones." Secondly, there are some things that can only be wild, and cannot be grown at home. ”
"If everyone goes to pick the wild, the resources will be depleted, and the price will soar even higher!"
"There's no way around high. Wild everyone is sought after, we use wild medicinal materials to the common people believe in our quality. Even if it's expensive, they're willing. ”
What Tang Zongyi said was the truth. But it is also a big problem in the development of Chinese herbal medicines.
For example, Cordyceps sinensis, until 2020 before Qu Guangquan's rebirth, there was no way to artificially come out, but with the depletion of wild resources, the price of Cordyceps sinensis soared all the way, in 1988, a kilogram of goods was about 1,000 yuan, and in 2016, the price rose sharply, the price reached 230,000 yuan, and the price rose 230 times!
Another example of Yunnan Baiji, in 1988 only more than 3 yuan a kilogram, until 2000 is hovering around 10 yuan a kilogram, with the development of the medicinal value of Baiji, wild resources have been greatly depleted, to 2016 a kilogram soared to 900-1200 yuan, the price rose nearly 300 times!
In this way, the use value of medicinal materials is actually reduced, because the price is too high, and the market will naturally choose substitutes, which is not conducive to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Only the successful planting of these wild resources can be the rational development of Chinese medicinal materials. It not only protects the environment, but also promotes the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, there is a Chinese herbal medicine called "Zhu Ling", before 2015, the planting has been unsuccessful, the price of a kilogram from about 8 yuan a kilogram in 1988, soared to 450 yuan a kilogram, but after the successful planting in 2015, it fell directly to 85 yuan a kilogram.
Qu Guangquan is deeply aware of these facts, but it is still 1988, and they will definitely not accept Tang Zongyi when they say it, which is the limitation of the times.
Qu Guangquan changed his perspective: "Uncle Tang, there is also a standard issue of medicinal materials. Let's just say that the salvia is relatively large in Chinese medicinal materials, which are produced in Jiangbei Province, Lu Province, and Jinxi, and there are many production areas in the country. Because of the different origins, the shape of the medicinal materials is also different, and the effective content is also different. It may be the same person, the same disease, because of the different origins, if the usage and dosage of salvia are the same, the effect may be completely different. ”
"That's-" Liu Zhenyuan realized this. "For example, salvia, I like to use Jinxi Wanrong goods, the same amount, obviously makes me more handy in healing. ”
"Elder Liu, that's because it's you, so you can influence what kind of medicinal materials the pharmacy uses. Normal hospitals and pharmacies can only be salvia in various places, maybe this batch is from our Jiangbei Province, and that batch is from Jinxi. For the same prescription, the pharmacy will only take the medicine according to the prescription, and the effect of treatment may be different. ”
"yes. You're right. Therefore, we strictly control the quality of Tongrentang, and only choose local medicinal materials, such as our yam must be Jiaozuo, our aconite is definitely Jiangyou's, our 。。。。。。。 ”
"Uncle Tang, your method is not advisable!" Qu Guangquan interrupted Tang Zongyi: "Because of your reputation in Tongrentang, even if it is expensive, some people will buy it, you almost don't have to consider the cost price of Chinese medicinal materials, but what about ordinary pharmacies, ordinary pharmaceutical factories and hospitals, they have to calculate economic accounts." ”
"When you say this, I really won't raise the bar for you!" said the manager and salesman of Tong Rentang, with a proud face. "We just want the best. ”
"However, no matter how well your Tongrentang develops, you can't go to your Tongrentang for everyone who wants to see Chinese medicine. Qu Guangquan smiled and said, "What about the place where there is no Tongrentang? Or, if they have opinions about your Tongrentang, how can they take medicine according to the prescription?"
"That's—" Mary shook her head.
"Then you can't catch the medicine according to the prescription!" Li Zonggang questioned: "If the pharmacy says this recipe, the salvia in Jiangbei Province has to use 30 grams, the one in Lu Province has to use 28 grams, and the Wanrong has to have 25 grams to achieve the same effect, and the thousands of Chinese medicinal materials and tens of thousands of treatment prescriptions are not messed up!"
