Chapter 342 [Under the Magic Box from the East]

Moreover, the tools seem to be the surgical tools used in the Chinese medicine surgery, otherwise it would not be extravagant enough to make these tools out of sterling silver, and the most of these six wooden boxes are some scalpels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These knives made of sterling silver come in all sizes and shapes, and the handle of the knife is engraved with many delicate patterns, and even after hundreds of years, these scalpels made of sterling silver are still unusually sharp, and the blade flashes with a chilling cold light.

There are a total of 72 pieces of tools made of sterling silver, which are also very in line with the Chinese people's preference for numbers, and the numbers of these tools are not all randomly pieced together, for example, the number 108 of 108 silver needles of sterling silver is the name of 108 stars, and the number of 72 surgical tools made of sterling silver uses the number of 72 stars, which is the number of all the tools placed in the last drawer of the medicine box.

In the penultimate layer up, there are four rectangular independent small drawers, the copper pull on the top of the drawer is intact, open the first drawer, there are some pharmaceutical tools placed inside, the five thousand years of Chinese medicine culture and the history of Chinese civilization are as old, the pharmaceutical tools handed down from ancient times are varied, and there are all kinds of things.

But after all, there are traces to follow, the rectangular drawer that Yang Yong opened, there is a mill made of grinding herbs into powder, this mill is very unique in shape and is also made of sterling silver, weighing more than a kilogram, the roller that grinds the medicine into powder, and the groove below, which is very compatible with a trace of gaps, this is some medicine pestle made of sterling silver like a garlic jar that smashes the medicine into pieces, and a small rod weighing weight of the medicine.

In the other three small rectangular drawers are still some pharmaceutical tools, such as guillotines for cutting herbs, stirring jars for making finished pills, and so on, a total of 36 large and small pharmaceutical tools, this is the number of Tiangang 36? Look at what is the broad and profound Chinese culture? Even the number of pharmaceutical tools is from the name, representing the stars in the sky.

Yang Yong couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart when he saw this, the history and culture of the United States are only more than 200 years old, and the history of this medicine box made of huanghuali is more than 300 years, which is longer than the history of the founding of the United States?

The third song of the Huanghuali medicine box is still a drawer, but this drawer is five centimeters high and very narrow, and Yang Yong smiled when he pulled it out, this small drawer only five centimeters high is separated by a wooden Tianzi grid, and there is a small jar made of blue and white porcelain in a grid.

The lids on the jars are wrapped in red silk cloth, but the red silk cloth has turned black due to age, and the patterns on the small blue and white jars less than five centimeters high are all in the shape of some well-known herbs.

There are ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu and other images of these herbs, and the patterns of these well-known herbs are vivid, even if Yang Yong doesn't know anything about herbs and sees the patterns painted on these blue and white jars, he can also follow the patterns to find these herbs.

Some blue and white jars are not big each, Yang Yong's big hand can grab two blue and white jars at the same time, these small jars are empty, Yang Yong knows that these blue and white jars are filled with some honey pills, commonly known as big pills, in order to verify his judgment, Yang Yong also opened the small blue and white jars and put them under his nose and smelled them, the smell of Chinese herbs in them smoked Yang Yongzhi frowned, after hundreds or even hundreds of years, the taste in these small jars of medicine is still strong.

Looking at these small blue and white jars in front of him, Yang Yong felt very excited, the Chinese herbal medicine culture that has been inherited for 5,000 years is really not covered, even the jars containing medicine are so particular, it seems that the history behind this medicine box is definitely not simple.

After all the small jars were put back in place, Yang Yong opened the fourth layer of the medicine box, and when he opened the two drawers on the fourth floor, Yang Yong smiled, and at the same time felt that the feudal ruling class was really a trick.

The fourth layer of two drawers are placed in a small pillow that I don't know and made, the small pillow is very small, only the size of a palm, but the carving is extremely exquisite jade warmth, it is carved from the best Hetian seed jade, a small pillow is the Chinese medicine for people to treat the pulse, the patient places the wrist of the small pillow, not the most special, the special is the small pillow placed on the side of the small pillow a coiled gold wire.

This gold wire is very thin, but the length is very long, even if you don't have to open it, Yang Yong can judge that the length of the gold wire will definitely not be less than ten meters at this time, why do you say that the feudal ruling class cheats people! It is because whether it is the royal family doctor or the folk doctor, when treating women, they are not allowed to touch women's bodies, even wrists.

Therefore, in ancient times, there was a method of diagnosing the suspensory wire, tying the gold wire to the woman's wrist, and then smoothing the vibration from the gold wire to judge the condition and then prescribe medicine to diagnose and treat it, before the existence of this gold wire appeared.

After putting the jade pillow and a handful of gold wire back in place, twelve pairs of chopsticks made of sterling silver placed in different leather cases appeared in the drawer, and each pair of chopsticks was carved with some zodiac patterns, such as the vivid zodiac patterns of the rat, the ugly cow, the tiger, the rabbit, and the twelve chopsticks made of sterling silver were used to test the poison.

In particular, the ancient Chinese people believed that silver could be used to test poison, especially arsenic, and this kind of deadly poison was even more unguardable, so the doctor would always keep several pairs of silver chopsticks, and then boil the herbs into a medicinal soup, look at the owner's face, put the pair of silver chopsticks in the medicinal soup to publicly test whether it is poisonous? When the chopsticks have not changed color, these herbs will be drunk by the patient.

After observing the drawers in the fourth chapter, the upper two drawers of the phase were all small blue and white porcelain vases with a height of ten centimeters and a diameter of no more than 2.5 centimeters, and the lids of these small bottles were all wooden.

These small blue and white porcelain vases are empty, a total of 72 are also taken from the number of 72, and those blue and white jars are different, these small porcelain vases are filled with some liquid medicines, see the entire Huanghuali made of medicine box inside the space is like this, although the items inside are not large, but very collectible, especially for the study of the history of Chinese herbal medicine to make this value huge.

This wooden medicine box like a large backpack, Yang Yong felt very happy, it was really a rare treasure, although the blue and white porcelain jar in it, the blue and white porcelain bottle was the official kiln product of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, but because the size is too small, the auction value is not large, but the appearance of the complete set will also cause a sensation, especially the historical value of this medicine box is immeasurable, it is really a good baby, Adam made a meritorious contribution to himself and asked for a bonus or forgivable.
