Chapter Seventy-Five: The Taoist Family Doctor

Wuwei Daoist went down the mountain again, he came for another thing. At this time, he had already entered the Yunwu Mountain Tea Workshop, and sat in the corner of the last time to drink tea quietly.

The young man informed Wu Qing, and she hurriedly came over to say hello. After the ceremony, they sat down to drink tea and catch up.

Wuwei Taoist knew that Wu Qing was practicing Chinese herbal medicine, so he said bluntly that we Taoists are walking the world with "a needle and a handful of grass". Historically, there were many Taoist medicine masters who hung pots to help the world and purify all sentient beings.

Wu Qing said, I know a little bit about this, Fengshan has always had the saying of "Ten Ways and Nine Doctors", which is admirable!

"Ten Dao Nine Doctors", that is, nine out of ten Taoists know how to treat diseases and see a doctor.

In the Yunwu Mountains, plant resources are very abundant, especially Chinese medicinal materials, which is one of the areas with the highest concentration of wild medicinal materials. For example, a seven-leaf flower, a bowl of water by the river, a pearl on the top of the head, gastrodia, five spirit fat, golden hairpin and other precious medicinal materials are produced in Yunwu Mountain. According to records, as early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were hermits here to collect medicine and practice, and after the Tang and Song dynasties, there was an endless stream.

Wuwei Taoist said, Taoist medicine believes that life is a hundred diseases, born with a hundred herbs, born with a hundred herbs is not only for people to cure diseases, people use grass to cure diseases, it is called medicine, there must be a medicine for a disease, the disease is changeable, the medicine can also be changeable, if you can know the taste of the herbs, can be used as medicine. Our Fengshan Taoist medicine requires Taoist doctors to self-collect, self-made, and self-use Chinese herbs to treat people's diseases, so as to form the secret of health preservation.

Fengshan Taoist medicine has a long history. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine is gradually evolved from the witch history medicine and medicine of Fang Shi Xiandao, and Taoism brings together almost all the medicines and methods of disease prevention and treatment, health preservation and longevity of the Chinese nation.

At this time, Wuwei Taoist followed his master to learn Taoism since he was a child, such as a few family treasures:

For example, Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the first to record smallpox. Liang Tao Hongjing's collection of "Nourishing Life Extension Record", its content includes medical theory, medicine and Si Shen, convincing, nourishing form, guidance, speech, diet, room, anti-vulgar, taboo, prayer, chanting mantras, and contemplation, which is also the earliest existing health collection. His book "Commentary on the Classic of Materia Medica" has made innovations in the collection, processing, classification, and compatibility of drugs: Sun Simiao laid the initial foundation for the development of gynecology and pediatrics in the Tang Dynasty, and developed the science of longevity. The Western Yuan Pulse Theory, founded by Cui Jiayan in the Southern Song Dynasty, occupies an important place in the history of traditional Chinese medicine.

Indeed, some of the external drugs developed by Waidanshu are still in use today. Neidanshu promoted the development of ancient health preservation techniques and the study of the human body. This is a large number of Taoist medical prescriptions in many important works of Chinese medicine.

Wu Qing made a slight contact, then nodded yes.

Wuwei Taoist continued, "In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, a long list of Taoist names can be discharged, such as Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Ge Hong, Tao Hongjing, Sun Simiao, etc. ”

Fengshan as one of the Taoist resorts, with the profound Taoist cultural accumulation, they take Wudang medicine as the source, taught by the Wudang immortal master, such as Taoist invention, inheritance of the secret acupuncture, massage, internal therapy and other more than 200 kinds, ointment, pills, tablets, pills, pills and other Chinese patent medicines nearly 100 kinds, widely used in the world.

Wu Qing said, "Yes, Daoist medicine and medicine are broad and profound, my immortal master has told me some of them, but I don't seem to know the essentials." He smiled.

At the foot of Fengshan, there is a white dragon cave that is associated with Fengshan Taoist medicine. The most peculiar thing in the White Dragon Cave is that there is a hole in the cave, and the spring water in the cave flows in all seasons, which is clear and sweet. Legend has it that a white dragon ascended to heaven here, and the white dragon left an elixir to thank the place for nurturing it, and the elixir made the water here cure all diseases. In order to thank the white dragon, people set up a temple and statue here to show their reverence.

Historically, Fengshan has always been famous for drugs such as Bailongdong eye medicine and Bading purple gold ingots. Legend has it that Taoists used this magical place to heal people in a strange way. It is said that people who come here to see a doctor are "not seen at both ends". In order not to be disturbed by others, Taoists often hide in the mountains and concentrate on cultivation, but their "superb medical Tao" is always covered by the green mountains. Therefore, the Taoist people used methods such as "suspensory silk diagnosis" to see a doctor, "high cliff basket" to distribute medicine, etc., to treat patients and treat diseases.

This not only reflects the unfathomable profundity of the Taoist priests, but also can help the world and save patients. Nowadays, in the White Dragon Pavilion at the foot of the White Dragon Cave Mountain, there is still a flat plate that is "well-known in the world".

In the White Dragon Cave of Fengshan, there are a number of small porcelain medicine bottles of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties of different shapes, exquisite and small, and a piece of medicinal advertisements for Qixia Dao people. In the White Dragon Cave, which is famous for its medicines, there are dozens of porcelain bottles in a small cave bird's nest. After cleaning, it was found that these porcelain bottles were eye medicine bottles of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.

There are black lacquered wooden boards in the cave, the eyebrows are "the world's famous white dragon cave eye medicine is here", the left is "fate early encounter, miss the rare opportunity", the right is "save people from disease, Mo Da Yin Gong", its content is "ancestral secret alchemy dragon sand tiger liquid, eight treasures purple gold ingot can cure clouds and eyes, old eyes are dizzy, tears in the wind, and cure seventy-two kinds of eye diseases...... This medicine has great efficacy, it is not comparable with ordinary sellers, and those who wish to give a bottle of money ten cents or a penny of silver, can not be short-priced, and the cave is high, and the sound is difficult to transmit. Qixia Dao people respectfully warn! ”

According to legend, there is a famous high road, he abandoned the official to enter the Tao, lived in the moon cave at the foot of Fengshan Mountain, and served as the abbot. Diligent and thrifty, more than ten years as a day, raising funds to repair more than ten palaces: building a stone-level pedal road at the entrance of the moon cave, four feet long and five feet wide; A tea pavilion was built next to the road under the cave, and tea was set up to give alms to passers-by. He also knows medical skills, often goes to the countryside and villages, treats people, does not charge a penny, and does not keep meals, just a bowl of fresh water, known as "Bian Que reincarnation". There is another old Taoist, it is said that he is the authentic heir of the secret recipe of Fengshan famous medicine "purple gold ingot", he learned the true transmission from the immortal master of Wudang Mountain, when he was in the abbot of the Huangjing Hall, he was quiet and had few desires, and the dust was not clean, and he made the "purple gold ingot" to help the public, and his reputation was very high.

Wuwei Taoist said, "I followed the immortal master to learn Chinese medicine acupuncture, Taoist martial arts, and acupuncture, so I have a little experience." ”

Wu Qing is both an affirmation and an encouragement, "Wuwei Taoist people are firm and consistent, and there will be great success in the future!" ”

Fengshan Taoist medicine won the true transmission of Wudang Mountain, there are many internal and external treatment methods, Taoist doctors divide it into eight sets according to the eight trigrams, called the Bagua external treatment method, each set of external treatment methods contains several treatment techniques, the treatment of a patient can choose one set according to the condition, or choose one or two methods from each of the several sets of treatment methods. There are several traditional treatment methods of Taoist medicine, such as hot ironing of fire cupping, pricking cupping and bloodletting, lintel needle treatment, external plaster treatment, etc.

Wuwei Taoist said, today, the "Eight Purple Gold Ingots" I brought are the ancestors of Wudang Mountain Immortals, specializing in the treatment of children's high fever and convulsions, with unique curative effects, and have been famous for a hundred years.

Wu Qing was taken aback, and then said, "Then thank you Wuwei Daoist!" ”

Wuwei Taoist introduced that after continuous exploration, the application scope of "Bading Purple Gold Ingot" has been expanded to treat epilepsy, fainting, injured food, convulsions, poisonous insect bites and other diseases.

Wu Qing nodded legendary.

The master of Wuwei Taoist escaped into the Taoist gate, devoted himself to cultivation, participated in the Xuanwu Dao, made great achievements, got rid of the world, devoted himself to the Fengshan Xuanmen, taught from the Taishang, and gave the mantle, inherited and carried forward the fine tradition of helping the world and saving people, and became associated with Xianshan from then on. Because of his long-term dedication to the research of Taoist medicine, Taoist health exercises, numerology, etc., his reputation has long been far and wide.

Speaking of health preservation, Wuwei Taoist thinks, "These are all in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing". Wuwei Taoist continued, in fact, the most important classics for health preservation are the four tempering gods and the ancient naΓ―ve theory in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing". These are not only medical classics, but also Taoist truths. Taoism is famous for its health preservation.

Wu Qing nodded again and again and said, "Actually, what Taoist doctors really focus on is not curing diseases, but maintaining health. Wellness is the nourishment of life. Tea medicine is the same origin, tea medicine is the same! ”

"Shennong's Materia Medica" records: "Tea taste bitter and cold, long-term peace of mind and good qi, light body and hard work." "Tea can cure swollen head, bladder disease, cold and fever, chest inflammation, and quench thirst and excitement, so that the mood is refreshed. At least during the Warring States period, tea as a medicine was already known to the Chinese people.

Wuwei Taoist said "uh-huh", and said that the Taoist rules require Taoists to "eat without saying a word, sleeping without speaking", and combine the cultivation of the mind with the cultivation of the body.

This means to keep a good mood, think less, work less and nourish your energy; Combination of diet and nourishment, no partial eating, no overeating; The combination of dynamic and static exercises, and the combination of practice and medicine, is also a kind of integrated health preservation method.

Wu Qing said, "Only by taking the benefits and avoiding the harms can we achieve a healthy and balanced state." ”

Today, Wuwei Daoist felt that he had basically achieved the purpose of going down the mountain, so he got up and said goodbye. Wu Qing sent it outside the store, and he didn't feel that his heart was hot, and he seemed to be a little cold when he looked at the lonely figure of the Wuwei Taoist who was far away.

She suddenly thought that she was once alone, but thanks to the immortal master who took her in and taught her skills, she has her own today!
