The plaque of Anqing Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory hangs high, the door is full of shredded paper of firecrackers, and the smell of gunpowder in the air has not dissipated for a long time. This pharmaceutical factory was built by Chai Dongliang, and the "Sanyi" dart bureau invested in the secret recipe, accounting for 20% of the shares. The pharmaceutical factory is divided into two parts, one part is pharmaceutical, and the other part is engaged in the development of new special drugs.

When Li Darttou saw such a big pharmaceutical factory, Le's mouth couldn't close. Now that trains and ships are connected, and the business of exchanging silver bills is all over the city and countryside, who still asks someone to dart? In addition to doing some work as a caretaker, the dart bureau has no other source of income, and it is about to close the century-old brand "Sanyi". Li Dart's head turned white, but he didn't expect that a pie fell from the sky, and the ancestral secret recipe became a fragrant dumpling, and he actually exchanged it for 20% of the shares.

Li Darttou has seen with his own eyes what the businessmen of the Hui Gang who invested in the Wuhu Industrial Park and the cement factory have become, especially the Wu family, which can be described as making money. accounted for 20% of the shares of the pharmaceutical factory, and the 100 people in the dart bureau broke their legs and had no worries about food and clothing.

Chai Dongliang accompanied him to inspect the pharmaceutical factory, only to see all kinds of herbs being sent to a crusher to be beaten into granules, and then ground into fine powders with a small ball mill. Li Dart's head and eyes are not enough, and this efficiency is thousands of times faster than using copper grinders. After reading the workshop, Chai Dongliang and he went to see the warehouse, in the warehouse of thousands of square meters, the medicinal materials were neatly placed after drying and drying, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.

Li Darttou took a few greedy breaths and said with a smile: "Dudu, this smell will not cause you to get sick after smelling it for a long time." ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and didn't make a sound, and a young man in a white coat next to him interjected coldly: "Superstition! ”

Li Dart's face changed suddenly, and he shook his casserole-sized fist and said angrily: "Who are you talking about?" ”

The young man said unceremoniously: "It's you, smell the smell of medicine and you will not get sick?" This is superstition, it's witchcraft! ”

"Boy, there's a kind of you saying it again!" Li Dart stared at the bull's eye and roared.

Chai Dongliang stopped with a smile: "Okay, today is a good day to open, stop it!" ”

The young man, Wei Ming, an associate professor at the Massachusetts State Medical College, was invited by the American Church to return to China to participate in the scientific research and teaching work of the pharmaceutical factory and Anqing Union Medical College.

Li Dart didn't speak angrily, and Wei Ming looked disdainful. Chai Dongliang had no choice but to play a round game, even after a hundred years, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are still not convinced by each other, Chinese medicine thinks that Western medicine has big side effects, and Western medicine thinks that Chinese medicine is unscientific??? The tip of the needle is against Maimang, and there is still no conclusion after a hundred years of quarreling.

Chai Dongliang suddenly found a pile of similar bones on the medicine shelf, and walked up to look at it and was startled: "What is this?" ”

Li Darttou glanced at it and said: "This is called a keel, knife tip medicine, and it is the most effective way to treat red injuries!" ”

Chai Dongliang rubbed his eyes vigorously, on the shelf were some burnt black tortoise shells and animal bones, there were faint traces of carving on them, picked up a piece and looked at it, and then wiped it with his sleeve, showing tadpole-like words.

"You use this as medicine?" Chai Dongliang looked at Li Dart in astonishment and said.

Li Dart was confused: "Yes, this is a keel, a good medicinal material, and the words on it are the most effective!" ”

Chai Dongliang collapsed: "Where did you get this?" ”

"Henan, the farmers over there in Anyang sold it to the pharmacy, and I finally collected so many hundred catties, which can be used for two months at most, and I will have to buy more in a few days!"

"This is a national treasure, do you know it?" Chai Dongliang was crazy: "This is called oracle bone inscription, this is the earliest Chinese writing, a priceless treasure left by the ancestors, you grinded it as medicine and took it to cure the disease?" Is it only effective with words? You can't figure it out! ”

Li Darttou was stunned by Chai Dongliang's roar, and he was stunned for a long time before he said aggrievedly: "The recipe handed down by the ancestors has been made like this for a hundred years, Dudu, you can say with your conscience, what about my red wound medicine?" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled bitterly: "The effect of the medicine is indeed effective, but you can't use this thing as medicine, right?" Besides, what evidence do you have to show that the only thing with words works, and what doesn't have words has no effect? ”

Li Darttou was speechless, and muttered after a while: "Anyway, that's what the ancestor said, we can't doubt the ancestor's words, right?" ”

Wei Ming interjected with a sneer: "This is superstition, and it is only effective with words?" Have you done experiments? What is the basis! ”

Li Dart's head was originally a belly of fire, but he dared not speak out against Chai Dongliang, and when he saw Wei Ming sneering, he said angrily: "Fake foreign devil, why don't you dare to beat you when you are Lao Tzu?" No more nonsense, grandpa's fist does not agree! ”

Wei Ming sneered at each other: "Reason is not loud, doesn't it mean that you have exhausted your reasoning by pressing people with your fists!" ”

"Poor in words? Grandpa is beating you for this poor reason??? Guys! Li Dart flew out with a punch in his head, and Wei Ming was immediately knocked out of the air, hitting the medicine shelf, and the tortoise shell and animal bones were scattered all over the ground.

The knot of this punch was solid, and half of Wei Ming's face suddenly swollen, his nose and mouth were broken, and blood was gushing all over his face.

"Where's my glasses? What about my glasses? Wei Ming is highly myopia, and after his glasses are knocked away, he is not much better than a blind man, and he endures the sharp pain on his face and gropes on the ground.

Chai Dongliang said angrily: "Okay, have you staged a full martial arts?" Is this a pharmaceutical factory or a theater? ”

Li Darttou said aggrievedly: "Dudu, this foreign devil bullied me stupidly, and I don't know my ancestors after eating foreigners' meals for a few days?" I'm fighting this kind of bastard who forgets his ancestors! ”

Chai Dongliang glared at him, personally picked up the glasses from the ground, and handed them to Wei Ming: "Professor Wei, I'm sorry!" You've been wronged! ”

Wei Ming snorted angrily: "It's so rude, barbaric, superstitious!" ”

Chai Dongliang turned to Li Dart and said: "The pharmaceutical factory has suspended production, sealed all these tortoiseshell beast bones, and no one is allowed to move a piece without my order!" After that, he turned around and scolded and walked towards the office: "It's too nonsense, take the oracle bone as medicine!" ”

In the office of the pharmaceutical factory, Chai Dongliang has been silent, Li Darttou also felt that he was too impulsive just now, and now he is a little afraid, and he is unwilling to give in in front of Wei Ming, everyone is silent, and the smell of gunpowder in the air is even stronger.

Half an hour later, the storekeeper came over and reported: "If you go back to the governor, a total of 1,228 pieces of tortoise shells and animal bones with characters have all been sealed, and there are more than 3,000 pieces left, what do you think?" ”

Chai Dongliang said angrily: "The wordless ones are temporarily sealed in the warehouse, and all the words are sent to Anqing Public School for me, and those who are full of learning are invited to study them??? Treat the treasures of the country and national culture as bricks and tiles, you really can! ”

Li Darttou faintly felt that he was in trouble, these "keels" with words may really be some priceless treasure, could it be that the words on them were written by the gods?

Chai Dongliang drank bitter herbal tea to reduce his anger, and then said slowly: "The handwriting on these tortoise shells and animal bones is left by our ancient Chinese, and it is the oldest Chinese language, which is of great significance to the study of the origin and development of Chinese culture and Chinese characters. ”

His voice grew louder and louder, and finally he almost roared at the top of his throat.

"The Chinese have always said that they have been civilized for 5,000 years, but they have never been able to produce evidence, and the oracle bone is one of the most powerful evidence, but it has been trampled by you at will! Li Darttou, don't be unconvinced, your red wound medicine is very effective, but why does it work, do you know? If the 'keel' used is not left by the ancients, and it does not carry words, is there any effect? Have you tried??? Surely you don't, right? Chai Dongliang took a few breaths and suppressed his anger: "The ancestors of the Chinese left a lot of good things, but good things in ancient times do not mean that they are still good now!" ”

Wei Ming said coldly: "Chinese medicine has no scientific reason at all, it is witchcraft!" ”

Li Dart slapped the case and said angrily: "Fart! Kind of you say it again? ”

"What did I say? Chinese medicine is witchcraft! Wei Ming showed no weakness.

Chai Dongliang saw that the two of them pinched again, and said angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”

The two sat down and glared at each other.

Chai Dongliang sighed and said, "Professor Wei is right, Chinese medicine is witchcraft!" ”

Li Darttou roared angrily: "Dudu, why do you help foreign devils say such bad things about their ancestors? ”

Chai Dongliang pressed his palm down, signaling him to be quiet, and then said: "There is no distinction between ancient witch doctors, whether Chinese or foreign, traditional medicine is inseparable from witchcraft??? Chinese say that the five internal organs correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five elements are harmonized by yin and yang, while Westerners believe that people have four body fluids, corresponding to the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind, and balance them with the two forces of love and hate. The traditional medicine of Chinese and foreign people all relies on experience to cure diseases, cure the bad, cure the living and cure the dead, and they don't understand what it is for, just like your red wound medicine, do you know why you can cure external injuries? What happens if there is one less medicine, and what happens if there is one more medicine? What happens when the dosage changes??? You don't know, do you? Not only do you not know, but all the doctors don't know, and that's the worst thing! Everyone knows that cinchona cream cures malaria, but why? ”

Li Darttou was speechless, and Wei Ming interjected: "That's because the malaria parasite causes malaria, and the quinine in cinchona cream can kill the malaria parasite!" ”

Chai Dong nodded and said: "Li Darttou, a hundred years ago, foreigners were the same as us Chinese, and I don't know why, now people know that the Chinese still think that the five elements of yin and yang are omnipotent, if foreigners also hold the things left by their ancestors, and also think that earth, fire, water and wind are omnipotent, and the things of the ancestors can never be questioned, then they will not progress!" There are both essence and dross of things left by ancestors, and future generations must know how to identify, which are the essence and which are dross, how to identify them? Only continuous experiments, come up with real evidence, can not be what the ancestors say, real gold is not afraid of fire, the essence through the test more and more to prove its preciousness??? Let's talk about the treatment of malaria, the ancients had a record of treating malaria with Artemisia annua 2,000 years ago, and left more than 200 prescriptions for treating malaria with Artemisia annua, but China's malaria has been spreading for 2,000 years and has not been curbed, why is this? ”

Li Dart was thoughtful, and only shook his head after a long time.

Chai Dongliang continued: "These two hundred prescriptions, most of them are the so-called famous doctors of the past dynasties after reading a few ancient prescriptions, they imagined out of thin air, and the remaining part is really effective, and the doctor himself does not understand why, the descendants follow the prescription to grasp the medicine, the condition not only does not improve but deteriorates, why is the prescription that was effective before now useless?" What's the problem? No one has delved into it??? Opportunism is a little cleverness, do a good job of research to find out the truth, this is great wisdom! ”

The current situation of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed a headache, when Chai Dongliang was sick, the next person also found a few imperial doctors in the former Qing Dynasty, and the prescription almost scared Chai Dongliang to faint. Sugarcane skins that have been frosted for three years, grasshoppers of twins, earthworms at the root of walls??? Whether these things will die if they are eaten is only God knows.

The theory of using medicinal materials is even more incredible, the treatment of edema is to use the broken drum skin, because edema is also called "bulging", so the skin of the broken drum can be suppressed, the leech will suck blood, it is thought that it can be dried into the medicine to activate blood stasis, and the earthworm drills around in the soil, it is thought that it can be dried and diuretic. Even the absurd things in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" abound, and husband and wife drinking a cup of rainwater after the beginning of spring can treat infertility!

Wei Ming suddenly asked, "Dudu, do you have any basis for saying that Artemisia annua can treat malaria?" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "No, according to the need for you people to find, one prescription after another, and then summarize the law surname, thoroughly understand the truth, Western medicine is not achieved overnight, it is also developed from half witch and half medicine, traditional Western medicine and Chinese medicine are no different, they are all dross and essence coexist??? If you find out the essence of Chinese medicine and carry it forward, completely discard the dross in it, summarize the laws, and reconstruct the theory of Chinese medicine with scientific methods and means, if you do this, you doctors will really have great merit??? If Chinese medicine continues to rest on its laurels, sooner or later it will be completely abandoned, and the essence of it will be treated as bricks and tiles like the oracle bone inscription just now! ”

Wei Ming sincerely admired: "I didn't expect that Du Du also knows medicine well!" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled faintly and didn't speak, we have computers and book friend groups!

From the information on the computer, Chai Dongliang has been very clear that the artemisinin for the treatment of malaria must be made of Artemisia annua, and it must be squeezed fresh to have an effect, and after boiling at high temperature, it will have no effect, which is why China has not been able to treat malaria for more than 2,000 years Chinese??? But he didn't say it, he wanted Wei Ming and others to test it out with their own hands, and from unsuccessful to successful again and again.

A set of scientific methods is the most important thing!

The correctness of the means is often more important than the correctness of the results!

It is hoped that the ancient Chinese medicine can be reborn from the trouble of witchcraft and become the most dazzling pearl in the cultural treasure house of the motherland!
