It is said that for the name of "Yunnan Baiyao", the vast majority of people will not be unfamiliar, as a famous precious medicinal material in China well-known at home and abroad. White medicine is made of a variety of precious medicinal materials as raw materials, and through special processes, its effect is also very significant.
To say that this white medicine, in fact, has a history of about 100 years, in this hundred years, the "process" of white medicine can be said to be quite difficult and tortuous. The person who gave the medicine was named Qu Huanzhang, a Lang Zhong. In the 1880s, Qu Huanzhang was born in a small village (a place called Houwei Zhaoguan Village in Jiangchuan County, Yunnan Province).
Qu Huanzhang had a tragic childhood, when he was 7 years old, his father died of illness, not only that, two years later, Qu Huanzhang died of illness when he was 9 years old, and he was only a half-grown child, Qu Huanzhang, who could only live with his sister who was only 13 years old.
By 1892, when Qu Huanzhang was 12 years old, life forced Qu Huanzhang's sister to marry early and marry a Langzhong. Since then, he has been living in his sister's home, because his brother-in-law is a langzhong, who helps him fight every day, treats diseases and saves people' ears, and from then on, Qu Huanzhang also began his path of studying medicine.
As the old saying goes, the children of poor families have long been in charge, because they are born poor, which has created his extremely strong resilience, Qu Huanzhang not only has the spirit of hard-working and hard-working, but also, in medicine, he dares to constantly innovate and try.
At the same time, Qu Huanzhang was very humble on the road to study, often going to seek advice and visiting famous local ethnic doctors and herbalists, learning and gaining a lot of valuable experience and wound medicine.
In Qu Huanzhang's youth, he also paid special visits to famous teachers (with Yao Hongjun as his teacher) to learn the healing and healing secrets of the Wudang School, and he studied hard for more than 10 years.
In 1914, after repeated research and development, Qu Huanzhang made "Qu's White Medicine", which is a miracle medicine for treating bruises and knife and gun wounds, and the light wounds are half a month, and the serious ones are healed in several months.
Soon Qushi Baiyao became famous in the local area, and in 1916, the health center of the Yunnan Provincial Police Department also listed it as a superior medicine, allowing it to be sold publicly.
Later, Qu Huanzhang invented medicines such as Tiger Force Scatter and Bone Support, which were valued by Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, and appointed Qu Huanzhang as a first-class military doctor. The following year, Qu Huanzhang began to fill the white medicine and sold the white medicine to the whole country. At this point, Qu Huanzhang's reputation has been established throughout the country.
In 1918, the Dian Army participated in the National Northern Expedition, and wu Xuexian, the commander of the Dian Army, was shot in a battle, and the Kunming Hospital believed that only amputation could save his life, but Qu Huanzhang always insisted on using white medicine for treatment. In the end, Wu Xuexian's injuries recovered under the action of white medicine.
Qu Huanzhang thus became a "divine doctor", and Tang Jiyao also sent someone to send his door plaque "Medicine Crown Nandian", which was famous and real. Because of his fame, the number of seekers for medical treatment is endless, and Qu Huanzhang also relies on the hearts of the doctor's parents to save countless people's diseases with medical skills and white medicine.
In 1931, Qu Huanzhang established the "Qu Huan Zhang Pharmacy" in Kunming, and renamed the white medicine "Bai Bao Dan", and the annual sales of Bai Bao Dan could reach 400,000 bottles, which was an amazing number.
In 1938, Qu Huanzhang was taken to Chongqing by the authorities and appointed as the "director of the Chinese Medical Center", but at this point, there was a big problem, and the president of the Supreme Court of the authorities at that time was Jiao Yitang, whose view was "to discuss the great cause of the great cause, resist Japan and save the country", to jointly run the Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Factory, and ordered Qu Huanzhang to hand over the "Baibaodan".
This Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Factory is actually Jiao Yitang's property, so Qu Huanzhang categorically refused, and Jiao Yitang became angry after learning about it, because he held heavy power and directly announced his personal vendetta, and even put Qu Huanzhang under direct house arrest, threatening and inducing him to hand over the "secret recipe".
Qu Huanzhang was full of grief and indignation, and it was not long before he was unfortunately infected with dysentery, and in 1938, he died in a "private prison" specially prepared for him by Jiao Yitang, at this time Qu Huanzhang was only 58 years old, and a generation of "medicine gods" died.
After the founding of New China, Qu Huanzhang's wife Miao Lanying took the initiative to dedicate the secret recipe of "Baibaodan" (now Yunnan Baiyao) to the authorities, so that it could see the light again and better shine and benefit the people.
The legendary life of Qu Huanzhang is also closely related to his invention of Yunnan Baiyao, and the story of Qu Huanzhang is also worthy of eternal memory by future generations.
