Chapter 22 Chinese Medicine and Inorganic Substances
The Chinese medicine store is very different from the previous store, it is not the same as the pigeon cage, it is much bigger, almost as big as the ordinary 4 ordinary shops, and the traditional pharmacy is different in that there is no doctor here, it is a combination of the pharmacy and wholesale, in a small space, there are all kinds of Chinese medicinal materials everywhere, the whole room, there is a strong and important smell, Zhao Xin has just lit up many cards in the place, it is the outermost side of the entire Chinese medicine store, where there are rows of cabinets.

Historically, the formation of the concept of traditional Chinese medicine is a very long period, to the Tang Dynasty, there have been regulations, Chinese medicine stores have also begun to have unified specifications, since then, most of the Chinese medicine stores, there will be a cabinet full of various medicinal materials, is the one that Zhao Xin saw before, the small drawer in the cabinet, written with the names of three kinds of medicinal materials, respectively representing the three parts of the drawer, representing the front, the middle and the back of the three grids, a cabinet that is not too big, can accommodate hundreds of kinds of medicinal materials, Guys who have been trained can directly find the talents they need without looking at their names, and some even practice their skills, grasp the medicine with their hands, and score exactly the same amount in catties.
Traditional Chinese medicine to the Song Dynasty, did not develop to the height of later generations, the formation of traditional Chinese medicine is very long, in the primitive society has a foundation, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has formed the basic theory of looking, hearing and asking, which is also the most basic theory of Chinese medicine, the formation of a variety of different treatment methods, thousands of years of time, Chinese medicine has emerged, far more than other natural science fields, and even some theories of Chinese medicine, to the 21st century, can not be fully understood and explained.
The reason is very simple, since Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism has become the mainstream of the court, and anything that has nothing to do with Confucianism will be suppressed, and even a few of the six arts of Confucianism, except for the two of rites and books, are basically suppressed. Traditional Chinese medicine has a unique position in Confucianism, and it is not a very shameful thing to study the classics of Chinese medicine and become a Chinese medicine practitioner, but it will become a kind of honor.
In any case, the development of an industry, with one or two geniuses, the most to promote for a while, can not be endlessly promoted, the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine, so that there are many outstanding geniuses in the past dynasties to devote themselves to it, to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine, to the Song Dynasty, has laid the foundation, even if the development of Western medicine theory to the extreme, can not shake its fundamental.
In the past thousand years, there have been many talents, studied countless skills, and also wrote books and said, leaving countless Chinese medicine focus, which has also become the link of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance, from the earliest days, according to legend, is the Yellow Emperor's Neijing in the mythological era, Hua Tuo's green capsule book in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Zhongjing's treatise on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, and then to acupuncture and moxibustion A and B and Shennong's Materia Medica, before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese medicine has developed to a considerable extent, and Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty gathered many scriptures, combined with his own experience of Qianjin Fang and Qianjin Yifang, It can be said that the comparative system has completed the induction and summary of traditional Chinese medicine, and since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no systematic and large-scale traditional Chinese medicine classics, until Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, standing on the shoulders of the ancients, it took decades to complete a compendium of traditional Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine has completely formed an inherent system, and finally made traditional Chinese medicine the earliest to form a systematization and have a high degree of practicality.
During the Song Dynasty, on the basis of Qianjin Fang and Qianjin Yifang, under the promotion of many Chinese medicine classics, a vigorous Chinese medicine system was formed, and a unique inheritance method was formed, like the Confucian master-apprentice inheritance, the theory of Chinese medicine has not been broken, which has also become the root of the population explosion after the Song Dynasty, food determines the upper limit of the population, medicine represents the lower limit of the population and the growth rate from the lower limit to the upper limit, some people have counted the average life expectancy of the Song Dynasty, is thirty years old, much higher than the previous dynasties and slightly lower than the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the average age in the Qing Dynasty was 33 years old, and in the Republic of China it was 35 years old.
This statement is not recognized, but most people's cognition, but carefully study the history of the Song Dynasty Zhao Xin, I feel that it is not as simple as me, this average is probably the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty put together to calculate, the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most tragic dynasty, twice suffered from foreign invasions, the border has been in constant war for a long time, the most terrible is the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, from the peak of about 85 million population, reduced to about 8 million, 9 into death.
War is always the best way to reduce the average life expectancy of the population, because you have not lived to this era, you have already died in advance, especially the massacre, the Central Plains, several times occupied by foreign races, only Yuanmeng is the most powerful one, but also for such a high-pressure policy, so that Yuanmeng only enjoyed less than a hundred years of the world, some people say that the Yuan Dynasty should start from 1206, but is not to unify the country, from the conquest of Lin'an in 1275, to 1368, but it is less than 90 years, For the powerful Yuan Dynasty, the decline was too fast.
Aside from the final war death, especially the death of the war of annihilation, the life span of the Song Dynasty should exceed that of the Republic of China, and even the pure Northern Song Dynasty is higher than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, because the Northern Song Dynasty lives in the north, but the Southern Song Dynasty is partial to the south, this era, the north is the longest development time, the most suitable for human life, all kinds of unknown poisonous insects and miasma and the like are much less, the development of the south, is after the Ming and Qing dynasties climbed to the peak, on the one hand, hundreds of years of continuous development, so that the deep mountains and wild forests gradually decreased, on the other hand, the development of medicine, There are solutions to many miasma.
A dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, to reach the Republic of China, this quasi-industrial era similar to the life expectancy of the population, and even slightly improved, this is enough to prove the power of traditional Chinese medicine, after all, this is a feudal society, there are many unsolvable problems, some large-scale famine will starve thousands of people to death, to such a extent, it is already very good, it is undeniable that Chinese medicine in it, occupies a considerable role.
This Chinese medicine shop is very special, just the cabinet at the door, there are more than 200 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, this is not all, a lot of ordinary common medicines, the kind with a large amount, and not placed in the cabinet, with the help of sacks, etc., placed together, it looks a little messy, and began to add a part of the lighting for Zhao Xin.
The choice of Chinese medicine is not to increase the number of lights, this is only part of the reason, hundreds of kinds of Chinese medicine, can increase the number of lights, the greater reason is that the diversity of Chinese medicine, at the beginning of the birth of Chinese medicine, most of the important preparations, are derived from plants, because this is the earliest contact of people, in the early primitive society, occasionally used certain plants, as a method of treating a certain disease, which is not only in China, in the whole world, in the medical system, are the basis of the original medicine.
However, only China, the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the development of all the effective medicinal materials together, classification and summary, analysis of his unique properties, and finally formed a broad theory of Chinese medicine, later, the addition of animals, in the process of research, especially in the actual role, ancient Chinese medicine began to study more, nothing can not be used in medicine, Chinese medicine is vividly expressed.
In the middle, I have to mention some inorganic minerals, ordinary chemical raw materials, when the whole world has not opened its use, Chinese medicine has used some of his characteristics, applied to traditional Chinese medicine, some natural ores, or directly added to the drug, or reasonable use and processing, become a drug, this is a pioneering work of traditional Chinese medicine, but also Zhao Xin into the Chinese medicine store to pay the most attention to the part, if it is said, among the natural level 1 cards, in addition to weapons, a few will get Zhao Xin's attention, is this natural ore.
Ancient stone into gold, in later generations is called mythical story, after the real understanding of chemistry, will know, point stone into gold, is according to a certain law and chemical reaction, of course, from stone to gold, this is difficult, because the stability of gold is extremely strong, in nature is rarely in the form of compounds, in most cases, are elemental, ordinary solution, it is difficult to react with gold, except for aqua regia and a few other can react with him, it is very difficult. With the help of these natural compounds, it is not difficult to create other things from the middle, as long as you master certain rules, learn some basics of high school chemistry, and make some more common chemical supplies in later generations, which will not only be a channel for money, but also have a unique role.
The necessary skills of the traverser, soap glass cement, these are actually simple chemical reactions, and with enough raw materials, it is not impossible to get these, after the road of the card has become a bubble, Zhao Xin wants to gain a lot of money, I am afraid that he can only embark on the common road of the traverser, unlike those traversers, he has a card system, as long as the cards belonging to the corresponding minerals are lit, with the help of money and basic raw materials, the ore problem will no longer be a problem, no matter how much he needs it, The card system has a constant price, which is perhaps the biggest advantage of the game.
Traditional Chinese medicine has introduced minerals very early, there are many natural minerals of traditional Chinese medicine, there are dozens of kinds of them, including gypsum, cinnabar, realgar, sulfur, etc., which are more common, and are also quite used in other industries, including calamine, borax, alum, saponalum, so, natural ores, these originally appeared in Tiannan and Haibei, the ores in various mineral deposits, because of the relationship of traditional Chinese medicine, concentrated in the Chinese medicine store, helped Zhao Xin, lit up many cards, and also let him have a large number of basic raw materials, This is a huge contribution to his next fortune plan
